Bonita Page | A former Marine who later served with the FBI, Bonita Page left after M-Day when a neighbour child was consumed in the flames. The explosion gutted the building, killing Page's husband and two children. While officially on leave, Page was an early recruit of the Sapien League, one of the few who has been directly interacted with by leadership. One of their ablest field leaders, Page has a powerful presence in the group. She was believed killed in conflict with the X-Men when she was set on fire by Erg.

Details
The Sapien League is an erstwhile human supremacist movement that believes mutants represent a dangerous genetic disease; a species wide form of cancer that will not supplant humanity as much as destroy them and themselves. The members of the League are often former military and the cells are organized as squads. Little is known about their leadership, although the members of the League are told that they are working on a cure for the mutant disease. The League kidnaps mutants for study and disposal. They do not hold protests or demonstrations and have thus far managed to remain under the radar of law enforcement. They often disguise themselves as police, government agents and other legitimate authorities to cover their tracks and intimidate potential witnesses.
They appeared in January 2016, targeting the homeless mutants living in the sewers known as the Morlocks. When things got violent as the Morlocks fought back, the X-Men intervened, "saving" the Sapien Leaguers, only to have the League turn against them. While the combined forces of the X-Men and the Morlocks were able to overcome the League, its members preferred suicide to being captured, and killed the hostages they had taken rather than let them be freed.
