The Chaste

The Chaste is a mystical martial arts enclave led by Stick, that was created by Frank Miller in the pages of Daredevil for Marvel Comics. The Chaste live in a remote wilderness location that can only be accessed by climbing "The Wall", a sheer cliff. The climb also serves as an entrance exam - those who fail the climb are not considered worthy. The primary function of The Chaste is to combat The Hand, an evil ninja group dominated by a demon. The Chaste's first appearance is in Daredevil #187.
