[edit] Fictional character biography

Lourdes Chantel was a mutant teleporter and the lover of supervillain Sebastian Shaw, before he became the Black King of the Hellfire Club New York Branch. The two met when Lourdes' company hired Shaw to oversee one of its projects. She tried to sway Sebastian away from the Hellfire Club and its leader Ned Buckman, fearing the Club might corrupt her lover. It was Lourdes' death at the hands of Sentinels financed by Buckman which led Shaw to take over the Hellfire Club.

[edit] Character development

Claremont is known for using people who knows in his stories and Lourdes Chantel is based on Lourdes Ortiz, his translator at the 1985 Barcelona Comics Convention.^[1]
