Jake came to Xavier's as a woman, to see if [[Charles Xavier| Charles]] could help him change back into male form permanently; something he'd not been able to do since [[May 2003]] as a result of the [[X2| Big Headache]]. Xavier explained that the problem was probably in Jake's head, and Jake agreed to stay at the school for therapy, acting as the temporary Student Counselor along side [[Pete Wisdom]].  
 
 
 
The school housed several people Jake already knew a little from before, like [[Emma Frost]], [[Betsy Braddock]], Pete Wisdom, [[Warren Worthington| Warren Worthington III]] and [[Monet St. Croix]]. During his tempestuous first days, he was accidentally turned into a frog by [[Amanda Sefton]]. He also made the frightening discovery of [[Gambit]], who he recognized from a chance meeting years before.
 
 
 
Jake remained at the school for several months, until finally regaining his control over his powers and being able to switch between forms again. Following his new success, he decided to return to the family business at the urging of his parents.
 
 
 
While working for Infonet Inc, Jake used his former association with Xavier’s to help increase their reputation in certain areas. Unfortunately, it drew the attention of [[Remy LeBeau]] when he was working to set up new networks following [[Hellfire and Damnation| Wisdom’s defection]] to the [[Hellfire Club]]. LeBeau brought Jake back to the mansion to assist him in the new effort to rebuild the shattered intelligence networks. Working with Betsy and Remy, Jake helped design new lines of communication, and arrange for relationships with some of his contacts at Infonet.
 
 
 
However, after Remy’s [[High Cost Of Living| crippling]] and the return of Wisdom to the school, Jake decided that he had fulfilled his duties, and once again decided to return to his family’s business. He still maintains an unofficial alliance with Wisdom, Remy and Betsy, trading off the odd piece of information that might be of concern.

Courier: Jake Gavin Jr., is also known as 'Courier' as a result of his long-standing employment with his family's company, Infonet. Jake is a molecular-level shapeshifter, able to control every cell in his body and effect changes as minor as altering his eye colour, or as major as changing his entire gender. Stuck in a woman's form after X2, Jake came to Xavier's for help, somehow ending up as co-student counsellor with Pete Wisdom. Having regained his control again, Jake returned to Infonet, only to be coerced by Remy LeBeau into becoming a resource for intel-type matters, and later for X-Force. Not particularly brave or heroic, Jake looks out for himself but is capable of forming friendships that frequently last longer than the next best offer. Except if that offer involves cake.
