Biography
Alain Racine
Peregrine was once again hired by Silver Sable to destroy a surveillance outpost belonging to an enemy army in the Persian Gulf that was threatening a corporation's trade route in the area. While en-route to the platform, the Peregrine was aggressively attacked by a gunboat. After dropping a few grenades on the boat, it exploded and he continued on to his target. While at the platform, the American battleship, the USS Cochrane, forced him to land on their deck and he was informed while surrendering to Admiral Ellis that the platform was an oil rig that was being fought over by the Americans, Iraqis and Stane International over ownership. He was also told that Stane was dealing guns, munitions and oil to both sides and that the Americans were going to take control of the platform to control their interests in the region. The Peregrine quickly escaped the battleship and using his greater mobility caused the platform to take direct fire from the American ship's cannons. With the platform destroyed, the Peregrine, then feeling a little used by his employers, located the Stane Corp ship in the area and planted explosives on their hull and informed the ship's captain to evacuate quickly. Departing, the Peregrine smiled and was uncertain of Silver Sable's reaction over completing his mission by ending it with a little panache. (Marvel Comics Presents v1 #51)
Recently, Scarlet Witch came to Paris to find Le Peregrine in severe depression over the death of his wife, Adele. While Alain was elsewhere trying to find perpetrators of attacks on Paris, Adele was out driving and got into an accident. Blaming himself for being unable to prevent her death, Alain had failed to take off since and even considered suicide. Scarlet Witch's efforts to let him meet Adele's spirit again almost pushed him to kill himself, believing he would be reunited with her on the other side. However, both the Scarlet Witch and Adele convinced Alain otherwise, and he took off once again. (Scarlet Witch v2 #6)
