{{Quote|Bloody [[Saint Elisa|Elisa]]!|Jacob Jiles upon learning of the Covenant's impeding arrival.}}
'''[[Governor]] Jacob Jiles''' was an [[insurrectionist]] and the leader of the [[asteroid]] base known as [[Eridanus Secundus]].<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 255''</ref>

==Biography==
Jacob Jiles replaced [[Robert Watts|Colonel Robert Watts]] as leader of the [[Eridanus rebels]] after the former was [[Operation: TALON|captured]] by [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] in [[2525]]. His background is unknown, but the long black haired rebel was a slippery man, who worked only to serve himself. His tactics kept his people safe, as neither the [[Covenant]] nor the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] could locate or put a stop to his operation.

===Massacre at Eridanus Secundus===
{{Main|Massacre at Eridanus Secundus}}
In [[2552]], Jiles assisted the ''[[Gettysburg]]-[[Ascendant Justice]]'' hybrid vessel in making repairs before they would return to [[Earth]]. He had been blackmailed by [[Admiral]] [[Danforth Whitcomb|Whitcomb]], who brought the vessel to Eridanus Secundus knowing the Covenant would track them and locate the asteroid. Jiles did all he could to help repair the vessels before the Covenant attacked. The humans were able to hold off one cruiser, but when thirty arrived, a victory was nearly unachieavable if Whitcomb had stayed. After the Admiral abandoned the installation, the Covenant proceeded to press on the asteroid base. He, along with all the other inhabitants of the asteroid colony, are presumed dead, crushed under the might of the Covenant. <ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 281''</ref>

He had a personal ship, a former [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] [[Chiroptera-class subprowler]] called the ''[[Beatrice]]'' that was stolen by [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]].
