Who passed away in an a car accident when Charles was only nine years old. Shortly after which his mother married his father's ex-colleague Dr. Kurt Marko, in hopes of giving Charles a well-maintained and structured family. However it was anything but as the young man only faced resentment and scorn from his new step-father, the same of which he held for Charles' real father. If that wasn't bad enough Dr. Marko brought his real son, Charles' step-brother, Cain to live with the family after he and his mother were married, the boy constantly taking any chance he could to bully Charles. His step-father not caring for his blight in the slightest, since in truth he had only married Sharon to gain access to the vast Xavier fortune. Not caring for her in the slightest. So much so he even started to physically and violently abuse her. Kurt's actions leading Sharon to start drinking and becoming an alcoholic. Making Charles' home life and childhood all the more unstable. That is until one night just after he turned twelve years old he met a shapeshifting young-girl who had broken into his home scrounging for food named Raven, who Charles instantly felt a connection with.

Though this led to the man attempting to kill Charles, however before he could Raven protected him and stabbed Kurt, accidentally killing him. Cain witnessing the entire ordeal. This led to him running away, the paths of Charles and Raven not crossing with his again for many decades to come.
