Jacob the Upended

Jacob the Upended hails from the Shire of Bitter End in the principality of Avacal. He began actively participating in the Current Middle Ages in the year A.S. XXXV, being 2000 Gregorian. He currently still resides in the Shire of Bitter End.

In the past Jacob has served as Bitter End's herald in office and in presence. Some would claim he fits the role naturally, having a talent for bellowing and a difficulty keeping his mouth shut.

Jacob has been seen in the company of Admiral Lord Elrik Buchanan of Montengarde and HL Captain Sybell Nathayra Deya of Bitter End frequently, and just prior to Bitter End's Harvest Feast this year he signed aboard HL Sybell's vessel the Stiletto as the Quartermaster.

Jacob is known to favour rum of any kind and has a distaste for the company of Norsemen following a series of altercations involving the Grump Fenrik of the Lost Vikings. He also has a distatse for the company of late-period 'gentlemen' following several altercations with Ambrose Silverharp of Bitter End, also known as Ambrose Dwarfflinger. In truth, Jacob gets along almost exclusively with pirates and their sympathizers.

Much to his chagrin, Jacob was awarded an Award of Arms by King Gunnarr and Queen Gabriell of An Tir on 9 November A.S. XXXVIII, being 2003 Gregorian, for conspicuous merit assisting Alen Bendbow with voice heraldry at the September, A.S. XXXVIII Crown Tournament event held by the Barony of Borealis. Despite his best efforts Jacob is still seen by some as an upstanding member of the Nobility, occasional indulgences aside.
