==Description==
Noel Matthews, an English stage magician, appears to be a normal man, but he has a lot of secrets. Besides the fact that he is intersex, he is both an Ace and a Joker codenamed Double Helix. Noel has been a ruthless, cold-blooded assassin for Britain's MI-7, also known as the Silver Helix. Noel's ace power of instant teleportation only works when he transforms into one of his two extremely attractive avatars: a golden-eyed male avatar during daylight hours and a silver-eyed female avatar during the night. Noel's male avatars have changed names and appearances throughout the series, but his female avatar has remained the same: a raven-haired femme fatale with pale skin named Lilith.
Double Helix was a central character in the Wild Cards trilogy in which he debuted (Wild Cards novels 18, 19 and 20) as well as the mosaic novel "Three Kings" (Wild Cards 28).
