Jaeger

A **Jaeger** /yay-gr/ is a soldier enlisted by the Jaeger Corp to keep the peace in towns and cities, serve the people, and carry out scouting missions to uncharted territories. Originally, Jaegers served under The Founder and were not an established governmental authority. However, after the Jaeger Massacre and The Founder's disappearance, they established themselves as an anti-Holder government and began persecuting all Holders regardless of their affiliation. Under Koua Moriyama, thousands of Holder deaths occurred during his rule, but was eventually overthrown by his council of Inquisitors with Kazega Eijizoyo, including his son, Jin Moriyama.

## Headquarters

The Jaeger Corp Headquarters is located in the Endex, deemed The Citadel.

## Hierarchy

Jaegers are separated into five different groups below the High Inquisitor different duties:

### Rook

A Rook is essentially a new recruit that has recently been enlisted into the Jaeger Corp. Rooks are mostly congregated near The Citadel and the surrounding city of Endex. A Rook is not permitted to leave the city of Endex unless assigned to a Jaeger with the rank of Paladin. Rooks who take this route will gain faster training and may receive an earlier promotion than other Jaegers if chosen.

### Knight

Knights are fully instated Jaegers that have completed one full year of training, or half a year if approved by a Paladin. At the rank of Knight, Jaegers are able to request alternate territories to continue their service, having their lodgings paid in full for the duration of their stay. Knights are able to work alone in their service, or be assigned to a Paladin and assist them on the overseeing of Rooks.

### Paladin

A Paladin is a Jaeger that has completed at least five years of service or has been decorated for valiant efforts in the Jaeger Corp. They are eligible to choose several Rooks to oversee and promote to Knight. Paladins, like Knights, are able to work alone in their service; however, they do not need permission to do this unless they've been requested by a Justicar.

### Justicar

A Justicar is considered an official and are able to manage the regime under them as they please, this means that they can transfer and acquire and Jaeger under them with any other Justicars, this is known as the "Rook Trade" despite including Knights and Paladins. Justicars are assigned to an Inquisitor of their choice, but can be rejected if they do not meet their requirements.

### Inquisitor

An Inquisitor is a high-ranking Jaeger official that works directly with the High Inquisitor and serving their orders to the letter. Inquisitors have higher power in governmental decisions such as territory acquisition, regime management, and initiating martial law. Only Inquisitors are able to communicate with the High Inquisitor directly, for they are also considered their bodyguards. Inquisitors are not elected, but chosen by the High Inquisitor at their discretion, but only ten Inquisitors have been chosen at a time.
