Jäger

Jäger is the Saint of Orion, his class have only been confirmed with a question mark as Silver. Jäger appeared in the first Saint Seiya movie called "Jashin Eris" were he was part of a group of revived Saints called "Ghost Five".

Background
Said to be one of the most powerful Silver Saints who served Athena with honor. But after he was killed, he held a grudge over being forgotten, and the loneliness that comes with being dead.

Story
Since the age of myths, Eris, the Goddess of Discord had been imprisoned into a Golden Apple and sentenced to remain with the apple inside the Lepreus meteor shower. Sometime in the late 1980's, the Goddess of Discord had grown tired of her imprisonment in the apple. When the meteor swarm appeared over the Earth once more, she stole the wish of a young girl called Eri, and used her body to manifest herself. But in order to restore herself completely she needed the life force of a goddess, Athena in this case. To her aid she needed warriors that would fight for her, and she thought it would be ironic to use former dead Saints that felt resentment towards Athena.

Jäger didn't hesitate to accept Eris's offer, and was soon revived with a new body to fight for the destruction of the world. Though as he faced Phoenix Ikki, he found his foe's strength to be almost equal to his. When Ikki explained the meaning of friendship the Saints had, Jäger hesitated, but still continued to fight Ikki. Jäger was interrupted when Pegasus Seiya obtained the Sagitarius Gold Cloth, and after having his strongest attack blocked by Seiya, he was defeated by him. In his last words, he confirmed that Seiya and the others really were true Saints.

With the success of the Saint Seiya franchise in both anime & manga form, a movie was proposed by Toei. Masami Kurumada participated in the production and after 3 months he contributed with the new Saints. Jäger is named after the german word for hunter, as Orion was. As the Lyra & Sagitta Cloths was created by Kurumada for the movie and later appeared in the original story, many assume the Orion Cloth will too.
