The Gerfaut was the personal Man O' War of the Chevalier de la Vérendrye during the Seven Years' War, and the largest known vessel of the Assassin fleet.
In 1752, shortly after Shay Cormac acquired his own ship, the Morrigan, Shay used his vessel to fight off several schooners and gunboats attacking the Gerfaut, before returning 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 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 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 la Vérendrye and sunk the Gerfaut before resuming his pursuit of Achilles.
