==Summary==
Jacob Gayne, better known as Jacob Goodnight, is a massive, demented serial killer. As a boy, Jacob was kept in a cage and ceremoniously tortured by his mother, a fundamentalist religious fanatic obsessed with sin and punishment. His mother raised him to be "the hand of God" and punish sinners. Four years after Officer Frank Williams shot him in the head, Jacob had been living within the walls of the abandoned Blackwell Hotel.

He is always ready to fight against pain, and as such a lead pipe to the groin was nothing compared to the suffering he had endured his entire life. He also burns himself to "purify" himself.See No Evil (novelization) Chapter 11 He continued fighting after Michael swung an axe into his knee, he ripped a spiky barb cage door off and yanked out a pigeon spike impaled into his wrist. When he came back to life, he held up a man with one hand even as a man stabbed him in the shoulder.)

Attack Potency: Wall level (A steel door is cardboard-thin and flimsy to Jacob)See No Evil (novelization) Chapter 1
Speed: Average Human with Athletic Human combat speed (Jacob killed Officer Neal Blaine "in a blur of frenzied movement" and headbutted a wall with the velocity of a jackhammer, and he caught Tye's hand before he could use his stun gun on him again. When he came back to life, he slit Tamara's throat as she attempted to run away and easily dodged Amy's attacks.)
Lifting Strength: Peak Human (Jacob can rip out a person's eyes with inhuman force, he is strong enough to dig his fingers into plaster and crush it into dust, he dragged Richie with ease, swung him around and held him up like a fish, picked Kira up with one hand and dragged her, also dragged her by her hair, lifted Hannah Anders by the throat with one hand against an elevator ceiling and threw her back down, breaking her neck and turned her head almost completely around, he embedded his hook deep under Officer Frank Williams' chin, ripping up into his throat and catching him under his jawbone to pull him up like an experienced fisherman, he applied viselike pressure to Russell's head until it was crushed, cracking the bones like an eggshell, pulled up Melissa by the hose tied around her like a mechanical winch, easily pulled apart a plywood wall, held Zoe up at arm's length and forced her cell phone down her throat, dragged her by her hair, crushed Richie's skull and snapped his neck, threw Michael several feet away into a mirror and forced open elevator doors, he forced Tye to use his stun gun on himself and pinned him to a wall by moving a massive steel safe as if it were made of feathers against his ribs, breaking them and embedding his body into the wall, lifted Margaret up and threw her into a steel rod with such impact that it ran straight through her, ripped a cage door off with his hand and pulled Kira out by her leg, cracked a wooden axe handle with his grip strength, lifted Christine and Kira up by their throats at the same time, and bent his steel plate back into place. When he came back to life, he threw Carter back with one hand and lifted him off the ground by the throat to break his neck, he dragged Holden back with ease after he hooked his leg, picked Kayla up from behind and broke her spine, pinned Will to a wall with one hand and lifted him off the floor, then crushed his hand, he lifted Seth off the floor and threw him through a bench and against a row of lockers, then lifted him overhead to throw him against shelves, threw Seth across the floor by his leg with one hand, easily lifted metal shelving off his body and choked Seth against the wall, caving it in with the latter's head, and threw him over a table)
Striking Strength: Wall level (Jacob repeatedly smashed his thick skull against a large beam in a wall until the wood splintered, he hit another wall with his head with such force that large chunks of plaster and wood caved in) he broke through a two-way mirror, punched a brass door handle off and knocked out its locking mechanism, burst through a wall to surprise the intruders, sent Christine sliding down a hallway with backhand, caved in elevator doors by slamming his body into it and broke the control panel, sliced his axe into an elevator door, kicked a dead body against wall, swung at Michael to send him reeling back, splintered doors to slivers with his axe, and sent Kira flying across the room with a punch to the chest. When he came back to life, he punched through a security door window and knocked it down, bending it, easily cracked a mirror with a punch, busted through a door to attack Will, kicked open a locked gate and busted another window open, punched his machete through a door to stab Amy and broke another door apart, tore apart a desk with his machete)
Durability: Wall level (Jacob survived getting shot in the side of the head by Officer Frank Williams, and Miles Bennell noted the bones of his skull were thicker than normal, almost inhuman in their density. The first bullet made a clean exit and had barely pierced the uncommonly thick furrow of bone that ran across his forehead, the second bullet had gone in through the right part of his frontal lobe and Bennell spent almost three hours constantly hacking, sawing and excavating his almost impenetrable skull in order to cut out a piece of damaged bone and screw in a stainless steel plate. Four years later, sharp hooks felt comforting in his calloused palm, he no-sold Kira smashing his fist with a cast iron pan, a bullet ricocheted off the metal plate in his head, he was unfazed by stun gun to his neck, Kira broke a marble toilet top over his head and Christine bent a curtain rod against his chest. When he came back to life, Seth broke a chair over him.)
Stamina: Peak Human, possibly Superhuman (Jacob has an extremely high threshold for pain)
Range: Standard Melee Range, Extended Melee Range with weapons.
Standard Equipment: Axe, chained hook, machete, electric knife
Intelligence: Average (While he is almost non-verbal, Jacob was explicitly described as intelligent and he is capable of studying his enemies and forming strategies, such as having previously fed his victims to coyotes linin window ledges with pieces of sharp glass and rusty old nails to deter escape attempts, covering his victims' cages with barbs, and he has history of stitching his own wounds. He constructed warning device to alert him when intruders are present. He knows every inch of the Blackwell Hotel, and he blocked off certain stairwells and leaving others open to sow confusion in intruders. He sent the elevator down while he snuck up on them.)
Standard Tactics: Jacob wants to eradicate sin, and his modus operandi is plucking out his victims' eyes. When he was young, his mother said to him "Every time a sinner looks at you, they eat away a part of your soul."See No Evil (novelization) Chapter 13 Hence, he keeps their eyes because he believes they have trapped his soul. She also shared the Bible verse Matthew 5:29, "If these eyes offend thee... pluck them out."See No Evil (novelization) Chapter 8 He has a shrine to Saint Lucy, a martyr whose eyes were plucked out of her head by Diocletian.See No Evil (novelization) Chapter 7 He does not kill people with tattoos of religious symbols.
Weaknesses: Jacob's thirst for blood causes him physical pain.See No Evil (novelization) Prologue He has a fear of the world seeing his soul, and he hates and fears the sun because with sunlight comes the power of detection. He is also frightened by strangers.
Notable Attacks/Techniques: One of Jacob's techniques is swinging his hook on a chain into his victim's leg and pulling them in.
