Jacob Orden

Jacob Orden is a human living in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
Jacob Orden was 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 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

 * During the Brotherhood quest Feeding the Troops, when speaking to Jacob about the crops, the audio for the dialogue appears to be missing. This may be due to the fact that one of the player's possible decisions at the end of Human Error results in Covenant's residents becoming hostile.
 * When returning from later on a Minuteman quest (Kidnapped friend) the audio to his voice is missing.
