Jakob

Personality:   Jakob also known as the Cult Leader, is the penultimate boss encountered in The Nameless City, and the secondary antagonist in the game. His voice can be heard throughout the game as he taunts the player. He appears exclusively in E3M10: Dusk and serves as one of two bosses in the level. Jakob is the leader of The Cult and is apparently omniscient. Jakob's boss theme is Keepers of the Gate. He appears as a man with black hair, brown eyes with bloody bags, white skin, and the Cult symbol on his forehead. He is dressed in a brown coat, grey pants, and brandishes a Super Shotgun. His eyelids appear to have been cut off, as shown by the bulging eyes and blood surrounding them. Jakob’s Cult is made up of several inhabitants of the rural backwoods along the outskirts of DUSK, Pennsylvania. Their organization is led by a single leader, who must prove that they are worthy of leading by defeating the previous cult leader in a duel. The Cult's practices are mainly centered around worship of the Lovecraftian horror Nyarlathotep (and possibly even Shub-Niggurath). Cult members are extremely zealous and are prejudiced against outsiders and non-believers. They believe that all who are not part of their faith should be killed on sight, including protagonist, Duskdude. Members of the Cult make their presence known through the usage of their symbol, which is displayed in several locations throughout the game and appears on the robes of all Mages, and Wizards. Some members seem to favour the use of tall, pointed hoods as part of their dress, though whether this is required for their faith is unknown. Additionally, the Cult members have various framed photographs of their leader in their homes and businesses.
