**Jacob Maroni**, one of the very most prominent leaders in the Italian Empire and also a founding member of the Maroni Clan, was born a few generations after the Great Flood on Earth 616. When Marn Heirogryph visited Earth in his vessel William Ferguson, he created the Ferguson Clan as well as the Italian Empire. The great Don invited Jacob and his closest confidant, Brody Maroni, into the Empire. Jacob and Brody subsequently formed the great Maroni Clan and joined forces with Don Ferguson and the Italian Empire.

## **Biography**

### **Before the dark times**

Jacob Maroni was born thirty-seven years after the Great Flood and grew up in Italy, where he and his practical brother Brody Maroni, would partake in antics that involved stupidity. In his teen years, he and Brody befriended two other Italian no-goods, Georgie and Big Paulie. The four of them established a brotherhood of crime, wherein they would do petty crimes that involved mugging, battery, arson, and brutally murdering their enemies in cold blood.

At one point, Georgie and Big Pauie disappeared due to one of their rival gangs kidnapping them. This angered Jacob and Maroni a great deal, and with a bloody vengeance, they set out to locate their friends and take care of the others.

When they reached the enemy stronghold, they slewed all in their path unaware of the fact that both of them were were subtly wielding the Dark Side of Gar. Eventually the two of them finally reached the location of Big Paulie and Georgie, and were confronted by their captors, Barb and Cyrus, who were secretly Dark Lords of the Sith. Barb and Cyrus then killed Big Paulie and Georgie right in front of Jacob and Brody's eyes, which unfortunately for the Sith duo, enabled the Italian brothers to fully embrace the Dark Side.

For some reason, mainly because Jacob and Brody's awesomeness, they instantly knew they were wielding Gar, and even knew how to utilize it in battle in addition to having a great knowledge of Gar, all in an instant. Jacob then proceeded to blast blinding Force Lightning  at Barb, relishing in her suffering. Brody reached out with the Force and broke through Cyrus's Force barrier, ensnaring him in a rage fueled Force choke, suffocating the life out of him. When all was done, their foes were dead. They had had their revenge, but the deaths of Big Paulie and Georgie did not bode well with them at all, but what was done was done.

### **A special invitation**

A few hours after the destruction of Barb and Cyrus, Jacob and Brody were getting kicked out of a strip club due to rowdy behavior. That was when they were visited by none other than William Ferguson, leader of the Ferguson Clan, who was also secretly the God of the Multiverse, Marn Heirogryph. He explained to them that he felt the disturbance in the Gar, and that he thought Jacob and Brody were worthy of joining his Italian Empire. He also explained to the them who he truly was, and that what they saw was nothing but a vessel. However, Marn did make it clear that the Don Ferguson is to be treated with the utmost respect.

Jacob and Brody were then brought to the Imperial Italian Palace, the main headquarters of the Italian Empire. There, Jacob and Brody gathered a great number of allies and officially formed the infamous Maroni Clan. Don Ferguson, pleased with seeing them gain so much head in the Empire so quickly, and also pleased with their growing powers, decided to grant them immortality so that they could rule forever. After that, the Empire experienced the Thousand-Year Prosperity, in which peace ruled supreme.

### **A rift to the Main Universe**

It was a day like any other, business as usual. It had been about three hundred years since Marn had granted Jacob Immortality, and in that time the Italian Empire had experienced nothing but peace. Jacob's brother Brody was off-planet taking care of some business with Tony Riccotoni Macaroni Balogna Maroni, and Jacob himself was just chilling at the Imperial Italian Palace, drinking wine and puffing on a cigar. Jacob decided he wanted to go for a stroll, and while he was walking in some woods by the palace, he fell through a rift in the ground that led to the Main Universe.

When Jacob fell into the Main Universe, he emerged in some underground tunnels that were connected to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Jacob immediately took notice of all the Force activity that was happening around and above him, and decided to root it out. He found himself in the midst of a intense war zone, and everywhere he observed the flashing of blue, green, and red. A Jedi must of sensed Jacob's Dark Side signature, because one came bounding his way. Jacob easily caught the Jedi in mid jump with the Force, and then used Telepathy to steal her Lightsaber. Jacob observed it closely for a moment, and then proceeded to impale the Jedi with her own lightsaber, killing her painfully.

Jacob decided to join the fray, killing anyone who came in his path indiscriminately, and without remorse. Jacob killed a Sith Warrior  and took his lightsaber so that he could wield two instead of one. At one point, Jacob was triple teamed, and when the duo's lightsabers made contact with his flesh, instead of slicing him cleanly, the lighsabers simply passed through him, due to his immortality. Jacob killed two of them with Force lightning, and Force Crushed the other, he was having the time of his life. That was, until his cigar dropped from his lips, which warranted him search for it.

The cigar was eventually found, but by that point very precious few were left to kill, so Jacob decided to cut his losses and take his leave. When Jacob looked back at the field of battle for one last time, he witnessed the Sith Warrior Darth Malgus impale Jedi Master Ven Zallow. Jacob liked the bald-headed Sith, so he decided not to slay him. He then left for the rift, to go back to the good old Italian Empire.

### **Establishing a Maroni holdout on Coruscant**

When Brody and Tony returned from their mission off-planet, Jacob informed them of his discovery, of the rift that lead from the Earth 616 Universe to the Main Universe. Brody was very curious of this phenomenon, so he asked Jacob to show him to the rift so that they could pass through and do some reconnaissance. They arrived to the other side, and Jacob told Brody of the battle that had took place. Both Jacob and Brody could feel the planet was ripe with fear and the smell of fire and smoke.

The both of them reached the war-torn surface and Jacob pointed out that the temple in which he killed many Jedi and Sith, was leveled to the ground. Brody surmised that the planet was under a state of martial law because of all the starships flying around. Jacob said they wouldC have to be stealthy and hide their presences if they were to establish a holdout on the world.

After exploring for many hours, the two brothers happened upon a staircase that led to a hidden tunnel, that ultimately would lead to The Works. They decided that place would work for a hidden base of operations, and the fact that the planet already had a great supply of starships was also fruitful. They made their way back to the portal so that they could give word to Don Ferguson, who would help them expand the word of the Italian Empire to this new universe.

Many weeks have passed, and the Maroni base on Coruscant was thriving. The three heads of the Italian Empire personally oversaw the expansion on the world. The Don Ferguson himself personally enabled an issue that involved the thieving of starships all around Coruscant, and by that point, they had thousands at their disposal. Jacob and Brody were assigned to lead these campaigns, and there was often blood spilled during these bloody missions. Jacob didn't care, he loved brutally mutilated the innocents and then stealing their ships.

After many days of this cycle, the Coruscant Police Force as well as the The Sith Empire, were starting to crack down on some of these stealing missions. Of course the only missions that were thwarted involved the fodder of the Italian Empire, but still lives were lost, and more importantly, the ships were lost. When word reached Don Ferguson and the Maroni Brothers, they were beyond furious, and so was the powerful Maroni assassin Conker. The four decided to properly take care of any imperial/police forces in the most Italian manner, but not without first donning clever disguises to hide their identities.

### **Killing some enemies**

The moment the four of them arrived to the surface, they each separated and went off in different directions. Jacob himself encountered a mass group of Coruscant police doing an extensive search of an area that had been hit by the Maroni clan, he used the force to propel his speed as to not be seen. When he arrived at the investigation, he ignited his lightsabers and started to lop off heads lightning quick, so quick that by the point the police force realized they were under attack, half of them were already beheaded. They attempted to shoot at the blinding fast figure, only to have their blaster bolts sent right back at them. Such speed was due to the fact that Jacob was utilizing the Speed Force, which was also a part of Gar.

The massacre lasted about eight seconds, and Jacob was pleased with the hundreds of bodies sprawled all around. Jacob didn't stick around for to long, there were more to kill. So he stole a speeder bike that must of belonged to the one of the corpses, and bolted off to find new prey. It didn't take long for him to find his prey, for an Imperial Starship was lowering to the ground to intercept him. Jacob realized that a sith on board the cruiser must of sensed the malice and force power he wielded. Latch doors opened and Imperial troops came out to meet him.

Jacob used his lightsabers to reflect incoming blaster fire, which took care of many of the troops. Jacob then unleashed a mighty Force Push that sent hundreds of troops sky high, and quickly took care of the rest. Jacob then boarded the starship through the open latch doors and caused mayhem from the inside, killing many imperials in brutal fashions. Eventually his little visit inside the ship paid off, for Jacob came across five sith, lightsabers ignited. Jacob could smell their fear, it came off insp palpable waves. The five rushed to meet the menace, but quickly discovered that they were outmatched, and soon dead.

When all on board the cruiser have been properly extinguished, Jacob stole the starship, but other starships were approaching, as well as Imperial TIE fighters. Jacob was under heavy fire, and the ship might not last much longer. Jacob would bide his time by turning on the shields, which gave him enough time to use the force to single handedly control the entire starship. Jacob was about to give them hell, but suddenly Ferguson arrived in his own stolen starship and gave them some hell of his own. Jacob, knowing that the Don Ferguson liked to make sport out of times like these, tried to take out more ties and cruisers than he could. It was a friendly game between them two.

After Jacob and the Don had killed everyone there, including some citizens, they both decided to take their starships to the sky. When in the sky, Ferguson communed with Jacob through the force and told him that there were two reasons for what they were doing, one was to kill some imperials and coruscanti police groups, and the other was that by engaging in such mass destruction, it would allow allL of the Italian Empire on the planet to take to Hyperspace with the stolen ships, and ultimately expand their influence. Jacob communed back and told him that was a most well thought out plan.

He and Ferguson continued the conversation through the Force until Jacob himself told the Don that he spotted the main headquarters of the coruscant police force, and that because of his immortality, he would like to kamikaze his ship into it. Ferguson liked the plan and told Jacob that he would continue to attack from the sky, and with that they bode farewell for the time being. While Jacob was speeding towards the headquarters with the intent to destroy it, he witnessed a massive explosion in the far distance, and felt thousands of voices cry out in terror, only to be silenced. Jacob sensed that was the work of Conker, what he also sensed was the presence of Brody inside the headquarters. He didn't care, Brody would be fine because he too couldn't be killed.

The explosion from the kamikaze was a great deal more destructive than Jacob thought it would be, it was also a great deal more painful. The blast had all but incinerated everything within miles, including a lot of surrounding infrastructure. Suddenly Jacob saw Brody approaching from the distance, and he was clearly enraged. When Brody reached him, he explained that before Jacob decided to humor himself with his clever little bombing, he had just finished dispatching of every last enemy within the headquarters and was on his way out. Jacob realized his mistake, but contended that it was only a minor setback. The two of them would stick together from that point on.

Later on that day, and after many more fun hours of slaughtering foes, Jacob, Brody, the Don Ferguson, and Conker had all received word that most of the Italian Empire on coruscant had escaped into hyperspace due to their distraction war on the surface. Don Ferguson contacted the three others and ordered them to head to the works to seek refuge back at their hidden establishment. When the four mighty conquerors returned back to the Maroni base on coruscant, they each noticed that the rift from their planet had somehow been placed at the hideout. Jacob spoke out and decided that it must of been the work of Marn himself, the three others agreed, even if there was no way to prove it. After that, Jacob, Brody, and Conker returned back to the Imperial Italian Palace, while Ferguson stayed behind on coruscant to manage some affairs, and it was back to the good life.

### **Making an example of the poo**

There was talk of a powerful underworld leader by the name of The Great Mighty Poo active within the Main Universe, and that he had many connections. A deal had gone sour between an ally gang of the Maroni's and the poop, so a group of Marnoi men decided to kill the piece of crap. When they arrived to the Great Mighty Poo's domain and confronted him, almost all of them got killed instantly. It was a total massacre, and only a small handful of Italian's survived to give word to their bosses. When word reached the ear's of Jacob and Brody, they were most displeased. So they got Tony to yell Conker's name repeatedly until he came, and then they dispatched him to take care of the Great Mighty Poo.

When Conker finally arrived at the poos location, the Great Mighty Poo started to sing opera, and continued to do so throughout the fierce duel. Conker's battle tactic was throwing toilet paper in the toilet that the poo was confined, as well as other forms of lethal attacks. The closer the poo came to death, and faster and angrier he would sing, making him stronger. Eventually Conker decided to stop toying with the poop and let the real fight begin, and a moment later the Great Mighty Poo was being flushed down his prison like toilet, which was actually constructed by Fred many thousands of years prior. Before the poo was completely dealt with, Conker relayed that he was simply toying with him, and that he was an insignificant nothing.

### **The Italian Civil War**

Everything was peaceful, like the way it had been for the past thousand years. That peace was shattered when the Italian Empire found itself in a civil war. A former member of the Maroni gang, Cornelius Stefani, foolishly decided he could take on the Italian Empire in a war. He wasn't alone though, for he allied himself with the Fabrigazi Clan, a new faction that was ruled by the vicious Depiano Fabrigazi. The funding for the war against the Italian Empire was the work of some mysterious benefactor.

As the war was brewing, Marn Heirogryph received word that there was an unknown benefactor. Marn soon discovered that this supplier of funds was none other than his primordial  arch nemesis, Sheev-3PO. Marn knew that Sheev needed to be dealt with one way or another, so he took Ferguson as his vessel, and took the battle to Sheev. As the two dueled above Earth, Marn shielded the Solar System with his powers. At one point during the fight, a mighty explosion occurred. This explosion knocked both primordial beings into The Empty, as well as sending Ferguson back to Earth.

Another thing to bear to fruit from the explosion was a black hole that threatened the safety of the entire Earth 616 Universe. Fortunately for everyone in the Universe, Oobi Doob Scooby Dooby Benubi was present to destroy the black hole and save the lives of many. With that out of the way, all that was left was the war on the ground. With the Don Ferguson knocked out from the explosion, Jacob and Brody personally ended all rebellion by mercilessly slaughtering almost all remnants of the Stefanis and Fabrigazis. The war was over, and the Italian Empire would experience peace for thousands of more years to come.

### **A reunion with the dead**

Thirty seven years after the Italian Civil War, Jacob was getting drunk in Venice, Italy. He was very surprised when he witnessed his long lost friends Big Paulie and Georgie stumble into the bar. Jacob shouted to them and they came running over to greet him. They told Jacob that when they had died a thousand years prior, they were both sent into the depths of Hell, and that the two of them initially suffered a great deal. After a while, they started to learn how to channel their powers to overthrow the torturers. Lucifer, the ruler of Hell, witnessed first hand the power that the duo possessed, and he was quite impressed, so he confronted Georgie and Big Paulie and told them that they would be his bodyguards.

Even though Satan said they were to be bodyguards, he mainly just used them to be his personal lapdogs, and fetch his a cold one whenever he deemed it necessary. They still technically were his guards, so Satan taught them about the arts of Demon Magicks. After thousands of long years in service of the dark ruler, Paulie and Georgie were as powerful as any Demon hell had to offer, all save Satan himself.

On one fateful day when Lucifer had had enough of their bickering and incompetence, he became extremely annoyed, and since he couldn't kill them since they were already dead, he just sent both of them through a rift into The Underworld, ruled by Hades. When Hades discovered the strangers in his domain, he at first wanted to lock them in a fiery chamber to roast for all eternity, but then he sensed the latent demon-like aura the two of them possessed. Hades was intrigued at how two mortals obtained such raw power, so he struck a deal with them.

He told them that he was at war with Zeus, and that he needed a little help defending the gates of the Underworld, where Zeus's minions were trying to invade. Hades told them that if they were of use, he'd grant their lives back to them and even return them to their home planet, but if they failed, he'd cast them into the deepest depths of Tartarus, where even fouler things lurked. Big Paulie and Georgie urgently agreed to the task. Hades was able to create a rift to the war zone, and Big Paulie and Georgie emerged to the field of battle.

When Georgie and Big Paulie observed the battle, they saw many Angles battling against many Demons, apparently at a standstill. The Italian duo had something to say about that, as they started easily slaying any Angel they saw with ease. Georgie hit the ground with such force that it caused a mighty quake that split the ground in two, causing many to fall into a fiery demise. Big Paulie conjured a storm of Fire that ran rampant throughout the battle, felling Angle and Demon alike.

When the battle was over, Hades observed that they had been of use, and fulfilled his promise of sending them back to Earth. Even though Hades was only powerful enough to open rifts into other forms of Hell, he had constructed a special machine that could create artificial portals to any point in the Multiverse, if imbued with enough power. Hades himself wasn't powerful enough to accurately power the machine alone, so he would need help. That's where Big Paulie and Georgie came into play. With the power of all three of them combined, Big Paulie and Gerogie found themselves back on Earth, and alive.

Finally Big Paulie and Gerogie were done telling their tale to Jacob, and he was most pleased to hear of the boost of abilities they received as well. However they also made it clear that they had depleted a hundred years use of their powers whenever they used the machine, so for the time being, they were just ordinary men. Jacob said that didn't matter, and that he was just glad that they were back. In conclusion, the three of them got slammed on liquor and caused a forest fire.

### **Exterminating some bugs**

Twenty three years had passed since Georgie and Big Paulie made their return to Earth, and they were on a mission in north Africa. Things weren't going well for them, as Paulie was able to get word to Jacob and Brody that they needed backup, but before he could say why, the transmission ended. The Don Ferguson was occupied dealing with some issues elsewhere, so Jacob and Brody personally left to go deal with the situation.

When Jacob and Brody arrived in Africa to help their brothers, they discovered that Paulie was trapped inside of a temple, and that Georgie was missing. Paulie explained that he and Georgie were tracked down by a ferocious hive of eight-foot tall beatles. What all of them didn't know was that these beatles were actually sent from Hell by Satan to murder Georgie and Big Paulie. The three of them proceeded to battle the bugs, slaughtering all of them, before finding Georgie suspended over a pool of acid and rescuing him. After that, the four of them returned to Italy.

### **Where did the rift go?**

Many years passed, and things were pretty normal for the Empire, peaceful. The peace and easy feelings were disturbed whenever word got out that the rift that guided them passage to the Main Universe had suddenly disappeared. Don Ferguson gave the command to do an extensive search of the forest where it had once been.

After days of searching, it was to no avail. Don ferguson, Don Brody, and Jacob personally tried reaching out to Marn, hoping he would restore the portal. Marn was silent, as he had been since the Italian Civil War. What they didn't know, was that Marn was recovering from his brutal defeat at the hand of Sheev-3PO. The Italian Empire was quite wroth.

Another thing that the Empire was unaware of, was the fact that it was Gar himself who erased the rift to the Main Universe. The reason Gar did so, was that he thought the rift was a mistake that he created, so he destroyed it. There would be no boo boo's in any of Gar's creations.

### **Going to Hell**

The year on Earth 616 was 57,102 B.C., and there was whisper of Fabrigazi activity. Apparently the Fabrigazis from ages past were planing a resurgence, so the Italian Empire attempted to search for their location with the intent of finalizing their existences. The searches were proving to be fruitless, as there was no evidence being uncovered to prove anything of a return. Eventually the Don's Brody and Ferguson discovered that it was Depaino, who somehow allied himself with Satan, who were planning the resurgence. Brody and Ferguson paid Jacob a visit and informed him of what they discovered. The three of them then performed a ritual that would allow them to die and go to Hell so that they could deal with this threat.

In Hell, they battled demons for almost two thousand years, which was only about two seconds on Earth. The three heads of the Italian Empire successfully infiltrated Satan's Palace, where they fought bravely and valiantly, but eventually the sheer number of demons overpowered them. They were brought before the ruler of Hell, who was actually convinced by the three of them to turn against Depaino Fabrigazi and form an alliance with the Italian Empire. Satan saw no further use of Depaino, so he cast him into Chaos. Before heading back to Earth, they sealed their newfound alliance with a Blood Pact.

### **Invasions and treachery**

Many years later, events were unfolding in the Main Universe. The Sith Lords Darth Tenebrous and Darth Plagueis were experimenting with the Dark Side of Gar, and their meddling with the Force allowed them to unintentionally open a rift to the Earth 616 Universe. When the Sith duo passed through the portal, it closed immediately behind them, rendering them stuck in unfamiliar territory. The Sith Lords discovered the Italian Empire, and were quite impressed. Subsequently, Tenebrous formed a plan to take control of the Empire so he could usurp all their power.

They tried to persuade men from the Ferguson and Maroni clans to join their cause, but instead they reported them to their bosses. Don Ferguson, Don Brody, and Jacob upon hearing this, were very angry. The three of them personally hunted down the Sith, and took them back to the Imperial Italian Palace, where they were thrown in the impenetrable dungeon that formed as a prison. While in the dungeon, Tenebrous and Plageuis would experience unrelenting torture for seven years straight.

One night, the Don Ferguson visited their cell to deliver them their nightly torture, only to discover that they figured out how to reopen the rift back to the Main Universe. Ferguson engaged them in a duel, and while they were dueling, all of them traveled into the Main Universe through the portal, shutting it and trapping Fergsuon. Ferguson, seeing that they were no real threat, let them escape with their lives.

Jacob and Brody quickly figured out what transpired, and they would devote every ounce of their beings in bringing Ferguson back to his rightful Universe. After three months of getting nowhere, they decided to perform the Maroni Ritual so they could go to Hell and recruit Satan for help. When they arrived to, Satan made it clear that he did not posses the ability to create portals to other Universes, but he could do so with other forms of Hell. Satan told them that Chaos was the Hell of the Main Universe, and that if they could manage to escape, they would arrive to their desired location.

They agreed, and Satan allowed them to pass into Chaos. However, Satan betrayed them and closed the portal, trapping them in Chaos. Now that Satan had disposed of the garbage, he sent his two finest Demons, Beelzebub and Azrael into their bodies on Earth, allowing him to take full control of the Italian Empire. Satan then tasked all his Demons with figuring out how to create inter-dimensional portals into other Universes, so that he might conquer those as well.

### **Enemies from all sides**

While inside of Chaos, Jacob and Brody quickly discovered that they had many enemies. One of them actually being Depiano Fabrigazi, who allied himself with The Dark Underlord, the ruler over the realm. The enemies also included all the Sith they ever killed. After many years of fending off vengeful souls, Darth Plagueis eventually died, and upon discovering the presence of Jacob and Brody, sided with Depiano. The two of them amassed an entire legion of Sith to their cause. The brothers spent many years on the run from the unresting army allied against them.

It wasn't until 4 ABY, when Darth Sidious met his end, that Jacob and Brody would receive any help. Sidious being the one who killed Plagueis, allied himself with Jacob and Brody, and together they crushed all in their path. After that, the three of them combined their knowledge and powers to escape Chaos, returning them to the Main Universe. Jacob and Brody would take the bodies of two dead bounty hunters as their vessels, and start anew.

### **Time in the Main Universe**

The first thing they tried to do in the Main Universe was to ascertain the location of Ferguson, but after years of searching it was still to no avail. What they did discover were the remnants of the Ferguson Syndicate, which was a criminal organization that the Don established. It was a tragedy when they discovered that it had almost entirely destroyed by Jabba Desilijic Tiure and his goons, but what was even more upsetting was the fact that he he had already been killed, meaning they'd never have the chance enact revenge of their own. However, what they did do, was start rebuilding the Syndicate in the Criminal Underworld.

It had been twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin, and they Syndicate was more powerful than it had ever been, and no faction in the Galaxy dared to oppose them. Every once in awhile they'd run into New Republic Starships in space, and in keeping with the need to be concealed, left them no choice but to massacre them. They would decide to reveal themselves when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the Galaxy, and would ally themselves with the Jedi Order, Mandalore, the New Republic, and even remainders of the Galactic Empire, but only so they could appear to be good guys.

The Vong would ultimately overtake the Galaxy and take the capital world of Coruscant, which they renamed Yuuzhan'tar. Their stay on the planet was brief, and after some years, the allies would eventually defeat them in what came to be known as the Yuuzhan Vong War. As for the Vong, they were either killed, or thrown into slavery to right the wrongs they dealt to the Galaxy. Jacob and Brody would personally rape and butcher many of the Vong themselves. After the conflict, the Ferguson Syndicate would be honored for it's war effort, and they'd "ally" themselves with many future powerful organizations, like the Fel Empire to boot.

After awhile, Jacob and Brody abandoned the Syndicate to meander into nothingness, and decided to focus on getting back to Earth 616 to reestablish order within their beloved Italian Empire. They would continue to wander about the Main Universe for about two thousand more years.

Eventually Marn returned to the Multiverse after four thousand years of recovery due to his crushing defeat at the hands of Sheev-3PO during the Italian Civil War. Upon seeing the treachery that Satan did upon the Empire, and what happened with all it's leaders, Marn decided to make things right. He immediately brought Jacob and Brody back to Earth 616, and caste Beelzebub and Azrael out of their bodies, completely obliterating them. Marn then reformed the vessel of Ferguson, who was previously cast into Oblivion by the deceptive Dark Lord.

The last thing he did was personally cast Satan into The Empty, leaving Hell without a ruler. Jacob elected to take the mantle as ruler of Hell, starting his reign as the new King of Hell. The demons in Hell wouldn't even dream of rebelling against their new ruler, seeing as he once personally slayed millions upon millions. Jacob, seeing that Hell might need some extra management, named Brody the Prince of Hell.

### **The war of Chaos**

Shortly after Jacob's ascension to the Throne of Hell, he was visited by the Dark Underlord, ruler of the chaos realm. The Dark Underlord remarked that he was surprised that a "mere human" was the ruler of Hell, but that he was very powerful with the dark side of the Force. Jacob explained that despite their past quarrel's, they didn't need to be enemies, and that they could from an alliance and help each other if need be. The Dark Underlord responded by gathering a legion of Sith and assaulting Hell with them. This marked the beginning of the War of Chaos, and though the war lasted only a few weeks, it was extremely destructive.

It ended with the Dark Underlord fleeing back to chaos with his tail between his legs. Jacob and Brody, amused at his lamentable failure, decided to leave things alone, as they were not intimidated by his forces. However, Brody did task Johnny with reopening the portal back into Chaos so they could conquer it for good. The war was over, but all the sith weren't entirely defeated, as numerous sith hid out in Hell after the fighting was done.

A large band of powerful sith discovered a room in the far reaches of Hell that contained doors that led to other Universes. In turn, many sith returned to living worlds all throughout the Multiverse, and, using essence transfer, formed living vessels. An unusual amount of sith returned to life in the body of a porg, one of them being Darth Plagueis. While many thousands of sith escaped into the Multiverse, many more were hounded down by demons and imprisoned in Hell's Dungeon for an eternity of torture. One of the spirits, that of Darth Maul, was captured and imprisoned for thousands of years.

### **Ruling Hell**

Jacob ruled Hell with an iron fist, much like Satan once had. Every so often, Jacob would have to make an example out of the ones who disobeyed policy. Jacob personally became good friends with Hades, ruler of the Underworld. He explained to Hades about the Italian Empire and how he was one of the main rulers within it. Hades was glad to be friends with such a powerful ally, and promised to lend the Empire help if they ever needed it.

During the time, the Italian Empire was busy hunting down the remnants of all the sith that escaped out into the Multiverse. Jacob, aware of how they accomplished this, stationed his most powerful and loyal demons to guard the room that contained the rifts into the Multiverse.

It displeased Jacob that he was to busy with the affairs of Hell to personally help out his friends with the sith. Fortunately that changed when Brody allowed himself to be killed so that he could travel down to Hell and ask Jacob for aid against Darth Vitiate and his dark reign over the Mushroom Kingdom. Jacob and Brody gathered a powerful army of Maroni men, backed by a plethora of the finest demons Hell had to offer, and stormed the mushroom kingdom, easily crushing Vitiate's forces. When his soul traveled down to Hell, the Maronis tossed him in the Sith Prison that Jacob constructed.

### **The war of the underworlds**

Jacob, Brody, and Don Fergsuon were playing Russian Roulette with a group of Chinese gamblers at the palace, when they received a very urgent message from Hades. It said that Zeus, backed by many other Greek Gods, were waging war against all forms of Hell. The Italian Empire couldn't afford to have Hell overrun by the cretinous fool of a god Zeus, so it was decided that they would personally eliminate the threat, and seeing as things have been mundane following the war of chaos thousands of years prior, this war was a godsend.

The dons Brody and Ferguson gave word to all imperial forces spread throughout the Multiverse to make way to the imperial palace to convene and make war plans. Brody personally ordered Jacob to ally all of Hell's forces with that of Hades forces. Before Jacob made his way to Hell, Conker and Johnny arrived to wish their friend good luck in rallying the demons, and they shook hands. Jacob felt a slight tremor in the force as he parted ways with Johnny and Conker, he wrote it off as a minor premonition of no significance, and with that, he traveled down to his fiery domain.

In hell, Jacob gave a passionate speech to all demons atop his palace, instilling them with a rage fueled blood lust against the foolish Gods that sought to destroy them. Since Jacob was now a ruler of a form of afterlife, that granted him the ability to open portals to other embodiment's of them, and after he was finished with his speech, he opened one into the underworld with the intent of getting Hades up to speed. About ten thousand demons followed him into the Underworld, the rest stayed in Hell to keep guard.

While in the underworld, Hades welcomed and informed Jacob that Zeus's forces were trying the pierce the veil between their respective dimensions. Jacob tasked his demons to help thwart the potential invasion. After Jacob's army scurried away to a likely doom, Hades brought him to his lair, where they would share wine and meat and speak of the matter at hand.

Jacob, after about three wines in addition to taming the Hellhound, Cerberus, was given word from the Don Ferguson that the imperial army had been fully amassed, and that they were ready to go to battle. With the help of Hades, Jacob was able to construct a portal leading to the imperial italian palace, where all the most infamous and powerful allies were awaiting, along with a massive legion of Maroni and Ferguson men. With the portal complete, Jacob opened another one to Hell, allowing millions of his demons to swarm through it.

Amidst the chaos, Jacob found himself in the presence of Georgie and Big Paulie, who he hadn't seen in a long time. Jacob told them that their powerful demonic sorcery would be of great use in the war to come, then he left to go smoke his daily cigar with Tony.

When Jacob and Tony were about halfway through their cigars, they were confronted by Cerberus, who had taken a queer liking to the curly haired ruler of Hell. Almost momentarily later, full scale war broke out as Zeus's forces successfully infiltrated the underworld. Zeus himself personally led the assault, felling countless demons and mafia men. His attacks ended when he was intercepted by Hades himself, the two would clash for most of the war.

Jacob, seeing the chance to finally let off some steam, mounted Cerberus and majestically rode him into battle, and with their combined effort, fought with the force of a hurricane. Elsewhere on the battlefield, Brody and Ferguson were locked in a duel with Hermes, while Tony had just finished killing Hypnos, but was temporarily knocked out when struck by lightning conjured by Zeus. Abruptly the battle was thrown into utter chaos, as Poseidon summoned a massive sea of water that engulfed everything. Poseidon's plan was simple, he intended to use the storming ocean to wash all inhabitants of the battle through the rift and into Mount Olympus, where the gods would have the tactical advantage.

His plan worked, and the fight was brought to their domain. In a bold attempt to defeat the watery wizard, Johnny and Conker along with thousands of elite Maroni mercenaries stormed in his direction to take care of the threat. Poseidon easily wiped out all of the fodder, leaving only Conker and Johnny, who were simultaneously killed when he impaled both of them with his Trident. This unfortunate occurrence grabbed the unwanted attention of Jacob, Georgie, and Big Paulie, who were all empowered by rage and hatred. They proceeded to trade vicious blows with Poseidon, evenly matching him. That was until his three sisters, Athena, Artemis, and Nike intervened.

Jacob, Paulie, and Georgie, seeing that they were at a massive disadvantage, quickly scurried away to a different part of the war. At once, Jacob realized that since he was immortal, he could perform outstanding life-ending feats, only to return to Hell and make his way back. Jacob used force telepathy to give word to Brody and the Don Ferguson of his master plan. Ferguson, upon hearing this, communed back to Jacob and Brody the brilliance of the plan, but that only one of them could be dead at a time due to the fifteen minutes it would take for any one of them to return, and that with two or three of them missing, the war would surely be lost.

Jacob was the first to kill himself in a blaze of glory, expending all of his powers and life force into a monstrous force imbued explosion that wiped out many tens of thousands of angels, along with outright killing Nike and Ares. The angels and other Gods saw this as a great threat, and turned up the heat. When Jacob returned, he saw that the tide of battle was immensely shifting in Zeus's favor. Luckily, that was when Ferguson sacrificed himself in the same manner, completely obliterating Nemesis and Hephaestus, and badly injuring Poseidon.

Unfortunately that wasn't enough to turn the momentum of the battle, Jacob saw this. He also saw that Brody was about to be killed by Hermes, and that just wouldn't do, so he immersed himself deep into the speed force, deeper than he had ever dared to go, and bounded in the direction of his friend. Jacob safely removed Brody from danger, and Hermes, seeing his miraculous show of speed, took it as a challenge, and so he tailed Jacob.

Hermes was very impressed, as he had never previously seen this kind of speed. Eventually Jacob reached such an insane velocity that not even Hermes could catch up, and at some point, Jacob inadvertently ran straight through the head of Zeus, instantaneously killing the king of the gods. Jacob's next intention was to decimate Mount Olympus, and he did so by circling the structure. Hermes witnessed this, and actually fainted trying to keep up with the figure of Jacob with his eyes.

Jacob, who was traveling so fast, started to see billions of flickering images in space and time, and in a sudden flash, disappeared into the speed force itself.

### **A journey within the Speed Force**

When Jacob first arrived in the speed force, he immediately took notice of the swirling torrents of time and energy in which he was immersed. As he starting moving around, he saw infinite universes come and pass by. Jacob tried to pass into a random universe, but he was unable to do so, and at once realized that he was trapped in the realm.

After wandering aimlessly for some time, Jacob stumbled into a part of the speed force that would warp itself into a future instance, much like a dream, but more accurately a vision. The first thing he witnessed was a very powerful witch-like lady (who actually turns out to be Grista) raising Barb and Cyrus from the dead, as well as enchanting them with newfound power. A curious Jacob attempted to take out the three beings, but couldn't do so, as some force kept him from moving any closer to the specters.

All of a sudden space and time warped again, and he was subject to a new vision. In this vision, he saw the same witch from before, except that was wearing a robe with the sigil of the Illuminati on it. He also saw all of the beings that she had amassed under her rule, this show of might actually gave Jacob a bit of a spook, as he could sense that they would one day be enemies of the Italian Empire. Jacob decided that he didn't in the least enjoy these foresight's into the future, so he attempted to escape them, but quickly realized that he was frozen in place.

The next vision was one of the Italian Empire in flames, followed by another one of him and Brody trying to destroy each other. Jacob's final vision was the only one that wasn't of the future, but had to do more with his origin. It was of a dark and shadowy apparition ensnaring Jacob within it's grasp.

Nearly an instant later, Jacob was saved from these visions by none other than Gar himself, who relayed to him that he wasn't supposed to bear witness to anything he had just witnessed, but that the future is always in motion. This comforted Jacob, but still unbeknownst as to whom he was speaking to, he asked out of curiosity. Gar formally introduced himself, telling Jacob that he is God as well as all forms of the Force. He also told Jacob that he had been watching him for a long time, which was a lie, but Gar thought it would make him sound more Godly.

Jacob was astonished, as he had heard a lot about Gar from Fred and Benubi, but never thought he'd actually meet him. After a moment's thought, Jacob gracefully thanked Gar for the service he did upon him, telling him that he owed him one. Gar did tell Jacob that there was one thing he could do for him, but it required that they leave the speed force and go back in time, which was something Gar could easily make possible. Jacob excepted, but asked what needed to be done. All Gar said was "Come, all answers will be... revealed".

Jacob and Gar traveled back in time to approximately fifty years after the great flood on Earth 616. Gar told Jacob that on this earth there was a woman he had a crush on, but could never build up the courage to talk to her, and that he required a third wheel. Jacob complied, and later that night at a bar in Italy, they went to work.

After about an hour, Gar passed out after drinking to much, leaving Jacob to do the task alone. After confirming that Gar would be out for the better part of a week, Jacob decided it best that he lay with the woman in Gar's stead, and he did, along with several others and impregnating all of them.

The next morning Gar woke up, much to Jacob's surprise, and asked him if everything went according to plan. Jacob lied and told him yes. Pleased with his work, Gar delivered himself and Jacob back into the speed force as not to alter history anymore than it needed to be. Nine months later, Gar's crush would give birth to Tony Riccotoni Macaroni Bologna Maroni, making his blood father Jacob.

For the next couple hundred years inside the speed force, Jacob and Gar would form a meaningful bond. Gar even taught Jacob how to play catch. One day while Jacob and Gar were taking turns raping a female speedster, Marn broke into the speed force with Brody. Gar, upon seeing Marn, thought he was in trouble, and escaped through a pocket dimension. Jacob reacted by asking them why they took this long to retrieve him. Marn told him that time works differently within the Speed Force, and in reality he was only missing for about a month.

Brody let Jacob know that he would have broken into the speed force himself if Marn hadn't explicitly forbidden him from doing so. Marn put in, saying that he deserved a couple hundred years in the speed force as punishment for being so reckless with his powers, but that apparently that didn't stop him from having fun with bad influences such as Gar, indicating at the distressed rape victim, which Marn destroyed out of pity, but not before he and Brody had a couple go's. When they returned, Jacob thought he saw a dark figure in the corner of his eye, much like what he had seen during his visions. He turned to look and it was gone, and Jacob passed it off as a simple trick of the mind, but in truth it was something much more sinister.

### **Where the hell is Brody?**

Many thousands of years came and went, and along with them, inactivity. There hadn't been any huge wars in countless millennia, and Jacob was becoming bored to the point of tears. After killing himself millions of times over in various ways, one of them even involving Fred turning him into a peanut butter sandwich and eating him, he started to even tire of that.

Eventually he decided to hit up Brody so that they might partake in foolish antics, but was met with no response. Jacob decided to check the palace, once again he was nowhere to be found. When Jacob stumbled upon Tony, he asked him where he last saw Brody. Tony could't really recall, as he had spent the last couple weeks partying hard with Ferguson. The truth was that he was only at the palace to get some beer and food. Finding no answers from Tony, Jacob angrily walked off.

After about three hours of burying his sorrows in a river of vodka, Jacob decided to enlist the help of Marn, who told him that last he heard he was hunting down a sith by the name of Andeddu in some place called Kansas. Marn decided to teleport them there, where all they found was a the wreckage left behind by a recent twister. Marn reached out with his feelings across the entire Multiverse in search of Brody, but didn't sense his presence anywhere. He told Jacob that it was as if Brody had vanished altogether, like he was a new being entirely.

Upon hearing this, Jacob shouted many Power Words into the wind with the intention of destroying universes, but with the strong presence of Marn, and the fact that they were in the Earth 616 universe, the likelihood of that happening were less than absolute zero. Frustrated, Jacob returned to Hell, but not before crying on the shoulder of Marn for about fifteen minutes.

In the following decades, Jacob would gather massive teams in search of his lost friend, but eventually gave up. It wasn't until Brody was eventually killed and sent to Hell that they reunited. Together, they traveled back to the imperial Italian palace, where Brody started frantically going off about rescuing his daughters, and saving his kingdom of Oz from the clutches of evil. Jacob could hardly believe his ears, apparently Brody had become a hero in another universe, and wanted to save some insignificant backwater kingdom. That wouldn't do, so Jacob knocked him out, and with the assistance of his good friend Benubi, had all of his memories of Oz erased.

Later when he woke up, Jacob lied and said that they found him lying unconscious in a barn. Brody said the last he remembered was getting drunk after defeating Andeddu, and Jacob said that he had been in a coma ever since.
