Overview[]
Jake Hernandez was originally a member of the Lukano Liberation Army, being Daniel Winston's second-in-command. However, Jake was selfish and greedy, so he betrayed the group to Giorgio Zott in return for a large payment. Upon hearing that Alicia Winston had managed to escape, he set out to capture her too so he could collect the bounty on her.
In an Astigos Island town, Jake finds Alicia and tells her that he was the only one who managed to escape. While she was distracted, he pulled a handgun on her and revealed his true affiliations, wanting to capture her for even more money. However, he was unaware of her combat capabilities and had to flee after a short battle.
At the Zagorian military facility, Jake realized that the V.S.S.E. would defeat the Zagorias Federation Army and managed to persuade several soldiers to separate a tactical missile and load it into a V-TOL so he could sell it for the highest bidder. As he made his way to the V-TOL, he accidentally ran into his former Lukano comrades. Alicia pursued Jake into the aircraft hangar where he and his men attempted to stop her but failed. With the V-TOL taking too much damage, he armed the payload and threatened to detonate it, but Alicia managed to pull a well-timed headshot, destroying the detonator and killing Jake. Subsequently, the V-TOL he was on crashed down the cliff and exploded, further confirming his death.
