==Biography==
===Background===
Nothing is known of Jacob Lee's past, but he was born on June 26th, 2278 and later became a cargo ship pilot for the United Jupiter Company. At some point, he befriended Max Barrow, and became the co-pilot of the UJC Charon. Wanting to retire, Lee agrees to do a medical supply run for the UJC from Europa to Callisto, but was aware of that the cargo was containing something else. 
===The Callisto Protocol===
While arriving to Callisto, Lee discovers the Outer Way, a "terrorist group" whom are accused of causing the massacre on Europa. The confrontation between Jacob and the group ends with the ship crashing onto the moon, resulting in Max's death. Awakening from the crash, Jacob meets Captain Leon Ferris and his security team, but is imprisoned to Black Iron on the orders of its warden Duncan Cole. In the prison, Lee is subjugated to the infusion of a CORE device by Dr. Caitlyn Mahler, but loses consciousness from the procedure. Additionally, the CORE also causes him to lose his memories of agreeing to bring the Biophage cargo to Callisto and suffer hallucinations of Barrow. 
Awaking from a nightmare, Jacob sees that Black Iron is in a midst of a breakout and meets Elias Porter, a prisoner who has been there for years. Porter promises a way out of the prison, and Jacob agrees to break him out of his cell in exchange for escape from Callisto. Though successful in freeing Porter, he is forced to defend himself from hostile inmates and mutated humans referred to as Biophages. Lee then travels to the hightower to meet up with Elias, but instead encounters Captain Ferris, but manages to evade him by having Biophages attack him. Once with Porter, Lee is informed they need to find Elias' contact, as they can hack the prison's systems to obtain a ship.
Learning that the inmate is being held in the SHU, Lee travels through the medical and maintenance wing of the prison and encounters variants of the Biophages. At the SHU, Lee discovers that the inmate is the Outer Way's leader Dani Nakamura, but the confrontation ends with Jacob being sent to waste processing from Dani's cell. Lee continues to fight against the Biophages and reunites with Elias at the habitat dome, allowing them to obtain environmental suits to protect themselves from Callisto's weather. However, an infected Captain Ferris arrives and sends the two out of the airlock into the snowstorm. Upon awakening, Lee fights his way through the storm and finds a critically injured Elias, whom thanks Jacob for helping him escape from the prison before dying.
He then encounters Dani, whom takes Elias' implant before leaving Jacob behind to reach the hanger. Continuing on foot, he fights more Biophages until being rescued by Nakamura in a snowcat. She explains her intention to find evidence of Jacob's involvement on what happened on Europa, but instead finds medical supplies. At the hanger, they are stopped from leaving by Warden Cole, which results in Lee falling into the moon's former colony. In the depths, Jacob encounters a old variant of the Biophage known as "The Blind", but manages to reunite with Dani as they explore the area. 
Reaching a dome, they discover that the United Jupiter Company were studying and experimenting on people from a alien lifeform to create Biophages. The two then encounter a fully mutated Ferris, but escape despite Dani being infected from a parasite on the elevator. Arriving at Black Iron, the two are captured by security units and returned to their cells, but Dr. Mahler releases Lee from to meet her. Confronting the doctor, Mahler explains that she wants to cure Dani from her infection and uploads Nakamura's memories to Lee via his implant. Needing the blood of the warden's alpha, Jacob and Dani head to the warden's tower but he suffers a hallucination involving Max.
In the hallucination, he learns that he was aware of the cargo containing Biophage larvae, and experiences Dani's memory of losing her sister from the Europa outbreak. Returning from Dani's memory, Lee confronts the warden, whom explains that he and a group are using the Biophage to make mankind evolve to help them survive extreme weather conditions. The warden then sends Ferris, his "alpha" to kill Jacob until he mutates into a behemoth. Jacob manages to kill Ferris and use his blood to cure Dani, but is unable to eliminate Warden Cole since it was a hologram. Wanting to atone for his actions, Lee sacrifices himself and allows Dani to leave Callisto in the only escape pod with a larvae sample. 
While in the tower, Mahler tells Lee there is another way to escape Black Iron due to the self-destruct being postponed, but he is attacked by Ferris.
===Final Transmission===
Awakening from the incident, Jacob has lost his memory of what happened but is contacted by Mahler that there is ship they can use to escape. However, she needs him to find find data drives as they contain evidence of the warden's experiments with the Biophage larvae. While traveling around Black Iron, Lee suffers from more hallucinations while also noticing slight changes of the landscape and environment. Once obtaining the drives, Jacob heads to the transport hub but is forced to fight a mutated Mahler, having become infected from one of her experiments. Upon defeating her, Lee reaches the ship, realizing that its the UJC Charon but boards it to escape.
The ending reveals that this was a dying dream of Jacob's, having been critically wounded as his body was recovered by Mahler to transmit evidence from the drives. Once done, Lee dies from his injuries as Mahler accepts her fate as Black Iron is destroyed from the self-destruct sequence.
==Trivia==
*With The Callisto Protocol being a spiritual successor to the Dead Space series, Lee's first name is tied to the latter franchise's character Isaac Clarke with the name Jacob being the son of Isaac in the Bible.
