"*I'll handle them.*"
―-Jacob to Caligo about the Nether guards

**Jacob Addis** is a member of The Elesett, and he was first introduced as a part of team who kidnapped and tortured Caligo for harming Josie. A few months afterward, he visited Taraxacum and found out that Josie visited the village regularly. This inspired him to move in, in the hopes he'd get to see her more often. Unfortunately, after the Elesett attacked Tellum and Niara, Jacob was kicked out of Taraxacum. Now, he accompanies Kai on his travels.

## Appearance

Jacob has black fluffy hair that conceals his eyes completely, often making his expression unreadable. He typically wears dark clothes, such as hoodies and sweaters or any other attire that is easy to move around in. Jacob has an earring fashioned out of paperclips dangling from one ear and typically has several chain necklaces hanging from his neck, along with thick rings. On his pale skin, hints of tattoos can be seen winding up his arms and sprawling across his chest. When his emerald eyes are revealed, they are said to be soft, gentle, and often brimming with emotion.

## Personality

Jacob is intelligent, determined, and dedicated. He repays debts and favors, and he is extremely loyal. He is quite a selfless and protective person by nature; however, he works to hide those traits for he believes they will only bring him pain. He has grown to be very independent and hold a lot of pessimistic views about the world around him. Furthermore, he is shown to be quick to anger and he hosts a willingness to be cruel. He can be very intense, a side effect of his headstrong nature. Despite his somewhat oppositional habits, he is almost always willing to lend a hand when someone needs it, and he's more sensitive and caring than he'd like to admit.

## Biography

Until he was sixteen, Jacob lived with his family in a village named Trahebat. His family consisted of his father, mother, and cousin. His cousin, Kimberly Doze, had lived with them for several years and she was akin to a sibling to Jacob. He lived out a typical life where he pursued his hobbies and interest in engineering and mechanics. Unfortunately, their village was prone to harsh weather and storms. One particularly vicious tornado tore through the village, and their home caved in. Jacob's parents were crushed in the wreckage. They used their last wishes to rescue Jacob and Kim from the destruction. Josie Roka, acting out her job as the god of death, brought them to safety. To this day, Jacob holds a deep admiration and respect for Her Reverence. He is endlessly grateful for her work and is devoted to repaying his perceived debt to her.

Jacob clung to Kimberly, his only remaining family. They travelled together for a while. However, eventually they had a disagreement over where to go next. A great battle of wills played out, and it resulted in their relationship being completely shattered. They fell out and parted ways. From this event, Jacob learned that the only person he can afford to be concerned about is himself. He also learned that no matter how you try to hold onto and help someone, bad things will inevitably happen to them in the end. These are beliefs that he still holds with him today.

Finally, at seventeen, he stumbled upon Praesidium and crossed paths with Krasue. He discovered that there were people like him- people who held the Delegation in high regard and wished to serve them. Without hesitation, he buried himself in the Elesett. The people there treated him like family, and he grew to care for them in turn. Peanut in particular took Jacob under her wing. She took up a motherly role in his life and taught him how to speak, as well as practicing sign language with him.

Other than members of the Elesett, the only person who has managed to get close to Jacob is Kai. Despite their communication barriers, Jacob feels a deep connection with Kai. For the first time in a long time, Jacob is truly looking forward to the future ahead of him.
