'''Jäger''', also colloquially referred to as '''Hessians''', were a detachment of [[Germany|German]] troops that were contracted by the [[United Kingdom|British]] to fight in the [[American Revolutionary War]]. However, they operated independently of most British protocols.

Jäger specialized in deep forest and wilderness combat, tactics and reconnaissance, as well as unconventional warfare. As such, they were regarded as an elite scouting unit, used for surveying an area ahead of a body of troops or leading the way on the front lines.

The Jäger gained a fierce reputation as fearsome warriors and reliable, disciplined troops, and they were well respected within the ranks of the [[British Army]].

==Appearance==
There were two types of Jäger located in Colonial America during the American Revolutionary War. Loyalist Jäger, found within the British Army, wore a blue coat with red trim, black boots and a tricorn hat with a red feather. Patriot Jäger, found within the Continental Army, wore a green coat with gold trim, black boots, and a metal helmet with black horsehair trim.

==Combat==
During the American Revolutionary War, Jäger were the toughest enemies in that they could not be directly attacked, counter-attacked, or thrown. Whenever [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]] attempted to do so, it would result in a parry or a retaliatory counter. The only known ways to kill them were to use the environment, lethal tools or through disarming them and repeatedly attacking the Jäger while they were vulnerable.

Jäger were not altogether common in the cities of [[Boston]] and [[New York City|New York]]; however, when Connor became [[Social Stealth#Notoriety|notorious]], they would comb the city, actively searching for him. As a guard archetype, Jäger were smarter and much more aggressive than plain British Regulars, and would employ advanced tactics and detection skills. Accompanying this, Jäger were highly agile and could chase Connor across rooftops.

In terms of weaponry, Jäger used officer's swords and flintlock pistols, and would punch and lunge their weapons in close quarters, as well as attacking from a distance. Usually, Jäger would attack in quick succession, of 3 to 4 thrusts, making it harder for them to be countered. They also carried some [[Bombs|grenades]], and would occasionally throw them during combat.

==Trivia==
*In German, Jäger means "huntsman" or "hunter".
*Oddly, despite their specialization in wilderness combat, Jäger were less common in the [[Frontier]].
*On a historical note, Jäger were a regiment of light infantry, meaning that they were not suited for melee combat; they typically acted as skirmishers. This is ironic, given their amazing in-game proficiency with swords.
*While the [[Continental Army]] had their own variant of Jäger in-game, the [[United States|American]] forces never actually hired any Hessian mercenaries during the American Revolutionary War.
**However, the Americans did give land and compensation to any Hessians who deserted the British Army.
*Jäger commanded forts that were under British control, and were required to be killed for the fort to be captured by the Continental forces.
*[[Jacob Zenger]], a recruit of Connor's and later an [[Assassins|Assassin]], was a Hessian soldier until he arrived in the British colonies of America.
*A bug sometimes appears that jäger is using a hidden blade to kill his enemy.

The '''Davenport Homestead''' was an area in {{Wiki|Massachusetts}}, [[United States]], which was originally inhabited solely by the [[Master Assassin]] [[Achilles Davenport]]. It consisted of a manor next to some extensive stables and a small town, as well as a cove where ships could dock, in which the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]] could invite people to live. From there, the inhabitants could raise income through trade and crafting.

The Homestead also held a small dock for Connors ship, the ''[[Aquila]]'', which was overseen by first mate and Assassin [[Robert Faulkner]]. Connor also collected trinkets for a sailor called [[Peg Leg]], who could be found here, in exchange for letters locating map pieces for [[William Kidd|William Kidd's]] treasure.

The Homestead was seen by some residents as their second chance, since many of them had lost their previous homes to the conflict of the [[American Revolutionary War]].

Several animals could also be hunted here, which included fox, elk, deer, beavers, raccoons, wolves, and hares.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*The Davenport Homestead contained the graves of Achilles' two family members; his wife Abigail and son Connor, who both died of typhoid fever shortly after the [[French and Indian War]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia]]'' - ''Second Edition''</ref> Achilles was also buried there, after he passed in the early 1780s.<ref name="AC3"/>
