Biography

Jacob was born on Eden Prime, twenty-six years before the geth attacked it. He did his time in the Alliance Navy, born of a desire to see more than the fields and arcologies of his home world. Born two years after the First Contact War he was raised on a distrust of turians, though upon his honorable discharge from the Navy after five years of service he fell in with a turian by the name of Tyre Soranis. The two hit it off right away and became an unlikely sight on the Citadel, a sight which got them into fights with either human or turian groups more than once. Regardless, in 2170 they decided to take advantage of their military training and form a mercenary group.

Though the White Swords as they would be named started small, by 2183 they had swollen to their current size as the group began to amass a reputation for being honorable, disciplined, and loyal to their contractors. The group participated in many conflicts throughout both Citadel Space and the Terminus Systems, participating in conflicts such as the Anhur Rebellions on the abolitionist side, and the Siege of Torfan for the Alliance.

In the years before the Reaper War, the White Swords found themselves in a sort of rut. Though a contract with the Alliance providing security for Eden Prime filled the paychecks of the men, and other such contracts in the Terminus Systems during the Collector Crisis did the same, the White Swords longed for another war where they could really show their stuff. They got their wish in the Reaper War, when the Reapers descended on Advent, their base planet for the past ten years. The rest of the planet's military was slaughtered in the first few days, the White Swords themselves only managing to hold out through a combination of paranoid preparations, sheer firepower, and the concealment of their fleet on the surface of Advent's single moon, waiting until the Reaper force's lone capital ship had left through the relay before launching an orbital counterattack.

Now, with the Reapers out of the way, the White Swords have taken advantage of Advent's devastation. Declaring themselves the premiere military authority, they've set up a junta to run the planet and keep order in the traumatic years after the war, while the planet rebuilds.

Jacob himself is a calm man, normally graceful under fire unless something is very wrong. He trusts Tyre to be his field commander while Jacob handles overall command, and the two are essentially inseparable. Jacob has brown eyes and brown hair, about 6' 6'' and moderately muscled, a classic mercenary.
