* BerserkButton: In order: threats to the Heterodyne, [[SkewedPriorities threats to their hats]], and slaver wasps. Jägers choose to become Jägers; according to General Goomblast, "Every one of us reached out our hands and took the Jägerdraught by choice...we serve the Heterodynes freely...and our Heterodynes have always earned that". The fact that it was a choice is extremely important to them; the thought of anyone ''not'' getting that choice makes them very, very angry.
* BizarreHumanBiology: Although initially, Jägers were all fur-covered humans with pointy teeth, with the generals as exception, [[ArtEvolution currently all Jägers are unique in appearance.]] Every Jäger gets their own combination of "goodies": multiple arms, multiple eyes, tusks, horns, barbels, color changing skin (to name a very few examples). The only common trait, and the trademark indicator of a Jäger, is a mouthful of very big, very sharp teeth. The transformation from human to Jäger is a slow and continous process, with the Jäger growing larger and more monstrous over time.
** The teeth seem to come in first: Oggie has them ten years after drinking the Jägerdraught, but it takes another sixty-four years after that for his horn to start growing in.
** Size is a good indicator of age. With the exception of Zog (the shortest general, but implied to be the oldest), the Jäger generals tower over humans, while the average Jäger tends to be more or less human-sized. The first novel puts Goomblast at four meters (twelve feet) tall, ''at least''.

There are three of them, General Zog (the most normal-looking one), one with the four-diamond-emblem fez), General Khrizhan (the one with the gold-capped tusks who seems to be in overall command) and General Goomblast (the ''freaking massive'' one with an impressive wide mouth and array of teeth).

[[quoteright:186:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sharktooth.png]]
[[caption-width-right:186:Clients vos sumting hy'd heard about vunce...]]
Protagonist of a short story set after the end of the main comic, Sharktooth is a Private Jäger, that is to say a full blown hard boilded gumshoe PI, who just so happens to a Jägermonster. He only has one rule, you can hire him, but you can't ''unhire'' him. Once he is on the case he won't stop looking, no matter what dirty secrets he throws into the light or how much you beg.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Grey. He is a Jäger.
* BloodKnight: Averted, but has a very similar attitude to mysteries.
* CuteLittleFangs: Seems the source of his name.
* CluelessDetective: An ExactWords twist on one in that, apart from his SherlockScan abilities, he's actually a '''''[[EpicFail spectacularly bad one]].''''' His talent isn't actually "investigating" things, but causing enough trouble that the initial troublemakers invoke ChandlersLaw out of sheer frustration. Basically, you don't hire him to solve mysteries, you hire him to shake the situation until the culprit falls out. Hence why he can't be "unhired" -- his job's not done until all around him is nothing but chaos, panic, and disorder. [[spoiler:He actually ''sets off'' the ultraviolent MacGuffin before the case is done]].
-->'''Vanamonde''': Well, he isn't a private investigator, he's a private ''Jäger.''\\
'''Agatha''': Oh. I ''see.''\\
'''Vanamonde''': Yes, that's what the Heterodyne ''usually'' says.\\
'''Agatha''': The-you mean he's worked for us before?\\
'''Vanamonde''': According to the archives, he's worked for almost ''all'' the Heterodynes.
* DirtyCoward: Played with slightly - Unlike all other Jägers we have seen, Sharktooth hates fighting. However, when he needs to do it he is just as capable as the next Jäger.
* FriendOnTheForce: Well, sort of. He looks in on The Chief mostly to make sure he doesn't go mad.
* FunetikAksent: He's a Jäger. Makes the noir monologue seem rather interesting.
* InsistentTerminology: He's not a Private ''Investigator'', he's a Private ''Jäger''.
* ManBitesMan: The appelation "Sharktooth" is well-earned. [[spoiler:Ivo ends up defeating the villain's secret policeman henchman by biting his hand off.]]
* PragmaticHero: He doesn't like to fight not because he can't, but, according to him, "Mostly 'cauze it iz soch a beeg waste of time", and he ends up on the clock.
* PrivateEyeMonologue: Thinks in them.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Old enough to have worked for almost all of the Heterodynes, though clearly not quite old enough to become a general.
* SherlockScan: Not to the extremes of other characters with this ability, but when confronted with a crime-scene he knows how to take in the pertinent details quickly, before idiots blunder into it and ruin it.
* TheSmartGuy: At least by the typical Jäger standard. Observant, methodical and logical.
* SpannerInTheWorks: His actual method of 'investigation' is to make enough chaos surrounding his case that the players are forced out into the open.
* SuperSoldier: Not that you would know based on how he acts.

[[caption-width-right:203:"[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Never. Lost. A fight.]]"]]
An old man who runs a gourmet sandwich shop with his granddaughter. Used to run with the Jägers and put them to shame. His hat is therefore very significant to Jägers, as the more important and badass the hat's owner, the more awesome and badass the hat. As such, he has to put up with the occasional attack on him for it, often enough at least for there to be a [[RuleOfThree three tries only rule]].
----
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: {{Squick}}s his granddaughter with the tale of how he met her grandmother.
* BadassNormal: He is a human who can put Jägers to shame.
* ChefOfIron: Again, he makes gourmet sandwiches and out-fights Jägers. Often at the same time.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: He plays this...to the '''JÄGERS''', with his HatOfAuthority as the reward.
-->'''Old Man Death:''' I'm just a '''human'''. Rode with the '''Jägers'''. ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Never. Lost. A. Fight.]]''
* DramaticIrony: Tells his granddaughter that he'd be more impressed if any of the jägers he fights nowadays used cunning or stealth to steal his hat, but that it will never happen since jägers don't do subtle. Maxim's third, and successful, attempt starts with stealth (hiding in a herring barrel) and ends with him (sort of) tricking Old Man Death into giving over the hat (by ordering a sandwich that is a hat-related historical reference) and escaping quickly (by ordering the sandwich to go).
* ForegoneConclusion: It was obvious that Maxim was going to get Old Man Death's hat as soon as you saw it- while the purple hat with red trimming looked out of place on an old man in an orange shirt and an apron, it already matched Maxim's outfit perfectly. It actually looked pretty similar to his old hat, only more ornate.
* FormerTeenRebel: As was mentioned, "rode with the Jägers", i.e. was an auxiliary to the most badass and evil army in Europe. Now runs a sandwich shop.
* GracefulLoser: He's apparently fine with losing his hat, he really didn't care about it, and he tells his granddaughter "your grandmother always hated that hat".
* HashHouseLingo: He knows the ingredients of the most obscure sandwiches you can imagine. And there is apparently a story behind every one of those oddly named sandwiches. The "Red Heterodyne" (Fried bat wing with mushroom sauce on pumpernickel) apparently stemmed from the long-dead Red Heterodyne getting trapped in a cave network for several years after a raid gone bad, forcing him to live on bats and mushrooms until he could get out, by which point he'd developed a taste for them. The "Prince of Sturmhalten's Big Bet" (Hat sandwich) stemmed from Prince Viden of Sturmhalten saying that he'd eat his hat if Dante "The Good" Heterodyne could get a cathedral built in Mechanicsburg which, long story short, Dante did and so Prince Viden did.
* HatOfAuthority: Played with, his hat is nothing special and it announces no official position, but the fact that it is '''his''' makes it irresistible to the Jägers. [[spoiler: And once Maxim wins it off him, he immediately becomes the new target.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: Or at least, as noted below, he cares more about his reputation as a sandwich-maker than winning his latest fight with a Jäger.
* MemeticBadass: Among the Jägers, at least. [in-universe]
* MysteriousPast: Exactly how, why, and when he stopped marauding, moved to Mechanicsburg and set up his shop isn't clear, although he claims it was due to his meeting his princess wife-to-be: "..she sort of ''abducted'' me. Took me away from all of that, you know."
* NoodleIncident: The story behind the names of all the other sandwiches he can make, except the bat-and-mushroom "Red Heterodyne" as noted above.
* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: It's doubtful that "Old Man Death" is his given name, and the only other thing he's addressed as (by his granddaughter) is "Grandpa".
* PapaWolf: The fight with Maxim over his hat was going fine, and was fairly friendly, until Maxim tried to hit on the waitress, his granddaughter.
* ParentalSexualitySquick: He induces this in his granddaughter... who apparently misses the fact that she's technically royalty according to the story as well.
* RetiredBadass: He just wants to run his sandwhich shop these days.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Maxim forces him to choose between his reputation as a sandwich-maker and his hat. He chooses his reputation. Apparently he didn't have another hat in the store to make the sandwich with or he was unwilling or unable to leave his shop to get another one. Alternatively given that he claims to have considered just tossing the hat several times and states that his wife hated it, he may simply have seen the opportunity to get rid of it.

The female Jäger (one of only two we have met so far, the other being Mamma Gkika) who seems to be Da Boyz immediate superior officer, but who spends quite a bit of time away from them (or maybe a liaison officer, which would fit well with her sporadic appearance). She was away when Da Boyz were caught by Othar and then left again to get orders about Agatha, and has since put in sporadic appearances. Her mysteriousness, femaleness and general awesome has lead to a lot of speculation about her nature and origins.

!!Ivo Sharktooth, Private Jäger
[[quoteright:186:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sharktooth.png]]
[[caption-width-right:186:Clients vos sumting hy'd heard about vunce...]]
Protagonist of a short story set after the end of the main comic, Sharktooth is a Private Jäger, that is to say a full blown hard boilded gumshoe PI, who just so happens to a Jägermonster. He only has one rule, you can hire him, but you can't ''unhire'' him. Once he is on the case he won't stop looking, no matter what dirty secrets he throws into the light or how much you beg.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Grey. He is a Jäger.
* BloodKnight: Averted, but has a very similar attitude to mysteries.
* CuteLittleFangs: Seems the source of his name.
* CluelessDetective: An ExactWords twist on one in that, apart from his SherlockScan abilities, he's actually a '''''[[EpicFail spectacularly bad one]].''''' His talent isn't actually "investigating" things, but causing enough trouble that the initial troublemakers invoke ChandlersLaw out of sheer frustration. Basically, you don't hire him to solve mysteries, you hire him to shake the situation until the culprit falls out. Hence why he can't be "unhired" -- his job's not done until all around him is nothing but chaos, panic, and disorder. [[spoiler:He actually ''sets off'' the ultraviolent MacGuffin before the case is done]].
-->'''Vanamonde''': Well, he isn't a private investigator, he's a private ''Jäger.''\\
'''Agatha''': Oh. I ''see.''\\
'''Vanamonde''': Yes, that's what the Heterodyne ''usually'' says.\\
'''Agatha''': The-you mean he's worked for us before?\\
'''Vanamonde''': According to the archives, he's worked for almost ''all'' the Heterodynes.
* DirtyCoward: Played with slightly - Unlike all other Jägers we have seen, Sharktooth hates fighting. However, when he needs to do it he is just as capable as the next Jäger.
* FriendOnTheForce: Well, sort of. He looks in on The Chief mostly to make sure he doesn't go mad.
* FunetikAksent: He's a Jäger. Makes the noir monologue seem rather interesting.
* InsistentTerminology: He's not a Private ''Investigator'', he's a Private ''Jäger''.
* ManBitesMan: The appelation "Sharktooth" is well-earned. [[spoiler:Ivo ends up defeating the villain's secret policeman henchman by biting his hand off.]]
* PragmaticHero: He doesn't like to fight not because he can't, but, according to him, "Mostly 'cauze it iz soch a beeg waste of time", and he ends up on the clock.
* PrivateEyeMonologue: Thinks in them.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Old enough to have worked for almost all of the Heterodynes, though clearly not quite old enough to become a general.
* SherlockScan: Not to the extremes of other characters with this ability, but when confronted with a crime-scene he knows how to take in the pertinent details quickly, before idiots blunder into it and ruin it.
* TheSmartGuy: At least by the typical Jäger standard. Observant, methodical and logical.
* SpannerInTheWorks: His actual method of 'investigation' is to make enough chaos surrounding his case that the players are forced out into the open.
* SuperSoldier: Not that you would know based on how he acts.

** He undergoes a condensed {{Deconstruction}} of it though [[spoiler:while trapped in the time stasis.

* CombatPragmatist: A particularly clever version.

* GrievousHarmWithABody:
** In the first two panels he appears in, he rips a man's arm off to prevent his hand from releasing a dead man's switch. It pretty much sets the tone for the character.
** He does this with [[spoiler:Gil against Tarvek]] when subverting TalkingIsAFreeAction.

* TakeALevelInBadass: See OneWingedAngel above.
* TestedOnHumans: Played with. Any attempt to extract lifeforms from the time stasis field around Mechanicsburg results in rapid aging and death to the extractee. The Wulfenbach scientists on site have tried this repeatedly on birds and rodents, and cannot collect enough readings to analyze for any possible counteraction before the subject dies of rapid aging. Gil decides to extract Vole, since he is a Jäger and is capable of extremely long life. Gil also reasons that he'd rather not do it on an innocent person, and Vole is [[PayEvilUntoEvil far from innocent]]. The extraction process gave the scientists all the data they needed on how to extract people without causing runaway aging.
* TookALevelInKindness: See OneWingedAngel above, subversion part.
* UndyingLoyalty: Averted. Vole was kicked out of the Jägers [[spoiler:for trying to kill Bill and Barry for not being the bloodthirsty monsters the rest of the family was]].

Though Higgs implied that this newfound perspective makes him one of the candidates to be a Jäger General.]]

!!The Corps of Jägermonsters
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mammagkika_jagers.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:An army of Jägers led by General "Mamma" Gkika, rallying to their Lady.]]
Feared footsoldiers of the Heterodyne family, who drank the Jägerdraught and were transformed into their present state. Their fondness for fighting is matched only by their fondness for hats, and are recognizable by their mostly humanoid but just monstrous enough appearance, and a distinctively maintained Mechanicsburg accent.
----
* AffectionateNickname: The Jägers have taken to frequently calling their Lady Agatha "Sveethot" (IE: Sweetheart).
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Jäger skin tends to be all manner of colors.
* AmazonChaser: The more dangerous and violent a lady is, the more they'll be in luv with her. The ones on Castle Wulfenbach adore Von Pinn, no matter how violently she disembowels them.
* TheDreaded: Having served as the Heterodyne's head monsters for several hundred years, the people of Europa are not terribly fond of them. In places where the Baron's presence isn't so strong, and the memory of the old Heterodynes linger, the typical response to a Jäger is to try and kill them. Even in Wulfenbach-dominant regions, the mere implication that the Baron may send the Jägercorps to deal with an unruly vassal is often enough to pacify them.
* FunetikAksent: Deys gots the Mechanicsburg aksent. It even applies to ''sound effects'' around dem.
* TheGadfly: Most Jäger traditions are maintained to annoy people.
* GratuitousGerman: The word "Jägermonster" in German translates to English as "hunter-monster" or perhaps "infantry-monster".
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: The Jägers often had regular human auxiliaries fighting alongside them during the Old Heterodyne days, and the two considered each other close comrades-in-arms. "Riding with the Jägers" is how the old auxiliaries usually announce this membership. Though not practiced currently, a few characters were extended the same regard by true Jägers when dying or getting greivously wounded in service to Agatha: [[spoiler:Lars and Zeetha, for example]].
* HorrifyingTheHorror: Having served alongside the maddest of the madboys, it's generally a sign that if something can scare these guys, it's time to ''run''.
* IGaveMyWord: They swore to serve the Heterodynes forever, but when Bill and Barry disappeared, they signed up with the Baron, knowing it was the only way to keep them safe. A few of their kind, such as Da Boyz, were sent into the wild to keep up the search, despite knowing there was probably no chance of succeeding, just so they could say they had kept their word. [[spoiler:[[TheRightfulKingReturns And then Agatha shows up.]]]]
* InterserviceRivalry: With the Lackya, the green-eyed footmen on board Castle Wulfenbach, during the Jägercorps' time under the auspices of Baron Wulfenbach. The Jagers think they're uptight and effete ("nancy-boy feetsman"), while the Lackya don't care much for their unruly behavior. But when the Slaver Wasps come around, all nonsense is dispensed with.
* LongLived: They can last, with the proper maintenance from the Heterodyne, upward of hundreds of years.
* MadeOfIron: Side-effect of not dying of the Jägerdraught is becoming near impossible to kill. Of course, this does have the leedle problem that Jägers can be overconfident in the face of a problem, or in some cases not outright notice something's trying to kill them in the first place.
* MauveShirt: Some minor Jagers do reappear occasionally. [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030505 Zudok,]] for example, took almost a whole [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20131007 ten and a half years]] to pop up again.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: The only real moral alignment of the Jägers is "Loyal". They served the Heterodynes for centuries, and they'll serve the Heterodyne centuries more.
* NightmareFetishist: The people of Mechanicsburg consider the Jägers' inhuman features to be attractive. One of [[spoiler: Higgs's]] regrets is that [[spoiler: he]] didn't at least get the teeth.
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Horrific Abominations of Mad Science though they be, at the end of the day, Jagers are still a BadassArmy and BandOfBrothers. This also extends to anyone they deem worthy of respect, [[spoiler: As Maxim showed when he retrieved Lars' body.]]
* TheNoseKnows: They've got an astoundingly good sense of smell, capable of discerning a Heterodyne instantly.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Jägers can live a very long time; it's strongly implied that many of the Generals were among the first Jägers. Even the regular rank-and-file have a few centuries on them: Ognian has an impressive family of descendants over several generations.
* SignatureHeadgear: A Jäger without a hat might as well not ''be'' a Jäger. And there are rules about how one goes about acquiring them (gotta be a battle trophy off a worthy opponent, can't just pop into a little shop and buy one). Conversely, they'll respect someone with a nice hat, or even give one as a sign of respect (or at least, what they ''think'' is a nice hat). A good way to make them angry is to knock it off their head. They also use it as a gauge to whether or not a battle plan is a good idea: Will they lose their hat? If yes, bad plan.
* SkewedPriorities: Jägers are very protective of those hats of theirs, and a plan's general worth can be balanced on whether or not they'll still have a hat at the end of it, everything else be damned.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Most people look at Jägers and see dumb, slavering monsters. Slavering, maybe, monsters, yeah, but while most of them aren't exactly gifted in the brains department, they are by no means stupid. The Baron's attempts to dupe them and keep them away from Mechanicsburg fails because of this.
* SuperSerum: The highly toxic concoction that transformed them from mere humans into Jägers is known as the Jägerbrau. Amongst the ingredients is raw water from [[spoiler:the River Dyne's eldritch spring.]] It killed the majority of people who imbibed it, but the rest got all the wondrous Jägerperks... [[spoiler:Except Higgs who just got the super-physicality, super-durability, and immortality.]]
* SuperStrength: Jägers are capable of impressive feats of physical exertion; the Generals are in fact capable of wielding [[{{BFG}} Clank]] [[MoreDakka autocannons]].
* SuperToughness: It takes a frightening amount of bodily injury to incapacitate a Jäger.
* UndyingLoyalty: To the Heterodynes, and deys gots the oath to prove it! This started even before becoming Jägers; it has been noted that the consumption of the the Jägerbrau was always explicitly voluntary.
* WasOnceAMan: Originally human before taking the SuperSerum. Some remain more human-looking than others, like Oggie and Jenka, and [[spoiler:Higgs]] never transformed at all.

[[folder:The Jäger Generals]]
!!Generals Zog, Khrizhan, Goomblast, Koppelslav, "Mamma" Gkika and "the Spymaster"
[[quoteright:153:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/generals1.bmp]] [[quoteright:153:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/generals2.bmp]]
The leaders of the Jägermonsters. There were originally [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120514 eight of them]], however General Øsk was reported to have lost his hat and life battling the Polar Ice Lords' Doom Wyrm, leaving only seven:
1-3. "Dose three old ogres". When the story begins, they seem to act as military advisers for Klaus, and live aboard Castle Wulfenbach. There are three of them, General Zog (the most normal-looking one), General Khrizhan (the one with the gold-capped tusks who seems to be in overall command) and General Goomblast (the ''freaking massive'' one with an impressive wide mouth and array of teeth).
4. "Mamma" Gkika is [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/info/cast/cast08.php another general]], and one of only two female Jägers seen so far. In the Jägerkin's current holding pattern, she runs the Mechanicsburg bar/hospital where incapacitated Jägers wait for a Heterodyne to come along to heal them up.
5. General Koppelslav, a large red Jäger who appears in Mechanicsburg in a council of the generals after Agatha is proclaimed the new Heterodyne. Long known only as "Gargantua" since a hostile Wulfenbach soldier calls him that, before his name was finally confirmed in the fourth GG print novel.
6. General Zadipok, whereabouts unknown...
7. And a "tricky general" who is said to be [[SecretKeeper "keeper of many secret things."]] He apparently wishes to remain hidden until the Other is removed from Agatha's mind. It's finally revealed that [[spoiler:he now goes by the name Axel Higgs.]] And that [[spoiler:unique among Jäger, he's remained human-looking all these centuries.]]
----
* AlmightyJanitor: The hidden general, [[spoiler:Higgs, who has been serving in various inconspicuous positions throughout the militaries of Europa for hundreds of years.]]
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Mamma Gkika takes it a step further by having a [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120502 "fun color change-y hepidermoose [epidermis]!"]] She [[HiddenInPlainSight kept on the down low]] by staying Mechanicsburgher-colored, but now can "mek vit the pretty colors again".
* AmazonianBeauty: Mama Gkika is the only [[spoiler: publicly known]] general who is still conventionally attractive, and she ''towers'' over any normal human or non-general Jaeger.
* ArchEnemy: While the Heterodynes, and thus the Jägers, were enemies with pretty much anybody, the one enemy the generals '''hate''' is the Other's insects. [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110316 This is because]] the Jägers [[UndyingLoyalty serve of their own will]] while the slaver wasps use MindControl.
* AttackAttackAttack: [[DefiedTrope Defying]] this is part of what separates the Generals from regular Jägers. Although they still love a good fight, they also know when it's better ''not'' to.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Jäger. '''Generals'''. [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030430 Unlike their normal brothers and sisters]], it seems at least General Gkika has enough strength and constitution to [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20121119 wield]] a [[{{BFG}} Clank Gun]].
* BarBrawl: Mamma Gkika organizes one every evening to let the incapacitated Jägers in her care blow off steam. Except for Thursdays; Thursdays are Poetry Slam night.
* BigRedDevil: General Koppelslav has this look and wears SpikesOfVillainy.
* BloodKnight: Cunning old Jägers they may be, they are still Jägers and enjoy a good fight as much as any of their subordinates. However, the large difference between them and the grunts is that the Generals are not driven to the insane frenzy like the grunts are (on account of their age and wisdom) and are able to make decisions and do strategy. In fact, given what [[spoiler:Vole underwent through]], it's heavily implied that by the time they reach their age and have undergone decades or even centuries of blood lust and the emotional consequences of it, they mellow down considerably.
* CavalierCompetitor / SpiritedCompetitor: They don't hold grudges over any finished campaigns. And apparently keep kill-counts, arguing with each other over which foes did "count" and which weren't enough of a sport. Goomblast also liked the idea of CombatByChampion, though his opponents declined.
* CombatPragmatist: The Generals make a game of who can [[BodyCountCompetition score the most kills]] in a battle. General Khrizhan points out the others' cheating, not because he thinks it's unfair, but because he doesn't want to get called out for doing ''everything'' the others are doing.
* CuteMonsterGirl: Downplayed, as Mamma's definitely not a girl, but she is pretty good-looking and the most humanlike of the Generals except for [[spoiler:Higgs]], and to a lesser extent Jenka.
* DarkActionGirl: Mamma seems to be half way between this and LadyOfWar.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: They would very much enjoy working for a "fun" Heterodyne again, but even they hate MindControl enough to hear out the possibility of Agatha being the Other and would refuse to work for any Heterodyne willing to use it.
* FemmeFatalons: Seen on Mamma [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080423 here]]. And she keeps them perfectly lacquered even [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111230 when]] in "[[NonuniformUniform uniform]]".
* FourStarBadass: All of the Generals are brutally competent warriors. Four of them working together can [[CurbstompBattle utterly crush]] an entire airship of elite Wulfenbach air-assault troops.
* FunetikAksent: Being Jägers, this is to be expected.
* GentleGiant: All of the generals seem perfectly capable of being personable and making very polite conversation over a pot of tea (Zog's a bit rusty). [[spoiler:This is actually [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160902 what makes them generals.]] Jägergenerals are in fact the ''mature'' form of common Jägers; this usually takes hundreds of years, and most Jägers die before reaching it. Though almost all Jägergenerals possess unique physical characteristics, the most important difference between a Jäger and a Jäger''general'' is that a Jägergeneral is no longer ''[[BloodKnight driven]]'' to fight as a Jäger is, but only fights when they ''choose'' to, and can thus fight rationally enough to lead others in combat]]. They are, however, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20031103 still Jägers]].
* GeniusBruiser: The generals seem far more on the button as far as politics are concerned than many people, never mind Jägers. Case in point: [[spoiler:when it's revealed that Klaus plans to destroy Castle Heterodyne because Agatha's possessed by the Other, and Boris tries to deceive them into going along with it]], they ask Boris to tell them what he knows rather than killing him out of hand. Turns out their intelligence and wisdom is the result of centuries of experience. And [[spoiler:Higgs]] is a master of disguise and subterfuge, and has been [[spoiler:hiding out posing as lowly crewmen and soldiers in half of Europa's military.]]
* HiddenInPlainSight:
** This is how Mamma Gkika's remains hidden. It's underneath a much gaudier tourist trap of the same name, filled with show girls dressed up as fake jägers.
** The "sneaky" general manages to stay hidden in plain sight as well, [[spoiler:disguising himself as lowly soldiers in the various armies of Europa.]]
* HorrifyingTheHorror: Common jägers are [[SuperSoldier Super Soldiers]] in their own right, and [[BloodKnight Blood Knights]] to boot. But when the Generals start brawling among themselves, they [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20031103 run for the hills]].
** [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20121029 However]], when the [[EldritchAbomination Dreen]] show up, even the ''Generals'' run for the hills...
* ICallHerVera: Mamma Gkika's axe, "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111230 Dollink]]".
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Koppelslav sports large organic-looking [[SpikesOfVillainy shoulder-spikes]] which he can tear off and throw with deadly accuracy. It's not clear if they are part of his body or his outfit.
* LargeAndInCharge: It is implied that the Generals are amongst the oldest Jägers, and thus the gradual effects of the Jägerbrau makes them slowly get larger and more physically powerful. This confers them even greater strength, as shown by General Gkika being able to heft (and presumably fire) a Wulfenbach battle clank's autocannon (previously shown to be too much for ''three'' regular Jägers).
* LightningBruiser: At least, General Goomblast. A [[spoiler:Wulfenbach]] assault team seeing a huge Jäger General with a light fencing sword didn't realize why they should be terrified. Oh, and he also seems to be ambidextrous.
* MasterSwordsman: General Goomblast is capable of disarming his enemies such that their own (poisoned) swords impale them. [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120523 While fighting six on one]].
* TheMedic: Mamma Gikka is the person Jägers turn to if they need medical attention.
* MildlyMilitary: According to the novels, Jägers have no proper rankings or chain of command outside of the Generals, who are respected by virtue of being the oldest and strongest of their kind. It's also noted that the Generals have no clear hierarchy between themselves either.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: While standard for most Jägers, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110316 Goomblast]] takes it a bit further.
* TheNoseKnows: With Krosp not believing the Dead Olga ruse will work because Agatha smells different as {{Foreshadowing}} context, the [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050214 nonchalance over learning that Agatha is dead]] becomes this: they can smell the body isn't her, and quickly act casual over "Agatha's" loss.
* OlderAndWiser: A requirement for being a Jäger General. They're all around centuries old and while still a love good fight, they have mellowed out considerably and with age comes wisdom, including an understanding and appreciation for strategy, politics and tactics. Furthermore, it's implied that an emotional requirement is the understanding of how much being a BloodKnight can suck. In fact, given how [[spoiler:when Vole notes the horrible actions he did and Higgs remark that all of them do that and then they grow up]], that this is likely something most Jägers realize if they ever reach the age.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Koppelslav was nicknamed "Gargantua" by fans (although it was a hostile Wulfenbach soldier who called him that) until the novels revealed his real name.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Almost literally, their ages are in the neighborhood of 600-700 years. [[JustifiedTrope Apparently, this a partial requirement for being a General; after centuries of living, they are now fully matured and have a great deal of wisdom and experience to match their superhuman strength.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: They are willing to hold off formally aligning with Agatha when Boris calls them on how much upheaval it would cause at the current moment (though their main concern was Agatha's opinions on them starting a war). Once [[spoiler:Wooster tells them about the Baron's plans to kill Agatha in the interim]], Khrizhan neither accepts nor denies the accusation until getting copies of the Baron's orders. And finally, instead of killing Boris on the spot, Zog insists he tell them about Agatha being the Other first.
* SeenItAll: Par with the course, given their age. Khrizhan is only mildly surprised by [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030707 Gil's flying machine crashing into his study.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Agatha/Gil, although Zog got beaten up by Khrizhan for suggesting they push it along. They also approve of Agatha/Tarvek - a little romantic rivalry is fun for all.
** Koppelslav bets on Agatha taking ''[[{{Polyamory}} both]]''. He's certainly not the first.
* SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers: While Wulfenbach and all his minions are all treating Agatha as if she were [[TheDreaded The Other]] regardless of explanation of her [[GrandTheftMe situation]], the Jäger Generals are willing to risk it to help their [[UndyingLoyalty beloved]] returned mistress expel The Other from her head and carry the day.
* SlasherSmile: Goomblast has a mouth a shark would be envious of. Most Jäger Generals can sport one once they get in the mood. [[spoiler:Even Higgs.]]
* StrongerWithAge: After [[spoiler: Vole [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140801 artificially aged hundreds of years]]]] it seems clear that this is why the Generals look so much more mutated than regular Jägers. In fact, some of them were the first ever consumers of the "Jägerdraught".
* SuperSoldier: [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20091102 Implied]] to be among the ''first'' Jägers. [[spoiler: Higgs has explicitly confirmed that he was among the very first to undergo the process.]]
* SuperSerum:
** Mentioned as the source of change and confirmed by WordOfGod. They are humans transformed by the "Jägerdraught", a concoction that includes [[PsychoSerum raw River Dyne water]] as an ingredient. Perhaps due to advanced years causing additional mutation, side effects of repair or perhaps because they might have been in the original batch, most Generals are a LOT less human than the regular Jägers. Though if what [[spoiler: Vole]] went through is any indication, it's likely a result of growing mutations with age.
** On the other hand, apart from her aqua hair, sharp teeth and pointed ears, Mamma Gkika can almost pass for human (and in fact does, [[HiddenInPlainSight hiding in plain sight]] among her human showgirls who dress up as Jägers).
** And on the very far end of the spectrum, [[spoiler:Airman Higgs]] is completely indistinguishable from a human. He's not actually happy about that, he'd at least like the teeth. It does, however, lend greatly to [[spoiler:conducting espionage in the interest of House Heterodyne.]]
* SurroundedByIdiots: Khrizhan and Gkika both have moments where they display this attitude.
* TeamMom: Even part of her name; "Mamma Gkika"
* UndyingLoyalty:
** As with the rank-and-file Jägers, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110316 explicitly explained]] to be a ''choice'' on the Generals' part. They are not compelled to serve the Heterodynes; rather, every Jäger has made a conscious choice and vow to serve the Heterodynes for life - a very ''long'' life - before they drank the Jägerbrau. It's a gamble, but "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120502 de vuns]] vot ''live'' gets ''all kinds'' ov goodies", evidently including toughness and immunity to aging. So strong is their loyalty that they'll stick with the Heterodynes even when the current masters are "[[WhiteSheep boring]]". Many of the Generals are implied to be some of the first Jägermonsters.
** Of note is that the Jäger Generals consider anyone who fights for and protects a Heterodyne is just as worthy of their loyalty. [[spoiler:When Zeetha was mortally wounded fighting Zola to protect Agatha, Generals Gkika and Higgs considered it worthy enough that they [[EmergencyTransformation gave her the Jägerdraught]] and begin turning her at least partially into a Jäger in order to save her life.]]

[[folder:Jenka]]
!!Jenka, Jäger Scout/Ambassador of Mechanicsburg
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jenka_8127.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:[[labelnote:Click here to see her in more formal attire (SPOILERS)]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ambassadorjenka.png[[/labelnote]]]]
The female Jäger (one of only two we have met so far, the other being Mamma Gkika) who seems to be Da Boyz immediate superior officer, but who spends quite a bit of time away from them (or maybe a liaison officer, which would fit well with her sporadic appearance). She was away when Da Boyz were caught by Othar and then left again to get orders about Agatha, and has since put in sporadic appearances. Her mysteriousness, femaleness and general awesome has lead to a lot of speculation about her nature and origins.
----
* ActionGirl / DarkActionGirl: Hard to call exactly but it has to be one of these two.
* {{Ambadassador}}: Sometimes her duties call her to engage in more diplomatic venues. She's got [[WomenAreWiser more patience for it than her brothers-in-arms]].
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Grey skin, not that impressive but it does give us ''yet another'' choice of Jäger skin tone.
* ArrowCatch: On her first appearance, when a panicked guard shoots at her. She doesn't even flinch.
-->'''Jenka:''' [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry I forgive. Once]].
* BadassAdorable: Does not look like the super scary badass she is.
* BadassCape: She wears one that also obscures her mouth. [[spoiler:Because she actually has entirely normal teeth, thanks to Andronicus Valois [[TheToothHurts ripping out her "luffly fangs."]]]]
* BearsAreBadNews: Füst, her ursine mount. And he is awesome. She states he's a Jäger-bear, implying he too has had some of the Jäger Draught
* {{BFS}}: Her weapon of choice.
* BilingualBonus: Füst is Hungarian for 'smoke', ie her pet is Smokey the Bear. Doubles as a StealthPun
* BreastPlate: Not initially, but contrast her [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050606 first appearance]] with her [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071217 later one]].
* CoolMask: Part of her cape.
* CursedWithAwesome: She's one of only two Jägers [[spoiler:without fangs because Andronicus Valois, the first Storm King, ripped them out. This enables her to go on diplomatic missions, as she's the only Jäger capable of speaking without a lisp. She's still pissed about losing her fangs, though]].
* CuteMonsterGirl: What we can see of her anyway. Later confirmed during the [[spoiler: Paris]] arc when we see her with her mask off.
* DropInCharacter: Shows up every once in a while, with very little warning of her appearance.
* FunetikAksent: Her accent is often noticeably less pronounced than the other Jägers. For example, while she says "is" as "iz" like any other Jäger, she often says "you" normally instead of "hyu". Given that Da Boyz are/were a roaming band of Jägers on special assignment, and are now sticking close to Agatha (in both cases, not part of a larger Jäger group), it's entirely plausible that Jenka often has to travel through hostile territory to meet up with them. A less-pronounced accent may help in staying unnoticed if necessary. Confirmed when she shows up in [[spoiler: Paris]] disguised as a (more or less) regular human. She serves in many ways and therefore must wear many faces. It helps that she can speak without a lisp because [[spoiler:Andronicus Valois, the first Storm King, ripped out her fangs]] -- though she's really rather mad about that.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: She [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050606 rides]] a war-''bear'', [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070326 Füst]]; it's implied at one point that he may have also taken a dose of the Jäger-draught.
* ManOfAThousandFaces: It's all but stated she's this when Agatha meets her again in Paris after the TimeSkip, which led to her being, among other things, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20151214 the official head diplomat for Mechanicsburg.]] Though it's never made entirely clear if it's a Jäger ability, or she's just good with disguises.
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: She is in charge of Da Boyz, and the Jägers are pretty big on AsskickingLeadsToLeadership. This is also demonstrated in the fight with [[spoiler:Andronicus Valois, the first Storm King]]; he hates Da Boyz, but he's actually scared of Jenka.
* PraetorianGuard: Apparently she used to be part of one for [[spoiler: Euphrosynia Heterodyne.]]
* PrettyInMink: When she shows up in Paris, she is wearing a rather impressive ensemble, which no longer covers her mouth, which also makes her virtually unrecognizable to Agatha.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: No actual word on her age, but she seems to have seniority over Da Boyz, and by human standards they are ''old''. [[spoiler:She's also old enough that ''she knew Andronicus Valois personally'', and was apparently Euphrosynia's "retainer" of some description.]]
* ShipTease: At the underground Paris party, she makes Dimo dress up nice and then calls him "darling." It's hard to tell if this means they have a relationship, or if she was just needling him.
* StealthHiBye: Unlike most Jägerkin, she understands the need to be "soobtle".
* SuperSoldier: Again, Jäger.
* TheToothHurts: [[spoiler:Andronicus Valois]] ripped out her [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170419 "luffly fangs."]] She's still pissed about it hundreds of years later, though it makes it easier for her to pass off as ''not'' a Jäger.
* UndyingLoyalty: By now, "Jägermonster" should clearly be synonymous with "Loyal to the death to the Heterodynes".
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Going by what she says to Agatha, the fact that Jenka in her guise as a Parisian socialite travels around with a Jäger-bear is seen as nothing more than "''eccentric''". And then only because most society ladies prefer little dogs.
* WomenAreWiser: She comes across as being calmer and more careful than Da Boyz.

[[folder:Jorgi]]
!!Jorgi, Strike Team Commander
[[quoteright:201:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jorgi.png]]
%% [[caption-width-right:201:some caption text]]
The Jäger who commands the forces that take over the Wulfenbach Heliolux Air Fleet as the Wulfenbach Jägers return to Mechanicsburg to serve the new Heterodyne, bringing an end to their service to the Wulfenbach empire. He also helps Tarvek rescue the Vespiary Squad that is being slain by those under the Other's control.
----
* ApatheticStudent: His father was adamant about his children being educated, and was also a philosopher whose constant speechifying about the duality and the politics of non-being as related to platonic reality drove Jorgi to join up with the Jägers. His erudite upbringing may have contributed to his being command material, however.
--> Hey- Hyu leesen to a guy like dot for fifteen years, ''hyu'' vill vant to ''burn down de vorld'', too.
* CheshireCatGrin: He frequently smiles to show off as many of his very sharp teeth as possible.
* CuteLittleFangs: When Jorgi's mouth is closed two of his lower fangs stick out a little, helping mark him as a Jäger even though he has a very human face.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Part of the reason he's around is to show what generals in waiting look like. There's a reason the generals made him a Commander. He even mentions he likes fighting in an off-handed way, dismissing it as supposedly being the most important part of being a Jaeger. [[spoiler:This reflects both Dimo's and Vole's paths to become generals.]] There's a time to fight and then there's a time to think or talk.
* FunetikAksent: Jorgi talks in the usual Jäger combination of lisp and accent.
* HiddenDepths: He is quite a bit more intelligent than the average Jäger, even easily understanding a Spark's messy notes on their experiments, and a good cook but he doesn't want his brothers to even know he's literate.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He casually starts joking with Tarvek when he can't even stand due to broken legs and a messed up shoulder. When he reveals his injuries all he really has to say about it is that it's no big deal since Jägers heal fast.
* NotAfraidToDie: When he realizes the ship he's in is about to blow up and he can't even properly crawl to escape he's entirely unfazed and urges Tarvek to hurry up, escape and be good to Agatha.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He threatens to kill Tarvek if Tarvek reveals to the horde that Jorgi can not only read, but comprehend a Spark's convoluted notes and had a very good education as a human at his father's insistence.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Not so much for Agatha and her allies but he's a Jäger with red eyes and there is a reason most of Europa is terrified of Jägers.
* SecretKeeper: Jorgi knew about Tarvek being the heir to the Storm King and Agatha having an anima of the Other in her head while those things were still meant to be private information, to Tarvek's surprise.
* ShipperOnDeck: Jorgi is cheering for Tarvek to win Agatha's affection, though he's ultimately happy with whomever his Heterodyne chooses so long as she's happy and they treat her good.
* SuperSoldier: The [[SuperSerum Jägerdraught]] gave him a HealingFactor, MadeOfIron, TheNoseKnows, OlderThanHeLooks, ProudWarriorRaceGuy, and SuperStrength.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: He treats it like it is, carrying on a conversation with Tarvek as Tarvek is trying to drag him and Ruxala out of a burning airship while they're being chased and attacked which drives Tarvek a bit mad.
* UndyingLoyalty: Loyal to the Heterodynes and ecstatic about getting to organize the Wulfenbach Jägerkin's takeover of multiple Wulfenbach airships in order to return to serving them.

[[folder:Jägers (in general)]]
!!The Corps of Jägermonsters
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mammagkika_jagers.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:An army of Jägers led by General "Mamma" Gkika, rallying to their Lady.]]
Feared footsoldiers of the Heterodyne family, who drank the Jägerdraught and were transformed into their present state. Their fondness for fighting is matched only by their fondness for hats, and are recognizable by their mostly humanoid but just monstrous enough appearance, and a distinctively maintained Mechanicsburg accent.
----
* AffectionateNickname: The Jägers have taken to frequently calling their Lady Agatha "Sveethot" (IE: Sweetheart).
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Jäger skin tends to be all manner of colors.
* AmazonChaser: The more dangerous and violent a lady is, the more they'll be in luv with her. The ones on Castle Wulfenbach adore Von Pinn, no matter how violently she disembowels them.
* TheDreaded: Having served as the Heterodyne's head monsters for several hundred years, the people of Europa are not terribly fond of them. In places where the Baron's presence isn't so strong, and the memory of the old Heterodynes linger, the typical response to a Jäger is to try and kill them. Even in Wulfenbach-dominant regions, the mere implication that the Baron may send the Jägercorps to deal with an unruly vassal is often enough to pacify them.
* FunetikAksent: Deys gots the Mechanicsburg aksent. It even applies to ''sound effects'' around dem.
* TheGadfly: Most Jäger traditions are maintained to annoy people.
* GratuitousGerman: The word "Jägermonster" in German translates to English as "hunter-monster" or perhaps "infantry-monster".
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: The Jägers often had regular human auxiliaries fighting alongside them during the Old Heterodyne days, and the two considered each other close comrades-in-arms. "Riding with the Jägers" is how the old auxiliaries usually announce this membership. Though not practiced currently, a few characters were extended the same regard by true Jägers when dying or getting greivously wounded in service to Agatha: [[spoiler:Lars and Zeetha, for example]].
* HorrifyingTheHorror: Having served alongside the maddest of the madboys, it's generally a sign that if something can scare these guys, it's time to ''run''.
* IGaveMyWord: They swore to serve the Heterodynes forever, but when Bill and Barry disappeared, they signed up with the Baron, knowing it was the only way to keep them safe. A few of their kind, such as Da Boyz, were sent into the wild to keep up the search, despite knowing there was probably no chance of succeeding, just so they could say they had kept their word. [[spoiler:[[TheRightfulKingReturns And then Agatha shows up.]]]]
* InterserviceRivalry: With the Lackya, the green-eyed footmen on board Castle Wulfenbach, during the Jägercorps' time under the auspices of Baron Wulfenbach. The Jagers think they're uptight and effete ("nancy-boy feetsman"), while the Lackya don't care much for their unruly behavior. But when the Slaver Wasps come around, all nonsense is dispensed with.
* LongLived: They can last, with the proper maintenance from the Heterodyne, upward of hundreds of years.
* MadeOfIron: Side-effect of not dying of the Jägerdraught is becoming near impossible to kill. Of course, this does have the leedle problem that Jägers can be overconfident in the face of a problem, or in some cases not outright notice something's trying to kill them in the first place.
* MauveShirt: Some minor Jagers do reappear occasionally. [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030505 Zudok,]] for example, took almost a whole [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20131007 ten and a half years]] to pop up again.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: The only real moral alignment of the Jägers is "Loyal". They served the Heterodynes for centuries, and they'll serve the Heterodyne centuries more.
* NightmareFetishist: The people of Mechanicsburg consider the Jägers' inhuman features to be attractive. One of [[spoiler: Higgs's]] regrets is that [[spoiler: he]] didn't at least get the teeth.
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Horrific Abominations of Mad Science though they be, at the end of the day, Jagers are still a BadassArmy and BandOfBrothers. This also extends to anyone they deem worthy of respect, [[spoiler: As Maxim showed when he retrieved Lars' body.]]
* TheNoseKnows: They've got an astoundingly good sense of smell, capable of discerning a Heterodyne instantly.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Jägers can live a very long time; it's strongly implied that many of the Generals were among the first Jägers. Even the regular rank-and-file have a few centuries on them: Ognian has an impressive family of descendants over several generations.
* SignatureHeadgear: A Jäger without a hat might as well not ''be'' a Jäger. And there are rules about how one goes about acquiring them (gotta be a battle trophy off a worthy opponent, can't just pop into a little shop and buy one). Conversely, they'll respect someone with a nice hat, or even give one as a sign of respect (or at least, what they ''think'' is a nice hat). A good way to make them angry is to knock it off their head. They also use it as a gauge to whether or not a battle plan is a good idea: Will they lose their hat? If yes, bad plan.
* SkewedPriorities: Jägers are very protective of those hats of theirs, and a plan's general worth can be balanced on whether or not they'll still have a hat at the end of it, everything else be damned.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Most people look at Jägers and see dumb, slavering monsters. Slavering, maybe, monsters, yeah, but while most of them aren't exactly gifted in the brains department, they are by no means stupid. The Baron's attempts to dupe them and keep them away from Mechanicsburg fails because of this.
* SuperSerum: The highly toxic concoction that transformed them from mere humans into Jägers is known as the Jägerbrau. Amongst the ingredients is raw water from [[spoiler:the River Dyne's eldritch spring.]] It killed the majority of people who imbibed it, but the rest got all the wondrous Jägerperks... [[spoiler:Except Higgs who just got the super-physicality, super-durability, and immortality.]]
* SuperStrength: Jägers are capable of impressive feats of physical exertion; the Generals are in fact capable of wielding [[{{BFG}} Clank]] [[MoreDakka autocannons]].
* SuperToughness: It takes a frightening amount of bodily injury to incapacitate a Jäger.
* UndyingLoyalty: To the Heterodynes, and deys gots the oath to prove it! This started even before becoming Jägers; it has been noted that the consumption of the the Jägerbrau was always explicitly voluntary.
* WasOnceAMan: Originally human before taking the SuperSerum. Some remain more human-looking than others, like Oggie and Jenka, and [[spoiler:Higgs]] never transformed at all.

[[folder:The Jäger Generals]]
!!Generals Zog, Khrizhan, Goomblast, Koppelslav, "Mamma" Gkika and "the Spymaster"
[[quoteright:153:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/generals1.bmp]] [[quoteright:153:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/generals2.bmp]]
The leaders of the Jägermonsters. There were originally [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120514 eight of them]], however General Øsk was reported to have lost his hat and life battling the Polar Ice Lords' Doom Wyrm, leaving only seven:
1-3. "Dose three old ogres". When the story begins, they seem to act as military advisers for Klaus, and live aboard Castle Wulfenbach. There are three of them, General Zog (the most normal-looking one), General Khrizhan (the one with the gold-capped tusks who seems to be in overall command) and General Goomblast (the ''freaking massive'' one with an impressive wide mouth and array of teeth).
4. "Mamma" Gkika is [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/info/cast/cast08.php another general]], and one of only two female Jägers seen so far. In the Jägerkin's current holding pattern, she runs the Mechanicsburg bar/hospital where incapacitated Jägers wait for a Heterodyne to come along to heal them up.
5. General Koppelslav, a large red Jäger who appears in Mechanicsburg in a council of the generals after Agatha is proclaimed the new Heterodyne. Long known only as "Gargantua" since a hostile Wulfenbach soldier calls him that, before his name was finally confirmed in the fourth GG print novel.
6. General Zadipok, whereabouts unknown...
7. And a "tricky general" who is said to be [[SecretKeeper "keeper of many secret things."]] He apparently wishes to remain hidden until the Other is removed from Agatha's mind. It's finally revealed that [[spoiler:he now goes by the name Axel Higgs.]] And that [[spoiler:unique among Jäger, he's remained human-looking all these centuries.]]
----
* AlmightyJanitor: The hidden general, [[spoiler:Higgs, who has been serving in various inconspicuous positions throughout the militaries of Europa for hundreds of years.]]
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Mamma Gkika takes it a step further by having a [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120502 "fun color change-y hepidermoose [epidermis]!"]] She [[HiddenInPlainSight kept on the down low]] by staying Mechanicsburgher-colored, but now can "mek vit the pretty colors again".
* AmazonianBeauty: Mama Gkika is the only [[spoiler: publicly known]] general who is still conventionally attractive, and she ''towers'' over any normal human or non-general Jaeger.
* ArchEnemy: While the Heterodynes, and thus the Jägers, were enemies with pretty much anybody, the one enemy the generals '''hate''' is the Other's insects. [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110316 This is because]] the Jägers [[UndyingLoyalty serve of their own will]] while the slaver wasps use MindControl.
* AttackAttackAttack: [[DefiedTrope Defying]] this is part of what separates the Generals from regular Jägers. Although they still love a good fight, they also know when it's better ''not'' to.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Jäger. '''Generals'''. [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030430 Unlike their normal brothers and sisters]], it seems at least General Gkika has enough strength and constitution to [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20121119 wield]] a [[{{BFG}} Clank Gun]].
* BarBrawl: Mamma Gkika organizes one every evening to let the incapacitated Jägers in her care blow off steam. Except for Thursdays; Thursdays are Poetry Slam night.
* BigRedDevil: General Koppelslav has this look and wears SpikesOfVillainy.
* BloodKnight: Cunning old Jägers they may be, they are still Jägers and enjoy a good fight as much as any of their subordinates. However, the large difference between them and the grunts is that the Generals are not driven to the insane frenzy like the grunts are (on account of their age and wisdom) and are able to make decisions and do strategy. In fact, given what [[spoiler:Vole underwent through]], it's heavily implied that by the time they reach their age and have undergone decades or even centuries of blood lust and the emotional consequences of it, they mellow down considerably.
* CavalierCompetitor / SpiritedCompetitor: They don't hold grudges over any finished campaigns. And apparently keep kill-counts, arguing with each other over which foes did "count" and which weren't enough of a sport. Goomblast also liked the idea of CombatByChampion, though his opponents declined.
* CombatPragmatist: The Generals make a game of who can [[BodyCountCompetition score the most kills]] in a battle. General Khrizhan points out the others' cheating, not because he thinks it's unfair, but because he doesn't want to get called out for doing ''everything'' the others are doing.
* CuteMonsterGirl: Downplayed, as Mamma's definitely not a girl, but she is pretty good-looking and the most humanlike of the Generals except for [[spoiler:Higgs]], and to a lesser extent Jenka.
* DarkActionGirl: Mamma seems to be half way between this and LadyOfWar.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: They would very much enjoy working for a "fun" Heterodyne again, but even they hate MindControl enough to hear out the possibility of Agatha being the Other and would refuse to work for any Heterodyne willing to use it.
* FemmeFatalons: Seen on Mamma [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080423 here]]. And she keeps them perfectly lacquered even [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111230 when]] in "[[NonuniformUniform uniform]]".
* FourStarBadass: All of the Generals are brutally competent warriors. Four of them working together can [[CurbstompBattle utterly crush]] an entire airship of elite Wulfenbach air-assault troops.
* FunetikAksent: Being Jägers, this is to be expected.
* GentleGiant: All of the generals seem perfectly capable of being personable and making very polite conversation over a pot of tea (Zog's a bit rusty). [[spoiler:This is actually [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160902 what makes them generals.]] Jägergenerals are in fact the ''mature'' form of common Jägers; this usually takes hundreds of years, and most Jägers die before reaching it. Though almost all Jägergenerals possess unique physical characteristics, the most important difference between a Jäger and a Jäger''general'' is that a Jägergeneral is no longer ''[[BloodKnight driven]]'' to fight as a Jäger is, but only fights when they ''choose'' to, and can thus fight rationally enough to lead others in combat]]. They are, however, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20031103 still Jägers]].
* GeniusBruiser: The generals seem far more on the button as far as politics are concerned than many people, never mind Jägers. Case in point: [[spoiler:when it's revealed that Klaus plans to destroy Castle Heterodyne because Agatha's possessed by the Other, and Boris tries to deceive them into going along with it]], they ask Boris to tell them what he knows rather than killing him out of hand. Turns out their intelligence and wisdom is the result of centuries of experience. And [[spoiler:Higgs]] is a master of disguise and subterfuge, and has been [[spoiler:hiding out posing as lowly crewmen and soldiers in half of Europa's military.]]
* HiddenInPlainSight:
** This is how Mamma Gkika's remains hidden. It's underneath a much gaudier tourist trap of the same name, filled with show girls dressed up as fake jägers.
** The "sneaky" general manages to stay hidden in plain sight as well, [[spoiler:disguising himself as lowly soldiers in the various armies of Europa.]]
* HorrifyingTheHorror: Common jägers are [[SuperSoldier Super Soldiers]] in their own right, and [[BloodKnight Blood Knights]] to boot. But when the Generals start brawling among themselves, they [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20031103 run for the hills]].
** [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20121029 However]], when the [[EldritchAbomination Dreen]] show up, even the ''Generals'' run for the hills...
* ICallHerVera: Mamma Gkika's axe, "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111230 Dollink]]".
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Koppelslav sports large organic-looking [[SpikesOfVillainy shoulder-spikes]] which he can tear off and throw with deadly accuracy. It's not clear if they are part of his body or his outfit.
* LargeAndInCharge: It is implied that the Generals are amongst the oldest Jägers, and thus the gradual effects of the Jägerbrau makes them slowly get larger and more physically powerful. This confers them even greater strength, as shown by General Gkika being able to heft (and presumably fire) a Wulfenbach battle clank's autocannon (previously shown to be too much for ''three'' regular Jägers).
* LightningBruiser: At least, General Goomblast. A [[spoiler:Wulfenbach]] assault team seeing a huge Jäger General with a light fencing sword didn't realize why they should be terrified. Oh, and he also seems to be ambidextrous.
* MasterSwordsman: General Goomblast is capable of disarming his enemies such that their own (poisoned) swords impale them. [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120523 While fighting six on one]].
* TheMedic: Mamma Gikka is the person Jägers turn to if they need medical attention.
* MildlyMilitary: According to the novels, Jägers have no proper rankings or chain of command outside of the Generals, who are respected by virtue of being the oldest and strongest of their kind. It's also noted that the Generals have no clear hierarchy between themselves either.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: While standard for most Jägers, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110316 Goomblast]] takes it a bit further.
* TheNoseKnows: With Krosp not believing the Dead Olga ruse will work because Agatha smells different as {{Foreshadowing}} context, the [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050214 nonchalance over learning that Agatha is dead]] becomes this: they can smell the body isn't her, and quickly act casual over "Agatha's" loss.
* OlderAndWiser: A requirement for being a Jäger General. They're all around centuries old and while still a love good fight, they have mellowed out considerably and with age comes wisdom, including an understanding and appreciation for strategy, politics and tactics. Furthermore, it's implied that an emotional requirement is the understanding of how much being a BloodKnight can suck. In fact, given how [[spoiler:when Vole notes the horrible actions he did and Higgs remark that all of them do that and then they grow up]], that this is likely something most Jägers realize if they ever reach the age.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Koppelslav was nicknamed "Gargantua" by fans (although it was a hostile Wulfenbach soldier who called him that) until the novels revealed his real name.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Almost literally, their ages are in the neighborhood of 600-700 years. [[JustifiedTrope Apparently, this a partial requirement for being a General; after centuries of living, they are now fully matured and have a great deal of wisdom and experience to match their superhuman strength.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: They are willing to hold off formally aligning with Agatha when Boris calls them on how much upheaval it would cause at the current moment (though their main concern was Agatha's opinions on them starting a war). Once [[spoiler:Wooster tells them about the Baron's plans to kill Agatha in the interim]], Khrizhan neither accepts nor denies the accusation until getting copies of the Baron's orders. And finally, instead of killing Boris on the spot, Zog insists he tell them about Agatha being the Other first.
* SeenItAll: Par with the course, given their age. Khrizhan is only mildly surprised by [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030707 Gil's flying machine crashing into his study.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Agatha/Gil, although Zog got beaten up by Khrizhan for suggesting they push it along. They also approve of Agatha/Tarvek - a little romantic rivalry is fun for all.
** Koppelslav bets on Agatha taking ''[[{{Polyamory}} both]]''. He's certainly not the first.
* SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers: While Wulfenbach and all his minions are all treating Agatha as if she were [[TheDreaded The Other]] regardless of explanation of her [[GrandTheftMe situation]], the Jäger Generals are willing to risk it to help their [[UndyingLoyalty beloved]] returned mistress expel The Other from her head and carry the day.
* SlasherSmile: Goomblast has a mouth a shark would be envious of. Most Jäger Generals can sport one once they get in the mood. [[spoiler:Even Higgs.]]
* StrongerWithAge: After [[spoiler: Vole [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140801 artificially aged hundreds of years]]]] it seems clear that this is why the Generals look so much more mutated than regular Jägers. In fact, some of them were the first ever consumers of the "Jägerdraught".
* SuperSoldier: [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20091102 Implied]] to be among the ''first'' Jägers. [[spoiler: Higgs has explicitly confirmed that he was among the very first to undergo the process.]]
* SuperSerum:
** Mentioned as the source of change and confirmed by WordOfGod. They are humans transformed by the "Jägerdraught", a concoction that includes [[PsychoSerum raw River Dyne water]] as an ingredient. Perhaps due to advanced years causing additional mutation, side effects of repair or perhaps because they might have been in the original batch, most Generals are a LOT less human than the regular Jägers. Though if what [[spoiler: Vole]] went through is any indication, it's likely a result of growing mutations with age.
** On the other hand, apart from her aqua hair, sharp teeth and pointed ears, Mamma Gkika can almost pass for human (and in fact does, [[HiddenInPlainSight hiding in plain sight]] among her human showgirls who dress up as Jägers).
** And on the very far end of the spectrum, [[spoiler:Airman Higgs]] is completely indistinguishable from a human. He's not actually happy about that, he'd at least like the teeth. It does, however, lend greatly to [[spoiler:conducting espionage in the interest of House Heterodyne.]]
* SurroundedByIdiots: Khrizhan and Gkika both have moments where they display this attitude.
* TeamMom: Even part of her name; "Mamma Gkika"
* UndyingLoyalty:
** As with the rank-and-file Jägers, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110316 explicitly explained]] to be a ''choice'' on the Generals' part. They are not compelled to serve the Heterodynes; rather, every Jäger has made a conscious choice and vow to serve the Heterodynes for life - a very ''long'' life - before they drank the Jägerbrau. It's a gamble, but "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120502 de vuns]] vot ''live'' gets ''all kinds'' ov goodies", evidently including toughness and immunity to aging. So strong is their loyalty that they'll stick with the Heterodynes even when the current masters are "[[WhiteSheep boring]]". Many of the Generals are implied to be some of the first Jägermonsters.
** Of note is that the Jäger Generals consider anyone who fights for and protects a Heterodyne is just as worthy of their loyalty. [[spoiler:When Zeetha was mortally wounded fighting Zola to protect Agatha, Generals Gkika and Higgs considered it worthy enough that they [[EmergencyTransformation gave her the Jägerdraught]] and begin turning her at least partially into a Jäger in order to save her life.]]

[[folder:Jenka]]
!!Jenka, Jäger Scout/Ambassador of Mechanicsburg
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jenka_8127.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:[[labelnote:Click here to see her in more formal attire (SPOILERS)]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ambassadorjenka.png[[/labelnote]]]]
The female Jäger (one of only two we have met so far, the other being Mamma Gkika) who seems to be Da Boyz immediate superior officer, but who spends quite a bit of time away from them (or maybe a liaison officer, which would fit well with her sporadic appearance). She was away when Da Boyz were caught by Othar and then left again to get orders about Agatha, and has since put in sporadic appearances. Her mysteriousness, femaleness and general awesome has lead to a lot of speculation about her nature and origins.
----
* ActionGirl / DarkActionGirl: Hard to call exactly but it has to be one of these two.
* {{Ambadassador}}: Sometimes her duties call her to engage in more diplomatic venues. She's got [[WomenAreWiser more patience for it than her brothers-in-arms]].
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Grey skin, not that impressive but it does give us ''yet another'' choice of Jäger skin tone.
* ArrowCatch: On her first appearance, when a panicked guard shoots at her. She doesn't even flinch.
-->'''Jenka:''' [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry I forgive. Once]].
* BadassAdorable: Does not look like the super scary badass she is.
* BadassCape: She wears one that also obscures her mouth. [[spoiler:Because she actually has entirely normal teeth, thanks to Andronicus Valois [[TheToothHurts ripping out her "luffly fangs."]]]]
* BearsAreBadNews: Füst, her ursine mount. And he is awesome. She states he's a Jäger-bear, implying he too has had some of the Jäger Draught
* {{BFS}}: Her weapon of choice.
* BilingualBonus: Füst is Hungarian for 'smoke', ie her pet is Smokey the Bear. Doubles as a StealthPun
* BreastPlate: Not initially, but contrast her [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050606 first appearance]] with her [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071217 later one]].
* CoolMask: Part of her cape.
* CursedWithAwesome: She's one of only two Jägers [[spoiler:without fangs because Andronicus Valois, the first Storm King, ripped them out. This enables her to go on diplomatic missions, as she's the only Jäger capable of speaking without a lisp. She's still pissed about losing her fangs, though]].
* CuteMonsterGirl: What we can see of her anyway. Later confirmed during the [[spoiler: Paris]] arc when we see her with her mask off.
* DropInCharacter: Shows up every once in a while, with very little warning of her appearance.
* FunetikAksent: Her accent is often noticeably less pronounced than the other Jägers. For example, while she says "is" as "iz" like any other Jäger, she often says "you" normally instead of "hyu". Given that Da Boyz are/were a roaming band of Jägers on special assignment, and are now sticking close to Agatha (in both cases, not part of a larger Jäger group), it's entirely plausible that Jenka often has to travel through hostile territory to meet up with them. A less-pronounced accent may help in staying unnoticed if necessary. Confirmed when she shows up in [[spoiler: Paris]] disguised as a (more or less) regular human. She serves in many ways and therefore must wear many faces. It helps that she can speak without a lisp because [[spoiler:Andronicus Valois, the first Storm King, ripped out her fangs]] -- though she's really rather mad about that.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: She [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050606 rides]] a war-''bear'', [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070326 Füst]]; it's implied at one point that he may have also taken a dose of the Jäger-draught.
* ManOfAThousandFaces: It's all but stated she's this when Agatha meets her again in Paris after the TimeSkip, which led to her being, among other things, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20151214 the official head diplomat for Mechanicsburg.]] Though it's never made entirely clear if it's a Jäger ability, or she's just good with disguises.
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: She is in charge of Da Boyz, and the Jägers are pretty big on AsskickingLeadsToLeadership. This is also demonstrated in the fight with [[spoiler:Andronicus Valois, the first Storm King]]; he hates Da Boyz, but he's actually scared of Jenka.
* PraetorianGuard: Apparently she used to be part of one for [[spoiler: Euphrosynia Heterodyne.]]
* PrettyInMink: When she shows up in Paris, she is wearing a rather impressive ensemble, which no longer covers her mouth, which also makes her virtually unrecognizable to Agatha.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: No actual word on her age, but she seems to have seniority over Da Boyz, and by human standards they are ''old''. [[spoiler:She's also old enough that ''she knew Andronicus Valois personally'', and was apparently Euphrosynia's "retainer" of some description.]]
* ShipTease: At the underground Paris party, she makes Dimo dress up nice and then calls him "darling." It's hard to tell if this means they have a relationship, or if she was just needling him.
* StealthHiBye: Unlike most Jägerkin, she understands the need to be "soobtle".
* SuperSoldier: Again, Jäger.
* TheToothHurts: [[spoiler:Andronicus Valois]] ripped out her [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170419 "luffly fangs."]] She's still pissed about it hundreds of years later, though it makes it easier for her to pass off as ''not'' a Jäger.
* UndyingLoyalty: By now, "Jägermonster" should clearly be synonymous with "Loyal to the death to the Heterodynes".
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Going by what she says to Agatha, the fact that Jenka in her guise as a Parisian socialite travels around with a Jäger-bear is seen as nothing more than "''eccentric''". And then only because most society ladies prefer little dogs.
* WomenAreWiser: She comes across as being calmer and more careful than Da Boyz.

[[folder:Jorgi]]
!!Jorgi, Strike Team Commander
[[quoteright:201:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jorgi.png]]
%% [[caption-width-right:201:some caption text]]
The Jäger who commands the forces that take over the Wulfenbach Heliolux Air Fleet as the Wulfenbach Jägers return to Mechanicsburg to serve the new Heterodyne, bringing an end to their service to the Wulfenbach empire. He also helps Tarvek rescue the Vespiary Squad that is being slain by those under the Other's control.
----
* ApatheticStudent: His father was adamant about his children being educated, and was also a philosopher whose constant speechifying about the duality and the politics of non-being as related to platonic reality drove Jorgi to join up with the Jägers. His erudite upbringing may have contributed to his being command material, however.
--> Hey- Hyu leesen to a guy like dot for fifteen years, ''hyu'' vill vant to ''burn down de vorld'', too.
* CheshireCatGrin: He frequently smiles to show off as many of his very sharp teeth as possible.
* CuteLittleFangs: When Jorgi's mouth is closed two of his lower fangs stick out a little, helping mark him as a Jäger even though he has a very human face.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Part of the reason he's around is to show what generals in waiting look like. There's a reason the generals made him a Commander. He even mentions he likes fighting in an off-handed way, dismissing it as supposedly being the most important part of being a Jaeger. [[spoiler:This reflects both Dimo's and Vole's paths to become generals.]] There's a time to fight and then there's a time to think or talk.
* FunetikAksent: Jorgi talks in the usual Jäger combination of lisp and accent.
* HiddenDepths: He is quite a bit more intelligent than the average Jäger, even easily understanding a Spark's messy notes on their experiments, and a good cook but he doesn't want his brothers to even know he's literate.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He casually starts joking with Tarvek when he can't even stand due to broken legs and a messed up shoulder. When he reveals his injuries all he really has to say about it is that it's no big deal since Jägers heal fast.
* NotAfraidToDie: When he realizes the ship he's in is about to blow up and he can't even properly crawl to escape he's entirely unfazed and urges Tarvek to hurry up, escape and be good to Agatha.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He threatens to kill Tarvek if Tarvek reveals to the horde that Jorgi can not only read, but comprehend a Spark's convoluted notes and had a very good education as a human at his father's insistence.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Not so much for Agatha and her allies but he's a Jäger with red eyes and there is a reason most of Europa is terrified of Jägers.
* SecretKeeper: Jorgi knew about Tarvek being the heir to the Storm King and Agatha having an anima of the Other in her head while those things were still meant to be private information, to Tarvek's surprise.
* ShipperOnDeck: Jorgi is cheering for Tarvek to win Agatha's affection, though he's ultimately happy with whomever his Heterodyne chooses so long as she's happy and they treat her good.
* SuperSoldier: The [[SuperSerum Jägerdraught]] gave him a HealingFactor, MadeOfIron, TheNoseKnows, OlderThanHeLooks, ProudWarriorRaceGuy, and SuperStrength.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: He treats it like it is, carrying on a conversation with Tarvek as Tarvek is trying to drag him and Ruxala out of a burning airship while they're being chased and attacked which drives Tarvek a bit mad.
* UndyingLoyalty: Loyal to the Heterodynes and ecstatic about getting to organize the Wulfenbach Jägerkin's takeover of multiple Wulfenbach airships in order to return to serving them.
