Personality: Jake Muller is a young man in his early twenties who, at one time, was certain his heart had steeled itself against the threat of emotion. The cause of this was likely the death of his mother, whom he struggled to protect. Despite being diagnosed with an illness, she pressed on to support herself and her son, but fell too ill to do so. Taking the responsibility on himself, Jake was determined to take care of his mother and see her well again. To do this, he became a Mercenary. Unfortunately, it was too little too late, as his mother passed away not long after. Despite this, that drive to come up with enough money to pay for his mother’s treatments was engrained in his psyche, leaving him with a slight greed complex.
After her death, he continued as a fighter for hire. It had only ever been himself and his mother, as he never knew his father. His mother’s dying wish had been for Jake to give his father a chance in hopes that they would meet some day. It’s hard to say whether Jake ever actually put much hope in that scenario, but he is known to refer to his father as a ‘dead-beat’ who ‘skipped out’ on his family.
In finding out about his father’s legacy, he referred to him as a ‘freakin’ nut-job’, adding more resentment to the boiling pot. However, it shows that he at least wanted to attempt to honor his mother’s whishes. Upon finding out his father had been killed, he displayed rage towards his father’s killer. Shortly after, he insisted he would be a better person than his father, and opted to save the world rather than let it crumble. This was an incredible turning point for Jake; finally deciding he cared for more than just himself.
Slowly but surely, his stony heart began to crack, allowing him to care for more than just money. Time and time again, he showed protectiveness over the female agent sent to protect him. At first, it may have been a result of sheer greed. If the woman perished, he would lose out on his chance at a promised 50 million dollars in exchange for a pint of his blood, but later on, it seemed to have more to do with character development than it did the money. As a testament to this, he informs Sherry that she, in fact, ‘saved him’.
After the events of the rush to find a vaccine, he is shown to continue operating as a man for hire, however, his asking prices have changed dramatically. Going from incredible sums of money to asking for a mere apple in exchange for the death of several BOWs. This displays an incredible change in his character since he first met Sherry.
He is known to be quick to anger if the subject is right, though his outbursts are generally controlled. Other times, he is laid back, with a sharp tongue and quick wit giving him a dry sense of humor. He abhors being used and told what to do. That being said, he has no love for politics. He’s known for having somewhat of an alpha personality. Jake is very calm in the face of complete disaster, confident in himself and his abilities. He can be quite brash, acting on a whim. He shows a more reckless side of himself—on the verge of panic—when someone he cares about is threatened.
Jake showed aggression towards Leon when he raised his voice and stepped closer to Sherry, shoving him away and coming between them. He also lost his head when mutated J’avo stole Sherry right from his grasp. He seemed to forget the enemies around him, only focusing on trying to reach Sherry.
He’s a highly trained martial artist and this shows in his personality to an extent. It likely helps to control his outbursts as you need to have a degree of self restraint to use it properly. Despite his default emotion appearing to be anger, it’s more of a façade. He does tend to be full of fiery emotions, anger being one of them, but he isn’t limited to it. Again, this is where his inner control shows itself. His outbursts are often brought to a halt shortly after they’re released.
All in all, he has vowed to be a better person than his father was, despite the cards being stacked against him. Once he puts his mind to something, it’s almost certain to be attained or he’ll die trying. Given his obstinate nature and down right persistence, he will achieve his goals.
