I think one of the best series ever to be on TV was the show LOST. I've been meaning to do a tribute series to them for quite a while. Finally got around to it. Enjoy and it might be worth your while to read the cache pages.
Jacob is the Others' highest authority and has resided on the island for nearly two thousand years, most recently in a chamber in the foot which is the only remains of the statue of Tawaret. The backstory of Jacob is revealed in the episode "Across the Sea", which according to the episode's script took place in 44 A.D., and which also revealed the mysterious Man in Black (a.k.a. the "smoke monster") is his fraternal twin, and assumed his current supernatural form after an altercation with Jacob. Jacob is the protector of the Island, and is able to visit various Flight 815 survivors prior to their arrival, speaking to and conspicuously touching several of the main characters. It seems he granted Richard Alpert's agelessness by touching him on the shoulder (episode "Ab Aeterno"). Ben initially claims to John Locke that he can communicate with Jacob, but later reveals he is lying out of embarrassment for his inability to do so, despite being leader of the Others. The figure in the mysterious cabin, who reacted violently to John Locke's flashlight and later is heard by Locke to say "Help me", is at one point presumed to be Jacob; however, it is later implied it may have been his brother, trapped on the island in his "smoke monster" form by Jacob's presence and as such has been scheming to ensure Jacob's downfall. The Man in Black is able to assume the appearance of deceased bodies on the island, and through an elaborate series of events involving him arranging the death of and subsequently impersonating John Locke, eventually manipulates Ben into killing Jacob; this represents a "loophole" from the apparent "rule" the two brothers could not harm one another. However, Jacob returns as a ghost on the island and communicates with Hurley. Also, the Man in Black and Sawyer have seen an apparition of a younger Jacob on the present-day island. Eventually, the ghost of Jacob ceded control of the island to his successor, Jack Shephard.
