Jacob Salvatore Malone (a.k.a. The Snake)

Dark Chicago      Jake the Snake

Description

A wiry, sharp-featured man with slicked-back dark hair and a grin that never reaches his cold, reptilian eyes. He dresses sharp for a street dealer—pressed slacks, shiny shoes, cheap but flashy rings, and a snakeskin belt he claims is from “real jungle stock.” He moves like he’s always circling something — or someone.

Personality

Jake is a cold-blooded tactician who treats the street like a chessboard. He doesn’t just want power — he wants control. He’d rather destabilize his rivals with rumors and bad deals than gunfire, though he’s not afraid to drop a body if it makes a point. He views loyalty as a currency, and every interaction is a transaction.

Habits

Paranoid as hell — triple-checks every deal, never takes the same route twice
Snake obsessed — owns a python named Vinnie and wears snake-patterned ties or belts
Smokes imported cigarettes — claims they’re French, likely not
Keeps dossiers on local dealers and gang lieutenants like a little blackmail bible

Hooks & Angles

Has dirt on at least one Southside Sinner, but hasn’t played that card yet
Secretly paying off a CPD beat cop to tip him off on raids
Wants to broker a fragile truce with the Bone Rats — not out of fear, but to box in the Sinners
May have been connected to a botched ICB shipment last month, but covered it up well
