Jaeger Seiben 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 Seiben 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.

Seiben likely took part in the Knights' mission to go after Jack West Jr, Lily West and Alby Calvin on Dion DeSaxe's behalf, and later joined Sphinx's forces as he usurped the Four Kingdoms.

The Two Lost Mountains[]

In the weeks following the conclusion of the Trial of the Cities, Jaeger Seiben 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.

Seiben 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, Seiben was among Sphinx's forces when they arrived at the gates to the Supreme Labyrinth. Along with Sphinx and Cardinal Ricardo Mendoza, Jaegers 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[]

Once they had finally reached the City-Maze, Sphinx ordered Jaegers Seiben and Acht to stay behind as he, Mendoza and Sechs worked to navigate their way to the Castle of the Throne of Life, telling them to do whatever was necessary to slow down their competitors. Eventually the Order of the Omega arrived in the City-Maze, and Seiben and Acht managed to slow their pursuers' progress over several hours before they were both eventually shot and killed by the monks.

Skills[]

  • Expert Combatant: As a member of the Knights of the Golden Eight, Jaeger Seiben has likely been trained in several forms of hand-to-hand combat.
  • Expert Marksman: As an accomplished assassin, Seiben is a highly skilled and accurate marksman, capable of using a variety of different firearms.

Equipment[]

Weapons[]

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

Trivia[]

  • Though only named as among "knights six, seven and eight" in The Two Lost Mountains, Seiben's designation wasn't confirmed until The One Impossible Labyrinth.
