(X-Men II#106 (fb)) - For generations, Jaeger's Neo sect the Warclan lived peacefully, hidden from ordinary humanity. They relied on their abilities that had become integral to everyday survival.
(X-Men II#106 (fb) ) - Jaeger's lifemate was the Warclan's leader Domina. She was part of a line of Neo that dated back to the founding of their community. They lived together with her parents and their daughter.
(X-Men II#106 (fb) ) - When the High Evolutionary suppressed all mutant powers across Earth, the effect on the Neo community was catastrophic. Buildings and systems dependent on mutant powers failed, killing many inhabitants. Domina watched her parents, whose bloodline reached back to the community's founders, die in the devastation. Her daughter, whose powers allowed her to survive underwater indefinitely, was submerged when her powers vanished and could no longer reach the surface before drowning. Jaeger helped rescue survivors, but could do nothing for their child.
(X-Men II#106 (fb) - BTS) - The tragic events became known among the surviving Neo as 'The Harrowing'.
(X-Men II#99) - In the immediate aftermath of the Harrowing, Jaeger remained beside Domina while she carried their daughter's body through the ruins. Raging with grief and hungry for revenge, Domina called on Jaeger and the other survivors to avenge the deaths of their fellow Neo.
(X-Men II#100 - BTS) - The Warclan held the X-Men
partially responsible for the Harrowing and began to target the mutants.
(X-Men II#100) - Jaeger joined Domina and the others on a hunting expedition to take out Nightcrawler, who was working as a priest in Brooklyn's Church of St. Michael. Rax shot the X-Man during his religious studies, but he managed to teleport away. Jaeger figured he could not have gotten far, only to be chastises by Domina who reminded him the Neo could not afford assumptions. She ordered Jaeger to give chase and kill Nightcrawler and anyone he contacted. Jaeger accepted the hunt as blood repayment for the deaths suffered by his fellow Neo.
(X-Men II#100 - BTS) - Jaeger tracked Nightcrawler down while he fled to Cecilia Reyes' Brooklyn clinic.
(X-Men II#100) - Jaeger managed to taste
Nightcrawler's blood. Jaeger informed his prey that he had made his
powers his own. He then summoned a portion of Domina's energy shaping
powers, creating a fiery lariat with which he attempted to capture his
target. He found himself opposed by Cecilia Reyes who demanded to know
who he was. He only gave his title: Jaeger, adding that nothing else
mattered. Jaeger then attacked, only to find Reyes' mutant force field
powers stronger and more adaptable than expected. But he also correctly
analyzed she wasn't an experienced, trained fighter so he simply planned
to press the attack until she made a mistake. This allowed Nightcrawler
enough time to recover. He managed to initially stagger Jaeger with his
speed and agility, but Jaeger remained on his feet and eventually caught
him with a well-timed blow. Jaeger prepared to kill Nightcrawler with a
knife. Terrified that she was about to watch another person die, Cecilia
reacted instinctively. Her force field projected outward in long spikes
and impaled Jaeger, who instantly died from his wounds. (X-Men II#100) - The Warclan recovered Jaeger's body and returned it to Domina later that same night who was overwhelmed by grief and renewed fury over the loss of her lifemate.
(X-Men II#100 - BTS) - Moments after learning about Jaeger's death, the overly ambitious Rax made it known to Domina that he wanted to become the Warclan's next hunter. She dressed him down for speaking out of turn.
(X-Men II#101 - BTS) - Mad with grief, Domina ordered the Warclan to chase down Jaeger's killers.
(X-Men II#106 (fb) - BTS) - During a Neo ritual of remembrance, Domina relived all her recent tragedies including the loss of Jaeger. She admitted that Jaeger's courage and skill had been without equal, yet found herself unable to cry for him, instead she wanted to take down his killer Cecilia Reyes.
