Jacob Quade (MLTO)

### Cause of Death

Throat crushed by Aurelia Moonglow  *(Alive)* Stabbed twice in the head by Aurelia Moonglow  *(Undead)*

### Status

Deceased

**Jacob Quade** was a minor character and an Antagonist in "*MLIV:TO*".

A former classmate and good friend of Geralt Kaos who willingly joined the dark side after witnessing many acts of terror, he has become a shell of his former self. Normally a timid and quiet individual, this harmless child was turned into a lethal engine of destruction, seeking nothing more than sweet vengeance for what happened to him... from the wrong people.

He serves as an influential Antagonist in *Chapter IV*.

## Personality

As mentioned above, Jacob used to be a very timid young man in his school years. He often tried to avoid any contact with most people, got scared at the slightest signs of danger and was afraid to help people out when something bad happened, fearing that he might be dragged down with them. All of those feelings disappeared during his first meeting with Marcus Redmark, when the evil emperor saw the potential within the young man and offered him the chance to make an *actual* difference in the world. He has been evil and deceitful ever since.

Nowadays, Jacob acts as a cold and ruthless individual, devoid of any positive emotions like happiness and serenity. He is always on the move and executes those who dare to defy his master in little more than the blink of an eye. He always blames others for his own misfortunes, often making up reasons that are not even associated with them. And if they dare to speak back against him, he uses the rage that he kept in control for many years to decimate them.

Jacob does not bother cleaning up after performing his grotesque missions. He often leaves his victims' bodies on the ground for others to see and does not care whether the murders will be traced back to him or not. All that he wants to do is to leave grim warnings for other unfortunates and warn them that he is always near.

## Death

### Killed By

* Aurelia Moonglow *(Alive and Undead)*

Infuriated by Jacob's actions, Aurelia crashes the court session that would have determined his fate, deciding that she should punish him herself.

Without wasting any time, she attacks the young evildoer and stabs him in the stomach. When he grabs her weapon and attempts to fight back, her rage grows even stronger and she uses her strength to stab him many times.

After delivering the final blow by crushing his neck with her weapon, Aurelia watches as the villain falls to the ground and dies from his wounds, killed in a very brutal manner by the sister of the young hero that he mercilessly slaughtered with his own hands, receiving a proper punishment for his actions.

Once he reanimates after his demise, Aurelia takes this as a second chance to punish him. She pulls out the same blade that she used when he was alive and stabs him twice in the head, putting the young evildoer down for good.

## Killed Victims

* Edward Moonglow *(Alive)*
* Many unnamed humans
