Being a true Heartlander, Jacob was born in a small house in Helena. His mother died during childbirth, and left him to live with his dad who was a cobbler. Jacob learned to fend for himself at an early age. He often fought with other boys, stole apples from markets, etc. His first job at the age of 15 was helping a cook at the local Inn. There he learned a good deal about cooking, and kept it as a hobby ever since. His father thought him that the best thing to do in life is to become an expert artisan in your passions. So Jacob left the city often to search for herbs and spices to experiment cooking at home. He tought himself how to cook city birds, make Bladderwort soup, and even brew beer out of wild hops. When he turned 20, he organised a street party, and cooked for all his friends. However, he didn't pay attention to the fire, and before he knew, his father's house burned to ash. Stricken with shame and guilt, Jacob left Helena to go east and find a new place to live, and hopefully start a tavern some day. He now wanders the roads of Arcas, collecting herbs along the way, making campfires and cooking delicious meals out in the wild.
