The '''''''''' was the personal [[Man O' War]] of [[Louis-Joseph Gaultier, Chevalier de la Vérendrye|Chevalier de la Vérendrye]] during the [[Seven Years' War]].

In 1752, shortly after [[Shay Cormac]] acquired his own [[Ships|ship]], the ''[[Morrigan]]'', Shay used his vessel to fight off several [[Schooner|schooners]] and [[Gunboat|gunboats]] attacking the '''', before returning de la Vérendrye to the Man O' War. The two ships met once more at [[Port La Joye]] in April 1752 and again at [[St. John's]] in May 1754.

In 1760, long after Shay defected to the [[Templars]], [[Achilles Davenport]] tasked de la Vérendrye to create a diversion at sea, with the hopes of delaying or even preventing Shay from following the [[Mentor]] and [[Liam O'Brien]] as they sailed for a [[Arctic Temple|nearby]] [[Isu|First Civilization]] [[Temples|Temple]]. Although the '''' was able to ambush the ''Morrigan'' in the middle of a field of icebergs and a fierce blizzard, Shay managed to disable and board the Man O' War. After a short skirmish, the Templar killed de la Vérendrye and sunk the '''' before resuming his pursuit of Achilles.

==Trivia==
*Like several other Assassin-allied ships, the ''''<nowiki/>'s name has an avian connection: the French word '''' translates to "{{Wiki|Gyrfalcon|gerfalcon}}", the largest member of the falcon genus.
**Furthermore, the gerfalcon is native to the Arctic regions of [[North America]], northern [[Europe]], and the [[Russia]]n coastline, areas similar to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''<nowiki/>'s North Atlantic map, where the '' ''could be found.
*The ''''<nowiki/>'s figurehead bore resemblance to the [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] figurehead obtained by [[Edward Kenway]] during his time in the [[Caribbean]].
*The was able to hold over 100 cannons with 12 or more being used as chase cannons.
*The Gerfault is identical to [[El Impoluto]] ([[Assassins Creed B|Assassins Creed IV]]) in terms of appearance except for coloring
*Historically, the Gerfaut was never a real ship that de la Verendrye commanded rather a frigate called the Auguste, the ship that sank in Cape Breton
