Senator Jacobs is a character in Mafia III.
History[]
Walter Jacobs was a Senator for the state of Louisiana, who held a position with the Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee. He came under Lou Marcano's radar after he exploited Jacobs' penchant for cheating on his wife with prostitutes.
The Fundraiser[]
Lincoln Clay attacked the Marcanos' drug and sex rackets in the French Ward, then murdered Judge Holden, who was being heavily bribed by Lou to overturn the state ban on gambling.
Enraged over the loss of Holden, Sal keelhauls Lou at the Paradiso Hotel & Casino on North Lake. Lou saves face by recommending another man in high office whom they could persuade to overturn the anti-gambling law: Senator Jacobs. Lou says he will host a political fundraiser on his riverboat Delphine, show Jacobs a "real nice time" by offering liquor and to "get him laid". Lou assures Sal that once Jacobs "sees that payoff, he's going to do whatever we ask". Sal approves this idea, but warns Lou not to blow it.
When Lincoln's attack on the riverboat begins, Lou orders his men to protect Senator Jacobs, since he is Sal Marcano's last chance to salvage the gambling legalization plan. However, once all his men have been killed and Clay is pointing a gun at him, Lou changes his mind about the Senator and tries to take him hostage so that Clay will let him escape. Lou's escape plan is foiled, however, when the riverboat's engine explodes beneath them, knocking Clay and Marcano into the river and killing Senator Jacobs.
