Jacob Hoff

Jacob Hoff is a chemist living in Freeside

Background
Originally from the New California Republic, Jacob Hoff is described as both a brilliant and natural chemist and used his knowledge to create homebrew detox chems. In Freeside, he found work at the Atomic Wrangler Casino for Francine Garret and James Garret, who ended up getting him addicted to chems. Dixon became Jacob's dealer, supplying him with chems that he states make him feel "young and strong". He says that if he had enough caps, he'd make his own chems, noting that Dixon seems sketchy and that he only buys from him so he doesn't feel sick.

His knowledge in chemistry allows him to create Stimpaks and Fixer, as well as Absinthe and Rum & Nuka.
