Pike Family/Jacob

Jacob Pike is the younger brother to Harriman Pike. When it was finally Jacob's his time too leave the family home in Leers he decided he did not want to live in the direct shadow of Harriman. If Jacob was going to make a name for himself he wanted wanted to make it based on his deeds in a realm and did not want to compete with his brother. Harriman told him that Hammarsett was a growing realm in need of good knights. Harriman had some good friends up there and Jacob would be sure to have a good place to prove himself and grow. Jacob felt that it was acceptable while he was gaining his position because the people knew his brother it was far enough away from him that they should not be compared and it would not be said that Jacob relied on his brother for help. Once there he become a knight in service to King Regulus in the region of Cheltenborne. The first thing Jacob did when he got to his new estates was to enlarge them so they could better serve Regulus. After a short period of time he marched to Crahandan to help bring it under Hammarsett's control.
