Jakob, also known as Jiminy in the Japanese version, is the elder brother of Gideon who lives at the foot of Junk Heap.
Information
Ever since his mother disappeared with her lover, he entered the Junk Heap to collect metals and robot parts, making a living by reinforcing weapons with them. Although he knew why his mother left and that she died, he's strong enough to keep up a brave front before his brother. Through his dealings with Nier, he realized that he admired his mother even though she was terrible. In the end, he was caught beneath falling machines due to his brother's mistake and died.
Appearance
Jakob is a young man with messy black hair that reaches his shoulders and black eyes. He wears a dirty brown uniform which appears to be crudely patched together, and has dark-brown boots.
