Biography
Garbha-Hsien was a male Mutant that was one of the Externals that were near immortal beings that had lived for centuries. By the 12th century, he was in Mongolia where he had discovered a large planet-bound vessel called Ship built by the Celestials but was unable to enter the craft. Around this time, the Egyptian Mutant named En Sabah Nur had arrived and had slain hordes of Mongols. Upon meeting Garbha-Hsien, he became intrigued at Ship and stabbed the External where he left him for dead whilst he himself entered Ship. Despite the fatal strike, Garbha-Hsien survived and continued to operate in the world with him taking the name Saul. (X-Force v1 #37) Many centuries ago, Garbha-hsien ruled the lands of the Hopeh Province in China with anyone that lived in the shadows of the Wu-tai Shan range being subjected to his rule. During his reign, he was noted to had fathered twelve children with temples being made for each of them. Inside each temple contained bits and pieces of information of he ancient ship that Garbha-hsien had discovered long ago. Such information was also included in the temple for his twelfth and final child. It was said that he had lived for a thousand years before vanishing. (Gambit v3 #1)
