Warren grew up an only child in Manhattan. His grandfather was the founder of Worthington Industries, and as a result Warren's family is extremely wealthy. He was sent to a boarding school as a child, and his mutation emerged while he was a student there. He managed to keep his wings, the physical manifestation of his powers, strapped down but he would not remain grounded -- at one point, his school dormitory caught fire and he was able to rescue several of his classmates, while wearing a wig and sheet. After this he started taking to the skies of NYC, fighting crime in a mask and costume. It was there that [[Charles Xavier| Professor Charles Xavier]] found him, and asked him to join his  school as one of the founding students, along with [[Scott Summers]], [[Jean Grey]], [[Ororo Munroe]] and [[Hank McCoy]]. His parents, still alive and living in New York, thoughr he was adjunting at a boarding school much like the one he had once attended.

An only child of privilege, Warren initially had difficulty settling in at the mansion. However his natural charm and wit soon won him friends among his peers, although he never did get on with Logan. Jean's  death hit him hard and he became isolated from the younger members of the school, focussing on his classes and on his lover, [[Piotr]] and Piotr's little sister [[Illyana]].

When Illyana was kidnapped and later disowned by her brother, Warren stood by Piotr, despite the uproar the disowning caused in the school and Piotr's general unpopularity among the students. When Piotr left for several months to undergo security training, Warren was forced to interact among a wider group, making some unlikely friends such as [[Amanda Sefton]] and [[Paige Guthrie]]. He also renewed old acquaintances, such as [[Jake Gavin]] and [[Shinobi Shaw]].

Warren was an active [[X-Men| X-Man]] for all the time he was at the school, however he suffered a crisis of faith after the [[Skippy (plot)| Skippy incident]]. His idealism was dinted by the increasingly violent world outside of the mansion. However, the creation of [[HeliX]] and the [[Red X]] program gave him hope that perhaps not all heroes were naive fools.

Upon his graduation from law school and his passing of the bar exam, Warren returned to the school full-time as a teacher.

His family ties are in New York, however, and the school has a habit of drawing people back.

Warren's mutation is a pair of natural wings that span almost sixteen feet, from tip to tip. His entire anatomy is structured for ease of flight: hollow bones, minimal body fat, greater proportional strength than most humans, eyes that can withstand high winds and lung membranes that allow him to breathe in extreme velocities and altitudes.

Quicksilver

One of twins born to Erik Lensherr and his Rom wife Magda, Pietro sought his terrorist father out as a teen, eventually joining his Brotherhood of Mutants. The events of X2, however, rocked his faith in his father's vision, and he became a double agent, feeding information to the X-Men in an attempt to mitigate Magneto's extremes. When his cover was blown, he fled for his life to Charles Xavier, cutting a deal with the US government to avoid imprisonment for his own terrorist actions. He reunited with his sister Wanda, but their relationship, always a rocky one, had further strain placed on it by her position with X-Force. Pietro became an X-Man in order to try and redeem some of his own actions, but it wasn't enough for him - never a people person - to make the connections he needed, and the speedster eventually took on a job as security consultant to the royal family of Attilan, old friends of his. Attilan is but a small island - will Pietro's notoriously short attention span find another avenue in the future?
