Stories From Sodor:Future[]

Season 1[]

When Kevin and Analice returned from their trip around the world, Jacob excitedly picked them up from the airport. He also asked Emma and Jesse to gather Kevin and Analice’s friends at his home to surprise them. Jacob then let the returning pair stay the night at his home[11]. Kevin and Analice would then tell Jacob and Emma about their travels in Germany, India, Japan, Mongolia, Peru[12], the United States, Egypt, Italy, Ireland, and Scotland[13].

One morning, Jacob woke up ill, but, despite Emma’s concern, went to work anyway. He continued to overwork himself despite warnings from Emma and Kira, and continued to grow sicker as a result. After being called by Emma, Sierra then scolded Jacob and sent him home to rest and get better, and he was able to return to work two days later[14].

Later, Jacob and Emma were relaxing in Jacob’s Office, when a news report alerted them of heavy snowfall that would be coming to the Island. Despite Emma’s worries, Jacob stayed at work whilst she went home, resulting in him being trapped by the snow. He would then be rescued by Emma, with help from William and Dustin[15].

Season 2[]

After being kicked out by Kevin, Analice went to Jacob to ask for help. After hearing that she had been kicked out for cheating on Kevin, Jacob slammed the door in her face[16]

Later, Albert came to Jacob to tell him that the Crystal Island Railway was in danger of shutting down due to financial issues. Upset by this, Jacob promised to come up with a solution, despite Albert thinking it futile. After Albert left and Sierra arrived, Jacob and Sierra came up with a plan. They then journeyed to Crystal Island to tell Albert their plan, which was to join the Crystal Island Railway and North Western Railway. Albert happily agreed to the merger, and the Sudrian Crystal Railway came to be[17].

One day, Caroline made the choice to come to Sodor unannounced. Upon her arrival at Knapford Station, Jacob led her into his office. It was there that she revealed to him that her mother had died. Jacob then took Caroline around the railway, showing her what had changed since her last visit[18].

Later, Emma claimed Jacob was spending too much time with the engines, so he decided to take her to the seaside for the weekend, leaving Kira in charge of the railway. Due to a misunderstanding, however, Kira did not show up, leading to Kevin running the railway instead. Unfortunately, Jacob accidentally turned on the news later that day to see a report about a large accident at Brendam Docks. He then travelled to the Docks to sort it out, but by the time he arrived back at the cabin he had rented, Emma had decided to end their relationship[19].

Later, after Kira decided to resign from her position as Jacob’s secretary, he interviewed, and subsequently hired, Anna for the position[20]. A few weeks later, Anna and Jacob had developed feelings for each other, and the two began a romantic relationship, much to Emma’s dismay[21].

After Emma revealed to the Poetry Club that she was likely to be fired after Principal Dean discovered that she had not been entirely truthful on her résumé when she applied for her job, Allison, April, Danielle, Michael, Sarah, and Stephanie turned to Kevin for help. Kevin, in turn, went to Jacob to come up with a solution. They, along with Analice, Susan, Areebah, Megan, Tess, Sierra, Hannah, and Jackson, staged a musical number at the board meeting to decide her fate to show Principal Dean how much she meant to everyone and the impact she had on her students in an attempt to save her job. This attempt was successful, and Principal Dean decided to allow Emma to keep her job [22].

Season 26[]

One day, Bianca and Jacob were at Wellsworth Station when a fire broke out in one of the rubbish bins. Bianca suggested they phone the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre before Jacob instead called the Wellsworth Fire Station due to it being nearby. Bianca later gave Angus three cheers after he put out the fire. He later attended the Steam Rally alongside Sierra, Finn, Kevin, and Gordon Montague[23].

Later, when a group of tourists from France came to Sodor, Jacob chose Brady to take them around the Island, since he spoke French[24].

Jacob later gave William the job of taking the evening express, but told him not to take Mildred, as she was not suited for the job. After William took the coach with him anyways, Jacob’s words would end up ringing true, as when they were descending Template:Gordon’s Hill, Mildred’s brakes were not strong enough to slow the heavy train, resulting in William crashing at the bottom. Jacob was upset by this, telling William he was very disappointed in him[25].

The Early Years[]

Jacob and Sierra planned a special “Heritage Days” event to celebrate the early days of Sodor’s railways. At the event, the pair dressed in clothing indicative of the early 1900s to help make the experience that much more authentic for the guests[26].

Personality[]

In Youth[]

Jacob was a kind, quiet boy. He was smart and a bit nerdy, but was also very boyish and loved to get his hands dirty. He was also very friendly, dramatic, and stubborn. He would also get very angry when someone else would tell him he can't do something. He was not without insecurities, however, and often got himself down when he thought he couldn't do something. He also had a tendency to take on more things than he can handle, such as when he and Connor tried to do Sierra and Kira's work in addition to their own. He had also been shown to be very loyal. Contrarily, Jacob had also been shown to hold grudges against those who have wronged him, but usually forgave them in time, as was the case with Paige. He had also been shown to have a great interest in music and theatre. He has also been shown to be very competitive, especially with auditions.

In Adulthood[]

In adulthood, Jacob is still kind, smart, loyal, friendly, dramatic, and stubborn.

Jacob has good leadership skills and is a good authority figure, although he still tends to take on more work than he can handle, sometimes to the point of illness due to exhaustion.

He also has a more sarcastic and cynical side, and has a tendency to be a realist as opposed to the optimist he was when he was younger. Not above throwing a little shade, however, Jacob will not hesitate to slyly throw insults when an opportunity arises.

He still has a great interest in music and theatre. He is good with children, and was a good teacher because of this. Jacob also tends to have trouble letting go of those he cares about, as was the case with Kevin.

Appearance[]

Jacob is of average height and build. He has dark brown, medium length hair and teal eyes.

As a kid, Jacob always wore green. In the autumn and spring, he can usually be found wearing a green hoodie with blue jeans. In the summer, he can usually be found wearing a green t-shirt and blue shorts. In the winter, he can usually be found wearing a green coat with blue jeans.

As an adult, Jacob wears a dark green suit with a light green shirt and white bowtie.

Trivia[]

  • Jacobacranmer, Jacob's creator, based the character on himself.
  • Until the fourth season of Stories From Sodor:Future, Jacob was the only character to have at least one main role in every season.
  • Four of Jacob's six known partners (Mallory, Emma, Hannah, and Anna), have had double letters in the middle of their names, with Katie and Cody being the only two not to follow this pattern.
  • Originally, Jacob was going to have social anxiety and depression. However, these were later cut out, as the writer thought it would make several episodes too sad and depressing.
  • One of Jacob's favorite animals is the tiger.
