Jacob "Jak" Swanson (born January 11, 2304) is a young man who knows too much about United Colonies and House Va'runn. His unique background of Soldier reflects his parents' links with the United Colonies Military.
He has three unique traits: United Colonies Native (Jak is a holder of United Colonies passport), Kid Stuff (Jak reveals his parents: his father Thaddeus Ross Swanson and his mother Mackenzie "Kenzie" Swanson) and Serpent's Embrace (mainly due to Jak's family connections with the House Va'runn and his father's religious beliefs with the Great Serpent)
Despite the critical and commercial failure of Immortals of Aveum, Jak returns to the sci-fi world of Starfield, which is a sequel to Bethesda's Fallout 4 (Starfield is now being the part of Bethesda's Fallout universe and some of them were considered Starfield as a semi-reboot and soft-reimagining of Bethesda's Fallout series).
Sadly, Ascendant Studios had laid off their employees and staff following the critical and commercial failure of their first video game, Immortals of Aveum. But when Bethesda Games Studios released Starfield, it was seen as a major success and ushering Bethesda a new era of their video gaming industry.
In Starfield, Jak is now being a most respected figure in the United Colonies and the rest of Settled Systems.

Information
Jak's birthday is on January 11, 2304. Jak's birth name was Jacob Swanson.
Jak's confirmed birthplace was in the city of Londinion on the planet Toliman II, and he later reveals his parents, his mother Kenzie Swanson and Thaddeus Ross Swanson (hence his Kid Stuff trait), while his other two notable traits including Serpent's Embrace (having shared his father's religious faith with the House Va'runn and its supreme creator god, the Great Serpent) and a holder of the United Colonies passport (United Colonies Native).
He has a unique background of Soldier, mainly because of his family ties to the United Colonies military during the Colony War against the Freestar Collective and House Va'runn almost saved Jak and his family from the Terrormorph invasion of his birthplace of Londinion, an almost ruined city in the planet of Toliman II.
He has three unique traits: United Colonies Native (Jak is a holder of United Colonies passport), Kid Stuff (Jak reveals his parents: his father Thaddeus Ross Swanson and his mother Mackenzie "Kenzie" Swanson) and Serpent's Embrace (mainly due to Jak's family connections with the House Va'runn and his father's religious beliefs with the Great Serpent)
His father, Thaddeus Ross Swanson (born as Zoran Bakor in 2281), was a high ranking officer of the United Colonies Army and a devoted believer of the Great Serpent religion of House Va'runn, while his mother, Mackenzie "Kenzie" Swanson (born 2284) was also a United Colonies Army officer during the Colony War, and later being a senior adviser to President Alexandra Abello of the United Colonies.
His paternal aunt, Kirkan Bakor (born 2275), was a defected House Va'runn zealot to the United Colonies and a high-ranking officer of the United Colonies Navy during the Colony War with her superior, Admiral Francois Sanon. During the Colony War, Kirkan Bakor assists the defected Enclave soldiers for their role of William Coulson's overthrow of Augustus Autumn in a United Colonies-backed coup d'etat against President Autumn's government within the Great Enclave.
His maternal uncle, Devyn Swanson (born 2287), was a high-ranking Knight-Sergeant of the Brotherhood of Steel and he also played his role in supporting William Coulson's overthrow of the Great Enclave government under President Augustus Autumn in 2310, as well as his rescue mission of Jak and his parents Kenzie and Thaddeus from the deadly Terromorph invasion of the city of Londinion on the planet Toliman II, Jak's birthplace.
Jak later described the year 2310 as how the United Colonies supported the defected Great Enclave soldiers and William Swanson's military coup against the Great Enclave government under President Augustus Autumn during the Colony War. During the Colony War, Augustus Autumn's presidency of the Great Enclave was marked by his own alliance of Crimson Fleet, Freestar Collective and House Va'runn. Both his paternal aunt Kirkan Bakor and his maternal uncle Devyn Swanson helped William Coulson to overthrow the Great Enclave government of President Augustus Autumn.

Jak's life
Jacob Swanson was born on January 11, 2304 in the city of Londinion on the planet Toliman II, to Thaddeus Ross Swanson and Mackenzie "Kenzie" Swanson.
When Jak was 6 years old in 2310, William Coulson becomes the President of the Great Enclave after he staged a military coup against Augustus Autumn, which was backed by the United Colonies. Just only three days after William Coulson's coup d'etat against Augustus Autumn, a huge Terrormorph invasion of Londinion nearly kills Jak and his parents, until a group of House Va'runn faith healers and zealots teleported to revive Jak and his parents, sending Jak and his parents to New Atlantis by 2311, the year when the Colony War ends with an uneasy peace.
In 2314, Jak was recruited by the United Colonies military to show how he and his parents were survived the Terrormorph invasion of Londinion, but Jak says he and his family were resurrected and revived by the group of Va'runn faith healers and zealots. 
Jak then shared his survival story through his own diary, on how his life in Londinion became exaggerated following William Coulson's overhtrow of Augustus Autumn in a United Colonies-backed military coup against the Great Enclave's government under President Augustus Autumn, "In 2310, when William Coulson became the President of the Great Enclave after his violent coup d'etat against Augustus Autumn, I was very horrified by a Terrormorph invasion of Londinion, but I was nearly died with the Terrormorphs. Suddenly, I was getting revived by some House Va'runn youth volunteers after the Terrormorph destroyed the city of Londinion".
One of his notable mentions was the events of 2310, "In 2310, when I was 6 years old, the United Colonies helped the defected Va'runn zealot and my auntie Kirkan Bakor to stage 29-year old William Coulson's coup d'etat against Augustus Autumn, the President of the Great Enclave with his ties from House Va'runn. Ironically, the United Colonies gained independence from the Great Enclave in 2159, forming a new era for the Settled Systems and the Brotherhood of Steel (an absolute monarchy with the Supreme Elder) established its diplomatic relations with the United Colonies by 2162". It is revealed that his paternal aunt Kirkan Bakor was being responsible for helping William Coulson and his United Colonies military cohorts to overthrow the Great Enclave's government under President Augustus Autumn. 
By 2330, life has been difficult around the United Colonies, and Jak is now 26 years old and must joining both United Colonies and Ryujin Industries to embark his missions to defeat the Crimson Fleet, defending New Atlantis from Terrormorph invasion (Jak believes that the Terrormorphs was a native alien species of planet Toliman II), finding lost artifacts, and his eventual encounter with an extraterrestrial entity known as the Starborn, which includes the Emissary and the Hunter.
After Jak's conversation with Francois Sanon concerning about his war crimes and his abortive plan to create the city of Londinion, Jak later revisits his memories in Londinion, by travelling around this ruined city on the planet Toliman II, which he believes that the Terrormorphs are the native alien species of planet Toliman II. After returning to his hometown of New Atlantis, President Abello confirms that Jak's official birthplace was the city of Londinion on the planet of Toliman II.
Overall, Jak's life and legacy shapes the history of the United Colonies and House Va'runn. In Shattered Space, a forthcoming Starfield DLC, Jak tells his father about the history of House Va'runn by traveling their home planet of Va'runn'kai.

Notable events during Jak's life
-The year 2310 saw his paternal aunt Kirkan Bakor's role in assisting the United Colonies-backed military coup led by William Coulson in overthrowing the Great Enclave's government under President Augustus Autumn and the eventual Terrormorph invasion of Londinion on the planet Toliman II, in which Jak and his parents were survived when they were saved by House Va'runn volunteers and faith healers.
-For the Great Enclave, President Augustus Autumn's 43-year leadership within the Great Enclave that spanned from 2267 through 2310, was characterized by an overwhelmingly hostile relations with the United Colonies and the Brotherhood of Steel, his abuse of power, and his own political purges against the United Colonies and the Brotherhood of Steel during the Brotherhood-Enclave War (2267-2280) and the Colony War (2307-2311). Sadly, Augustus Autumn's government of the Great Enclave was violently overthrown in 2310 in a United Colonies-backed military coup led by William Coulson, who later became the Great President Enclave until his resignation in 2328 in favor of Augustus Autumn's great granddaugther Elizabeth Autumn.
-The year 2314 sees Jak's first year with the United Colonies military, revisiting his parents' memories during the Colony War. That same year, his aunt Kirkan now works as a senior technician for Ryujin Industries, an intergalactic conglomerate based in Neon City in the planet of Volii Alpha, Volii System. That same year, the Great Enclave under William Coulson's presidency sees the 28-year transition that marked the return of Great Enclave's form of democratic government that ended with the election of Elizabeth Autumn in 2328.

Behind the scenes
Jak is the main protagonist of Immortals of Aveum.
According to Ascendant Studios, the developers of Immortals of Aveum, Jak is named after Paul Jackson, a British-born video gaming studio executive who helped to establish the European branch of the Electronic Arts in the early 1990s, although EA owns its publishing rights for Immortals of Aveum.
According to Immortals of Aveum's lead designer Jason Warnke, Jak's facial appearance is modelled after Hollywood actor Dax Shepard, but with brown-hazel eyes.
In Starfield, Jak (whose his real name was Jacob "Jak" Swanson) is more obnoxious and more of a sense of hypocrisy, apart from his original counterpart in Immortals of Aveum.
Jak's preferred faction is the United Colonies, Ryujin Industries and House Va'runn. In fact, Jak's parents Kenzie and Thaddeus Ross Swanson and his paternal aunt Kirkan Bakor were the notable figures in the United Colonies military during the Colony War (earning Jak his United Colonies Native trait), as well as Kirkan's job as a senior technician at Ryujin Industries after the Colony War. As the result of Jak's unique Serpent's Embrace trait, his father Thaddeus and his paternal aunt Kirkan were also the adherents of the Great Serpent, House Va'runn's religion.
According to Bethesda Game Studios, the video game developer behind Starfield, House Va'runn is a theocratic absolute monarchy in the Settled Systems that centered on a worship on a deity, called the Great Serpent. House Va'runn's monarchs uses the title of "Supreme Leader of the House Va'runn and the Great Serpent", often shortened as "Supreme Leader". The current Supreme Leader of the House Va'runn and the Great Serpent, as of 2330, is Anasko Va'runn.
Rather than using the United Colonies-developed standard Settled Systems technology, House Va'runn uses the enhanced alien technology and the Starborn-developed military moral ethics, as Bethesda draws House Va'runn influences from Amish, Mennonite, and Zoroastrian religious beliefs and cultures. House Va'runn is often referred to many fans of Starfield and Bethesda's Fallout series as a cross between Amish and Zoroastrianism.
While Starfield was a commercial success, I will create Jak's face and his overall personality with my contents and mods for Starfield from Nexus Mods. I prefer to use the face of Dax Shepard for the Starfield's version of Jak.
