Background

Blaise Salembere had worked in Ouagadougou for three years as a psychiatrist when he was asked to join Africa Force 4. It was a bold move for Burkina Faso and Salembere agreed, even though he had no real experience with uberhumans. The government assumed that because he had lived in the United States for several years that he was on intimate terms with all ubers. Salembere couldn't blame them. Uberhumans in Africa were either ignored, treated like carriers of disease, or drafted into armies. Africa was not really ready for the advent of uberhumans.

Salembere felt kindred ties to the uberhumans, not only because he had the ability to see into the x-ray spectrum, but also because of his sexual orientation. His time in America allowed him to embrace his sexuality and he felt that if attitudes towards ubers were improved in his home country as well as the rest of Africa, then homosexuality might also be accepted. At least, that was the theory.

Just before the end of Africa Force 4, Salembere's family discovered that he was gay and disowned him. In fact, almost all of his friends also shunned him and he considered leaving Burkina Faso altogether. His decision was delayed by the murderous attack on the Africa Force 4 headquarters, and Salembere was lucky to escape with his life.

In the aftermath, he witnessed trauma everywhere and knew that he was needed in Ouagadougou even if he wasn't wanted. He joined the fractured support team and helped rebuild the Force.
Personality
Salembere is a psychiatrist who has specialised in treating the refugees who have come to Africa Force 4. He sees these unfortunate people as moths to the beacon of Ouagadougou, even though the Africa Force 4 team is now gone. He treats everyone equally and tries to maintain his professional objectiveness, althoguh the small children who come through his office often make him shudder internally at the injustices of the world.

His private life has improved in the past year and he has started a relationship with an American aid worker, Charlie Spencer.
Quote
"Let's take a look then... ahh, you have some small internal contusions along your right abdominal side."
Powers

Doctor Salembere is a low-level uber with X-Ray vision, which was one of the reasons he decided to go into medicine. He is also able to intuitively understand all languages which he believes is linked to his ubergene, although it is not conclusive.
Appearance

Salembere is a charismatic man with an excellent bedside manner. He wears his medical coat over a black turtleneck t-shirt, worn jeans and Doc Martens. He is in his early thirties and is thin and a little clumsy in his movements, although this clumsiness vanishes in the operating theatre. He has said that the clumsiness is his unconscious way of making others feel comfortable around him, but no one really believes it.
