Jacob Hockings

**Jacob Donner Hockings**, also known by the nickname of "P.T. Boomer", is one of the main antagonists of the SeventyVerse and the former controller of the Peel Godred Aluminium Works Railway.

## Backstory

Born into a wealthy family, Jacob Hockings was greatly spoiled by his mother, despite his father's warnings that this would corrupt him later in life. As years went by, Jacob became a very ungrateful brat, who never appreciated what he had. This lead to him bullying others into giving him things their belongings, whether it be bullying children in school for their candy or pocket money, or bullying guys into giving him *their* girlfriends. One such instance was when he bullied Burnett Stone because he wanted to date Burnett's girlfriend, Tasha. And whenever anyone stood up to him, he would throw a huge temper tantrum until his demands were met. This was shown when Tasha slapped Jacob for bullying Burnett and declared she wanted *nothing* to do with him. Because of his cruel nature, hardly anyone wanted anything to do with Jacob, apart from a woman named Victoria, who believed all he needed was a friend. Eventually, the two married, and Victoria had a daughter named Carla. Unfortunately, Jacob wanted a *son*, and out of ungrateful spite, would often bully Carla just because he wanted her to be as unhappy as he was. When Victoria found out about this, she slapped Jacob and demanded a divorce, taking Carla with her, who changed her last name to her mother's maiden name in order to cut ties with her monstrous father.

Years later, when his father opened a new Aluminium Works at Peel Godred, Jacob was given the job of its new controller out of hope that he would *finally* grow up and learn to be a responsible person. Alas, Jacob had no idea how to run a railway, and the thought of being in charge made him even more greedy and powerhungry. As a result, he became a tyrannical bully who abused, not only the engines, but also the workmen as well, doing whatever it took to make them too afraid to report him to the police, apart from the second-in-command, Shamus McMains. Upon purchasing Sir Handel and Peter Sam from the now defunct Mid Sodor Railway, Hockings revoked their names and painted over their original colors despite their protests, threatening to scrap them if they didn't obey orders. His overall goal was to replace the engines with Diesels, but Shamus's protection of the engines, and threat of being exposed to his father meant that his goal wouldn't come true unless all 4 engines were either scrapped or damaged beyond repair.

As time went on, Bertram, Freddie, and Colin perished due to Hockings abuse, leaving Stuart and Falcon alone. When he tried to scrap them, however, this lead to a huge fight between him and Shamus, with the entire workforce witnessing. Seeing firsthand Shamus's courage inspired them to stand up to their tyrannical employer, and even threaten to take *him* to pieces like he did with Bertram. This uprising forced Hockings to go into hiding while Shamus attempted to find new owners for the two surviving engines.

## Family

### Doug and Kristine Hockings

While Jacob's wealthy father, Doug, wanted to raise Hockings to be a proper, responsible adult, his mother Kristine spoiled him greatly, giving him anything he wanted, and turning a blind eye to any trouble he caused. This is because Jacob was born after Kristine had a miscarriage, and she didn't want her new baby to be hurt like the baby she had lost before they were born. This led to Jacob becoming greedy, ungrateful, and downright cruel to everyone around him. When his father opened the Aluminum Works, he entrusted Jacob in being its controller, hoping that it would *finally* teach his son some morality and responsibility. Alas, this new position of power only further corrupted Jacob even worse, resulting in the railway being ran into the ground, and all of the money that was meant to go to the engines' maintenance and overhauls being hoarded to the entitled bully. Upon the discovery of these atrocious actions, Doug Hockings angrily chewed Jacob out, and publicly disowned him as his son. And during his arresting trial, a heartbroken Kristine spoke out against Jacob, asking where she went wrong before slapping her monstrous son, and disowning him as well.

### Carla Drew

Carla was horribly abused by her father, and she was terrified of him. His excuse for this behavior was that he had wanted a *son* to carry on his family name. Her mother divorced him, and she reverted to her mother's maiden name. However, the trauma ran deep, and it effected her own daughter's upbringing. However, it's implied she has Stockholm syndrome as she believes there is some good in her father deep down.

### Addison Darnell

His only grandchild through Carla, Addison feared and resented Jacob for his mistreatment of his employees and engines. Her resentment towards him grew after she had been forced into joining his gang to enact their revenge upon the North Western Railway. Ironically, Addison ended up becoming like her grandfather as she got older, proving that she was no better than him as he'd one day point out.

## Enemies

### Burnett and Tasha Stone

Even as children, Jacob would bully Burnett Stone to gloat over how richer he was than him. As years went by, however, he bullied Burnett even more when he noticed that he now had a loving girlfriend by the name of Tasha. His goal was to make Burnett hand Tasha over to *him*. But Tasha saw right through this and told Jacob off for being such a nasty person, and how she wanted *nothing* to do with him. Many years later, when Hockings became the tyrannical ruler of the Peel Godred Aluminium Works, Burnett and Tasha confronted him for how he was bullying the engines who worked there. During said confrontation, Tasha struck Hockings several times before dying from a heart attack. Following this, Hockings bullied Burnett into staying quiet about his actions at Peel Godred, threatening to have Burnett's engine, who was *also* named Tasha, scrapped if he said anything about it. This fear caused Burnett to let Hockings spend the next six years treating his workmen and engines as nothing but slaves until his eventual arrest. Years later, the two foes met again after Hockings escaped from prison under the alias of "P.T. Boomer", and brought an army of diesels to threaten the North Western Railway while Sir Topham Hatt was away on holiday.

### Shamus McMains

Patch's father, Shamus, was the only employee at the Aluminium Works who was ever brave enough to stand up to Jacob Hockings' abuse, and one of the only people to ever call him stupid in front of everyone. Hockings had tried to bully and abuse Shamus into obeying his command without question like he did with everyone else. To his shock, however, Shamus didn't give in to such bullying, and even fought back against the tyrant, even going as far as to hitting Hockings from time to time, and threatening to call the police on him, and going as far as to call Sir Handel and Peter Sam by their Mid Sodor names, and attempting to repaint them into their original liveries against Hockings' order.

### Sir Bertram Topham Hatt

Jacob Hockings was also an enemy to the Hatt Family because of how they chose to treat engines with kindness and respect, whereas the cruel bully believed that engines had no feelings due to them being nothing more than machines. Because of this, he would often clash with Sir Bertram Topham Hatt, the current controller of the North Western Railway, about how engines *should* be treated; him believing that using fear and severe discipline was the only way to ensure they do as they are told. When Hockings killed Stevie for standing up for Sir Handel and Peter Sam, it took Sir Topham every ounce of self control he had from *killing* Hockings for having the gall to attack *his* railway.

## Other Relationships

### Diesel 10

Diesel 10 was the most loyal to Jacob Hockings during his first invasion on the North Western Railway. This is mainly believed to be that it was due to Hockings referring to him as the "Engine of the Future" when first equipping Diesel 10 with his claw, Pinchy.

### Bertram, Freddie and Colin

Having previously been owned by Doug Hockings, the trio thought his son would have been as kind, yet strict, as him. However, the trio were horrified to find out that Jacob Hockings was abusive and toxic. Sadly, they all died at his hands one by one (though Colin's death was caused by *neglect* than straight up scrapping), and Sir Handel and Peter Sam were left traumatized and heartbroken.

## Personality

Jacob Hockings was born with a silver spoon in the mouth, and his mother made him spoiled, hot tempered and above all, jealous with a huge ego. He abused those at Peel Godred just to put them down, and he wasn't above scrapping them to put others into subordination. And though he is aware such behavior is illegal, he thinks he is *above* the law simply because of his upbringing.
