Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

HistoryEdit

Bluepaw sees him while hunting, sitting on a fence on the edge of Twolegplace. The ginger cat offers a friendly greeting and asks if Bluepaw is a forest cat, though Bluepaw is reluctant to speak to him. Jake still continues his tirade of questions, confusing the blue-gray she-cat. A plump gray she-cat joins Jake on the fence, and soon Pinestar arrives and scolds Bluepaw for talking to the kittypets. As Bluepaw leaves, Jake says his farewell and offers to let Bluepaw into his nest next time he sees her.

Bluefur thinks of Jake later on, when Sunfall mentions an increase in kittypet scents around ThunderClan's border.

Bluefur finds Pinestar speaking with Jake later on, discovering that the leader is inquiring about kittypet life.

Later on at a Gathering, Cedarstar mentions an oddly adventurous ginger kittypet that had been trespassing in ShadowClan territory, causing Bluefur to think of Jake.

Bluefur continues worrying about Pinestar's interest in Jake, and is constantly suspicious that Pinestar is with the ginger kittypet when he goes missing several times.

Bluefur thinks of Jake one last time when she sees his fence while out hunting with Thrushpelt.

In the Original ArcEdit

Into the Wild Edit

Jake is mentioned, though not by name, when Firepaw confirms to Yellowfang that both of his parents are kittypets, and Jake is his father.

In the Stand-Alone MangaEdit

The Rise of ScourgeEdit

He is mentioned briefly, though not by name, when Quince looks at a photograph of Jake and murmurs to herself that it is strange that neither Ruby, Socks, or Tiny have his ginger fur, but she sees the same spirit in them as him. He is mentioned not by name by Quince, when Tiny asked if she knew anything about the forest. She said that his father explored there couple of times and told her about it. He is also mentioned by the two housecats when Tiny is passing by them running away from his home. They said that Jake was in the forest often.

TriviaEdit

Vicky confirmed that Jake was Firestar's father. This was suspected for a long time by the fandom, taking in account Jake's pelt color, interest in the forest, and the fact that he was seen near a gray she-cat, who could have been Quince.^[3] Moreover, Jake is also the father of Scourge, making Scourge and Firestar half-brothers.^[4]
On her Facebook page, Vicky stated that Jake was killed when he was struck by a meteorite while sitting on a fence.^[5] However, she later clarified that it was indeed a joke.^[6]
