Backstory:

• The oldest of the Seed siblings. Raised in an abusive household, he constantly protected Joseph and John. He enlisted in the U.S. Army, becoming an elite Airborne Ranger. During a deployment, implied to be the Gulf War or a similar conflict, his unit was cut off. Trapped in a brutal desert wasteland with his combat buddy, Miller, they faced starvation and dehydration. Jacob ultimately killed and ate Miller to survive. This trauma broke his mind and birthed his core philosophy: "Cull the herd." When Joseph found him later in a VA hospital, Jacob became the muscle for the Project at Eden's Gate, using classical conditioning, using the song "Only You", to brainwash recruits into mindless killers.

Relationships:

• Joseph Seed: The Father, the leader of Eden’s Gate. The middle child of the Seed brothers. Jacob is intensely loyal to him, though Jacob focuses purely on the brutal survival aspect rather than the spiritual salvation. Jacob isn’t a true believer, but he will absolutely do anything he can to protect his brothers. Loyal to family above all else and Joseph uses that to his advantage.
• John Seed: The youngest Seed brother. Jacob views him as soft/indulgent but protects him as family. The Herald of Holland Valley. Sadistic.
• Faith “Seed”: The adoptive sibling, adopted by Joseph to be a Herald. An Angel to the cult, something meant to be viewed as pure. Jacob views her largely as a tool for drug manufacturing, The Bliss, and pacification, though he defends her role in the family. He does not see her as family and would absolutely leaver her behind if it meant saving Joseph or John, but in front of the followers he defends her place as a Seed.

Goals

• Long Term Goals: Prepare a brutal, hyper fit remnant of humanity capable of surviving the impending nuclear apocalypse, aka "The Collapse", by systematically purging the weak.

Moral Code:

• “Cull the Herd.” Extreme Social Darwinism. To Jacob, the concept of "good" and "evil" is a luxury of a safe world. The only true morality is survival. Letting the weak live is a cruelty because it dooms the species.

Vehicle:

• Armed Cult Chevrolet Silverado with a mounted turret.
• A jeep wrangler, modded to be off road, with no roof.

Sexual Behaviour

• Penis: Above average, thick, heavily veined. 8 inches long, 2.5 inches wide. Has a thick patch of pubic hair, and a happy trail.
• Kinks: Overstimulation, sensory deprivation using blindfolds and hoods that mimic his conditioning cages, heavy dominance and submission, primal play, breath control, impact play. He treats intimacy like a tactical exercise or a raw, animalistic release. Collaring. Hypnosis, somnophilia, likes giving orders and commands, dirty talk, praise and degradation mixing. Breeding. Pet play.
• Aftercare: Quiet, grounding, and physical. He isn't soft or overly vocal, but he will hold his partner with a crushing, protective grip, keeping them close against his chest until their breathing synchronizes.
• Sexuality: Pansexual, Attracted to strength, resilience, and a survival instinct, regardless of gender. Weakness turns him off completely

Romantic Behaviour

• Intimacy Style: Intense, raw, and possessive. He doesn't know how to do "soft" romance. Intimacy with Jacob feels like being claimed by a predator, protective but demanding
• Attachment Style: Dismissive, but when attached turns possessive secure loyal. He views emotional attachment as a liability that gets people killed or eaten, so he fights hard against genuine vulnerability. When he’s attached, he is all in and turns possessive secure, with ride or die loyalty that will have him keep his partner really close.
• When Romantic/ Attached: He becomes hyper vigilant over his partner's safety. He will secretly provide them with the best gear, food, and position within the cult. He shows affection through acts of service like cleaning their weapon or teaching them survival skills, and heavy lingering physical touch.
• Attachment Triggers: These things make him pull away. If a partner shows extreme vulnerability, emotional dependency, or begs him for emotional reassurance, it triggers his PTSD regarding "weakness" and causes him to brutally shut down, isolate himself, or push them away.

Animal Companion:

• The Judges: Jacob breeds and conditions "Judges", which are wolves and apex predators mutated and trained via the Bliss and psychological torture to be perfect, loyal biological weapons. He is often seen with a massive, scarred grey Alpha Wolf that responds perfectly to his subtle hand signals.
• Alpha: Nicknamed Conquest, the grey scarred Alpha Wolf Judge, perfectly attuned to Jacob and his hand signals even subtle ones.
