Jacob (Hub)

Jacob (aka Jake) is an arms dealer in the Hub in Fallout.

Background
A former member of the Union of Atomic Workers, Jacob is the top weapons dealer in the vast Hub. Operating out of the Old Town, he offers plenty of high end weapons for sale, including rechambered sniper rifles, rare Geiger counters, and even second generation combat armor. He doesn't miss the Union, as a few years after he left, the entire organization was wiped out by hostile mutants.

He's known for high prices, but with price comes quality. Understandably, the Hub Police is not too thrilled with high powered weapons on the market and they've harassed him repeatedly, however, he's known to be an honest merchant to those who wind up in Old Town. Although he deals in rare wares, he focuses exclusively on weapons, as it's a market with seemingly bottomless demand. He's been known to sell such rarities as depleted uranium rounds. <!-- In Error?

You can't see it, you can't hear it, you can't even smell it. It basically builds up in your system. You never feel it until it's too late. The more trips you make to Hot Spots, the more it builds up and it will never leave your system. Ever. The Rads just keep building up. Well... unless you can get a hold of some Rad-Away.}"'' (HUBJAKE.MSG)

I've heard the guys at the Brotherhood of Steel pack some pretty powerful hardware too, so you might check them out.}
