First Lieutenant Jacob Taylor was a former Cerberus operative and a former member of the Corsairs, and was a member of the Normandy Squad. Born on Earth, Jacob's father was largely never around to properly look after him, and his mother died of an illness just after he left university. He later joined the Systems Alliance Marine Corps, where he served for several years with distinction. Because of his military professionalism, strict adherence to authority and overall skill in combat, especially in terms of his biotics. He was chosen by the SIA to serve in the Corsairs, and executed numerous black ops missions across Alliance and Hegemony space, the largest of which was Operation: WOLF BITE. He was later left unemployed when the Alliance dissolved the Corsairs after Operation: TEUTOBURG. However, Cerberus took note of his reputation and offered to hire him; he grudgingly accepted, joining their military division.

After the Collector campaign however, he quit Cerberus and went rogue, seeking out and performing hit-and-run missions against Cerberus facilities and leaked the information of known Cerberus installations and phony corporations. He later rescued a group of defecting Cerberus scientists, falling in love with their leader Doctor Brynn Cole, marrying her and getting her pregnant. He was murdered during the Battle of Noveria by Kai Leng.
