Jakob Mercer had been born to a peasant family in the Kingdom of Kaedrin. He lived a very simplistic lifestyle, feasting on bread and wine with his family. His mother and father grew up poor, too, but loved Jakob very much. As his father and mother were small merchants, they took a galleon to the Baruch Keep to do some trade. The ship sank, and both perished. Jakob had been evicted from his house as he was no longer able to pay the taxes. His parents grew up during the War of the Two Emperors, and survived, therefore giving Jakob resilience and hope of finding another family. He trotted over to Haense, where he met Clement Devonshire. Clement Devonshire had taken him into his house at Petyr’s Passage. He also met his cousin Johanna Roquetelet, and the trio lived together. During his time in Haense, Clement brought Jakob to Ekaterinburg Palace where he learnt gentlemen etiquette, and other manners, as Clement worked in the Palace. He worked for Johanna as a house servant, as she was ill frequently. Clement later died, and Johanna moved to Savinia, where the two remain today. Jakob, after seeing loss, and happiness, wants to help others in the new city and for it to develop. His life goal is to be able to help develop Savinia under Johanna’s wing and thus create a strong bond between the new community.
