[indent]Brown-eyed, honey blonde hair, 6'2" height with a solid build, neither sculpted nor wiry, but mid-sized. Jake is clean-shaven and keeps the hair short, but does not spend a lot of time making sure it's a certain sort of high and tight. Short will do. The man has fairly deep-set eyes and strong cheekbones, and somewhat ruddy complexion from the neck up and the elbows down, due to exposure.[/indent]

[b]History:[/b]
[indent]Born in Newcastle-on-Tyne, Jacob Robson, born to Laci, an emergency room nurse, and Alistair, an auto mechanic that specialized in sports cars. As a youngster, he did average in school but managed to pick up a job alongside his buddy Andrew Mack in the Mack family athletic supply store from a young age. It was Bob Mack, a former Royal Marine, that introduced Andrew and Jacob to the outdoors and physical fitness, including Rugby Union, which they both took up on a youth and amateur basis. After graduating school in 2007 both young men decided to go out for the Parachute Regiment Assessment Course (PRAC) at Catterick Garrison. Both were moved into infantry training which both young men completed, earning their maroon berets. Jacob attended Basic Parachute Course at RAF Brize Norton.

As part of 3rd BN, Parachute Regiment, he served in Afghanistan from 4/2008 to 10/2008 in Helmand province, doing well enough to be promoted to an assistant section leader role to cover for another man who had to be medically evacuated. When his 3rd Battalion deployment was finished, he volunteered for duty with 1st Battalion of the Parachute Regiment, which was designated part of the Special Forces Support Group (SFSG), which is a task force of Paras and Royal Marines that support the Special Air Service and Special Boat Service in operations that require a larger infantry force to provide security and support for the special operations, patterned on the American 75th Ranger Regiment. With the SFSG, he was deployed again to Afghanistan, operating as part of a Quick Reaction Force (QRF) or undertaking unilateral action in Kunduz and other provinces of Afghanistan, occasionally in conjunction with United States Marine forces in the region or with the American 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) giving them the lift. 

Upon return to the UK, both Robson and Andrew Mack volunteered for UK Special Forces Selection, which is the point of entry for volunteers into the Special Air Service, Special Boat Service and other "Tier 1" units of the UK Forces. While Mack failed his first time, Robson passed through Selection and into training at various locations, including the Brecon Beacons in Wales, Belize and other regions. He was badged in 2011 and, once fully trained, deployed to Afghanistan in the later part of that year, participating in various actions targeted toward Taliban mid-level leadership. Through the next years, he rotated through different troops in D squadron. Deployments included operations in Libya, Syria and Northern Iraq against ISIL forces in both regions. Notable among these efforts were ongoing efforts against 200 British jihadists that were to be killed or captured before they could attempt to return to the UK. The 200 jihadist were senior members of ISIL that posed a direct threat to the UK. During his service in the Special Air Service, he was promoted to Corporal.

In late 2017, at the ten year mark, Corporal Jake Robson declined to re-enlist in the British Army, preferring the money that Centurion was laying out. He thought they would be operating in Nigeria. As an experienced SAS NCO, he was assigned to Brian Park's squad as a fireteam leader, where he has a reputation for being taciturn but fair as a leader, a 'show rather than tell' sort of fellow. He's also the psychopath that conceived of, organized and, point of fact, placed second in, the "Tour d'Arse," a naked cycling competition among Centurion personnel and French Foreign Legionnaires in Korou. Not usually a troublemaker by nature, that particular antic took everyone by surprise, and the photo finish, with him in a sand brown beret and naught else hangs somewhere back in Hereford. Mum will never see it, and yet it will be remembered.[/indent]

[b]Psychological Profile:[/b]
[indent]Robson tends toward an introspective and self-disciplined methodology and rarely needs to be told twice what to do. On the other hand, he is an adventure sports junkie and seems to thrive off the adrenaline, which explains his choice in career fields. While he is not a leader of the pack type, he is somewhere in the pack, the gray man. Sometimes, he is thought of as standoffish or arrogant in social interaction, but it is often the case that Jake is thinking before he speaks, and sometimes has to wait out the people that have to rapid-fire their thoughts in a conversation and cut each other off. He's content to button it and wait until asked something directly in such situations. When he does crack a joke, it's often gallows humor.[/indent]

[b]Equipment:[/b]
[indent]- Issue equipment; he primarily operates the H&K 416 rifle, with optics determined by the operating conditions. However, he is quite capable of operating any weapon system currently being deployed by Centurion. His typical weapon is a 14.5" barreled -416, 12 magazines that load regular rounds, except for round fifteen and the last four rounds of every magazine, which are tracers.
- Head/Face: Ballistic helmet, high cut, with at least one headphone attached, NVG's attached and dust/sand goggles attached just in case. There are two mounting points for his flashlight, if he cares to attach it thus and for a camera, just in case. He doesn't do baclavas, but he does wear camouflaged netting around his neck to help keep things from chafing, which can be used to cover up his face and head in the sun if necessary. He also has his 'Space Oakleys' - The Grathik paid a lot for a manufacturing license so they could put the logo on legally. It's practically SAS tradition to wear shemaghs, and he uses his primarily around the neck to keep things from chafing.
- Body: Combat shirt and pants, as well as a Grathik-manufactured armored vest that is being issued to all the human troops; it resembles human body armor but it's made from different materials. His vest has pouches attached for twelve 5.56mm magazines, a hydration system, weapon cleaning kit and various other miscellaneous equipment including a knife and multi-tool, maps, pens and so forth. A belt with a fanny pack containing a first aid kit (with not one, but two tourniquet kits), survival gear, a sheathed combat knife, as well as a folding knife of the same make and a very bright flashlight – the kind that has protrusions on the head to allow for glass-breaking. He also has a pair of bolt cutters and a good digital camera. Wrist-mounted compass and dive watch – expensive, solar powered and pretty damned nice. 
- Assault boots, low-cut, non slip soles. Canteen pouch to hold expended magazines.
- Pack: Extra food, clothing, empty magazines, poncho, liner, etc, etc. Gav also has a demo kit. Duct tape, electrical tape.
- Sidearm: M1911A1, with ambidextrous safety, synthetic grips, expanded ejection port and tritium dot night sights. The holster is rigged on the waist, crossdraw position, grip canted. Four magazines, .45ACP
- Grenades; Frags, Two WP (the WP rises instantaneously, instead of waiting for smoke to mark a position.) Pouches on the vest.
- Other equipment as needed. LAW rockets may be substituted for other equipment, such as demo equipment or extra equipment for a DMR or LMG if that is the role he is taking on.
