Jacob Black is a shape-shifter or "werewolf" of the Quileute tribe, Beta of the Uley pack, He had his first wolf phase at the age of sixteen and is now seventeen. Jacob heavily dislikes vampires like the rest of his pack, and tries his best to warn his crush Bella Swan after she gets with Edward Cullen— even trying to fight for her love. However, upon realizing Bella loves Edward more, he accidentally imprints on Maxine, his childhood friend, and is beginning to slowly but surely fall for her.

Jacob Black was born to Billy and Sarah Black. Throughout childhood and adolescence, Jacob's three best friends were Embry Call, Quil Ateara V, and Maxine Flowers. All three attended school on the La Push reservation, except Maxine, who went to the public La Push school. During childhood, he and his sisters, Rachel and Rebecca along with Maxine were sometimes acquainted with Charlie Swan's daughter, Bella, though they never became real friends and Bella remained mostly in California and Phoenix. He is extremely close to Maxine.

When he was 9 years old, his mother Sarah died in a tragic car crash, although he recovered from the pain better than his sisters did, thanks to Maxine comforting him. Rebecca married a man named Solomon Finau and moved to Hawaii, while Rachel moved away to attend Washington State University as soon as she finished high school. Since his sisters were away, he became his father's only company at home, especially after he became wheel-chair bound due to diabetes. However, he did not resent taking care of his dad; in fact, he enjoyed his father's company, though he refused to believe in his family legends and traditions. When the Cullens first moved to Forks, Jacob did not understand his father's aversion. After a while, he began tuning out most of what his father said.

Jacob is a long-time close family friend of Bella due to both of their fathers, Billy and Charlie being best friends. He meets Bella for the first time after she moved back to Forks when she and some of her schoolmates spent a day on First Beach, where Jacob and his friends encountered them. After Bella flirts with him (as a way to extract information from him about the Cullens), he introduces the idea of Edward and his family being vampires by telling her the Quileute legends on the topic. Bella feels guilty for using him this way but finds him easy to talk to and very friendly. After Bella and Edward began dating, Billy takes Jacob to Bella to advise her against it, without, however, telling her why. She already knows. He is later seen crashing Forks High's prom under his father's orders to reiterate the same warning.

Months after Edward and his family leave Forks in New Moon, Bella becomes very close to Jacob, who comforts her during her hardship by trying to cheer her up by engaging in various different activities including motor-bike riding. Jacob helps her to become somewhat happy and normal again, though she still deeply misses Edward. New Moon reveals that Jacob is one of an ancient line of Quileute werewolves. Despite her jealousy, Maxine sticks close by to Jacob during this time, and doesn’t know about his heritage of being a werewolf.

They are the mortal enemies of all vampires, including the Cullen family. At first, Jacob thinks all this is a bunch of superstition, and he becomes frightened and disturbed by the influence a young man on the reservation, Sam Uley, has on some of the Quileute youth, especially after his best friend, Embry Call, joined them and cut contact with his other friends. After Jacob went through an unexpected transformation into a werewolf, it is revealed that Sam, the pack's leader, was the first to make the transformation in several generations. He'd gone through his own hardships during the change, including a rather bloody incident with his fiancée, Emily Young.

As werewolves are short-tempered, highly violent, and likely to explode into wolf form when angered, Jacob is initially forbidden by Sam to see Bella and Maxine in order to protect them from him. One week later, Bella visits him at his home, and he tells her off, saying that he now knows about the Cullens being vampires. He and his new friends patrol the forest, searching for vampires that have been killing hikers in the area. Jacob and the pack save Bella from the vampire Laurent (from Twilight), who was trying to kill her. Before the over-sized wolves chase him off, Laurent tells Bella that Victoria (also from Twilight) wants revenge on Edward for killing her mate, James, by killing his and make him experience the same pain that she felt, i.e. Bella. Jacob continues to keep his secret and the knowledge of vampires from Maxine, wanting her to live a normal peaceful life.

Eventually, Edward comes back and Bella chooses him over Jacob, breaking his heart and causing him to crash at Maxine’s to try and get over her— which causes him to accidentally imprint on her and have a strong bond towards her.
