Jacob Higgs is a Black Knight and the younger brother of Evie Higgs. He served aboard a Black Knight ship until he was arrested for theft and sent to Port Sarim Jail. He was later kidnapped by the slaver "Iron Link" Jed during the Port Sarim Invasion. He has a close relationship with his sister Evie. They both have great knowledge of boats, and when Evie got word of his kidnapping, she signed up to the crew of the Sarim's Revenge immediately, deserting the Kinshra in the process.
