Jacobo

His face is small and shorn of all fur, and a gleaming silver rondure adorns his right ear. All his quills are trimmed to impeccable precision.

Perfect

Jacobo is a member of the Barathrumites and an inhabitant of Grit Gate.[1] He is a Mechanimist by faith, a musician, and a merchant.

Character

Jacobo is a tinker who specializes in the inscription of data disks. He says he is always inscribing more, and appears to be very meticulous about sorting them, claiming that he has had to "invent" 8 seperate systems of organization to keep them in order.

Jacobo, unusually for a Barathrumite, is a Mechanimist. He states that he belongs to a specific branch of the Mechanimists who only deify the Kasaphescence, and do not see the Argent Fathers as divine beings, being only "important to the faith's early history". He wears a silver rondure as an earring, which signifies his "devotion" to the Kasaphescence.

Jacobo claims to be water siblings with Sheba Hagadias, Librarian of the Stilt, whom he calls his "cohort in chrome". They have collaborated on three collections of songs relating to the Kasaphesence, titled "Spun on the Cosmic Loom", "Immaculate Chrome", and "Outside In".

Hortensa describes Jacobo as "sharp as a tack, and living a life of deep meaning. Inventive and orderly." She claims not to understand his music, but appreciates "how expressive he is with it".

Wares

Jacobo is a merchant who periodically restocks his inventory, and will sell the player various data disks. He will stock his inventory with 5-7 random disks at a time.[2] Additionally, he will always carry a copy of The Canticles Chromaic, Verses XVII-XXIV and a pair of spectacles, but he will not restock these items if purchased.[3]

Combat

Jacobo will begin neutral to the player but will become hostile if the player attacks him or any Barathrumites within view of him. He can also become hostile if the player's reputation with the Barathrumites falls low enough, or if the player is seen stealing their belongings or damaging their property.

Equipment

Jacobo will always come equipped with a laser pistol, slotted with a chem cell at 100% charge. He will never list this item if the player trades with him.[4] Additionally, he will come equipped with an umber frock, a pair of sandals, a square cap, and a silver rondure.[3]

Skills

Jacobo possesses the Steady Hand skill, which will increase his accuracy when firing his laser pistol.[4]

Mutations

Being an urshiib, Jacobo possesses the Albino (D) mutation, the Quills mutation at level 6, and the Triple-jointed mutation at level 3.[4] Quills provides Jacobo with damage reflection, immunity to the quills of other creatures, and the "Quill Fling" activated ability, which allows Jacobo to fire a portion of his quills to deal damage to adjacent creatures. He will also possess quills, natural equipment worn on his body that can't be removed, providing him with an additional ♦4 AV. Triple-jointed will grant Jacobo an additional 3 Agility.

Self Preservation

If Jacobo's hitpoints fall below 35% of his maximum, he will cease combat and will begin to actively flee from threats.[5]
