Jaeger Sechs is the code-name of one of the Knights of the Golden Eight.

History[]

Early History[]

Under unknown circumstances, the man who would later become Jaeger Sechs of the Knights of the Golden Eight, joined the ancient order of assassins, being trained under the Knight who previously used the title at Aragon Castle, and upon his mentor's death assumed the title.

During the course of his service among the Knights, Sechs apparently built a reputation among the group for enjoying the killing of civilians.

The Three Secret Cities[]

In mid November 2016, four days after the fourth Great Games of the Hydra, the Trismagi Hardin "Sphinx" Lancaster and the son of the soon-to-be-force-abdicated King of Underworld, Dion DeSaxe, approached the Knights to hire their services. Dion pled his case and demanded the assassination of Jack West Jr and the capture of Lily West and Alby Calvin, and once Sphinx provided the Knights the down-payment of a Greek island he owned (with the promise that Dion would grant them ownership of a few Indian states upon being officiated as the new King of Underworld), Eins, Sechs and the other Knights agreed to take on the assignment.

Sechs accompanied the rest of the Knights to Anthony "Hades" DeSaxe's New York penthouse, taking part in the assault on Saxony Tower in their attempt to fulfill their assignment.

The Knights soon deduced that Jack and his people would be heading to Venice to view a rubbing copy of the tablet of the Altar of the Cosmos, and Sechs was most likely among the group as they pursued their targets through the canals.

Soon afterwards, Eins came up with a plan to attack the relatives of Jack's teammates to force him and Lily to come to them, and Sechs was sent to collect Sphinx's other requested prize and to deal with Sky Monster's parents New Zealand. After capturing his targets, Sechs took pleasure in crucifying the elderly couple to the wall of their home and rigged up an explosives unit and camera, waiting for Eins to give him the go-ahead before detonating the device and killing his targets for the whole world to see.

Upon collecting the other "package" Sphinx had requested, Sechs returned to Aragon Castle, arriving a few hours before the rest of his comrades, and boasted to his squire of his actions in New Zealand. When his comrades returned with the captured Lily in tow, Sechs joined them as they brought Lily to face Dion and Sphinx with Alby.

Though not mentioned again, Sechs apparently survived when Jack's team attacked the Knights' base, later taking part in the Knights' assisting Sphinx as he usurped the Four Kingdoms.

The Two Lost Mountains[]

As was later revealed, when Jaeger Sechs went to kill Sky Monster's parents, he also kidnapped the second Oracle of Siwa, Alexander, on Sphinx's behalf and brought him back to Aragon Castle.

In the weeks following the conclusion of the Trial of the Cities, Jaeger Sechs and the rest of the Golden Knights assisted Sphinx as he began consolidating his newly-acquired resources from the Four Kingdoms and prepared for the Trial of the Mountains.

Sechs was presumably among among Sphinx's retinue as they invaded the Novodevichy Convent to acquire the Siren bells, and then later was among the Knights who accompanied Sphinx to the first iron mountain.

Later, Sechs was among Sphinx's forces when they arrived at the gates to the Supreme Labyrinth. Along with Sphinx and Cardinal Ricardo Mendoza, Jaegers Sechs, Seiben and Acht, as well as the Vandals, joined them as they made their way into the ancient maze.

The One Impossible Labyrinth[]

As Sphinx and his team neared the end of the First Cavern, they heard the Order of the Omega enter the Cavern, and Sphinx ordered Jaeger Sechs to blow up the bridge behind them, with the Golden Knight complying by using an explosive pack to do so.

Once they had finally reached the City-Maze, Sphinx ordered Sechs to accompany him and Mendoza as they worked to navigate their way to the Castle of the Throne of Life. As they made their way and the City-Maze rose to the surface of the Red Sea, Sechs asked why they didn't call in a helicopter to take them directly to the castle, to which Mendoza answered that only one who had properly navigated the maze could ascend the throne.

As they neared the castle's pinnacle, the trio came under fire from Omega monks using sniper rifles on a nearby tower. Sechs quickly returned fire, managing to kill one monk, but the Golden Knight was hit in the chest by the second, the force from the bullet sending Jaeger Sechs flying off of the castle and falling to his death.

Skills[]

  • Expert Combatant: As a member of the Knights of the Golden Eight, Jaeger Sechs has likely been trained in several forms of hand-to-hand combat.
  • Expert Marksman: As an accomplished assassin, Sechs is a highly skilled and accurate marksman, capable of using a variety of different firearms.
  • Explosives Expert: After capturing Sky Monster's parents, Sechs was able to rig up an explosive device in the home of Sky Monster's parents which he could remotely detonate. He was later able to quickly arm an explosives pack to destroy the bridge behind Sphinx's team to delay the Omega monks' pursuit in the Supreme Labyrinth.

Equipment[]

Weapons[]

  • MP-9 submachine pistol: As it seems to be the weapon of choice among the Knights, Sechs most likely often uses an MP-9 during assignments.
  • Explosive Pack: TBA.

Vehicles[]

  • Bombardier Global 8000: As a member of the Knights, Sechs is possibly a partial owner of a private luxury plane used to transport the team during their assignments.
  • V-22 Osprey: During the attack on Saxony Tower, Sechs and the other Knights used a pair of the tilt-rotor aircraft to assault their targets.
  • Water-Capable CL-130 Hercules: One of the many vehicles the Knights own, Sechs has access to a water-capable variant of the C-130 cargo plane, which they used to pursue Jack to and through the canals of Venice.

Trivia[]

  • During the assault on Aragon Castle, Sechs may have perished as the unnamed Knight hit by Aloysius Knight's RPG - being replaced by his squire if this were the case. Since this was not explicitly stated, this article assumes that the Jaeger Sechs who later appeared in The Two Lost Mountains and The One Impossible Labyrinth is the same man.
    • Some evidence of him being the same man comes in the third flashback in the First Cavern during The One Impossible Labyrinth, in which Sechs is noted to be the most senior Knight present, and his use of an explosive pack to destroy the bridge hints at the explosive expertise Sechs had in The Three Secret Cities.
