Jacob Hoff

Jacob Hoff is a former chemist living in Freeside in 2281.

Background
Jacob Hoff hails from the the New California Republic. He is a natural at chemistry, who used his talents to homebrew detox chems before he became a junkie himself while working for the Garrets. If he can kick his addiction, he has the potential to be a great asset to Freeside, and continue to create medicine and detox chems for the community.
