Jacob is a fairly tall individual, being 5'11". His eyes are an extremely dark blue that glimmer brilliantly. His wavy brown hair is long and well kept, sweeping across his face and framing it. He has lots of laugh lines on his face, going along with his happy, cheerful attitude. His beard and mustache are short and well trimmed. Jake's appearance means a lot to him and he is careful to make sure that he looks good at all times. When he walks he has a little swagger that goes along with his confident attitude. His easygoing personality makes it easy for him to make friends and get along with people. Jake is not overly concerned with what he wears. He tries to find clothes that are casual. He does not want to look like a Knight, but occasionally will wear armor into battle when he thinks it will be particularly dangerous. He carries a knife in his right boot and his left boot has a hidden pistol. He carries another hidden knife in an inside pocket on his jacket and has quite a few weapons that generally hang on his belt. Most of his weapons mean little to him, but he did inherit a sword from his father, who died before he was born in a battle against a dragon. He can use almost any type of weapon with deadly accuracy, but he is not particularly fond of bows and arrows.

Jacob (Jake to his friends) gets along pretty well with almost everyone. He likes to make jokes and play around and get into mischief. Granted, when something is important he can focus on it and do what needs to be done, but at the same time he thinks that life should be lived with a smile and he tries to help everyone be happy about what they're doing, no matter what it is. He likes to play pranks on people and is frequently getting into scrapes. He can often be seen on various duties around camp (such as kitchen duty or clean-up duty, etc.) as punishments that are supposed to try and make him behave more like an adult, but none of them are ever going to work. Jake just likes to have fun, no matter the consequence.
[break][break]
Jake is a brave soul. Because he was brought up among the Knights, he knows how to fight well, but he also believes in standing up for what is right. To him, methods matter just as much as the results do and he is determined to help Excalibur in any way that he can, the right way. He is loyal to those who he believes are good people, which is why he's stayed with Excalibur all these years. He loves Elin's love for people and dragons alike, her goal to make the world a better place by helping people and he wants to be a part of that effort. He will stand behind Elin and his leaders until his last breath if necessary and he will give them his all.
[break][break]
His other loyalty is to his dragon, Balerion. Balerion is a fire dragon that has the power of Vigokinesis, which is kinetic energy manipulation. Jake is a quick study and has become quite adept at using this power. He and Balerion are independent and prefer to spend most of their time alone instead of in one another's company, but don't let that fool you. Their bond is very deep and they both care for one another, they simply have different personalities and so they keep their distance to avoid arguments. In almost exact opposition to Jake's humorous attitude, Balerion is deeply serious and committed to being productive. He doesn't appreciate Jake's pranks or playful attitude most of the time, though sometimes he admits that it is a good thing. Either way, Jake would do anything for his dragon and vice versa.
[break][break]
Lastly, Jake is resourceful. He knows how to take care of himself and how to help others, and he is committed to helping those in need at all times. He will never stand by and let someone be hurt or sad without doing his best to try and help them in whatever way that he can. His main goal in life is to help others. He loves seeing people smile and knowing that he made a difference in their lives. His greatest fears are that Excalibur will fail. That somehow they will not be able to reunite the land and bring peace to it. However, he believes that Excalibur will win, because they have the righteous cause. He will do his best to help them, no matter what the consequences may be.
[break][break]
Jacob grew up among the knights of purity. His father died in a raid on the dragons when he was a very young child. He vaguely remembers his dad being a happy man, a man who was constantly laughing and making his wife laugh. After his father died, he constantly asked his mother about him, wanting to find something between himself and his father that was similar, some way that he could find to connect himself with his father. His father had been a Knight of Purity, so it became Jake's goal to become the best Knight that he could be, in order to respect his father's sacrifice.
[break][break]
Once he was old enough, Jake joined the ranks of young children (around ten years old) that began their training to become Knights. He was an adept fighter and a charismatic young man. He quickly made friends and progressed in his training. At first he struggled with hand-to-hand combat, preferring to use a gun (he detested bow and arrows, because he could never get used to them) whenever possible. However, as the years progressed, Jake got proficient at hand-to-hand, close weaponry and guns. He never did become proficient at archery, which annoys him more than he can explain.
[break][break]
When Jake was seventeen, he returned home one day to find a Knight at his front door talking with his mother. As he approached the house, he watched as the Knight pulled out his gun and shot Jake's mother at point-blank range. Horrified at what he just saw, Jake ran to his mother and cradled her head in his lap. She gasped her last breath and her eyes closed as she faded away. Jake knew she was gone and immediately looked up at the man and asked him why he did this. The man - who Jake recognized as Sir Santiago Cabrera, a fellow comrade's father - merely smiled and said that accidents happen before he turned and strode away. Jake watched him in fury before turning to look at his mother. He knew this was no accident. He did not know why this happened, but he knew it was intentional. He saw it happen.
[break][break]
That very night, Jake dropped off his resignation at the Knights of Purity headquarters where it would be found the next morning. He gathered anything he might need and carried it out of the city, stashing it in a spot above ground where he often played as a young child. Then he went back for his mothers body. He brought her above ground and buried her before he set off. He refused to remain with a group that murdered innocent, unarmed women for no reason. He began to search for the rebel group that he heard whispers of. A group called Excalibur, a group that was considered by many Knights of Purity as their rivals. He would join them and fight against the Knights of Purity for as long as he could to honor his mother's memory. He knew his father would understand.
[break][break]
Eventually he found Excalibur. He joined them, where his fighting skills were put to good use as he helped train others so they would be prepared for a battle that he was positive would come. When he was 21, he met Balerion, and they connected and bonded almost immediately. Without knowing one another, they recognized that they were kindred spirits. Balerion had lost those close to him in a difficult manner as well. The two became as close as they could and became a force to be reckoned with.
[break][break]
Though Jake had been through a terrible ordeal and was still furious at the Knights of Purity - especially Sir Santiago - he retained his teasing attitude. He became known throughout Excalibur as a prankster and a playful spirit and was constantly looking for something new and fun to do. He was energetic and enthusiastic, always lifting the spirits of others and making jokes. He would not let his tragedy change his personality too drastically. He was trying to become the kind of man his mother and father would be proud of.
