Matthew trying to salvage the tense situation, held Elio's shoulder firmly from behind, urging him not to say anything proactive. He knew full well that how Jacob was a shrew old vampire and was just trying to get a wild reaction out of Elio, so that he could deny their request on the spot. He was indeed a scheming devil.
Jacob Larson, who seemed just a year or two older than Alaric and Brave by his mere facial features, was a one fifty year young vampire prince.

He was always dressing to impress and with his bloodless skin and attractive and bewitching features, he was a combination of sexy as well as dangerous.
