Early On
Jacob Daly was a police officer, and father to Ruby Daly, husband to Susan Daly. On Ruby's tenth birthday, Ruby asked him some questions about death, and he attempted to answer, resulting in a large arguement between him and Susan. That night, Ruby kissed him goodnight, erasing all of his memmories of her. Him and Susan locked her in the garage, and the PSFs came and retrieved her. For seven years he lived on without remembering Ruby.

In the Afterlight
After Ruby freed Thurmond and all the kids, she was in the hospital for days. Grams, Susan, and Jacob all rushed to Ruby when her position was revealed, since her parents could still feel love and concern for her.

Ruby then gave them their memories back, and they embraced her in a hug. They were shown to be very protective of her since then.

The Darkest Legacy
In the Darkest Legacy, Jacob was with Ruby at a park when James Mercer attempted to kidnap her and bring her in for experimentation, and Jacob was shot in the attempt. The attempt failed, and Mercer never got his hands on Ruby or her peculiar ability.

Ruby Daly
Jacob's memories of Ruby were accidentally erased by Ruby, and him and his wife locked Ruby up in their garage, but after Ruby was taken, their feelings and love for her were still their. He was shot in an attempt for Ruby.

Susan Daly
Susan and Jacob are husband and wife, and they are shown to have gotten into many fierce arguments. But in the end, the two of them still love each other.
