Biography
The Gamesmaster
Selene sought out Gamesmaster and asked him to become the arbiter of the Upstarts competition she had organized. Hoping this survival of the fittest style contest would help mold and shape the next generation of mutant leaders, Selene had contacted several candidates like Shinobi Shaw. All participants agreed to abide by the Gamesmaster's rulings. Symbol of rulership was the ring of Sebastian Shaw, Black King of the Hellfire Club. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #283) Gamesmaster set up several monitoring stations across the world from which he could observe and study his targets. (Excalibur v1 #74) Shinobi Shaw asked Gamesmaster to arbitrate in the matter of the Upstarts' leadership. Gamesmaster, through his contact screen, judged that Shaw was still in charge of the team, even though Fitzroy had only recently obtained the symbol of leadership, Sebastian Shaw's signet ring, after he had some Sentinels cut off Shinobi's ring finger. After delivering his judgement, Gamesmaster turned to Selene who was delighted by the turn of events especially when considering that the game would get truly interesting as soon as the Upstarts learned the true nature of the game and the prize they were fighting over. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #283)
