Jacob Hoff

Jacob Hoff is a former chemist living in Freeside in 2281.
==Background==
Jacob Hoff hails from the New California Republic.The Courier: "Do you know anything about Bill or Jacob?"Dixon: "Yeah, man. Those cats are out of their domes addicted to my shit. They can't get enough. Pretty hilarious to watch."The Courier: "Are you trying to kill your customers?"Dixon: "Those fools are from NCR. I love seeing those squatters in agony. We were doing just fine before those shits came here and made a mess of things. We don't need NCR eggheads wandering around confusing things."(Dixon's dialogue) 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.The Courier: "Tell me about Jacob."Julie Farkas: "The Garrets hooked Jacob on chems when he was working for them. Ironic, since he used to homebrew detox chems. He's a natural chemist."(Julie Farkas' dialogue) 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.The Courier: "I helped with that addiction problem you mentioned."Julie Farkas: "I saw Jacob, but found Bill dead... His death will be a big loss for Freeside. If you need some medical supplies, come see me. With Jacob working with us, we should be able to spare a stim or fixer once a day."(Julie Farkas' dialogue)
