Jacob Charric is a carnie at the Darkmoon Faire, where he mostly does gruntwork, when his supervisors can locate and threaten him into doing his job. Aside from working for the Faire, he has several "side" businesses, selling "magical artifacts," and "cure-all potions," that he conducts when the Faire is closed. Neither of which do anything at all, but by the time most folks catch onto him, he's three cities away, purchasing expensive, gaudy clothing with his con money.

Despite doing almost entirely manual labor at the Faire, he's picked up juggling, fire eating, and firebreathing from the Faire's performers.
