Jacob Clearwater

**Jacob Clearwater** is a Primordial Werewolf and is one of the first werewolves, Beta of the Primordials pack, and Alpha of his own. Jacob imprinted on the hybrid baby named Renesmee Swan, the daughter of Seth and Bella Swan.

## Early life

In *Voodoo in My Blood*, the origins of the Werewolf Curse and Werewolves were revealed. A powerful witch, that was known as "the Hollow", cursed the members of her tribe that were responsible for her murder and created the Seven Werewolf Bloodlines. The Hollow was hunted by wolves, and was killed on the night of a full moon. These circumstances would cause future werewolves to have to take a human life to activate the werewolf gene, forcing the species to have to painfully shapeshift on the night of a full moon into the very animals that hunted Inadu down.

## Personality

He is one of two who dislike being wolf the most and wants nothing more than to be rid of his magical inheritance, but learns to adapt to the idea. When he first joined the pack, Seth wanted him to lead it, but he refused and gave the responsibility to him instead.

In *Eclipse*, he becomes a lot more confident that Bella is really for him - so much that he makes her realize that she does love him after all through means of trickery. He also seems to be somewhat rebellious, since he encourages Bella to sneak out to visit him and they ditch school so they could spend some time alone, even though just as friends. In *Breaking Dawn*, his personality changes yet again, to slightly violent and pessimistic, as he feels like Bella is going to die due to her unnatural pregnancy. He is ready to kill her baby daughter, Renesmee, until he imprints on her. After this and Bella's successful transformation into a vampire, he returns to his cheerful personality as he no longer feels the pain of Bella's rejection.

During free time, he enjoys rebuilding automotive vehicles, hanging out with his friends, and playing with Renesmee. He also has an interest in watching action movies and commenting on bloody scenes.

Generally, Jacob is very friendly, playful, carefree, and caring towards the people around him. He would go to any extent to protect those he loves most, most obvious in *Breaking Dawn* when he disbands from his pack and sacrifices everything to protect Bella. He is also shown to be somewhat sarcastic, slightly obnoxious and slightly childish, and has a hot-headed temper due to his wolf side and highly dislikes the scent of vampires. He was also very hostile toward Edward, even before he phased, only because they were both in love with Bella, but they eventually come to terms with each other. After embracing his right as an Alpha and imprinting on Renesmee in *Breaking Dawn*, he begins to take the responsibilities of leading his renegade pack more seriously.

Like everyone else in his tribe, he had a prejudice against the Mikaelson Familyand other vampires, viewing them as nothing more than blood-sucking monsters, but eventually warmed up to the Mikaelson Family and came to see them as something more than vampires.

## Physical Appearance

### Human form

Growing from 5'10 to 6'7 within one year, Jacob is the tallest character in the series, towering over Alice by nearly three feet and describing her as about the size of one of his arms. Bella notes that he would surely hit his head upon the beams of her new cottage. He is of Native American descent and in *Twilight* had a lanky build and wore his long hair in a ponytail. Though he looked too tall for his age, he had a hint of childish roundedness to his chin.

Around the time when he started to phase, his body grew tremendously thick, toned, and muscular, similar to that of a serious bodybuilder, though balanced by his tremendous height so he doesn't look out of proportion. In *New Moon*, upon discovering his shape-shifter powers and joining the Quileute pack, he crops his long black hair short. Later he grows it out to chin length in *Eclipse* because he thinks Bella prefers it longer. He cuts it short again in *Breaking Dawn*. Jacob is also said to be extremely handsome, with dark good looks, raven-black hair, russet skin (which Bella was rather jealous of at times), and deep-set twinkling dark brown eyes; Bella once described him as "sort of beautiful".

### Wolf form

As a wolf, Jacob is about 10 feet in length, has russet brown fur, dark intelligent eyes, and is very swift. He was also the second-fastest and the second largest in Primordial pack. He later grows to be as large and strong as Seth, but Jasper Cullen is still faster than him. Jasper acknowledged him as the pack's second strongest fighter.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Super Strength:** Primordials are far stronger than, normal werewolves, vampires, non- hybrids and humans. They can decapitate others with little to no effort. The Primordial of Alpha are strong enough on their own even without a pack they are dangerously powerful and when they kill a member of their own pack that power is add to the primordial alpha but will take them a little to get used to add new strength, They grow stronger with time; their muscular physique is much more defined and muscle mass is increased. Their strength matched by The Original Vampires, The Upgraded Vampire Marcel can overpower the Primordials also Marcus can do that even under a full moon. Jacob is rivaling Seth Cullen as the strongest Primordial.
* **Super Speed:** Primordials are faster than normal werewolves, vampires, hybrids and humans. They are able to out run any supernatural species. Their speed is matched by The Original Vampires, The Upgraded Vampire Marcel can run faster then the Primordials also Marcus can do that even under a full moon.
* **Heightened Senses:** Primordials have extremely enhanced, keen senses of hearing, sight, smell, and taste. Their senses improve over time.
* **Super Agility:** Primordials possess superhuman stamina, flexibility, reflexes, agility, and dexterity. They can move, jump, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion. This ability improves with age.
* **Healing:** Primordials can recover/heal/regenerate from any injury almost instantly and more effectively than ordinary werewolf, vampires and humans.
* **Immortality:** Unlike normal werewolves they possess immortality and such will live forever. If Primordials were to have children with a mortal (i.e a human or werewolf) than that child will be born with longevity.
* **Telepathy:** Primordials can communicate mentally with other werewolves.
* **Lie Detection:** Primordial Werewolves are able to sense if you're lying or not, they also don't need to only listen to a person's heartbeat to tell. This power can be used without transforming.
* **Anger:** When a Primordial werewolf is furious, their anger increase all their powers and abilities for a short period of time, as well as can have an advantage over another species. This power can be used without transforming.
* **Werewolf Bite:** The poison in the bite of a Primordial werewolf is extremely lethal to normal vampires and will kill them in less than 24 hours, but not as lethal to an Original. If a Primordial bites a human than that human will either die or live within the next 24 hours. If the human survives than s/he will become a werewolf.
* **Full Moon:** Primordial werewolves powers and abilities are enhanced and are at their peak during a Full Moon.
* **Transformation Control:** They can change at will and will have full control over themselves.
* **Lycanthrope Enhancement:** Primordial werewolves are capable of using their werewolf features to further supplement their powers. As such, they can grow claws from their fingernails and werewolf fangs from their teeth even when they are still in their human forms. Their eyes also change into those of their werewolf form, presumably granting them better eyesight.
* **Resurrection:** Under the right circumstances they can bring back another Primordial or another werewolf.
* **High body temperature:** Primordials have a constant body temperature of about 110° degrees to withstand severe cold weather. This high body heat also allows them to survive in very hot weather, making it hard for their bodies to overheat. This high body temperature is very useful in combat, as it makes it extremely hard for vampires to harm them because they are *extremely* sensitive to heat. In *Breaking Dawn*, after Bella becomes a vampire, she describes Jacob's skin as like touching an open fire and unbearable to touch. This temperature also prevents frequent illness, by killing any potential pathogens they come into contact with before they can become ill. Jacobs mentions this ability to be beneficial. Primordials cannot go to the hospital when they are running a temperature that should indicate them as dead.
* **Highlighted Tracking** - This ability lets him track whom ever he wants in human form and wolf he can focus on who he hunting and their tracks will light up which ever color showing he where they went and however strong the scent making it extremely easy for him to find them.

### Unique Alpha powers

* **Alpha Voice:** Jacob has the strongest Alpha voice of all of the Primordials.

## Weaknesses

* **Wolfsbane:** Wolfsbane burns Primordials just like it does with the other Werewolves, although a Primordial will heal very fast to the point where the damage done by the Wolfsbane is gone in seconds.
* **Black Wolfsbane:** Black Wolfsbane is a mutated version of Wolfsbane that originated in what is now recognized as modern-day Japan. It is also known as one of the only things that can permanently kill a Primordial Werewolf.
* **Desiccation:** They don't require blood to sustain them but through the use of magic desiccation can immobilize them.
* **Ancient Silver Maple Ash Dagger:** An enchanted Silver Dagger that is dipped in the Ashes of the Ancient Silver Maple Tree can kill a Primordial, if temporarily. The Dagger must remain in the heart of the Primordial to keep them incapacitated, otherwise they will revive.
* **Ancient Silver Maple Stake:** It was originally thought that Primordials can presumably only be killed with a stake of wood from an Ancient Silver Maple tree that was created by the Original Witch so that they can have a weakness. By being stabbed through their heart they will presumably die
* **First Transformation:** Primordial werewolves must undertake their first transformation, despite their ability to control shapeshifting. Klaus explains that this is a rite of passage and cannot be avoided.
* **Heart Extraction** - Ripping a Primordial werewolf's heart out will result in instant death. It is hard to take the heart due to they body been very strong and hard like stone so the person that wants to take the heart needs to be very strong.
* **imprintee:** Renesmee can make him do things and control him if she wants to.

## Relationships

### Jacob and Renesmee Swan

Jacob Black is the Quileute shape-shifter who has imprinted on Renesmee.

He was originally in love with Renesmee's mother, Bella. After unsuccessfully trying to take Bella from her Werewolf boyfriend Seth, Jacob fell into a state of depression caused by a broken heart. Soon after this, Bella became pregnant with her and Seth's baby. Jacob was repulsed because he saw the baby the same way he saw Seth: a monster. Jacob made his hatred for the baby clear on multiple occasions, including when he became angry at Bella for saying that the baby reminded her of him. Bella nearly died giving birth to the baby, whom she named Renesmee. During Bella's transformation into a Werewolf, Jacob believed that she had died, and attempted to kill Renesmee for revenge. But when he made eye contact with Renesmee, he involuntarily imprinted on her. He then realized why he and Bella were pulled toward each other during her pregnancy: because Renesmee was a significant (due to the similarities between her and her mother as a human) part of Bella, and that makes her his object of imprint.

Renesmee loves Jacob as much as she loves her parents. Jacob's imprinting on Renesmee helps end the warring tension between the Primordials and the Clearwater pack, because while she is imprinted on, she becomes untouchable to the other wolves due to pack law whereas the person a wolf imprinted upon was not to be harmed by other tribal members. Jacob is the one who nicknamed her "Nessie". As part of the imprint, he would do anything for her and visit her every single day. Renesmee is shown to be possessive of Jacob and seems to enjoy his company just as much as he enjoys hers. While Renesmee is a child, Jacob is near her to protect her, nurture her, and be her best friend. Because of the inevitable hardships of being away from her, he abandons his initial plan of living the rest of his life as a wolf and dedicates to protecting Renesmee. His desire to please Renesmee makes his own opinions secondary.

On Christmas night, Jacob gives Renesmee a handmade bracelet, which is the Quileute version of a promise ring. Edward is annoyed by the gift, but Bella has learned to accept his devotion. When her maturity completes, Jacob's feelings are expected to become romantic in response to Renesmee's own feelings when she grows up.

Jacob's imprinting on Renesmee initially caused tension from her parents, but they come to accept the relationship and it in turn strengthens their own relationship with Jacob. During the Volturi confrontation, Jacob acts as Renesmee's bodyguard and was ready to go into hiding for her protection; also, in *Breaking Dawn - Part 2*, he takes her to safety in the midst of the battle. In Alice's vision of the future, Jacob and a grown Renesmee are seen together, having become mates.
