Jakob (By Liam)

Jarkko is a supporting character in Uriah. He is a prisoner and was part of the group of five people who planned the prison break.

## Appearance

Jarkko has ginger hair, a thick beard, and greyish-blue eyes. He is of larger build than other prisoners and the main protagonists. He wears a prison uniform and later sports a beige jacket.

## Personality

Jarrko is friendly, compassionate, and level-headed person. He was initially part of the group of prison escapees but decided to remain pacifistic, and went separate ways with those who sought revenge for Elias. Jarkko was imprisoned for murder, and killed someone for revenge. He deeply regrets his actions and tries to discourage Ellis from doing the same to Bo.

After Tristan is murdered by Liam, Jarkko decides to stick with them to protect Thumbless. He sees Thumbless as an innocent child and wishes to help him escape the island. He prioritizes Thumbless' well being over his own safety and treats him kindly.

## **Background**

Jarkko was a truck driver with a daughter named Filippa. He ran someone over with his vehicle, believing them to be the one who killed his daughter. Jarkko seems to be unaware that his daughter is still alive.

## Relationships

### Tristan

Tristan is one of Jarkko's prison mates and was part of the initial prison break group. He is the only one who decided to remain pacifistic with Jarkko, while the other prisoners sought revenge for Elias. They shared the same ideals and briefly travelled together while looking for a way off the prison island. Jarkko refers to Tristan as his friend, and resents Liam for killing him. When saying his farewells to Tristan, Jarkko tearfully says that he didn't even like Tristan, and calls him a stubborn shithead. However, he states how he admired that Tristan was able to maintain order and had cool octopus tattoos.

### Liam

Jarkko resents Liam for killing Tristan. He question's Liam's character as he kills people seemingly without remorse, and didn't call the police to help the prisoners or Thumbless. He remarks how Liam has a trust issues and lack of empathy for killing his friend, and telling him to "cover potential evidence". Jarkko is very suspicious of Liam and Camilla, and leaves a written SOS at the church so that someone will help him and Thumbless. When Melker and Ellis ask Jarkko what happened to Tristan, he lies and tells them that he was shot trying to steal a gun. Knowing that these two may try to seek revenge for Tristan, Jarkko instead introduces Liam as a friend. After Liam finds out that Jarkko has been leaving SOS notes, the two begin to argue again. Liam tells him that what happens on the island isn't his problem, but Jarkko angrily tells him that he is involved as well because he killed Tristan. The two come to an agreement after Ellis calls them out for their constant bickering. Jarkko tries to assure Liam that Nathalie is safe, and the two share the sentiment about worrying for their families.
