== Behind the scenes ==
Jake was the Disneyland Paris ride Phantom Manor, which opened in 1992. He was seen in one of the original portraits in the Stretching Room, prior to the 2019 refurbishments, and as a corpse hanging in the cupola. The 2019 updates to the ride added four new doomed grooms to the backstory before Melanie's romance with Jake, who is dropped from the ride.
Jake's physical appearance varies greatly across his various appearances, even within Phantom Manor itself — the old Stretching Portrait depicts him as clean-shaven with a thin mustache, whereas his hanging corpse is clean-shaven. The Phantom Manor Short Film presents a take on Jake clearly based on the corpse's look, with short black hair and no mustache. In the animated webcast The Phantom Manor however, he is instead depicted with light brown hair, stubble and slight mutton-chops.
Curiously, Jake is not observed to have become a ghost in any Phantom Manor media surrounding him.
