User blog comment:AnotherRho/Most Underrated (non-player) Character/@comment-2256917-20120102223731

I've come around to thinking that Jacob is the most underrated squad member (he seems underrated on the Social Forums, and at least at some time even on his page on this Wiki). Yet he has more health than most others; his barrier adds more defensive ability; he's essentially an Adept; all of which makes him more valuable as a squad member than I originally thought. Also, many of his dialogue lines are good; and he's the only member of the Normandy who salutes Shepard regularly, which (I would think) some Sheps might appreciate.
