A Jaeger in Isten, wearing his pin of office.
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.
