Tough he denies when asked, Jacob was born on Planet New London under the wealth of a family of lawyers and money brookers - The ████████████. His mother died on his birth, however, and since the father remained away due to his work ethics Jacob grew up by himself. It is suggested that is for this reason that he seems so taken into working alone.
During his teenage years he was forced into college by his family - it was then that Fade got engaged into pro-environment protests. He eventually left University ████████████, specifically after one of the teachers was found dead, staked to a plastic plant in her own room.
He kept engaged into creating disturbances, moving ever so slightly towards aggressive behavior, until 812 A.S. when a confront forced him to go missing. The vessel he used to escape was severely damaged and found vacant on space two days later and it is presumed the group Nature Last Hope had found him. By the end of that year, Jacob was evidently a member, participating on active assaults against BMM transports and deals with the Corsairs.
When the group was successfully put down by the BPA, he went missing again.
Adulthood
Three years later, in 815 A.S., he returned to London under a new forged identity. Having entered politics alongside a teacher called Prof. Stephan Hartheim, it is believed that during this time Jacob gathered information and intelligence on Lawful Forces operations. Finally, around 818 A.S. he was finally found by ████████ out during the first Gallia Incursions but managed to flee during said events.
Even if GRN's pressure came to dismantle The Underloch, another Gaian movement who had risen at that time, it is attributed to him the creation and dispersing of massive propaganda. A few years later, however, he once again faded into obscurity one last time.
Intelligence states Jacob remained away for at least six years, in a somewhat self imposed exile. A cryptic message to the remnants of the Underloch was eventually discovered pointing that he had been seen talking to himself, hearing things no else could. "The Wind", as he called these, seemed to wish him far away. It is the belief of the BPA that he was probably into a lot of cardim-caradi-carma- heavy drugs.
During these years, Fade supposedly lived alone on a heavily modified ship, identified as the Chun'Infernalis (What in the actual hell do these stoners consume.). Records of these times are sketchy, but intelligence points towards the unusual relations with the Corsairs and the Commonwealth of Liberty for supplies.
Unfortunately, he was recently seen again in Bretonia. Some bogus reports have mentioned some absurd nonsense, but far more accurate ones specify with extreme terror the events that precursed the destruction of several transport and mining vessels.
Characteristics
Avoidance:
•Having avoided prolonged capture for so long, it is of extreme importance to realize where and how he is moving when confronted - unarmed or not. His remarkable skill for fleeing and an alias that mocks the fact have therefore led the BPA to suggest changing his IFF to Coward instead.
Engineering:
•Albeit prone to misbehavior, Jacob's grades on Engineering were always considerably higher than the standard. It's unknown if this stems from interest, cheating or some mental disability, but fact remains that he knows how to meddle, sabotage and alter engine specifications far more than what his education indicates.
