Michael Debauer is the true name of the Remaal al-Sahra agent who went undercover as Nathaniel Drake in order to infiltrate X-Factor. He has also been known as Andrew Belanger, Stephen McNulte, James Campbell, and Giacomo De Luca -- among many, many others.
He is currently in federal custody. After interviewing him in custody in Utah, Tom and Belladonna had him transferred to a mutant-capable facility in New York so that he would no longer be limited to solitary confinement.

Mutation[]

Skills[]
He's adaptive and mercurial, with tremendous focus. He's trained in deep undercover and investigative roles.
Personality Profile[]
His personality ... varies, depending on the role that he plays. Beneath it all, he seems to have an old-fashioned sensibility and a ruthless ends-justify-the-means morality. He has very little tolerance for corruption and a problem with seeing innocents suffer.

Investigation[]
Following the identification of Drake as al-Sahra agent Debauer, he was taken into X-Factor custody and telepathically interrogated by Jake Janssen. In the course of this, she uncovered his true identity and purpose, as well as a series of aliases, which X-Factor systematically investigated:
- Andrew Belanger (February 18, 2010)
- Alessia and Walter investigate one of Michael Debauer's past aliases in the the Hague. Files retrieved on the investigation revealed evidence of Remaal al-Sahra attempting to narrow the illegal substance market.
- Stephen McNult (February 25, 2010)
- Isabel, Kelsey, and Madrox investigate a top US law firm in an attempt to determine why Michael Debauer had spent time working there.
- Terry and Amber investigate Giacomo De Luca, involved in labor racketeering in Detroit -- yet another of Debauer's identities.
After some preliminary background checks, Isabel and Alden traveled to Chicago to check out Michael's past, with no helpful results.
