Exoristos was an exiled Amazon of Themyscira. She wandered around the world for several years.
History
Exile
Exoristos was an Amazon of some renown before her exile. She was very close to Fara, who took her friend's exile poorly. Eventually, Fara struck out into the world, seeking to return Exoristos to the isle in order to prove Exoristos' worth to Queen Hippolyta, but instead found herself infected with vampirism by Cain.
Demon Knights
She defended Al Jabr when the barkeeper refused him service. She joined the fight with her futures allies by first battling the Questing Queen's outriders then her dragons. While building defenses against the Queen, she expressed some disgust with Madame Xanadu. During this time she befriended a young girl called Audie. When the young girl showed a desire to help, Exoristos sent the young messenger over the wall guarding the town to run for help.
However, the Questing Queen had seen the girl leave the town and sent a spy to kill her. Audie's head was hung on a pike outside the town much to Exoristos' dismay. Horsewoman had seen the altercation and killed the spies and soldiers reveling in the kill but just as Exoristos congratulated her on a swift revenge Horsewoman shot her in the gut for inadvertently killing the young girl.
The Questing Queen decided to further break the moral of the Knights by giving them each a vision. Exoristos was offered her place back on Themyscira but she refused seeking some sort of redemption that the Queen had not known about. Seeing her opponent unable to be broken the Queen finally attacked the small village and with their members incapacitated or otherwise gone only Exoristos remained to defend the village. She held out until the riders of Alba Serum arrived to rescue them.
Legacy
Eventually, Exoristos would regain her honor in the eyes of the Amazons, participating in the American Revolution. In time, her sword would return to Themyscira's armory, and in turn find its way into the hands of the Amazonian princess Diana. [1]
