Perspective
The Timebroker first appeared in Exiles #1, when he invited 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 the damaged realities, and hopefully, to return home safely. A team member whose home reality is repaired is immediately sent home, and replaced with someone new.[volume & issue needed]
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 super-heroic in nature, but sometimes involve assassination.[volume & issue needed]
The Timebroker also 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.[volume & issue needed]
In #53, the Exiles receive a warning: "Beware the Timebreaker. He is not what he seems." Almost immediately after, the Timebroker acts irrationally, giving orders to murder the Age of Apocalypse X-Men as well as the Exiles' Mimic. The Exiles later learn that the Timebroker is an illusory entity created by the Timebreakers to trick the Exiles and Weapon X into fixing the realities that they had damaged.[1][2]
