| Description: |
Exile is a massive machine, seventeen feet tall at the shoulder and about three times as long including her array of countless tentacles. She is rather organic in appearance, walking on four legs and carrying her Sentinel-like head on a neck comprised of thick cords. Her head houses a visual array with thirty eye-like sensors that glow with red light, as well as rows of claw-like mandibles and a laser on the underside. Her tentacles extend from her back in twin rows, and end in claw-like clamps. Her dark steel plating is tarnished from age, though Exile remains fully capable of repairing herself of damage and suffers no handicaps. She is a model of Hunter-Destroyer built for speed and stealth over strength and armor, and prefers hit-and-run style attacks.
Exile possesses the ability to plug into the Matrix, and there takes on a personification form that is a much smaller and simpler version of her true form. Her number of tentacles cuts down to six, as do her eyes. She stands seven feet tall when upon her hind legs, though she usually goes about on all fours for greater speed and agility. In this state, she goes unnoticed by unAwakened humans but is visible to the Awakened and other programs and machines.

| Personality: |
It is hard to say that a machine like Exile even has emotions, despite the frequent observation of humans that usual leads to at least a partial osmosis of human-like traits. She is noted, however, for an extreme desire for self-preservation: a drive that exceeded even her loyalty to the Machine empire when the recall command went out for Machines of her make. Now, due to her failure to turn herself in for dismantling, is a rogue machine that all others attack on sight. Now she seeks to ally with Man, as being ally to one faction is better than being enemy to both.
