Jacob Orden

Jacob Orden is the mayor of Covenant in 2287.

Background
Jacob Orden is the mayor of the small settlement of Covenant. In secret, his town worked with the Compound to find synths who were hiding as humans by making them take the G.O.A.T., renamed as the SAFE test, which could expose synths through a difference between synth and human psychology.

Soon before the Sole Survivor wakes up in 2287, Jacob Orden and other members of the town raided a caravan because they suspected the daughter of the caravan owner was a synth. This prompted Honest Dan to start an investigation in the town.

Other interactions
While the player character is investigating Covenant during the Human Error quest, he will deny any involvement with the Compound, or the caravan. He will even attempt to bribe the player character to stop snooping around, which can be taken with adverse affects. By hacking into Jacob's terminal in his room, one can uncover the secret relationship of the compound and Covenant. If Amelia is set free, Jacob will become hostile to the player character and, after he is dead, Covenant will allow the Sole Survivor to use the workshop, enabling it as a settlement. On the contrast, if Amelia is left locked up, speaking with Jacob also allows use of the workshop.

Appearances
Jacob Orden appears only in Fallout 4.

Bugs
The following are known cases:
 * When speaking to Jacob about any quest after obtaining Covenant as a settlement, the audio for his dialogue may be missing. This may be due to the fact that one of the player character's possible decisions at the end of Human Error results in Covenant's residents becoming hostile.
 * During the Brotherhood quest Feeding the Troops.
 * During a Minuteman radiant quest, such as Kidnapping or Raider Troubles.
 * One will be unable to choose the Y/Triangle/Up dialogue option when talking to him because it is blank and unresponsive, similar to Piper's romance bug.
 * After completing Human Error, Jacob may repeat a line from earlier about Honest Dan, despite the quest having already been completed.
