Jacob Bishop is 17, but lives alone after his parents died in a Pipeworks accident. Now he works alone at the green house. He is one of the few people who have keys to the Pipeworks supplies and a job he likes. After his parents died it was apart of his ceremony that he was able to pick his job, which is a very rare thing and with his interest in plants he picked the green house. Jacob has always been interested in technology and the generator. With out him Amber would have never gotten the tools to stop the generator long enough for them to leave and to stop the boats from all leaving with out his key. Also Jacob was the one who found the diamond in the large safe and found out how to use it while Amber found the map.
