Jacob Crow is a crazed scientist who first made an appearance in TimeSplitters Future Perfect. During his quest for immortality, he came across the ability to travel through time, an ability he used to create a time loop so that his younger self could have a lifetime worth of research. Eventually, he created the TimeSplitters, the race who are at war with humanity throughout the whole series.

Crow's StoryEdit

Crow's story is hard to judge, since you see him at different ages during different time zones. Also, due to the fact that he directly interacts with himself, he changes his own history which makes it impossible to know for sure in which order he visited each time zone.

Cortez's Encounters With CrowEdit

Sergeant Cortez encounters Crow in every time zone he visits, and each time he finds Crow at a different stage in his life.

1924Edit

Cortez first sees Crow in 1924, below an island just off the coast of Scotland. Crow appears old, but before Cortez can say anything, Crow had jumped to another time.

1969Edit

Cortez then sees Crow as a much younger man in a Russian trainyard during 1969. He is gathering troops from evil genius Khallos and sending them through a wormhole to another time. He then spots Cortez and jumps through himself to leave some guards to deal with Cortez.

1994Edit

During 1994, Cortez encounters Crow in his youngest form at a mansion in Connecticut, it turns out that this is before Crow has even discovered to travel through time. A much older Crow jumps to this moment and gives his younger self a time device, they then both disappear to another time.

2052Edit

In the basement lab complex of the U-Genix building in 2052, Cortez finds an old Crow, who hasn't yet discovered how to time-travel. He then witnesses the young Crow from 1994 appear and give his older self a time device. They both again disappear to other times.

2243Edit

Cortez fights a grotesque beast during 2243 in a secret area of the UltraNet HQ only to find out that it is Crow, his age at this point is impossible to determine. He had created the TimeSplitters and had even turned himself into one. He claims that doing so has "freed him from the bonds of mortality". He then follows Cortez back to 1924.

1924Edit

Cortez encounters the Splitter Crow again under the island just off the coast of Scotland. Anya creates a time-loop that lets Cortez team up with himself and they defeat Crow. Doing so ensures that the TimeSplitters never get created, and that the war never happens.

Obtaining the Time CrystalsEdit

Unfortunately, there is a continuity error in regard to how Jacob Crow manages to get to 1924 to mine the island in the first place and how he knew where to mine. It is unknown if there was an external source who told him where to mine. If he managed to accidentally fall through a wormhole and end in 1924 or earlier, he may have seen the Time Crystals first hitting the Scottish Island, and then begun to mine it in 1924. However if you consider the fact that Cortez meets many of his future selves throughout the game and you then go forward to do what they did, you can assume that a timeline where Crow never completed his research didn't exist, just as a timeline where Cortez can't get through the door on the Scottish island doesn't exist. Alternatively, it may have just been a mistake.

TriviaEdit

• Jacob Crow's surname (and the subsequent city he names after himself, Kronia) is obviously based on Chronos, the personification of time in Greek Mythology and root of words such as "chronological" and "chronometer". His first name may be a reference to the Jacob's Ladder apparatus, a staple of classic mad scientists in films.
• Jacob Crow traveling back in time to give the time device to his younger self could be a reference to Back to the Future Part II when an older Biff gives his young self the Sports Almanac.

• The youngest and most unhampered form of Jacob Crow (That is, before he ever learned of Time Travel) is his 1994 self. Immediately after the destruction of his mansion, his older self gives him a Time Device and he travels to 2052, then 2243 to start Ultranet. As we can see, when he gets to 2052 he doesn't age physically at all; meaning that 2243 Crow should be young. Keep that noted. In this particular timeline, Crow never traveled to Khallos' place to acquire troops. Since there are two Crows running around as seen in the cutscenes, this could be explained as the earlier Crow doing this so that the later Crow doesn't have to. However, once he is found in 2243, as an abomination, he is old and withered. Also, after that, the earlier Crow disappears completely and his disappearance is never explained, creating a plot hole.
