It will never dieđ
So, onwards to some half interpretation, half headcanon or just complete utter rambling from my side about Jacobâs purpose. He always goes on and on about otherâs purpose and reveals his own in the very last part of his campaign:
So he sees himself as only there to die for his brother. That is his purpose and following his own principles, he shall fulfil it. Even gladly.
There is another interesting part in âThe Book of Josephâ that can be combined with this statement:
âEvery member  of  the  family  is  ready  to  die  for  our  Project,  but from  them,  Jacob  has  selected  three  hundred  warriors.  Many of  them  are  former  soldiers.  They are  the  fiercest  and  the  most  skilled. Â
They form  an  elite  troop  of  three  hundred  Spartans  who  will guard  the  entrances  to  our  refuges,  against  which  the  waves of  violence  and  despair  will  crash.  Until  everything  quiets down.â
- Book of Joseph, Chapter 12
So we get a definite number of how many hunters/warriors Jacob has. 300. They are even called Spartans by Joseph. Almost everyone should know who the Spartans were, and when the number 300 is associated with Sparta, the talk often is about the âBattle of Thermopylaeâ:
âThe Battle of Thermopylae was fought between an alliance of Greek city-states, led by King Leonidas of Sparta, and the Persian Empire of Xerxes I over the course of three days. Leonidas, aware that his force was being outflanked, dismissed the bulk of the Greek army and remained to guard their retreat with 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians, fighting to the death. [âŠ] One theory provided by Herodotus is that Leonidas sent away the remainder of his men because he cared about their safety. The soldiers who stayed behind were to protect their escape against the Persian cavalry. â
- Wikipedia
Combining this leads to an interpretation, that Jacob and his Hunters were always meant to die in the act of protecting the rest of the Project at Edenâs Gate against those who would come to them after the Collapse began. All the people who despised them formerly and then wanted to save themselves into their bunkers â be it by force and violence, they should be kept away and fought back by Jacob and his 300 âSpartansâ.
They were always meant to sacrifice themselves for Joseph and the others whom they protected. That was their purpose.Â
What I also found quite interesting in that, was when Joseph tells you about his past and Jacob stands in the background, the viewpoint zooms in until Jacob is blurred and unrecognisable in the background. BUT the very moment Joseph says the word âsacrificeâ, you can see Jacob again. The following screen is taken in that very moment Joseph says âsacrificeâ, but the subtitles do not match with the spoken word - you can check yourself if you really want to.
Now we do not know whether Joseph was aware of this and he told Jacob about his purpose or whether Jacob came to the conclusion of his true purpose by himself. But add Josephâs words after he admits to killing his own baby daughter in order to follow his path with Edenâs Gate:
After Joseph revealed this, he leaves, telling Jacob he has âdone wellâ. Then  Jacob steps forwards and simply opens the music box. There is no commentary coming from him whatsoever. No mockery, no speech about âpurposeâ. He doesnât even look at the Deputy â and when you look at his face, you see that he seems distant, somehow somber as if what Joseph just told you hit home a lot more than he liked and he is in his own thoughts. Joseph will serve God, no matter what he asks. Be it killing his own daughter or sacrificing his own brother.Â
Personal emotions and bonds donât seem to have a place there, but Jacob seems to understand and really accept it. As he tells you with himself and his past with Miller: âIt wasnât something I wanted⊠it was something that I had to do. It was, it was my test.â and âMillerâs sacrifice wasnât about me walking out of that desert. It was about bringing me here.â
To his true purpose. To be Josephâs test, to be the protector, to be the sacrifice. Jacob knew he would never see the end of the Project, he would never see the new world. Because he was meant to be sacrificed in the process. Either when the collapse came or before it, because:
And maybe that is why he repeatedly tells the Deputy that they are no hero. They are a tool, trained by Jacob to kill Eli - and ultimately fulfil the sacrifice and kill him, too.
 Because heroes sacrifice themselves for others. Just like Leonidas and his 300 have created a âhero cultâ - Jacob and his 300 would have been the true heroes because they were meant to be the sacrifice to ensure survival of the other brothers and sisters. They would not âwinâ, but they would have been heroes in their death.

Jacob heard Johnâs wailing the moment he and Joseph hopped off the school bus and felt his stomach drop and an all too familiar feeling of dread creep through his body. Their neighbour, Mrs OâGrady, was sitting out on her porch, waiting for the boys to head down their driveway.
âPoor thingâs been crying all afternoon,â she said once they were in earshot, eyeing the two elder Seed siblings with concern. He prayed that it was an exaggeration, but Jacob knew it was more than likely the truth. His father worked days, his mother disappearing to god only knew where for hours at a time to escape from the miserable life sheâd created for herself.
He could only hope that theyâd stay gone until he, Joseph and John were all in bed and asleep. It was better that way, Old Man Seed wouldnât have a chance to yell at him, and he wouldnât have to listen to his motherâs pathetic sniffles as she stood by and did nothing.
Jacob just glared at Mrs OâGrady. âMind your own fucking business,â he snarled, wrenching open the front door and marching inside, tossing his bag on the couch without a care. Heâd fix it up later before his parents returned, but for now he had to focus on John.
Poor, crying John, left on his own for who knew how long. Not for the first time, and certainly not the last, Jacob felt the familiar hatred rise in his stomach.
âJacobâŠâ Joseph began, eyeing his elder brother nervously. He wasnât afraid of him, knew that Jacob would rather die than let anything happen to him or John, but he recognised that familiar set to his shoulders all too well, saw the rage, the wrath written clear as day across his face.
âIâll take care of it, Joe.âÂ
