The Exiles

The Exiles team originally consisted of Blink (Clarice Ferguson, from the Age of Apocalypse), Mimic (Calvin Rankin), Magnus Lensherr (son of Magneto and Rogue), Thunderbird (John Proudstar), Nocturne (Talia Josephine "T.J." Wagner, daughter of Nightcrawler and Scarlet Witch), and Morph.

The team has since gone through a multitude of line-ups with Morph and Blink remaining the only original Exiles.

Initially, the Exiles are employed by the Timebroker to fix broken realities.

The Tallus is a communications device, which is worn by the leader of the group in order to communicate with the Timebroker.

Through it, he would assign missions to the team and inform them of any changes, etc.

Blink wears the Tallus in the beginning, but it is later transferred to Sabretooth when Blink rebels against the Timebroker.

Mimic also wears the Tallus for a time in Blink's absence.

It is now used as a means of communication between its wearer and whomever is operating the Crystal Palace on various missions.

It has a slightly different appearance for each wearer.

For the first time ever, Sabertooth has used the Tallus to transport himself back to the Crystal Palace, without anyone on the other side recalling him.

When Magnus dies, he is replaced by Sunfire (Mariko Yashida). Sasquatch (Heather Hudson) arrives when Thunderbird becomes comatose during a battle with the world-eating Galactus.

The Exiles then discover there is a second team conscripted by the Timebroker, Weapon X, whose missions typically involve killing or maiming innocents and heroes.

The two teams join forces to rescue a group of children from a Sentinel prison camp.

However, the teams are told the second stage of the mission is to kill one of the children - David Richards (son of Rachel Summers and Franklin Richards) - who will apparently grow up to become a powerful supervillain.

Weapon X is willing to kill him, but the Exiles are not and the two teams fight until the Timebroker intervenes.

Sabretooth (of the Weapon X team) agrees to stay behind and raise David Richards himself.

The Timebroker sends Blink home after a visit to a world plagued by a variant of the Legacy Virus, since the team had repaired her personal broken chain in time and Magik (Illyana Rasputin) takes her place.

Mimic then replaces Blink as leader, gaining the Tallus.

The Exiles arrive in the main Marvel Universe (Earth-616) where they meet the X-Men after Havok's canceled wedding.

The Exiles team up with the X-Men against an evil Havok from the Mutant X universe, who shares a body with the good Havok.

After Havok is subdued, the Timebroker arrives to personally eliminate the Mutant X Havok's consciousness.

After Sunfire is killed by a Brood-infected Mimic, she is replaced by the Exiles' former teammate Blink.

During the next mission, the Exiles and Weapon X are forced to battle each other until only six remain alive.

Magik is killed by Hyperion when she attempts to switch sides and betray the Exiles.

Hyperion is eventually defeated by Blink, who teleports his own heat vision into his back, paralyzing him.

Gambit (of Weapon X) is allowed to deliver the killing blow against Hyperion with Magik's sword, which actually kills them both, leaving five Exiles alive and their mission complete.

The Exiles visit the main Marvel Universe for a second time where they are joined by Namora, who replaces Magik, and are instructed to "leave their possessions and earn their wings".

Reed Richards deduces this means they are to leave Nocturne behind (whose power involves possession) and have Beak join the Exiles, which is confirmed by the Timebroker.
