Jakub Marcin

== About ==
Jakub Marcin (full name: Jakub Andrzej Marcin; July 29th 1972 - August 13th 2045) was the first and only child of Lev Marcin. He was also known by the locals and his friends in Verovo as Kowalski. Since Jakub dropped out from his school, he was eventually forced by his parents to take over the job of working and maintaining the gift shop at the shooting range. He appears in the game, and can be found on the upper level of Delikatność Klienta. Along with his father and mother there are no possible ways to interact with him, staying in that position.
== Background ==
=== Early life ===
Jakub was born on July 29th 1972 in Chotyń. His mother was Zosia Marcin, and his father was Lev Marcin, who was a former criminal infamous for being the thief of Taurin, when he spent his childhood in the People's Republic of Crimsonia. After Jakub was born, Lev would spend a brief period of time in Chotyń, before Lev convinced his wife to move to a town in Dziatyczyn along with Jakub, who was only 2 years old. They moved to a property which was recently bought, an old farmhouse and a newly acquired plot where Lev had constructed a shooting range.
Jakub was exposed to firearms at an early age, and was given the nickname "Kowalski" by locals, after Frank Kowalski. He was given his first firearm; a sawed off shotgun, on his 11th birthday. However over the years, Jakub's grades began declining, and dropped out as soon as he reached 17. Because of this both of his parents forced him to work and maintain the gift shop in the shooting range, as the workers there had only worked temporarily, and Lev had issues with payment to some of his workers. 
When Lev's best-buddy, Andrzej, moved to a town north of Verovo to become his assistant, Andrzej became more of an uncle to Jakub, even offering Jakub to live at his house. Jakub was often seen as a rebellious teen. In the shed located behind the main building in the shooting range, he would usually spend most of his time there at night, sometimes even inviting his friends to watch movies or television shows. 
During the events at Marcin's Shooting Range on August 25th 1990, Jakub can be seen in game. The gift shop where Jakub can be found is located on the second floor of Delikatność Klienta, where his mother can also be seen at the counter. Jakub can be found resting on the counter, facing a small fan on the counter. Like many of the people seen in the shooting range (with the exception of Andrzej), he is unable to be interacted with, and continues to be in the same pose for the entire game. 
=== Lev Marcin's death and aftermath ===
After Lev was killed in a drive-by shooting on July 30th 1995, Jakub did not express resentment or sadness towards his father, as Lev would not spend most of his time actually raising his son, even though Andrzej had been seen as more of a "father figure" to Jakub. Jakub would soon participate in his fathers funeral, only stating that there was really no reason for his murder, and that his father was a man who was willing to change. Lev's family received donations from all across the country, along with compensations by the Dziatyczyn government. Most of the money went into maintaining the shooting range, with most of it being put under Andrzej's control for the time being. Jakub would soon give up on the gift shop, and it was closed in 1997, and moved out of Dziatyczyn to Mazurkowskie temporarily to find work. He returned to the shooting range during its final days, with him and his mother planning on moving out, when the property was left on sale.
== Later life after 2001 ==
Jakub and his mother moved back to Chotyń, with Jakub trying to build a new chapter in his life from the dirt. They lived in a two-bedroom apartment and Jakub eventually found work at a video rental store, earning enough revenue to cover for the bills and daily lives between the two. Jakub's mother received help from her relatives, purchasing a small home in Ratotik, with both of them moving there. Jakub soon moved out to Siedlica in the Mazurkowskie Voivodeship, as it was difficult for him to find work in Chotyń. He then soon had to build his new life from the ground up, marrying a woman named Maria, and having a son and a daughter whose names are currently not known.
Jakub would eventually attend his mothers funeral in 2008, and on the 40th anniversary of the opening of Marcin's Shooting Range in 2014, he once again travelled to Dziatyczyn where he attended the party, and even visiting the former site of the shooting range. He soon admitted that he was still proud of what his father had created, knowing that the shooting range, even after it was gone, still had an audience which revolved around it. Jakub would also attend Andrzej's funeral in 2023, after Andrzej died at the age of 73.
=== Illness and death ===
In the year of 2045, Jakub soon fell ill, and had breathing issues. He soon developed chronic bronchitis, and spent weeks in a hospital in Siedlica. His situation later on deteriorated due to his age, and after only spending a month in the hospital, Jakub soon passed away peacefully in his sleep at the age of 73. Jakub's coffin was then transported to a graveyard in Chotyń, where he was buried beside his mother Zosia, and his father Lev, at his request.
