Twilight Saga Character Guide
Jacob Black is a shape-shifter or "werewolf" of the Quileute tribe, former Beta of the Uley pack, and Alpha of his own pack. In Twilight, he is Bella's fifteen-year-old childhood friend. And in New Moon, he shifts into a wolf for the first time, and helps Bella with her heartbreak after Edward broke up with her. In Breaking Dawn, he imprints on the hybrid baby named Renesmee Cullen, the daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.
On Stephenie Meyer's official website, Jacob was originally just a device to inform Bella about the vampires. However, both she and her editor liked Jacob so much that they decided to give him a larger role in the sequels to Twilight, making him a main character in New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. He forms a deep bond with Bella in the sequels and tries to fight against Edward for her love until she realizes that her love for Edward is stronger and chooses him over Jacob. Jacob subsequently imprints on Bella and Edward's daughter, Renesmee, thus freeing himself from his heartbreak and the love triangle. His Life and Death counterpart is Julie Black.
