Rest In Peace

Rose Carling

Death In: Wolverine #98 - February 1996

Rose: "Please, Logan? Chang assures me that we would be partners... a team."
Logan: "Never been much of a team player, kid, but... after what you did for me back there... after all that I saw... I'll have to think about it. It's time for me to start changin' the way I look at the world and myself. High time."
(Logan: Path of the Warlord)

They met through Landau, Luckman and Lake - a group Logan himself describes as "a real mysterious group that specializes in all kinds o' shady stuff". Dr. Carling, a scientist and Rose's father, wanted to join LL&L - Logan was assigned to meet them and take them there. An obstical by the name of Kimora got in the way -- and years later, finally succeeded in kidnapping Dr. Carling. Rose and Logan were teamed up together by Chang (Logan's LL&L expediter at that time) to rescue him.
Rose was a bit of an enigma - she had body mass morphing abilities that she eventually lost control of. She may or may not have been a mutant though. Her father was definately from Earth and human, but Rose's mother was from another dimension - one ruled by the aforementioned Kimora. Dr. Carling had entered Kimora's realm via a device of his own invention, met and married Rose's mother there. In attempting to steal Dr. Carling's invention and knowledge for his own, Kimora killed Rose's mother - Dr. Carling and Rose fled Kimora's realm, coming back to Earth to live.
Logan: Path of the Warlord

After her father's death, Rose became a full-time LL&L operative, eventually retiring and buying O'Donnell's portion of The Princess Bar.

Rose and several other of Logan's friends were killed at the place in Madripoor that seems to be a magnet - The Princess Bar - the place originally opened by Seraph. All the bar patrons were killed with claws, but not Logan's. It was a set-up orchestrated from higher up, but pulled off by General Coy's men, Imak and Ivan (who were both outfitted with fake claws to mock the look of the real things).
