## History

### Past

He was Dom's younger brother and the two of them worked on their father's crew for the last race of the season. However, when the race came, they have witnessed that their father has died in his burning car. Jakob later in life became a popular racer. However, Dom realized that their father's killer was actually Jakob, and after Jakob lost to Dom in a race, he was forced to leave LA forever. After that, he only contacted Mia for a while and his name was all erased. As an act of vengeance, he allied himself to a new partner named Otto, and they have both devised a masterplan in which they would take control of a megaweapon called Project Aries.

### *F9*

Jakob and Otto return to LA in order to accomplish their masterplan. They hijack a plane which Mr. Nobody was on and they kidnap Cipher, thus causing the plane to crash. They presumably kill Mr. Nobody and after that, they take Cipher as a hostage to their base and lock her up in a glass tank, thus forcing her to hack the Project Aries.

After that, Dominic and his crew travel to the crash site and they find some evidence from Jakob's attack, including the first half of the key to Project Aries. Dom manages to take the other half from him but he later steals it back from Letty.

Dom chases after Jakob, but he fails to stop Jakob from obtaining the first half of the key.

Jakob and Otto later interrogate Cipher who tries to turn the two of them one against the other. However, Jakob mocks Cipher, thus developing into her own rival. Jakob however does receive from her the whereabout of the second half of the key at Edenborough, Scotland.

She also tells him that Dom is alive, thus mocking him about his failure to kill him. Jakob then travels to Edenborough with Otto and as soon as he gets to the city center he is chased by Dom, as Dom's crew find out that Otto is funding the operation for Jakob to succeed for them both, and therefore they are both the partners behind the plan.

Dom manages to apprehend Jakob with the police force. However, Otto and his mercenaries manage to rescue Jakob as Otto has also revealed himself to be the one who betrayed Mr. Nobody and took involvement in Jakob's plan to kill his father.

Otto and Jakob then discuss matters and Jakob scolds at Otto for their failure. As a result, Otto goes to tell Cipher that he is planning to double cross Jakob. Cipher calls him Yoda and indicates that he is Jakob's little puppet, just before Otto reveals that he is planning something big for both of them. Jakob then kidnaps Elle, who holds the DNA which could unleash the weapon with it's touch. He also finds the second half of the key and he uses it to unleash the weapon. He orders Otto to launch a satellite so that he could activate the weapon on the entire world and he drives a truck with Elle as his hostage. His plans are about to succeed, but after Otto failed to launch the satellite, he reveals that he planned to double cross Jakob with his new partner and agent, Cipher. Realizing that he was double crossed and that Cipher is on her way inside a helicopter to shoot at his truck, Jakob allows Dom and his crew to rescue him from the truck before he dies.

After Otto's death and Cipher's retreat, Jakob makes amends with Dom and gives him the keys, just before leaving LA for good.
