Fictional character biography
The Timebroker first appears in Exiles #1, when he invites the Age of Apocalypse version of Blink to join a group of dimension-lost superheroes whom he named "The Exiles", whose mission would be to repair damaged realities. A team member whose home reality is repaired is immediately sent home, and replaced with someone new.
To repair each damaged reality, the Exiles must complete a mission given to them by the Timebroker through a communications device called the Tallus, worn by the leader of the group. These missions are usually humanitarian or heroic in nature, but sometimes involve assassination.
The Timebroker creates a separate team of lost heroes, called Weapon X, whose job is mainly wetwork. When they grow out of control, the Timebroker orders the Exiles and Weapon X to battle each other until only six remain.
