History

Gambit started out as an adopted baby by the Thieves Guild of New Orleans who trained him to become a thief in the following years. The Thieves Guild leader, Candra, joined forces with Apocalypse and became one of his Horsemen, but she was later killed by Holocaust during the Horsemen's War of Succession. During those recovering days, Gambit fled the Thieves Clan and hid in the ruins of New Orleans, that got destroyed during the war. He first met the X-Men while they were fighting some of Apocalypse' Infinite soldiers. Gambit saw the Infinite's leader, Havok, attempting to kill Magneto but intercepted the blast.

Magneto invited Gambit to join the X-Men and the two became close friends. He became romantically involved with his teammate Rogue and even wanted to marry her. However, on the night he planned to propose, he saw Rogue kissing Magneto who had found a way to shut down her absorbing powers. Moments later, an agent of Apocalypse called Wolverine attacked the X-Men and badly injured both Gambit and Magneto. Rogue made her choice by first saving Magneto and then Gambit.

His feelings crushed, Gambit left the team and formed his own group of mutant thieves: the X-Ternals. They stole from mutants in order to help common humans in need. During this time, Gambit found a new girlfriend: Lila Cheney. When Magneto discovered the existence of a reality where Apocalypse was not its ruler, he wanted to make that reality happen. In order to do that, he asked Gambit to steal the M'Kraan Crystal, the Nexus of All Realities. During the attempt to retrieve the crystal, the team was betrayed by its member Strong Guy who kidnapped Magneto and Rogue's child and wanted to deliver it to his actual boss, Magneto. During the battle Lila was injured and Gambit chose to rescue her instead of going after the kid.

When Lila was rescued, Gambit joined Magneto and the X-Men in what they hoped to be their final battle against Apocalypse and his forces. However, their Earth didn't perish afterward and somehow continued to exist. Gambit agreed to fully rejoin the X-Men when they helped restore the world after Apocalypse initial demise. However, when the team was facing Mr. Sinister and his Marauders, Gambit was killed in battle.
