<p>46.64.5.114: /* Trivia */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Era|ACRG}}<br /> {{Spoilerhd}}<br /> {{Stub}}<br /> The '''''Gerfaut''''' was the personal [[Man O' War]] of the [[Louis-Joseph Gaultier, Chevalier de la Vérendrye|Chevalier de la Vérendrye]] during the [[Seven Years' War]].<br /> <br /> 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 ''Gerfaut'', 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.<br /> <br /> 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 [[First Civilization]] [[Temples|temple]]. Although the ''Gerfaut'' 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 ''Gerfaut'' before resuming his pursuit of Achilles.<br /> <br /> ==Tactics==<br /> The ''Gerfaut'' mostly used its mortars and tried to deal devastating damage at long ranges. But when close it mostly used its ram and avoided using cannon fire.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *Like several other Assassin-allied ships, the ''Gerfaut''&lt;nowiki/&gt;'s name has an avian connection: the French word ''gerfaut'' translates to &quot;gerfalcon&quot;, the largest member of the falcon genus. <br /> **Furthermore, the gerfalcon is native to the arctic regions of [[North America]], northern [[Europe]], and the [[Russia|Russian]] coastline, areas similar to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''&lt;nowiki/&gt;'s North Atlantic map, where the ''Gerfaut ''could be found.<br /> ** The ''Gerfaut's ''figurehead bore a very striking similarity to the Ezio Auditore figurehead that could be gained for Edward Kenway's ''Jackdaw ''in Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag. <br /> <br /> ==Reference==<br /> *''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''<br /> [[Category:Men O' War]]<br /> [[Category:Pirate ships]]<br /> [[Category:Assassin ships]]</div>
