Personality and character
Jakob is hardworking and exceptionally dedicated to Corrin. He is very kind, dutiful, and courteous only towards Corrin prior to supporting anyone. This part of him leads him into constant spats with other people about Corrin's wellbeing, most notable with Camilla, who too is very protective of Corrin. His dedication to Corrin tends to cloud his judgement and can sometimes get him in a very tight spot in order not disappoint Corrin, despite the fact they would not care.
Around other members of the army, Jakob is quite rude and doesn't curve his tongue around them. It is not uncommon to see him talking to others only to poke fun at them. This attitude is even shown with his son, Dwyer, who he sees as competition because he fears that Dwyer is a better butler than he. However, he will get over his dislike for his allies temporarily if ordered to work with them by Corrin. Despite that, he will still continue to be competitive, rather aggressively too, when it comes to work and things needing to be done.
Jakob is the one who would follow Corrin to the ends of the earth. He hates mornings the most out in the army.

Quotes
Battle quotes
“ | Jakob: Flora! Stop this madness at once and return to your senses. You've embarrassed me more than enough for one lifetime. Flora: Jakob... I wish it didn't have to be this way. I wish we could have just stayed in the fortress... Happily serving Lord/Lady Corrin until we were old and gray... We could have had a future together. Just know that I'll always regret this. Jakob: What? I can't hear you over this ridiculous snowstorm. Flora: That's just as well. It's fitting that my hopes and dreams should blow away in the wind... |
” | — Jakob fighting Flora in Birthright Chapter 17. |

“ | Flora: Jakob... It's good to see you, though I wish it was under better circumstances. Jakob: Flora... When I left you at the castle, I never dreamed I'd find you here. Here with your blade raised in anger against she who you swore to protect. I know the difficulty of your situation, but that doesn't excuse your actions. I'm afraid I have no choice to settle this matter with force. Flora: Jakob... In the b-beginning, I never swore my allegiance. I refused. After all, we were little more than hostages. Taken as children... All to prevent this from happening, to stop the Ice Tribe from rebelling. I often thought of running away, but I never did. I stayed... because of you... Jakob: Flora... Flora: I don't want or need your pity, Jakob! Let's finish this! |
