Jacob is Holby’s answer to Robin Hood, with a little added swagger. His maverick attitude and unruliness often get him into trouble, but it means that he often has the courage to do things that others wouldn’t dare to, which might just save someone’s life. Jacob oozes cool, and he knows it; he knows full-well the effect that he has on people, and uses it to his advantage. He’s often been known to charm a confession out of someone, or make up a story about himself in order to get a patient to open up. Jacob is all for underhand tactics, and will always push his luck to get exactly what he wants.
Jacob didn’t have the most privileged of upbringings, but this has meant he has a down-to-earth and streetwise attitude when it comes to dealing with some of Holby’s more challenging patients. Jacob can be hot-headed and struggles to maintain his professionalism at times, but his heart is always in the right place.
