Jaeger is an Osean Air Defense Force pilot and a member of the Strider Squadron. He is the father of Erich Jager.[1]
Biography
Early life
In 2016, Jaeger had a son, Erich Jager, who would go on to become a pilot and join the Universal Peace Enforcement Organization.[1] At some point, he joined the Osean Air Defense Force and was assigned to the Strider Squadron. He later became aware of a legend surrounding the King of the Skies.[2]
Lighthouse War
Jaeger's earliest known deployment in the Lighthouse War as part of Strider Squadron was a reconnaissance mission involving the surveillance of the Stonehenge ruins. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the squadron's return route was altered. During Operation Two Pairs, the Cyclops and Strider Squadrons passed through Yinshi Valley while being pursued by multiple MQ-99s. Jaeger was later rescued by Spare Squadron alongside the rest of the reconnaissance team and made an emergency landing at the 444th Air Base in Zapland.[3]

Personality
Jaeger is a mature, level-headed pilot with a composed disposition and a clear moral conviction. This may stem from his fatherly background.
He is known for his penchant for telling stories, as he once told the legend of a certain "King of the Skies" during Operation Siren's Song. Other stories he talked about during lull periods of the sorties he was involved in include an expository monologue of the history of Shilage, and to that extent, that of its neighboring state of Voslage and how Erusea's expansionism affected the regions during Operation Beehive. He also frequently expressed the desire to share these stories with his son back home, like the exploits of Strider 1, most notably the key roles he played in the destruction of the Arsenal Bird Justice during Operation Daredevil and the battle against the pair of advanced combat UAVs: Hugin and Munin during the Lighthouse War's final mission, Operation Hush. A notable exception to this is the raid of Shilage Castle, which was a sortie he wouldn't tell his son about.
Trivia
- Jaeger translates to "hunter" in German.
