The Exemplars are an ancient order devoted to balancing chaotic forces in the world, and sworn to maintain the imprisonment of [[Chthon]], Elder God of Chaos.  
The '''Exemplars''' are a cryptic order of philosophers, mathematicians, and theologians dedicated to, in their own words, protecting the fabric of reality.

The Exemplars claim to be the latest generation of an order stretching back centuries, formed initially to protect this world from corruption from without. It has been implied that the previous incarnation of the order failed in their mission somehow, and the new generation has turned their attention to corruption from within. To this end, they orchestrated a plot to kidnap a number of probability manipulators and remove their abilities for the greater good.
 
  
The Exemplars are not malicious or inherently 'evil' in their actions, but believe that their goals are justified for the greater good. In their perspective, humanity wielding power over probability and chaos is equivalent to a young child with matches - the child might burn himself, but could also burn down his entire home and cause untold damage.

For some reason, when a group of the Exemplars is gathered in concentration, it becomes difficult and in some cases impossible for probability manipulators to affect the outcome of events through whatever methods they use. Even when caught by surprise, none of the Exemplars can be directly affected by [[probability manipulation|manipulations of probability]], as if they exist outside of whatever paradigm of chaos/entropy/fate that probability manipulators perceive.

Details

The Exemplars had been born from Chthon's first worshipers when it had attempted to enter the real world, no longer content to spread chaos from the place of the Elder Gods. Realising the threat Chthon posed to the world, they refused to cooperate with their fellows and disrupted the ritual, trapping Chthon within an inter-dimensional prison. The Exemplars had been tasked with keeping Chthon in his prison, hunting down the unfortunate hosts and either helping or killing them, depending on how far gone they were.

One such host, albeit an unwitting one, was Wanda Maximoff. Brought to the Exemplars by her mentor, Agatha Harkness, she was trained to control her chaos powers and was watched closely for signs of Chthon using her to break free. When this did happen in 2006, the Exemplars joined with Charles Xavier and the mansion's telepaths and together they were able to once more lock Chthon away. Wanda felt betrayed that her tie with Chthon had never been revealed to her, and this has coloured her relationship with the group since.
