This article is about the Video Game character. You may be looking for the season two Fear character, the season three Fear character, the novel series character, or the special effects makeup artist.

Why?! This fucking guy! WHY?! Because we gotta, that's why!
―Jake explains why are they raiding people to Lee Everett. (Determinant)[src]

Jake is an original character and an antagonist who first appeared in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: Season One. He is the leader of the Save-Lots Bandits. He served as the primary antagonist of the episode "Long Road Ahead".

Pre-Apocalypse

Rural Georgia

Nothing is known about Jake's life prior to or as the outbreak began. He may have worked at the Save-Lots along with his fellow bandits.

Post-Apocalypse

Season 1

Jake, along with his group of bandits attacked Ben Paul, Travis, and David Parker's camp during the apocalypse, stealing and recovering supplies from the survivors. Ben catches a glimpse of them before he, Travis, and David flee from the camp.

"Starved For Help"

When Lee and the group of survivors witness Jake confronting another bandit about the issue of food, Ben immediately states that he recognizes them and says that they look like the ones who raided his camp. They hide in the bushes and witness the two bandits argue until Jake becomes enraged, causing him to open fire and shoot his accomplice multiple times, even though he was dead after the first shot. In anger, he walks away from his former "colleague's" corpse, calling him an "asshole".

He later attacked Mark and Lee on the dairy farm from the forest with several other bandits while the two were checking on the electric fence. He is later seen at the end of the episode in a recording on Jolene's camera with more unnamed bandits.

"Long Road Ahead"

Jake is seen assisting in the capture of the motor inn crew (Ben Paul, Kenny, Katjaa, Duck, Carley/Doug, and Clementine) and holding them at gunpoint with Linda, Gary, and Drew. Lee confronts them to draw their attention while Lilly sneaks upstairs with her sniper rifle. Once Lee gets the bandit to calm down (Determinant), Lilly shoots him in the head.

Apparently, Ben had worked out some sort of agreement with them to slip some of his group's medical supplies and place them in a grate for them outside the inn. Lee investigates the missing supplies problem and recovers them from the grate minutes before the gang of bandits attacks the Travelier Motel. The attack is spurred presumably by Lee removing the supplies.

Lee and Lilly kill most of the bandits holding their friends, although there were more hiding in the foliage outside of the walls. They are given enough time to escape in the RV, although Katjaa splits her head open and Duck is bitten by a walker.

Death

Killed By
  • Lee Everett (Caused)
  • Lilly

As soon as the bandits invaded the Travelier Motel and captured the group, Lilly climbed out of one of the motel's upstairs windows with a rifle and shot Jake through the head while he was distracted by Lee.

Killed Victims

This list shows the victims Jake has killed:

  • Bandit 2
  • Duck (Indirectly Caused)
  • Katjaa (Indirectly Caused)
  • Carley (Indirectly Caused, Determinant)
  • Doug (Indirectly Caused, Determinant)
  • Possibly numerous counts of Stone Mountain High School members
  • Possibly a few unnamed St. John's Dairy farmhands
  • Possibly numerous counts of zombies and unnamed people

Relationships

Linda

Oh, shit!
―Linda after the bandit's death.[src]

Jake and Linda do not interact on screen, but it can be assumed that they are an efficient team as they easily rounded up the motor inn survivors in a matter of seconds. They work with their bandit compatriots to keep the hostages secure. She was shocked at her leader's sudden demise.

Drew

Drew, start puttin' your boot to these doors!
―The bandit giving Drew orders.[src]

Not much is know about the two, but it can be assumed that Jake looks to him a right-hand-man, giving him two (Determinant) orders during the attack on the motor inn, despite there being two other bandits along side him. He was shocked at his leader's sudden demise.

Gary

Man, shut up or I'll--
―The bandit threatening Gary, and also his last words. (Determinant)[src]

Jake and Gary were on extremely negative terms. In the few moments they are shown together, they seem rather hostile towards each other. The reason for their strained relationship may be because Gary and another bandit have been keeping food for themselves. He was shocked at his leader's sudden demise.

Bandit 2

FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! (...) ASSHOLE!
―The bandit to Bandit 2 while shooting him several times.[src]

It is clear that these two bandits had a hostile relationship. The two men were arguing because the second bandit and Gary were keeping food for themselves. After he taunts the Jake, he becomes so enraged that he shoots the other bandit several times without hesitation while violently insulting him the entire time.

Jolene

Jolene sought refuge at her place of employment, Save Lots, with her daughter post-apocalypse. There, she met a group of bandits who she attempted to join, showing that she may have once trusted them or had faith in them when they first met. Instead, they supposedly raped her and took away her daughter Danielle, causing her to despise them and form plans to kill them.

Lee Everett

Listen to this hard motherfucker!
―The bandit to others about Lee's hardness. (Determinant)[src]

Jake and Lee had an incredibly hostile relationship since bandits' aggressive events at St. John's Dairy Farm. Their direct meeting has happened daring bandits' attack on the Travelier Motel, and their relationship towards each other has been bad as before until bandit's death.
