Robert Jacob is the main protagonist of Venture: The Lost Mines of Mirefield.

Background
The Jacob family once lived in the flourishing town of Stormstar, east of the city of Coldspell and at the edge of the Coldspell Forest. But when Mount Golster erupted forty-five years ago, Robert's parents fled, carrying him in his infancy. The Jacobs drifted from city to city around the region, finding work as maids or peons where they could.

Robert is married, and has raised his daughter, Robyn, in Coldspell for the last few years. Robert is currently holding a job as a porter at the city’s lively dock. But it is clear to Robert and everyone around him that he is destined for much more. He once stood up to an abusive ship captain, so the rest of the longshoremen look up to him. Someday, Robert will become a hero.
