Knight Jacob

Jacob was a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin, and later a co-founder of Broken Hills.

Background
In Summer of 2185, at high noon, Jacob and Marcus (a super mutant) crossed paths many, many miles southwest of Broken Hills and punched and shot each other for a few days. Eventually, they gave up, unable to get an advantage over the other. The two start traveling together, arguing over Master and Brotherhood doctrine and whether or not the Master could truly neurolink his biology into the Cathedral computer network. As they wandered through the wastes, they attracted a following of other refugees from the war, who believed that Marcus's strength and Jacob's power armor gave them the closest thing available to safety. In Fall of the same year, Marcus and Jacob, along with the trail of ghouls, humans, and super mutants, founded the community of Broken Hills.

In Spring of 2186, Jacob said goodbye to Marcus, and moved on for parts unknown. Marcus went on to found Jacobstown in the Mojave Wasteland. Jacob the Chemist was also named after him.

Appearances
Jacob does not appear in any game, but is mentioned in Fallout 2. In Fallout: New Vegas Marcus has named the settlement of Jacobstown after him.
