Following her husband's accidental death, Sharon married Brian's colleague, Kurt Marko.<br/><br/>By the time Charles graduated high school, he was completely bald as a side effect of his mutant nature. He entered Bard College in New York at age 16 and earned his bachelor's degree in biology within two years.  He was then accepted into the graduate-studies program at England's prestigious Oxford University, where he earned degrees in genetics and biophysics. There, Charles met and fell in love with a young Scotswoman named Moira Kinross.  Their passionate discussions on the subject of genetic mutation gave way to romance, and they planned to marry.  Their only obstacle was Moira's former boyfriend, Joe MacTaggert, a lance corporal in the Royal Marines and a bully.  In Joe's eyes, Charles was a good-for-nothing intellectual, so Charles enlisted in the U.S. military after completing his studies at Oxford to validate himself in terms his rival would understand.<br/><br/>In the military, Charles quickly became something of a legend in the area of search and rescue thanks to his mutant abilities; he also met Nick Fury.  A few years later, Charles was devastated when Moira broke off their engagement without explanation.  He left the Army and began traveling the world.  While in Israel, he met and befriended Max Eisenhardt and fell in love with Gabrielle Haller.  An accident while mountain climbing and exploring in the Andes resulted in Charles’ paraplegia.<br/><br/>After recovering, Charles resumed graduate work at Columbia University in New York, and after receiving a Ph.D. in anthropology he spent several years in London earning a M.D. in psychiatry. There, Charles renewed his friendship with Moira, who had married Joe MacTaggert and was now a renowned geneticist.  Charles eventually returned to the United States and continued his studies on mutation.  It was at this time Professor John Grey, a friend of Charles' from Bard College, brought his young daughter Jean to Charles for help. Jean had been traumatized when she telepathically experienced the death of a friend. Charles aided in her recovery, and in the ensuing years trained her to use her mental powers.<br/><br/>Soon after, Nick Fury approached Charles and, together, they began making plans to open a school to help train and direct young people, such as, Jean Grey.<br/><br/><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong>Xavier is Compassionate, Intelligent, Committed, Idealistic, and sometimes Secretive.<br/><br/><br/><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong>A wheelchair, his Westchester ancestral home, estimated worth of 3.5 billion dollars.<br/><br/><br/><strong>NOTES:</strong>Charles Xavier is a GM NPC.  Information on the character was taken from http://marvel.com/universe/Professor_X<br/>
