I'll feel sorry for the fool who opposes Lord Lion, but I'll also thank him for giving me another fool to kill...
— Commander Jaeger
Commander BL-Alpha 001, or simply Jaeger for short, was the first acting Commander of the elite Blood Legion. He served for nearly a decade and a half before the Faeran Insurrection, in which he was shot down while using his jetpack to try and reach Governor Lurin Miric in the battle between the Rebels, the Faeran Secret Police, and of course the Blood Legion itself.
He was noted for his love of battle, his thirst for violence, and his tenacity in the hunt that the Blood Legion almost constantly offered - merely for the price of absolute loyalty. His love for bloodshed made him seem star-marked to lead the legion from the moment he exhibited it. He was, in short, a true killing machine.
Pre-Resurrection[]
If you want yourself to live and all those around you in your care to die, then go join those pathetic Believers so that your foul stench can be forever gone from the Ancient's Legion!
—Darth Reign to Commander Jaeger
Created, like all of the first Blood Legion clones, on the massive carrier Terribel, BL-Alpha001 was noted for his battle-crave at a very young age. He was also commended personally by Darth Reign himself for his abilities with the powerful BL-01 Carbine.
The Warning and the Lesson[]
During his training, even in the early years, Alpha One proved that he cared for his own survival and the overall advance of the legion in the Advanced Commander Training Program, despite the heavy casualties his brutal tactics yielded in the Virtual Reality training exercises. Though he proved he could kill several in a short time when put up against the common Republic soldier regiment, he also proved that when he entered battle his mind shifted away from the well-being of his men and more towards the destruction of his enemy while keeping himself alive - something a Believer of the Sith would do instead of a True Sith.
Jaeger was therefore scorned on occasion by Darth Reign as much as he was praised. It was only with the consent of several troopers that Jaeger was given the position of Commander once he reached the age of 29. It was 50 ABY when the Blood Legion was sent to sack Kamino, Reytha, Val Rotha, and Bonadan. Jaeger proved his mettle during all of these engagements, making a personal note this time to save any man he found in a bind on the battlefield. Though this meant much of the rest of the Legion were without his aide or command, he nevertheless took all of these planets with few casualties.
Faeran Insurrection[]
Years of turmoil had engulfed Faera in a terrible civil war that had lasted for nearly five years before the Blood Legion revealed their interest in the planet as their copy-capital. Darth Reign, supreme commander of the Order of the Lionheart in Lord Lion's absence, revealed his plans for taking the planet and preparing it for Lion's arrival. After evaluating the plan of befriending either side of the skirmish and both sets of pros and cons, Reign and his commanders of the Blood Legion and New 501st Legion ordered for the Terribel to be deployed in the Faeli system immediately.
As soon as the Terribel arrived and the first ships were out of the hangars to make their way towards the surface, Reign had sent his message to the Governor offering truce in return for control of Faera. Miric refused, thus Reign sent a second message, this time to the leader of the rebels, Kibne Flain, offering truce in return for a small tribute and aid from Faera whenever requested. Flain happily agreed after being told their numbers, and the millions of the Blood Legion and New 501st Legion all clashed with the outnumbered Royal Police.
Jaeger's End[]
Commander Jaeger did his best to bring down as many officers as he could on the quickly deteriorating frontline of the governor's forces before using his jetpack to jump over the battlefield to get a better view and advantage on his prey. After several jumps, the Faerans caught on, and on his tenth jump to reach the governor himself, Jaeger was almost immediately blasted out of the sky by a well-aimed bolt from a Wookiee nearby.
The commander fell to the ground, an enraged ARC-Beta 107 blasting his way towards him. Jaeger detached his backpack as Riggs approached and gave him his last order...
Riggs... ...this is your final order from me..."
"Yes Sir?"
"Kill those bastards..."
"Yes, sir!"
"ARC-Beta 107, you are in command now.
—Commander Jaeger, ARC-Beta 107 'Riggs', and Darth Reign
Appearance[]
Alpha-001 always wore the armor afforded to him by the Ancients: the helmet with the 'C-HUD', a gray kama, BL-D1 type battle armor, and in wintry climates a bulky black cloak.
Personality[]
Noted in the Archives of the Order as being a bloodthirsty killer who was barely accepted out of the cloning program due to his violent urges, Jaeger was a ruthless and almost psychotic combatant. Out of battle, he bonded with his men as best he could, but he was never one for socialization. ARC-Beta 107 'Riggs' was his only real friend, and his most highly trusted companion in combat.
Behind the scenes[]
Commander Jaeger was made exclusively for the backstory of Resurrection: The Jedi Way. The character's armor was originally going to be used by ARC-Beta 107 'Riggs' on Star Wars: Role Play Central, but was cast aside in favor of the armor worn by the unused Commander Deviss in the films. This has become Riggs' main armor in all sites he's used, and is his appearance for The Jedi Way.
