Jacob Nive was a Human male who employed himself as a pirate with the Eyttyrmin Batiiv organization based on Courkrus during the Galactic Civil War. When the band was all but wiped out by Imperial forces, he became the leader of their remnants, dubbed the Khuiumin Survivors. An intelligent tactician and a man of handsome bearing, Nive typically wore his blond hair in a long braid. He was a competent leader who cared about his men and enjoyed drinking lum in moderation.
