History

A mystical martial arts enclave founded by Izo and led by Stick. They live apart from society in a remote wilderness location that can only be accessed by climbing "The Wall", a sheer cliff too high for the moderate human being. The climb also serves as an entrance exam. The primary function of The Chaste is to combat The Hand, a demonic shinobi cult dominated by an ancient spirit. In the story arc detailing Elektra's death and resurrection, the members of The Chaste are listed as:

• Stick - leader of The Chaste, and known for his use of the bo
• Stone - Stick's second in command, and can turn his body hard as stone with concentration. In Ultimate Daredevil and Elektra, Stone is an elderly woman who taught Elektra martial arts.
• Shaft - Uses a bow and arrow
• Claw - Uses handheld metal blades (similar to Wolverine) in combat.
• Star - Uses shuriken
• Wing - Master of levitation
• Flame - Master of pyrokinesis
