Jacob Norris

Jacob Norris (often referred to as the Welder) is one of the playable characters in BioShock 2 Multiplayer. He was the first character to be shown on the Cult of Rapture's Faces of Rapture's Civil War.
:"Jacob Norris is a stand-up guy. A gifted and innovative metallurgist, his considerable skills as a welder were essential to the construction of Rapture's physical foundations. Responding to dangerous and consistently deteriorating conditions in Rapture worksites, Jacob has become a vehement and highly vocal supporter of labor reform, and is therefore regarded as something of a hero by his peers. The onset of the civil war finds Jacob fighting for this cause as aggressively as ever."
==Story==
﻿
Jacob is a proud, do-it-yourself individual. Prior to the civil war, Norris was one of the blue-collar workers who took part in the construction of Hephaestus, but as time went on, people he knew began to "disappear", prompting Jacob to begin splicing and start a revolution. Like the other multiplayer characters, Jacob volunteered to take part in "product field testing" for Sinclair Solutions. Little did he know, by participating in the product tests, he was pushing his mind and body to the brink. It seems that by his last diary, Jacob had gone completely insane.

==Appearance==
===Before Splicing===
Jacob Norris is a working class, middle-aged man of Rapture. He wears the same welding outfit that he would use in his everyday work in the city. The ensemble consists of a light yellow shirt, taupe pants, similarly colored workman's gloves, a dark blue industrial apron, and brown shoes. The apron has two pockets, with a tool in one of them. Atop his head, he wears a dark blue bandana. His eyes are protected by a pair of welding goggles with black lenses. Norris' acetylene torch can be used as his personal melee weapon; the red and gray tanks are strapped to his back with a brown belt, and he wields the torch in his hands. Wearing the goggles and the torch is optional when selecting the player.
===After Splicing===
Jacob's participation in the Civil War took a heavy toll on both his mental and physical state. The left sleeve of his shirt is torn, he has several bandages on his arm, and his left glove is missing. His apron is torn at the base, and one of its pockets is ripped. Jacob's face shows many of the adverse effects of Splicing. His face is sagging, covering his eyes, he has a large scar on his forehead, his lower lip has swollen in size, and his teeth have yellowed. His hat has holes in it, showing baldness. The most noticeable deformity is his missing nose; covered by a piece of metal.
