(I never really got to play this character from Utti Asefet but I liked the idea of him so I am going to rewrite his history in a context that makes sense)

Equipment
Revolver w/ no ammo
Various summer clothing
Several Time Magazines
An ancient Aztec medallion (worn)
Aviator glasses (worn)
Casual clothing (worn)
Appearance: Jacob has dirty blonde hair and stands about 6 feet tall. There is nothing striking about his blue-grey eyes and he is the sort of person you see in a crowd and forget a second later. This has always been advantageous in his chosen profession.
Personality: Jacob is a very calculating person, he is also quite sarcastic and many who have known him would use the term prick to describe him. He always has a comment or snide remark to drop especially to authority figures. He has a special dislike for police and has a tendency to provoke them but his knowledge of law keeps him out of trouble. If people stay on Jacob's good side he can be rather pleasent... it's just very hard to get on that side. He also carries a side arm that he never intends to use, mostly because he doesn't carry ammo with it but his bluffs have got him out of a few scary situations before. Jacob also has no morality with stealing, or selling information to others. He takes breaks between thefts in Arkham and this is how he got to know PI who he sells information to on his "off season".
History: Jacob grew up in Alert Ontario, Canada. His father was in the military and away half the time and his mother was an alcoholic so Jacob got free reign from a very young age. There wasn't much to do there as a kid so he took to stealing things. It started small like candy and drinks from the corner store and by the time he was 16 he was breaking into house and stealing jewelery, and doing quite well at it. One night he slipped up and got badly beaten by the cops but managed to get away. He left his home and went to Toronto where he stayed for next 14 years. It was a great place for him to stay; large airport nearby, rich houses in the vicinity and a large enough population that nobody knew or cared who he was or what he was doing. Through the public library Jacob got most of his education since he never finished high school but he knows more about some things then people who get their degrees. After doing one job a fencer he knew got him into stealing ancient relics from collectors and the rich is a very profitable way to make money if the potential buyer has enough cash. The PI knows that Jacob is a criminal of some sort but he doesn't know the value or type of activity he is involved in.
Currently: Looking for a fencer to put up some 17th century Royal Chinese dishware he stole on a trip to Portland. Arkham is where Jacob takes breaks between "jobs" and he has a small apartment off the main street.
(I am ready to start playing on this character, I just need to adjust some stats and clean up the back history so it makes more sense.)
