Biography

Jakobi Malkom was born to Chan Eduardo and Sylvie in Fort James in 21 Summer, 1899. His parents were close to a Jakobi couple who were also fervent Revisionists who had a daughter named Jakobi Felicity. It was natural that the two should be twin bonded. Marriage was arranged between the two as a matter of course and took place before the two left for training. Unfortunately, the War of the Alliance erupted and Malkom was thrown into combat as soon as he graduated training. The Bear Malkom was assigned to was converted to a Mauler Bear and he was assigned to protect against GREL troopers. Malkom was injured in the final push and spent a season in the infirmary recovering. As he did so, Malkom had learned his mother died in riots caused by the War of the Alliance. After serving in Operation: CUSTODIAL ENGINEER. an attempt to curtail Badlanders who had taken advantage of the War of the Alliance, Malkom had reached his commitment and had opted out of service, in order to take care of the family side of things. Jakobi Felcity had found her calling, however and remained in the service. Lieutenant Jakobi Felicity of the 43rd Northern Gear Regiment was killed in action combating a particularly vicious Rover gang in 1926. Jakobi Felicity and her squad mates remains were found not far from the battle site, having been desecrated

Jakobi Malkom did the only sensible WFP thing to do. He made sure his children were taken care of, his accounts were in order, and then went off to hunt down the rovers that killed his wife. Seven years later, Malkom returned to the Western Frontier Protectorate and rejoined the WFPA. Not willing to come directly into contact with his family, Malkom keeps his distance while serving to rebuild his honor and reputation.
