History: Emma Frost comes from a leading Boston mercantile family which arrived from England in the early 1600s. As such, she inherited a great deal of her wealth, but most of her wealth and power was amassed on her own. Emma rose rapidly in the business world due to her savvy business sense, intelligence, stunning looks, personal charm, and, secretly, her telepathic abilities. Despite her youth, she has become the majority stockholder, chairman of the board, and chief executive officer in a multinational conglomerate, which she renamed after herself. Frost International is primarily involved in transportation, owning many oil tankers, cargo ships, and aircraft, as well as aircraft factories and shipyards the world over.
Emma has also maneuvered herself into becoming headmistress of the Massachusetts Academy, a prestigious private school outside Boston which teaches many of the children of the American elite. In this manner, Emma has positioned herself as the teacher of the next generation of business leaders and politicians.
Emma's invitation to the Hellfire Club was met with some scandal, despite her rapid success, as apparently one of her ancestors, a former White King, had been ejected from the Club for various offenses. Emma soon found an ally (and apparently a lover) in another Hellfire Club newcomer, Sebastian Shaw. The two were inducted into the Club's Inner Circle at the same time, and swiftly rose through the ranks. Recently, Shaw and Frost, at the time the Black Bishop and White Bishop, respectively, created a scandal which ousted the then-current White King, ascending to the ranks of Black King and White Queen (apparently, the Queen post was vacant).
Emma was the first to see the potential abuse in the Sentinel project being developed by SHIELD director Henry Gyrich and engineer Oliver Trask, and encouraged Shaw to arrange to develop and manufacture the Sentinels. In this way, Frost and Shaw have managed to subvert the Sentinels' programming, placing the Sentinels covertly under the Club's direction while allowing Gyrich and Trask the illusion of control.
Frost and the rest of the Hellfire Club's Inner Circle have recently come into conflict with the mutant adventurers known as the X-Men on two different occasions. These experiences have led her to the conclusion that Angel and Soulfire would make excellent proteges, provided they could be made to see things her way. In addition, she has begun a search for teenage mutants to train for her own benefit.

Uniform: Normally none, but always wears white in stylish fashions; when attending to her duties in the Hellfire Club, wears a white leather corset, white leather panties, white thigh-high boots with a four inch heel, and a white fur-lined cape.
Strength Level: Emma Frost possesses the normal human strength of a woman her age, height, and build who engages in regular exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: Emma Frost is a mutant who is one of the world's most powerful telepaths, second only to Charles Xavier. She is able to scan surface thoughts and project her thoughts into the minds of others, seemingly with no range limit. Her abilities let her probe the minds of others, rewrite short-term memories, and take total control of those around her. She is also able to project telepathic stun bolts which have no physical effects but can cause a person to feel pain or fall unconscious. With some concentration, she can also sense the signature of other psychics – mutant and otherwise – who have used their powers in her immediate vicinity.
Other Abilities: Emma Frost is highly skilled in electronics and a pioneer in the field of psychotronics.

Role-Playing Notes:
Emma Frost is cold, calculating, and ruthless, willing to do anything and control anyone to get what she wants. She maintains a friendly disposition among those she wishes to charm, but deep inside she cares nothing for anyone except herself and (maybe) Shaw, and even he is not beyond being discarded by her should she have no further use for him. She will always attempt to use her looks, charm, and telepathy before resorting to physical violence, preferring others to do her dirty work for her.
Design Notes:
1. All of the White Queen's telepathic and ESP powers are built with the power modifier of "Mutant Psionic, -10%".
