Jake Pentecost

Jake Pentecost is a male film character who features in Pacific Rim.

Biography

Jake Pentecost was the human male son of Stacker Pentecost where his relationship with his father grew strained over his parent's service in the Pan Pacific Defense Corps. As a Jaeger pilot, Stacker Pentecost operated as a Ranger and fought against the gargantuan Kaiju in defense o humanity. This meant that he was rarely there to be with this son which fuelled the rift between them. This only grew when his father brought in an older girl named Mako Mori who had been orphaned in an attack. Mori had been adopted into the Pentecost family with Jake expected to look up to his older sister but this caused him to grow more distant to his father.

During Jake's time in the academy, he meets Nathan Lambert, another aspiring Jaeger pilot. The two become friends and eventually co-pilots. Burdened with the expectations to honor his father's legacy, Jake chooses to disregard his personal safety to gain his father's approval. After getting into argument with Nate about his ability to pilot a Jaeger without him, Jake attempts to pilot a Mark-4 Jaeger on his own and collapses under the strain of the neural load after two steps. In 2025, Jake learns of his father's death during the Battle of the Breach. Following his disbandment from the PPDC, Jake turns to a life of crime. He relocates to Santa Monica, operating as a Black Market dealer, Jake trades with various other deals for a verity of goods, primarily foodstuffs. Occasionally, Jake makes a profit off of the parts of the original Jaegers dumped in the Santa Monica Jaeger Scrapyard that remain in destroyed areas of the Pacific Rim where the poor attempt to eke out a living.

Jake is asked by Sonny to obtain a plasma capacitor from a decommissioned Jaeger, Romeo Blue, from the Santa Monica Scrapyard. Sonny and his men accompany Jake into the scrapyard where he leads him into the Conn-Pod. Inside, Sonny warns Jake not to double-cross him, as his recent string of betrayals have put him on thin ice. Jake uses a tracking device to pinpoint the location of the plasma capacitor. He realizes that the capacitor is moving and no longer inside the Conn-Pod. Sonny wrongly assumes that Jake has decided to betray him anyway. Jake tries to explain that he can still get them the capacitor, but is forced to flee when they begin shooting at him. Jake is pursued through Romeo Blue, evading certain capture. He runs toward a sealed hatch and appears to be trapped. Sonny and men converge on Jake and prepare him to kill him when they step onto a hatch Jake is already aware of. Using his foot, he steps on the mechanism that opens the hatch and traps them down below. With Sonny out of the way, Jake continues to pursue the moving target with his tracking device until he reaches an exit. Thief escapes with the capacitor as the police arrive, preventing Jake from following immediately.
