Name: SOFIA MANTEGA-BARRET


Date of Birth: December 9, 1978

Powers: Control of air currents

Status: X-FORCER - AVAILABLE FOR APPLICATIONS

A disgraced FBI profiler, Sofia Mantega-Barret was hired by Emma Frost as the official therapist for the X-Force team. A deal with Remy LeBeau brought her into the field as an active participant, in return for compliance in their sessions from the team. Aloof and highly self-controlled, Sofia nonetheless found herself becoming a part of the team and developing a certain fondness for the younger members, especially Mark Sheppard (who rescued her during a mission gone wrong) and Illyana Rasputin, who she adopted as her assistant. With their departures, Sofia withdrew into herself again, and is now working as a consultant profiler and expert witness for various court cases.

Former model and STRIKE agent, Betsy Braddock came to Xavier's following a mission that left her blinded. Her sight restored by Nathan Essex in a controversial operation, Betsy was possessed by Kwannon, donor of the brain tissue used in her cure. Kwannon's reign damaged Betsy's confidence and many of her relationships, including that with Scott Summers, and she spent the next few years somewhat aimless. X-Man for a time, she eventually shifted towards the team's intelligence operations and then helped create X-Force. The public face of the group's cover identity, the Snow Valley Memorial Center for Mutant Affairs, Betsy has taken a sabbatical in order to assist her twin brother Brian care for their mentally ill elder sibling, Jamie.

Pete Wisdom: Trained initially as an assassin and then as an agent for British Intelligence from the age of 18, Pete spent ten years working in intelligence before becoming disillusioned and being fired for his particular brand of objecting to certain decisions. He relocated to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, ostensibly the guidance counsellor and self-defence teacher, but in reality running Charles Xavier's intel network for the X-Men. The arrival of Amanda Sefton, a runaway mutant witch entrusted to his care by his sister Romany, added a personal aspect to Pete's position at the school, the girl quickly becoming family to him. It was on her account he went undercover for a year as the White King of the Hellfire Club, a move that was seen by those not in the loop, such as Remy LeBeau, as a personal betrayal. Following the fall of Selene, Pete left the school and later sought out Remy, Amanda and Betsy Braddock to help him rescue his sister. The group that they gathered became the foundation of a new team, X-Force, of which Pete was a field leader for three years until his physical and mental breakdown following the events of Day Zero and Mechanisms of Revenge. Plagued by his callous sacrifice of friends and innocents in the cause, he is currently AWOL, trying, in his words, to 'get his head on straight'.

Mark Sheppard met the folks at the Snow Valley Memorial Center for Mutant Affairs when an investigation into the disappearances of young mutants led them to his nightclub, Silver. After assisting them discover what happened, he signed on and worked as SV’s receptionist, bringing a rather goofy and flamboyant humor to X-Force. A close call with a demon dimension nearly cost him his life, and in September 2009 he left the Snow Valley offices to better use his talents and contacts with the mutant underground.

David North: The former Stasi agent first came to the notice of the X-Men after his Weapon X conditioning broke and he found himself fleeing Omega Red, vague memories of Logan driving him to seek asylum at the school. He disappeared after Omega Red was defeated, casting off his true identity as Chritophe Nord and becoming David North, maverick agent, before resurfacing again in early 2009. Again he needed help from the X-Men, as Daniel Lyman had double crossed him and activated the Shiva protocols, a failsafe used by Weapon X in the event of an agent gone rogue. With the help of Betsy Braddock and X-Force, North was able to "deactivate" the conditioned agents sent after him and found himself being offered a job with X-Force. In September 2009 he went deep undercover in Europe, for an unspecified amount of time, seeking information on mutant weaponisation programs.
