Jake

The character Jake (translated Jeik in the Japanese version) is one of the numerous characters to recruit in Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi, Monshō no Nazo, and Shadow Dragon and also has the status of being a recurring character, along with his romantic interest Anna, a red haired female. However unlike Jake, Anna is never shown as a playable character, as she appears either only in a specific house or is shown in a menu in-game.

Character and looks
Jake is a man who, despite being a unit in some games, seems to dislike fighting, as shown in Shadow Dragon, where he states that he isn't ¨cut out for the military¨. He also is smitten with Anna (and vice versa), and their relationship is shown frequently throughout the series. Although he does flirt with other girls, Anna does not seem to mind this very much, she even recommends that Marth use this to his advantage.

His looks varies much from game to game. For example: in Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, he has brown hair and wears red. However, he looks dramatically different in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, where he has purple hair and more refined clothes of the same color.

Appearances and cameos in the series
He appeared in the very first game, Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi as a playable Ballistician. In the remake, Monsho no Nazo, he was omitted (along with numerous other characters). He next appeared in Seisen no Keifu, where he appears in front of Amid or Linda at the source of the Thracian River.

Jake's next appearance was as a cameo in Fire Emblem:Rekka no Ken, where he was a member of Fargus's pirates. He appears to greet the ship's passengers if somebody visited Anna at the inn in the Port of Badon and tells you about the shops aboard the ship.

Jake returns in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon as a playable ballistician. As in Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi, he is recruited by having Shiida talk to him. He is one of the two ballisticans the player can recruit, the other being the brown haired Beck in chapter 13.

His ending notes that he and Anna always dreamed of traveling to far off continents, perhaps referencing to their status as recurring characters.
