Jacob was born at home on October 23, 1983, to Andrew Valentine and Jessica Valentine. The birth was thankfully uncomplicated, and with the considerable wealth of the family he received all the medical attention he needed without hospital care.
Jacob was put in public schools - his father had been a self-made millionaire, and he attributed it towards being grounded in reality. Even at a young age, Jacob's teachers noted he was self-centered and ruthlessly ambitious, even for a kid his age. He excelled at pretty much everything he had put his mind to, and often put his mind to new things, growing bored with previous challenges when he surpassed them.
When Jacob was fifteen, he was informed of his family's connections to the cult. A great deal of his life suddenly clicked. No wonder he had been born so talented and skilled. The cult was built around the idea of apotheosis, and helping their leader achieve this for himself. This did not suit Mr. Valentine. If someone was to achieve a state of divinity, it would be him.
Jacob graduated top of his class. He had countless scholarships offered him, and while he took several semesters abroad, he primarily remained focused on his studies at Argos University. At twenty-two, he achieved a masters degree in Business Administration. He had some long-standing relationship with his high school sweet-heart, the wealth of his (tragically deceased) parents and their corporate assets, his good looks, and the talk of the town. He was living the American Dream, on the surface.
"But what good is being the hero, when you want to be a God?" mused Jacob. He often wondered if this would quell the desires in his heart. Somewhere, down inside himself, he doubted it.
