## Biography

### Season 6

Jacob Warner is introduced as the new US Attorney after the NYPD lets Tameika go. Saxe enters Warner's office to try to introduce himself to him but Warner already knows who he is. Saxe tells him that he was partially responsible for Angela's death as he leaked information about Angela being a possible witness although she wasn't. Warner threatens to have Saxe arrested but gives him a chance when he mentions that he believes he can convict James, Tommy and all of their associates. Warner however tells Saxe that if he doesn't manage to pull this off then his career will be over. Later on, James is brought in for questioning and Warner is present along with Saxe and Donovan. James insists that he didn't kill Angela and that he doesn't know who did.

Sometime later, Warner tells Saxe that Donovan has been killed. He says that Donovan was caught in Jimenez Cartel crossfire at a safehouse along with Dre but Dre survived. Warner tells Saxe that Alicia Jimenez must be convicted and he needs to find out what happened.

In King's Gambit, he discusses Maria Suarez's murder with Saxe and Blanca Rodriguez. Saxe tells Warner that he had Dre acting as an undercover criminal informant and James visited Maria's apartment with Dre however James didn't kill her, instead offering her money to leave town. Warner mentions to Saxe that Lindsay Proctor also died from an overdose, then soon after he and Saxe visit Proctor to ask him about it. However what Jacob doesn't know is that Saxe placed an illegal recording device on Elisa-Marie's backpack which now included a recording of Proctor letting Lindsay die, and he took the device to later blackmail Proctor, which is why he wanted to visit Proctor in the first place.

Warner and Blanca Rodriguez later find out about this and Saxe gets fired, plus Warner threatens to put him behind bars. Blanca works with Saxe behind Warner's back, and Blanca manages to get LaKeisha Grant to testify against Tommy which she tells Warner. She also tells him that she has information about how Saxe pressured Dre into giving him information, which Warner looks happy about. After beginning to investigate into Terry Silver's murder, Warner discovers that Saxe was involved in planting Silver's cell phone at the hotel James was staying at. He also discovers that Blanca and Saxe were working together behind his back, and he says that Saxe's presence jeopardises everything as he isn't law enforcement.

However, Warner and Blanca later meet with Judge Tapper and he tells the judge about Silver's cell phone being found during a search of James' hotel. He knows this was planted but still wants James' to be arrested. Paz later meets with Warner and suggests to let her wear a wire as she visits James at Truth. Warner agrees to this but James doesn't say anything that could be used against him.

Warner is soon sacked from the NYPD and Saxe gets his job back after a turn of events. Warner is unhappy to see Saxe at the precinct and curses at him before leaving.
