Both Pete and Jake seem
like the classically male character. First, these characters are apt to fight
or to use a weapon. Pete is known to be attracted to weapons, such as the Tesla
and a sword that he could not stop from pretending to be a ninja. Jake cannot
resist a good bar fight, which he demonstrated in “The Librarians and Santa’s
Midnight Run.” Pete and Jake are very flirtatious as well. If Pete is not
making a joke about breasts or Steve Jink’s alleged attraction to himself, he
is not feeling well. Jake flirted with danger literally when he flirted with
Lamia, a Serpent Brotherhood henchwomen who tried to kill him.
In fact because of their
external characteristics they are often considered as a simple guys. Pete’s
joking nature and one tract mind creates a misconception that he is the dumbest
of the Warehouse agents. Jake’s southern accent and his hometown appearance
creates the perception that he is just a small town mind.
Despite these fallacies,
Pete and Jake have strong and often surprising attributes that make them
crucial to their team. Pete has “vibes,” which are feelings he gets when he
senses that something wrong is going to happen or has already happened. Jake is
very intellectual. He is very knowledgeable about art and architecture, and he even
publishes articles about these topics using a different name.
In some cases, the
talents of these men have caused them to have regrets. When Pete was young, he
had a vibe about his father, the firefighter, going to fight a fire. Since he
did not tell his father about his vibe, he blames himself for his father’s
death in that fire. Jake is ashamed of his intellect and so he put off his
dream of traveling in order to stay working at his family’s business.
