Jake wears a black t-shirt, a pair of torn jeans and has a green checkered shirt tied around his waist. He also has what appears to be a mono-brow and green eyes with snake-like vertical pupils. Although he has shaved his head at the beginning of Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, Jake originally had a blonde mullet prior to the game's events. Jake is an obese man presumed to be in his late twenties or early thirties. However, Jake's loyalty towards the organization can prove to be his downfall, as 50 Blessings will, depending on the player's choice, go out of their way to silence him for knowing too much about their operation. In stark contrast to other 50 Blessings operatives such as Jacket, Biker and Richter, Jake is extremely loyal and passionately vocal towards 50 Blessings' cause, voicing his dedication to help the organization in their goals, much to their dismay. Due to owning a Confederate flag in his apartment and hoping to get a tattoo of "Old Dixie" on his shoulder, it is implied that Jake may be a neo-Confederate. His prejudiced nature towards Russians is also highly emphasized in the digital comic, where he is shown to sadistically get enjoyment out of violently assaulting Russian citizens during a riot.

He harbors an immense hatred towards Russians and is very quick to voice his contempt for them. In each of his appearances, Jake is shown to be hot-headed, impulsive and boastful xenophobe. Oh, is that so? What kind of business are you running here? You just lost yourself a customer, you Russian asshole!
