Jake Muller

Does he know Wesker was my father?

Jake Muller is the son of Albert Wesker and a mercenary.

Biography
Jake Muller is the son of late Umbrella eugenicist; virologist and bioterrorist Albert Wesker, who left Jake's mother soon after. Without Albert, Jake soon found work as a mercenary in order to support his mother.

Operating in anti-government operations in the Eastern European republic of Edonia, Jake was caught up in an act of bioterrorism. Jake's mercenary comrades were infected with the "C-Virus", which his specialized blood resisted. Soon after, he met US government agent Sherry Birkin - whose father, William Birkin, was coincidentally a research partner of Albert's. Sherry and Jake took part in the subsequent battle between the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance and the mutated mercenaries.

Being resistant to the downside-effects of mutagenic viruses like his father, Jake's blood was sought after during the bioterrorist attacks taking place world-wide. He was willing to hand over his blood to be used in the treatment, as long as he received money in exchange, of course.

Appearance
Jake has many similar features to his father but he sports red crew cut style hair. He also has a large scar on his left cheek.

He wears a navy blue double breasted coat with spider patch and blue pants, with a olive green t-shirt, matching boyscout style belt, ammo holsters, finger-cut green gloves and black combat boots. Later, Jake is seen wearing a black long-sleeve shirt with a low-cut v-neck, black leather gloves, a hip holster with suspender straps and black pants with black combat boots.

Personality
Much about Jake is still a mystery, but it seems he is a very solitary and selfish personality, trusting only in the power of money. When approached by Sherry Birkin with the prospect of helping to save the world, payment is the only thing on his mind. Even in the middle of a battle with the Ustanak, Jake's main concern is reminding Sherry about the money he's owed. It should be noted Jake originally states to be paid $200,000 upfront and another $200,000 in the end. When fighting the Ustanak, Jake casually mentions, "I hope you haven't forgotten about my fifty million dollars," perhaps a joking (or not) remark on the number of B.O.W.s he's killed (for which he said he was charging extra).

Later, Jake is seen possibly being protective of Sherry. When the pair meet up with Leon S. Kennedy and Helena Harper, Leon raises his voice at Sherry and steps close to her as he tries to get answers to his questions. Jake immediately steps between them and shoves Leon away violently. Jake is also seen later helping Sherry to her feet and holding her hand as she gets her bearings. How much of this is natural human empathetic instinct, actual caring, or a concern with making sure she lives so he can get paid is questionable.

Trivia

 * Jake relies on close combat or melee, as seen in the trailer of RE6, though it seems he will have his share of gunplay. He appears to use a 1911 pistol.
 * Some of Jake's melee moves are similar to his father Albert Wesker.
 * It is interesting to note it appears Sherry Birkin and him will be paired together for most of the game. This is possibly a reference to Albert Wesker being research collegue and friend of Sherry's father, William Birkin.
 * During the Captivate trailer, Chris noticed a similarity between Jake and Albert Wesker.
