Editing Exalt (section)

==History==
===Background===
Likely a natural trigger.

===Story Start===
Was part of the Houston protectorate. [[Dauntless]] saw him being delivered by [[Strider]] alongside [[Eidolon]] and the rest of the Texans [[Battle against Leviathan|to fight Leviathan]].<ref>There was a crack, a boom, and Strider came in with a group, the teleportation contractor the PRT had been using recently.<br/><br/>Strapping Lad, Young Buck, Chronicler and Exalt were in that group.  Eidolon was head and shoulders above them all, and rose even higher as he took flight. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/03/26 Excerpt] from [[Heavens 12.none]]</ref>

===Post-[[Echidna]]===
Took over for [[Eidolon]] at Houston following the scandal.<ref name="24.4 e1"/>

With Chevalier incapacitated and Rime dead Exalt became the interim leader of the Protectorate, at least at [[Behemoth vs New Delhi|New Delhi]]. While he had issues with the plan put together by Weaver he still helped out and created a massive blast to stop Behemoth at a crucial time.<ref name="24.4 e4">Then I heard Rachel through my swarm.  A shout.  “Back!”<br/><br/>The dogs stopped, one doing so so abruptly that Rachel was nearly thrown to the ground.  Nearly touched the chain, losing a limb.<br/><br/>The Endbringer moved his hands in anticipation of a clap, and Exalt used his power.  Blades of wind, a hundred strikes in a moment, a thrust of telekinetically controlled air from across the city, rushing past Behemoth, making the Endbringer stumble.  The clap arrested.<br/><br/>Rachel held on as the wind hit her, held on as each dog turned a hundred and eighty degrees.  They passed Behemoth a second time, only this time, Rachel shouted another command.  One of the first I’d heard her give.  I knew now that it was the command for ‘up’. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/18 Excerpt] from [[Crushed 24.4]]</ref>

He stood by Weaver staying in the Protectorate given the gamble she made.

When Cauldron called a meeting to deal with the threat of [[Khonsu]], Exalt was one of the capes that Chevalier brought along to represent the protectorate.<ref name="25.5">Opposite us, Chevalier’s silhouette was unmistakable.  His cannonblade was too distinct.  Exalt stood to his left, and a cape I didn’t recognize stood to the right.  I wondered momentarily if it would count against me that I was standing here.  It hadn’t been by choice, exactly, but it wouldn’t look good that I was with the Undersiders. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/11 Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.5]]</ref>

===[[Gold Morning]]===
Survived the initial [[Oil-rig battle|engagement]].<ref>[[Interlude 28]]</ref>

After [[Doormaker]] was incapacitated Exalt and Revel were dispatched to investigate along with Vegas Dark. They were overwhelmed, knocked unconscious and their places were taken by [[Satyr]].

===Post-[[Gold Morning]]===
A cape able to use some kind of telekinetic wind was around after Gold Morning, this may have been Exalt.<ref name="e.4 e2">They landed near one of the capes on the fringes, a man standing in a construction site, with enough stuff around him that he couldn’t maneuver freely.   He was using his power to push at the ooze, a kind of telekinetic wind.  Her arrival had distracted him, and the wind had faltered.  The ooze encroached.<br><br>She extended a hand.<br><br>He glanced at the ooze, then at Bastard, and sided with her.  He took her hand, and used his power to help himself up, landing behind her.<br>[...]<br>And then the woman came to pieces.  The ice broke, and Bastard pulled himself free.<br><br>“Jesus,” the wind-man said.<br><br>Rachel was silent, watching the back of Bastard’s head.  He hadn’t reacted like he’d heard more screaming.  Was it over?<br><br>“Hey kids, are you-” the man started.  He was silenced as Bastard leaped, retracing his route to the ground.<br>[...]<br>“Okay,” Miss Militia said, sounding a little more authoritarian.  She glanced at the wind-man, who had his hands clamped to the boy’s ears.  “That’s-” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/11/12 Excerpt] from [[Teneral e.4]]</ref>
