Jacob is a character who has been present since the beginning of Johnisdead. Originally appearing as a player during the YSHDT Arc, he was revealed to be a character when he suddenly went missing during the Johnisdead Arc. It was later revealed that he was a friend of Tyler's who went missing in 2009 after joining the Lunar Children. While in the cult, he became a vessel for Patrem and took on the name Vincent Adams, having forgotten his past life due to Patrem's presence. Vincent later returned in 2020 after being separated from Patrem and shared vital information with the players.

Story

Jacob was born sometime during the 1990's in Florida. It is assumed that he had a fairly normal childhood growing up. At some point he met Tyler. The two became friends, often hanging out and talking about various topics such as drug trips. In 2009, Jacob joined the Internet Detectives and partook in the YSHDT Arc as a player. During this arc, the players discovered that their Link, Doug, had just recently joined a cult known as the Lunar Children. Once it was revealed that both Jacob and Doug lived in Florida, Jacob asked if he could be recruited into the cult. He was directed to Doug's friend Mason who had him carry out a series of initiation rituals that involved recording oneself staring at the camera while thinking about one's deepest fears and reciting the cult's oath.

At some point, Jacob was accepted and inducted into the cult. Instead of simply gathering information about the cult to give to the players, Jacob presumably became genuinely interested in their practices. Through carrying out small duties for the Lunar Children and keeping a low, obedient profile, Jacob was able to rise fairly high through the cult's ranks. After being with the Lunar Children for some time, Jacob was later presented with the final test of loyalty within the cult - the option of receiving their experimental brain operation. Despite the fact that this operation would completely change his identity, Jacob went through with it. Once the process was completed, Jacob had forgotten most of his previous life. He now took on a new name - Vincent Adams.

Vincent once again rose through the ranks of the Lunar Children, eventually being given the title of "Overseer". As Overseer, Vincent was present at the Fishery on Undecim Nocte, 2011 - the night of Kevin's ascension. However, the ascension went awry, resulting in Patrem becoming trapped in Vincent's body. This caused Vincent to lose his memories once again, completely forgetting about the Lunar Children. He was also unaware of Patrem's presence inside his body, as Patrem was only able to take control of him whenever he fell asleep. Despite this, side-effects of Patrem's presence were still present, such as insomnia and memory loss.

In 2014, Vincent began a series of sleep deprivation experiments in an attempt to inspire himself to create music. He recorded the results of these experiments and uploaded them to his YouTube channel, Vincent Adams. During this time, Vincent would still occasionally be possessed by Patrem whenever he fell asleep, presumably resulting in Patrem returning to the Lunar Children to carry out cult responsibilities. During this time, Vincent was known as Father Vincent. On March 18th, 2015, Vincent unexpectedly woke up while Patrem was using his body to speak to the players on the Within Hubris Forums. This resulted in the players managing to briefly siphon some information out of him. Unfortately, Vincent was too distraught with the situation and quickly left.

Vincent continued this unaware dualistic life until April 23rd, 2016. On this date, Vincent was suddenly freed from Patrem's control just before the Cataclysm destroyed The Spire, allowing him to escape. While Vincent managed to make his way back to his house, he wasn't completely unscathed. Over time, he felt his mind and soul slowly beginning to degrade.

Personality

Jacob

Troubled, stolen. Trapped in the forest while the angel workers seek access to his seed. The chemical contained among the residence of the thrice counted eye. He should safe gaurd it but does not. This makes me sad =[

Vincent

A component now being exploited for an attempted ID shell establishment. Don't ask me what that means, but I think the people trying to make that work have or are going to fail. The "aggregate source" was not "awakened enough" I hear. When they wake up I wonder who they will be in the end? I think that part might be obvious for a lot of people by now lol
