"You can't shake no hands when ye fist be clenched."

- Little Jacob.

Jacob Hughes, better known as Little Jacob, is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a central character and a friend in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Little Jacob is a Jamaican drugs and arms dealer and the Underboss of the Jamaican street gang Hillside Posse, under the command of Real Badman. Jacob is a close friend of Grand Theft Auto IV's protagonist, Niko Bellic, and his cousin, Roman.

Through GTA IV, Jacob serves as a close and trustworthy friend for Niko, giving him some of the early missions in the game, and helping him during the later parts, ultimately proving to be the closest friend for the Bellic cousins.

Little Jacob was voiced by Coolie Ranx, a musician best known for his membership in the third wave ska bands The Toasters and Pilfers.

Early years
Little is known about Jacob's life prior to Grand Theft Auto IV'. Jacob was born in Jamaica, circa 1982. At some point in his life, Jacob met Real Badman, and the two became very close friends, and eventually will form the Jamaican gang "Hillside Posse", going under the names "Little Jacob" and "Real Badman", respectively.

Life in Liberty City
At some point prior to the early 2000s, Jacob and Badman moved to Liberty City. In 2001, they both were arrested for armed robbery. The two were also arrested later two times, at the same years, only with different crimes; In 2002, Jacob was arrested for burglary, and in 2006, he was arrested for possessing Marijuana.

Jacob and Badman continued to build their gang in Liberty City, basing a cafe called Homebrew Cafe in Broker, which served as their base of operations. They also formed partnerships with the known drug baron Elizabeta Torres, and the Latin street gang, the Spanish Lords. Jacob and Badman also became enemies of the M.O.B. African-American gang, mainly a few drug dealers in Bohan. A faction of the Hillside Posse also opposed to Jacob and Badman.

At some point before 2008, Jacob became a very close friend of Roman Bellic, the owner of a small Taxi depot, and the two formed a strong bound with each other.

Meeting Niko
"Ya Niko? The one me man Roman's been talking about all this time? Cousin Niko, gonna help Roman take over de world and ting?"

- Jacob meeting Niko.

Jacob first meets Niko Bellic, Roman's cousin, after the first called for Roman for a taxi. Having no other driver, Roman sends Niko to pick up Jacob. Waiting Niko on Oneida Avenue in South Slopes, Jacob tells him to drive Jacob to a meeting to Dillon Street in Schottler. During the drive to the meeting, Jacob gives Niko a Glock 22 pistol in order to watch out the meeting.



At an ally in Dillon Street, Jacob, much to his surprise, meets three rival Yardies, rather than one as he thought. The three Yardies open fire on Jacob, but he is saved by Niko, who guns down the dealers. After the failed assassination attempt on him, Jacob asks Niko to drive him to the Homebrew Cafe. After they arrive to the cafe, Jacob gives Niko his phone number, hoping to stay in contact with him.

Missions for Bellic
"The ras clot tinks he can cold up Badman. He a fool... he's a dead fool... De boy is no match for I and I. He's nuttin!"

- Jacob, on the man who setted the drug deal.



After their first meeting, Niko arrives to Jacob's apartment to receive more work. Jacob comes out his apartment, and tells Niko about an attept to make peace with some of his and Badman's rivals, as well as making a drug deal wit them, however, Jacob does not trust the dealers in keeping the truce and the deal. The two drive into an apartment of the dealers at Saratoga Avenue in Willis. The dealers attempt to escape, but are taken down by Niko. Understanding that the deal was a trap, Niko and Jacob head to Savannah Avenue in Meadows Park, where the apartment of the dealers who setted up the deal is located. Niko and Jacob storm into the apartment, killing the dealers. With the dealers are dead, Jacob asks Niko to drive him to the Homebrew Cafe.

After a few days, in which, Niko has began working for the Russian Mafia, Jacob sends him a message asking him to come over his apartment to get more jobs. Entering the apartment, Niko is pinned down by Badman, who thought Niko to be an intruder. After a more proper introduction between the two, Badman and Jacob explain Niko that they have a rivaly with a drug dealer, and send Niko to eliminate the dealer, who is located in Bohan. Niko tails the dealer to a building. In the building, Niko kills the dealer and his two suppliers, ending one of Badman Jacob's rivalies. After completing the job, Niko phones Jacob to tell him about his success.

After the second job given by him, Jacob begins to hang out with Niko, eventually beginning to sell weapons to him.

Drugs deliveries
After he did the last mission from Jacob, Niko is asked if he wants to continue working with Badman and Jacob, and agrees to help them in drugs deliveries. In each time, Jacob leaves Niko an old car louded with drugs, and has him drive it to clients. In some deliveries, Niko is ambushed by either the police or a rival gang, but manages to deliver.

During the last drug delivery, Jacob and Badman decide to reward Niko with a unique Jamaican Huntley Sport for helping. After completing the tenth delivery, Niko is informed by Jacob that the LCPD are cracking down, and he can no longer send Niko to delivery drugs.

Dimitri's betrayal


"I told ya Dimitri was a snake in grass."

- Jacob to Niko, regarding Dimitri's betrayal.

After Niko killed Mikhail Faustin under the orders Dimitri Rascalov, the two decide to meet in a warehouse near Broker's docks so Dimitri will give Niko his money. Jacob phones Niko, and upon hearing the meeting, decides to serve as Niko's backup in case Dimitri will betray him. Niko meets Jacob near to the enterance of the warehouse.

Jacob's thoughts are proven to be right; Dimitri reveals he has allied himself with an old enemy of Niko's Ray Bulgarin, and the two attempt to murder Niko, resulting a large shootout. Jacob helps Niko to kill Russian mobsters, but the two fail to kill Dimitri and Bulgarin, who escape the warehouse as the police arrive. Jacob and Niko manage to escape the warehouse as well, and Niko drives Jacob to the Homebrew Cafe. During the drive, Niko tells Jacob that he vowes to Dimitri and Bulgarin, while Jacob assures him the they will pay for trying to kill them.

Soon afterwards, Dimitri and Bulgarin set both Roman's apartment and Taxi depot, driving both him and Niko out of Broker to Bohan. After the incident, Jacob sends a message to Niko regarding the latest events.

Elizabeta's Cocaine
Via Mallorie Bardas, Niko begins to work with Elizabeta Torres, a durg baron in Liberty City. After Niko completed her first mission, Jacob calls Niko in order to ask him if he is now working for Elizabeta. Jacob also tells him that Elizabeta is a rather good employer and even Badman himself is afraid of her.

Jacob later briefly works with Elizabeta, trying to help her in selling selling Cocaine to the Spanish Lords, only to be ripped off by them and their associates, The Angels of Death, leading to a loud arguement between the two, followed by a phone call from Elizabeta to Niko, asking him to translate Jacob's words and solve their problem.



Niko arrives to Elizabeta's apartment, stopping the arguement between her and Jacob. After hearing the situation, Niko heads to the Old Hospital in Colony Island while Jacob heads to the two's meeting point at an ally in Chase Point. Niko finds the drugs, and barely escapes the hospitel from the gangs and police who chased after him. Meeting Jacob in the ally, the two are confronted by Michelle, Niko's girlfriend, who reveals herself to be a government agent who was tasked in following Niko's actions. Michelle takes the Cocaine whilst Niko and Jacob part ways.

Jacob also calls Niko during Elizabeta's last mission, asking him if he wants to hang out with him, but Niko declines the offer, as he was tasked with bringing the corpses of his deceased associates Manny Escuela and Jay Hamilton to a doctor in Broker after Elizabeta killed them, saying that he's currently hanging out with two other friends.

Working for United Liberty Paper
Betrayed by his girlfriend, Niko begins to work for a government agency called United Liberty Paper. Niko's contact in the agency gives Niko several missions to eliminate various Russians located in the city, such as Oleg Minkov.



In one of the contact's last missions, he sends Niko to eliminate the Russian businessman Eduard Borodin, who has been financing terrorist groups. The contact decides to send Jacob as a support to Niko.

Jacob and Niko take a Maverick helicopter (previously owned by Borodin's men, but was stolen by Niko under the contact's requests), and track down Borodin's Maverick, flying over Algonquin. In order to no hurt citizens, the two follow Borodin to the sea beyond the city. Jacob pulls a Rocket Launcher and destroys Borodin's helicopter, killing the Russian businessman in the progress. Niko then flies Jacob to the helitours helipad.

Jacob appears in both ending of Grand Theft Auto IV: Deal and Revenge. In both endings he plays a similar role.

Losing to his anger, Niko begins to shoot and kick the killer's corpse, but Jacob stops him telling him that they will find Dimitri and his associate Jimmy Pegorino and make them pay.

The following day, Jacob calls Niko, telling him he found two Pegorinos. Niko and Jacob follow Pegorino's men to an old casino in Alderney. Pegorino's men begin to shoot at them, leading Jacob and Niko to hide behind their car. While Jacob is willing to fight the mobsters, Niko wants to deal with them alone, asking Jacob to bring a transportation method instead; Jacob runs away from the casino.

After Niko fought his way in the casino, withnessing Dimitri executing Pegorino, Niko chases him on aboat, while Dimitri is on a helicopter. Jacob then arrives in an Annihilator, and Niko jumps off the boat to the helicopter. The two continue their chase after Dimitri. Both helicopters are crushed on Happiness Island, leading Niko to chase Dimitri down on foot. After finishing off Dimitri, Niko and Jacob leave the island. Revenge= "Alright, me breda. Dat blood clot be inna de place. I an' I been following him for a time, seen? Me tink his next step is wit Pegorino. We follow him there, seen?"

An enraged Niko is calmed down by Jacob and Roman, who promise him that they will find Pegorino.



The following day, Jacob calls Niko, telling him he and Roman found two Pegorinos. Niko, Jacob and Roman follow Pegorino's men to an old casino in Alderney. Pegorino's men begin to shoot at them, leading Jacob and Niko to hide behind their car.

Personality
Little Jacob reveals considerably less about his personal life than other friendship characters. Instead, he and Niko often insightfully discuss philosophy and concerns for other people they know. According to Badman during his random encounter, Jacob has a girlfriend that he loves very much and often treats to gifts (which Jacob mentions once himself). Jacob and Badman once had a third friend nicknamed Grandad who could keep Badman calm, but he has since then moved to Jamaica. One of Jacob's best traits is loyalty, as he always stands by Niko and goes out of his way to help him.

Jacob is a typical Rastafarian who speaks in Iyaric (terms like "I and I", "Brother" and "Rasta"), discusses Jah, Rasta and Zionist ideals with Niko, and finds most non-Ital food and weed distasteful (ironically, his first appearance in the game is a brief cutscene outside a Burger Shot and he also likes the food in Cluckin Bell). His accent is difficult to understand, but much easier in comparison on to Badman's near-impenetrable Jamaican patois, so Jacob often acts as translator. He loves reggae music, particularly the stations Tuff Gong Radio (an all-Bob Marley station) and Massive B Soundsystem 96.9. He mentions being a huge fan of reggae artist Sonny Bradshaw, calling him his "uncle" spiritually. Niko agrees that "he plays good music" but sadly he is not featured on the game's soundtrack. Jacob and Niko also both like Bobby Konders.

Jacob constantly smokes marijuana (even during the helicopter chase in Paper Trail), seeing it as "enlightenment", although other times he says he is trying to quit. He often speaks of his concern for Badman smoking too much marijuana and becoming highly paranoid (an effect that Jacob does not experience). Jacob confesses that he thinks Badman could try to kill him out of paranoia.

Apearance
Jacob is a dark-tanned man with a long and curly hair tied up who often wears black sunglasses with orange lenses. Jacob also features a short circle beard. Through the game, Jacob shows three different outfits:


 * Casuel outfit - Jacob's regualr outfit, in which he is seen the most. This outfit consists a large old brown jacket on black shirt that has a yellow circle on it and a pair of baige pants that are lightly held with a black belt. The outfit is completed with baige shoes.
 * Second causel outfit - Often refered as the "Zebra" outfit. This outfit consists a dark-green sleeveless jacket on a green sweater with purple stripes, hence the outfit's name. Jacob is seen wearing the "Zebra" outfit during "The Snow Storm".
 * Event outfit - A rather formal outfit. Similar to the Zebra outfit, this outfit consists a sleeveless jacket on a sweater, only in this outfit, the jacket is black while the sweater is white. This outfit is completed with a pair of black pants and baige shoes. Jacob is seen wearing this outfit during "Mr and Mrs Bellic" and the following mission. Jacob may also be seen wearing this outfits during hang outs and when he meets Niko to sell him wepaons.

Friendship
Following the mission "Shadow", Jacob becomes available as a friend, triggered by a phone call in which he asks Niko to either hang out with him, or to drive him to a certain location. Jacob is the second friend introduced in Grand Theft Auto IV. Jacob is available between 1 PM to 4 AM.

Similar to the other friends in the game (save for Brucie Kibbutz), there are six activities that the player can do with Jacob: Drinking, Eating, Pool, Strip Club, Show, and Darts.

Jacob's favorite locations to eat are fast food restaurants, particularly the Cluckin' Bell. Jacob's favorite drinking place is Club Liberty.
