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 BOS 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 to found Jacobstown in the Mojave Wasteland. Jacob the Chemist and also Jacobstown was named after him.

Appearances
Jacob does not appear in any game (unless he is one of the unnamed paladins in Fallout). He is mentioned in Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas, where Marcus has named the settlement of Jacobstown after him.
