Jaeger

Jaegers are a class of Antaran nobles in Betrayal in Antara. Named after a predatory animal which is frequently mentioned but never seen, they appear throughout the game.

Role
In Antaran politics, Jaegers are chosen from "highest of noble Houses" whose families supported Valorian before the Empire. They form the administrative staff of the Empire; manage the Imperial Palace; oversee the Shira; and monitor adherence to Imperial law.

The symbol of office for a Jaeger is a gold pin in the shape of the animal that inspired the title. Jaegers live and work throughout the Empire.
