Personality: Suffering from Autism/Aspergers, Jacob has a rather... distinct and varying personality. Jacob suffers from adaptive personality, a trait that forces or more over allows him to take personality traits from others. Put him in a room full of snobs, he will become a snob. Because of this it is very hard to actually tell what his personality is like as it is near impossible to tell what is actually genuine or what is being taken from others. No one used to care about his personality though. So why would they care now.
Behind the onion like layers of his adaptive personality is a fragile person. Quick to surrender and quick to run. Fears ranging from A-Z and a clear lack of self esteem, possibly the only trait that always carries through with him regardless of whatever personality. Confidence has always been a big issue even more so as he has gotten older, even though most people work in the reverse.

Thoughts On The Murder: For all that it was worth, Jacob rather enjoyed the idea of seeing that bitch dead. Heck if you had given him the baseball bat he would of done it himself. Of course he didn't do it.. Simone had made his life hell, a living hell. She would never leave him alone. So of course he had no regrets regarding the bitches death. Of course when the police came knocking he had to act all grief stricken, but no. In reality he was happy with the outcome. Seeing her all dead like that felt like a massive weight lifted off his shoulders, even if she wasn't going to be in his life after the prom. Seeing someone you hate that much dead does that to you.
History During H.S.: High school. Hell. Whatever you want to call it. Jacob hated school, and it seemed it hated him in kind. His autism segregated him from the others. Social interaction was always awkward and Jacob refused to have it where possible. Academically he did ok. He seemed to be a A student in anything theoretical, and a B or C student in practical/creative subjects. Born in England, it seemed as if Jacob was going to have a pretty normal life, however as he grew up into his toddler years it seemed something was not quite right with him. His parents couldn't quite get what was wrong. After a few doctor visits, Jacob was diagnosed with Aspergers, and life therein changed.
His father, quite typically lower class English, refused to have a 'mentally retarded' son and wanted to give him away. His mother angered by the very notion of what was being proposed left him, taking everything in court, custody, the house, the money. She rather ruthlessly ended him. She couldn't bear to live in the house alone, and as news of the break-up was circulated around town, she gave in and fled. The fleeing took her to the United States. Grimm to be precise. The small town was just the place she needed to raise her son alone. She never did remarry, she did try dating though.
Fitting in at High school was hard, even if he had been through the entire American education system. His Autism had always presented barriers to him. People were just repulsed by him, and being such a easy bullying target to a wide number of people, everyone decided it was far easier to join in with the majority of bullies rather than risk the consequences of being friends. Even your typical friendly person joined in. That was how bad it was, though in fairness, his attitude he had developed didn't exactly make it easy to get along with. His school years had allowed him develop a rather deep cynicism that bought out the worst of everyone that was around him.
This all came to a head after the murder of Simone. While Cynthia was the main suspect from the get go, there had been a small investigation into Jacob while Cy was being questioned. CCTV showed Jacob arriving at the prom early, then leaving halfway through, only to return before the big reveal. Discovering his mental state, and the bias and prejudice that came with it, suddenly Jacob had become a second suspect: Geeky white guy with mental illness snaps at school and murders fellow pupil. Pretty much wrote itself. Thankfully the investigation was halted before it got too serious when Cynthia was convicted. Though that didn't stop fellow students from blaming him for the murder if they suspected Cynthia's innocence.
History Since Graduation: After the murder, Jacob had gone on to study further. He just wanted to keep studying as while High school was hell, studying gave him a routine that he could stick by. He ended up going as high up he system as he could go, earning himself a PHD in Computer Science in the end. The studies was just a distraction though. After High School he had a much more interesting venture going on. During his senior year Jacob had been working on developing a prototype microcomputer. He was convinced that this microcomputer was going to change the world forever. So he had dedicated large amounts of his time to this project, even letting his grades suffer slightly in order to pursue it. He teachers had never minded though, as they could see the potential he had.
The first year at University, and after test after test, The MicroOne TM had been finished and was ready for the world. Originally building each one to order by hand in his spare time, this small fit in your pocket size computer very quickly became a hit with the computing world. It had become so rapidly popular that he actually had to start his own business 'Blackwell Industries' to start producing them for him. Going to the bank and asking for $50,000 loan, he set up the business and hired staff to produce them while he was studying. Form there on in it was one more success after another. The factory got bigger and bigger and before you knew it the MicroTwo TM was coming out.
There was no denying that Jacob had become insanely rich because of this. Studying was now a secondary thing, and running a business was his first love. Establishing itself as a global brand almost overnight, the demand for products kept soaring, not only was the computer small, but it also costed only $40. It was a miracle. People around the world couldn't believe how this could be done. The money he has made has allowed him to buy everything his heart has ever wanted. But it could never quite pave over the blackness and cynicism that had been created by his high school years... That and the accusation of murder doesn't exactly go away... no matter how many millions you stash in the bank account.
