Jake hails from the northern foothills of the uppermost region in the Hintertuxen Gletscher of western Austria. The boy was spawn of two great western leaders, father Capernicatus, and mother Spicumitums. Capernicatus was a self taught genius whom strove for perfection through an ever expanding collection of snail shells which were arranged around their modest home chronologically, and named according to personality. Spicumitums was a multifaceted woman of the night, and she was delightfully humorous with a hint of intellectuality.
