'Jacob' could be Alvar Hanso. Founder of the great Dharma Initiative. Bear with me, as it's only a theory:
The "natives" or "hostiles" lived on the island relatively as minimalists. They were aware of the power the island had but lived in harmony with it. Enter the Dharma Initiative, a technological group put on the island with hopes to harness the energy of the island, for reasons I can't yet formulate.
Threatened by this, and with the help of young Ben, who over the years helped smuggle the means of overthrowing Dharma, do just that. They kill everyone except Alvar Hanso, whose communion with the island is great, and is greatly amplified by the use of technology.
Thus, they take Hanso hostage. He "feels the way Locke does about technology" not because he truly feels that way, but rather access to this technology would greatly advance his ability to escape.
Though why they would keep him hostage, I'm not sure. Maybe Ben can harness Jacob's communion with the island (his power) to keep the Others following him. This could be why Ben is threatened by Locke, who seems to hold a very similar comminuion with the island.
If you search on dogpile.com under Jacob from "Lost" - you will find a link which as 11 still-frame pictures of Jacob (which you would have to slow down the original broadcast in order to see him).
Have a lovely rest of the day.

LOST is the best written show on tv right now... sometimes it is a little hard to understand... but i can always count on JJ Abrams to clear up confusion when it is time for it. i just try to keep up and enjoy looking at all the hot guys on the show. lol

Not to be hateful...but...unless you are a producer, writer, director (or something to that nature) then you don't really know who Jacob is....you just have a theory just like the rest of us. Feel free to read my other answers to similar questions as I don't feel like re-typing the same thing.

The person who sat in as Jacob is actually a crew member and the voice is Carlton Cuse.

I have ideas. I think maybe the guy that delivered Ben. I think maybe Ben didn't kill him after all. I also think he didn't kill all of the dharma people. I believe that he saved that girl that gave him the bd present. I've also heard/read from others Jack's dad by looks of him, but I don't know about that....
