It was in the asylum, being tortured and trained as a mind breaker, that he met [[Emma Frost]] and agreed to help her escape in exchange for his own freedom and a save haven.

He spent almost a year in a coma before returning to Xavier's to retrain his powers and resume his place with the White Court of the [[Hellfire Club]]. The discovery of a [[Valentia de la Rocha| younger sister]] who was also an empath drove him to consider the welfare of someone else before his own, and when she was almost abducted in [[February 2010]], Manuel made the decision to relocate to Spain and live anonymously for a time. His sister, however, will still need training, and who is to say the siblings will be safe on their own?

One personality is the quiet, prudish and very human schoolmarm Jeanne-Marie, the other the super-powered and unstable Aurora. Separated from her brother after the death of their parents and brought up in a reactionary Catholic school for girls from an early age, Jeanne-Marie was tormented by her fellow students and manifested her flight, superspeed and invulnerability when she tried to commit suicide by throwing herself off the roof. Convinced she was a tool of the devil, Jeanne-Marie repressed her mutant powers, sparking off the split into her two selves, and over time her episodes became more dramatic. Recruited to Alpha Flight by Logan from off the streets, she was reunited with her brother but eventually she required hospitalisation for her mental issues. Escaping, she tracked Jean-Paul down to Xavier's, where she spent a short time confusing people before returning to Canada with him for further treatment. Eventually, however, she disappeared, unable to stand what her instability was doing to her twin, winding up in France and undergoing apparently successful reintegration. She returned to Xavier's following her brother's psionic torture, drawn to him by their shared bond, and choosing to go with him to Muir Island when his treatment required it.
