The Gerfaut was the personal Man O' War of Chevalier de la Vérendrye during the Seven Years' War.
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 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 where it was critically damaged after a battle with the Royal Navy.
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 nearby 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 de la Vérendrye and sunk the Gerfaut before resuming his pursuit of Achilles.
