Character History

Origin

Candra is an immortal, so her exact origin is unknown. Her story picks up when she had a deal with the Thieves' and Assassins' Guild of New Orleans, in which she provided them with power in exchange for monetary tributes. This deal was broken by Gambit, whom she encountered when he journeyed back to the past to stop the Thieves' Guild from giving her the secrets of Apocalypse. Candra was also behind Belladonna's abduction of Cody, the boy sent into a coma by Rogue's first kiss, in an attempt to torture Gambit by trapping Rogue and having her killed. Fortunately, Rogue survived the attempt. Candra never joined with the other Externals, and preferred to play the power broker alone. To that end, years ago she placed the sum total of her power into a gem, which a young Storm stole. Recently, when Storm's teacher Achmed-el-Gibar died, Candra convinced the young thief Jamil, who seemed to be a powerful mutant, to join her, promising him even greater power. However, when Candra used Jamil to lure Storm to her and reacquire her Heart (the power gem), it was discovered that Jamil was only a psychic projection of Karima, another young thief, who was the true mutant. Storm destroyed Candra's Heart, and it appears that Candra may have died as a result. New Orleans is the largest city in the state of Louisiana, United States of America. ...
