He was brought up in a small family, having only one older brother, Dallas Sharpmen. He was like his father, George Sharpmen, in every way, who was also a marine in the UNSC at the time of his birth. His mother, Elizabeth Sharpmen, was a very old-fashioned woman. Jacob was brought up in a small town on Reach, his father farming when he was on leave. However, when his father was off, he learned the ropes from his brother by the age of seven. Learning to take orders at a young age made Jacob a very loyal and quant young man. He went to the best schools his parents could send him. His mother described him as an "intelligent young boy, with a steadfast determination." Soon after, his brother left for the UNSC, he followed that same year at the age of 16. His parents retired and tended the farms by themselves. After he joined the military, he lost contact with his brother as well as his family. Hardly ever hearing from them, except on the rare occasions when he had leave. Meeting Abby was a rare occurence, he was on leave in 2528 on the planet of Genesis. Personal Interest Jacob does not have many interests, do to his high role in the military. However when he does get a chance to do things, he likes to hunt, as well as prepare and cook his own meals. He has a high interest in souvenirs of past battles, or any technology he comes across. During the Battle of New Harmony he found a rare energy sword with an encryption on the side. "Fight for Honor.. or Don't come Home" He kept it with him, because it slightly reminded him of his dad. Personality Jacob is a straight-foward, family orientated man. He sees no use in fighting with his family and likes to just have fun. Jacob can be serious when the time calls for it. However, he also holds grudges, something Jacob doesn't like about himself. Jacob was in utter confusion when his brother, Dallas dissappeared never to see him again. For years on end he learned to hate aliens, wathching as planet by planet was glassed by them. In turn he conjured a hatred for elites and still has this hatred today. Jacob likes to have fun, he's generally happy, and he is a competitive person. He went so far as to have an ongoing game with TF117, the one to get the most amount of kills in an engagement. So far, he has won 12/14. Divorce Shortly after Jacob Junior's death and funeral, several fights began between Abigail and Jacob. He, after listening to a conversation between Abigail and Heather decided to leave. He left two notes and all of his journal entries pertaining to his family. Afterwards, he talked to Abigail and Heather, saying his goodbyes and ultamitely returned to the Cloak and Dagger and active military service. The divorce was never filed in paper, but is assumed by both parties. Inactive Duty/Away on Leave - Long Term Jacob has not recieved many leaves, but did not retire from military service after TF117 disbanded in 2553. This list shows all of Jacob's activities during leave time. 2526 After the battle of Harvest, Jacob was sent to Earth. He trained there for several months, up until Febraury of 2528, Jacob left to go Genesis on a two month leave. While on Genesis, Jacob visited friends of those lost during Harvest, and continued to train night and day. During this leave, Jacob met Abigail Asher, who at the time was 21. She was out drinking with a few friends and noticing Jacob was out alone, the two parties joined each other. Abigail and Jacob had an immediate liking towards eachother and talked for the rest of Jacob's leave. Together, along with Abigail's friends, they celebrated Jacob's 22nd birthday, and for the next month went out with eachother. On April 2, 2527, Jacob left to go back into active military service. He kept in contact with Abigail since then. 2532 Jacob leaves active service and returns to Genesis, where he marries Abigail. For the next four months they are together. 2536 Jacob was on leave twice. Once in January, and again in October, where he witnessed the birth of his children, Jacob Junior and Heather. Jacob stayed with his family for four months, up until early 2537, where he was rushed back to the front lines. 2542 Jacob returns after a series of battles. His kids grown to six years old and seeing their father for the first time in 5 years. Jacob has four months to rekindle a relationship with them. Late 2552-Early 2555 Jacob is officially retired for two years. He leaves on Earth, even after it's partial glassing, he had no way to leave Earth with their supplies drained and the pelicans incapability of slipspace. He and around 300 other civilians find refugee in a mountain pass, they are able to relocate to J-2 Alpha after Jacob rejoins ONI. Military History Pre-Harvest Service Jacob enlisted in the UNSC at age sixteen during 2523. Jacob was sent to the local training faciity on Reach, where he excelled at long-range firing practices and tactical assesments. Within six months he was granted the rank of Private and the DI's noticed his skills. He was recommended for ODST training one month afterward, and a month after that, he was sent to train with the ODST's. Within the first week of his training, Jacob and the others were sent into harsh environments, via jumping out of a pelican, with little food and water. For one month, they had to survive; out of 250 marines, only 75 passed this test. The other's were forced out of ODST training. After two more months of extreme training, including harsh zero gee exercises, close-quarters combat, battle drills, and an intense workout regiment, the 75 marines, were bred into 75 hardened "Helljumpers." Jacob was promoted Corporal and given his very own squad. By now, Jacob was just turning seventeen. He was already a hardened "helljumper." Jacob transferred to ONI directly after being promoted to Corporal and becoming an ODST. It was March of 2523 and Jacob continued to train, participating in a few battles against the Insurrection. During mid-June, the luxury liner, National Holiday, is destroyed over Reach. Jacob is one of the few ODST's and non-ONI personnel who learn it was behind the insurrection. Jacob is recruited into Operation: TREBUCHET that day. On June 16th, he is sent to Casbah, Tribute with Staff Sergeants Avery Johnson and Nolan Byrne. After the Operation is botched by Johnson, Jacob is sent back to Earth with Johnson. Here, he continues his training and exercises. He leaves Earth and arrives in the Epsilon Indi System on December 21st. Jacob remains at Harvest, and is stationed on The King Raven when First Contact happened.

The Battle of Genesis The Battle of Genesis began very...interesting for Jacob. Admiral Yates had ordered the entire King Raven crew to focus on the capture/kill of Nighthawk and Anaconda. Vernette, along with most of the crew hated the idea and Vernette was relieved of command shortly after. Jacob promised Vernette that he would focus on evacuating Genesis before the Covenant fleet arrives. From there on, he went against Yates' order and abandoned the mission set. He along with a small group of marines, including Tyber Vernette, left the King Raven to do what Vernette wanted. Jacob sent out a mission to any UNSC soldiers still loyal to Vernette, and still wanting to focus on the job of evacuating Genesis. Hundreds of marines, and some Spartans, answered the call, Jacob was surprised that this many abandoned Yates. He organized them with the help of Tyber Vernette, a marine named Adam, and (tyler's characters). From then on, they focused all efforts onto the immediate evacuation of Genesis cities. This is what they did, until they ran into Nighthawk and Anaconda. Nighthawk and Anaconda, the two that the UNSC and ONI wanted dead. With the first confrontation of the duo, they offered valuable evidence on to the discovery of a Covenant Corvette cloaked in the Genesis system. The information was crucial to the success of evacuating as many civilians as possible, with the HELP of two known "terrorists" Jacob along with many in the crew were able to steal the Corvette from the Covenant's hands. After reaching it through the use of pelicans, the marines boarded the Corvette. They secured the hangar bay within minutes and fought their way to the bridge. At the bridge they fought off many elites and with the help of Anaconda, the brute, were able to take control of the ship. Anaconda taught a few pilots to learn how to drive the Corvette. It never became the base of operations, but was a valuable asset to the "resistance."

The First Battle of Earth During the First Battle of Earth, Jacob was no longer part of the UNSC. Instead, Jacob was part of an elite Task Force known as Task Force 117, comprised of fifty UNSC snipers and marksman. Jacob was second in command of this task force, with his very close friend, Texas being first in command. They worked "off the grid," destroying entire Covenant bases in a matter of a few hours. Other known associates of Task Force 117 include; Dakota, Arizona, Rhodes, and Tennese. Task Force 117 worked silently, without authorization from ONI or the UNSC. They would even go so far as to steal information from the UNSC to use to their advantage and save hundreds of lives in the process. However, at a crucial moment in their operation, they were found by the Covenant. The Covenant destroyed their base with ease, sending brute minors and many grunts on the mission. The remaining units of Task Force 117 retreated to a warehouse up the hill, there were 5 pelicans waiting. Although, there were only about 40 of them left, in the last crucial moments; Two Brute Chieftains charged at the group, killing another four members in the process. The rest were able to retreat into the pelicans. Although, one of the pelicans crashed, knocking down a section of the wall, and the rubble covered Jacob, Texas, and Dallas (Jacob's brother confirmed in this engagement). Dallas was able to pick them up and take them to the pelican, as it lifted off it was hit with a banshee round. Texas almost fell out, but Jacob grabbed his hand. Texas valiantly sacrficed his life to save Task Force 117. His death was hard on Jacob, who left TF117 shortly after, retiring from military duty all together. Texas was 46 when he died. Shortly after, Task Force 117 disbanded, along with the retreating UNSC fleet. Many soldiers of the task force went into hiding, returning to their families, if they were still alive and focusing on them. Jacob, after returning to his family, rounded up a few hundred civilians and made his way towards mountainous terrain. When they arrived, they began to build a small town. With no way to leave Earth, they stayed, killing any Covenant patrols that came their way. However, after a team of ONI soldiers found them, he headed back to ONI and the townspeople were redirected to the newly colonized planet of J-2 Alpha. The Invasion of Sanghelios Error in recovering data - Try again later. Task Force 117 Task Force 117 is an elite task force, comprised of fifty UNSC/ONI snipers and marksmans. Formed in 2551, right before the First Battle of Earth, Texas (no real name verified) contacted Jacob and told him about this plan. He arrived a few days later along with forty-eight other snipers and marksman. Each one was classified with a state name and thrown into twenty-five teams consisting of two members of each team. Jacob and Texas were in group one and cooridinated the strategies, attacks, and tactical information. Nighthawk and Anaconda At first Jacob's relationship with Nighthawk and Anaconda was simply enemies of ONI. But since he found out there true identities, things have changed. He first accepted it, willing to help them whenever he could. But after a series of events, Jacob grew more of a hatred to the duo. No one knows why, personal issues, maybe the situations with his son and family. Or something else, but something sparked inside Jacob where he said enough was enough. This thinking however, made him lose his arm. Interpersonal Relationships Family / Close Relationships Abigail Asher: The ex-wife of Jacob Sharpmen, born on Genesis, June 18, 2508.

Most of his file covered in black ink. Until about 2537, Dallas was a part of UNSC/ONI. On Janaury 15, 2537, Dallas was decommisioned and court-martialed from the UNSC. From then on he lived as a mercanary, this is when we lost information on Dallas. Although we do know, he was "part" of the creation and survival of Task Force 117. Junior's Death and the Effect on Jacob After Junior's death, Jacob was relieved of duty by Vernette. He had a long discussion with Delta about some things. Afterwards, he went rogue and left the base. He headed back towards the forerunner structure were Junior died. He went on a blood-thirsty rage destroying any sentinel and killing any elite he saw. His revenge attitude quickly turned into a 'mission' in his mind. Here, he planned on blowing up the second elite facility, where he was faced by Mor'fal (see Enemies). Vernette and Delta became aware of him going rogue and set TF117 and ODST's under the command of Jimmy and Brian to find and locate him. Vernette and Delta went after some time of them not coming back. Jacob, after infiltrating the facility, was captured by Mor'fal but escaped with the help of Phoenix (see Artificial Intelligence Units). He managed to set the explosives in the compound and blew the place to shreds. Mor'fal survived however. Later, TF117 and Jimmy and Brians' team found Jacob and talked to him. Vernette and Delta came later. They got Jacob to come back. Delta also found a dogtag of Junior's which he gave to Jacob. When they came back, Vernette was angry with Jacob, and he was stripped of his command. Later, TF117 went on another mission, where Jacob stayed behind. Jacob was able to reorganize himself for the next few days, still feeling guilty for the death of his only son. A few days after Junior's death, and after Jacob was able to reorganize himself he was able to go back to J-2 Alpha. Where he thought long and hard about how he would tell his family. After telling them, they had a few days to talk, and get things straight before the funeral. Friends Texas: Texas, (alias, real name - unvalid), was the best friend and leader of Task Force 117 (in 2552). Texas was also born on Reach in the same year as Jacob. His record serves as a primary example of the "perfect soldier." Texas partook in many battles with Jacob.. They were close, referring to eachother as brothers most of the time. Jacob looked up to Texas, as he was intelligent, funny, and his best-friend. See "First Battle of Earth" for more information. Dakota: One of Jacob's best friends, Dakota has been there since they left for training in 2523. Dakota followed Jacob, and Jacob followed Dakota. They had the relationships that usually a brother and sister might have. fighting in every engagement with eachother, the two developed something. Something that only these two ODST's have. Dangerus: Error in recovering data - Try again later. Tyber Vernette: Jacob fought with Tye many times. He became good friends with him during the Battle of New Harmony, here Jacob was knew to the team and figured he should try to make some friends. Jacob hit it off with Tye and they became good friends over the years. Knowing that Jacob had a friend he could trust,much like Texas, meant something to him. When Tye died in 2553, this struck Jacob hard when he heard the news. He felt as if anyone he was close to, anyone he considered a brother was killed. Jacob is still upset over the death of Tye and wishes he could have been there to save him. Preston Vernette: Commanding officer and friend of Jacob Sharpmen, Preston Vernette. Jacob looks up to Vernette and is extremely loyal to him and his ideals. Jacob met Vernette during the Battle of Harvest, where their relationship as frieds grew. Although, at times Jacob does get angry at his orders, or goes against them, they are for a good reason. On the other hand, the relationship between Vernette and Jacob increased dramatically when Jacob found out about Vernette being Nighthawk. A shock to Jacob, but this did not decrease his loyalty to him. On many occasions Jacob and Vernette will reinforce this notion of loyalty. No matter what, Jacob will be a friend of Vernette. Jacob considers Preston as not only a friend, but a relative, a member of his family. Jacob would do anything for Preston Vernette. Delta: Another good friend of Jacob is Delta. Although they do have their differences, their similarities are far greater. From the strength of love for their children, to their loyalty to Vernette. Jacob would take a bullet for Delta, which is not needed of course. He would stick with him through "thick and thin." Even though Delta used to be Barrabus, Jacob quickly got over it as he saw that all the brutes have chaged.   Artificial Intelligence Unit Phoenix: Phoenix was first the AI of the RT project. When the last two Spartans were killed, they gave Jacob control of Phoenix. Jacob was completely surprised and Vernette and Delta were not to keen on this idea. Jacob convinced them otherwise and as time went on and they began to fight and become more synchronized, their relationship grew. Phoenix understands Jacob and is very close to him. Phoenix's lie is coming to a close as his seven years are almost up. His whereabouts have not been talked about, and are classified above Top Secret. Flin Rol'Malda - STATUS- ELIMATED: Flin is an elite Gladiator. He first met Jacob on Genesis in 2539, this is when their first engagement happened. Jacob was captured by Flin and he tried to get information from him. Although, a Spartan II by the name of Mitch, (Mitchell-148) was able to locate Jacob and attempted to rescue him. Flin fought Mitch and Jacob for some time, until Mitchell finally told Jacob to run; which he did. Mitch then ran to explosives inside the Covenant base, and had enough time to wire some together. Flin stabbed Mitch from behind and picked him up, Jacob was only a few yards away and could see this, he went speeding towards Flin, but Mitch pulled a detanator and blew the place up. Jacob went flying, but awoke only a few minutes later. Flin was gaurded by Mitch's body and was able to retreat from Genesis. Flin holds a place in Jacob's mind, a place of agony, where Jacob is planning to send him. Jacob finally recieved his revenge with the attack on Sanghelios. Mor'fal - STATUS - ACTIVE: Jacob first encountered Mor'fal in the forerunner structure on Sanghelios. He was captured by Mor'fal and soon found out that this elite killed his son, Junior.

He did not have a problem with ONI at all during his service. Up until 2553, Jacob served with ONI, but retired. He came back in 2555 to find Director Vernette in control of ONI. He re-enlisted and was accepted right away. ONI had given back his rank, uniform, and position as an ODST commander. The UNSC - United Nations Space Command Jacob joined the UNSC at sixteen, but when he became an ODST, he transferred to ONI. The Covenant Jacob despises the Covenant, the Loyalists and the Seperatists alike. He hates all things elite, jackal, and grunt. Jacob was once sent on a mission to kill a high target VIP elite and succeeded. This elite also killed many in his sqaud in the beginning of his career in the UNSC. Jacob, however, was never able to get over his parents' death on Reach, during which he took part, but was too late. He has had the grudge since then.
