Little Jacob reveals considerably less about his personal life than other friendship characters. Instead, he and Niko often insightfully discuss philosophy and concerns for other people they know. According to Badman during his [[Random Characters|random encounter]], Jacob has a girlfriend that he loves very much and often treats to gifts (which Jacob mentions once himself). Jacob and Badman once had a third friend nicknamed Grandad who could keep Badman calm, but he has since then moved to Jamaica. One of Jacob's best traits is loyalty, as he always stands by Niko and goes out of his way to help him. | Little Jacob reveals considerably less about his personal life than other friendship characters.

Jacob is | Jacob is the archetypal [[wp:Rastafarian#Church Rastafarian|Rastafarian]] who speaks in [[wp:Rastafarian_vocabulary|Iyaric]] (terms like "I and I"), discusses Jah, Rasta and Zionist ideals with Niko, and finds most non-[[wp:Ital|Ital]] food and weed distasteful (ironically, his first appearance in the game is a brief cutscene outside a Burger Shot and he also likes the food in [[Cluckin Bell]]). His accent is difficult to understand, but much easier in comparison to Badman's near-impenetrable [[wp:Jamaican_(language)|Jamaican patois]], so Jacob often acts as translator. He loves reggae music, particularly the stations [[Tuff Gong Radio]] (an all-[[wp:Bob Marley|Bob Marley]] station) and [[Massive B Soundsystem 96.9]]. He mentions being a huge fan of reggae artist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Bradshaw Sonny Bradshaw], calling him his "uncle" spiritually. Niko agrees that "he plays good music" but sadly he is not featured on the game's soundtrack. Jacob and Niko also both like [[Bobby Konders]]. | ||
Jacob constantly smokes marijuana (even during the helicopter chase), seeing it as "enlightenment", although other times he says he is trying to quit. He often speaks of his concern for Badman smoking too much marijuana and becoming highly paranoid (an effect that Jacob does not experience). Jacob confesses that he thinks Badman could try to kill him out of paranoia. | Jacob constantly smokes marijuana (even during the helicopter chase), seeing it as "enlightenment", although other times he says he is trying to quit.
