<Introspective, Observant, Focused, Loyal, Calm>
Despite his appearance, Jacob is the less outgoing of the two brothers. He is a quiet, calm person who would much prefer sitting somewhere with a book than going out and talking to people. That doesn't mean he isn't any good it it, he can hold his own when socialising, he just prefers the company of the written word to actual living people. He nearly always has a smile for those he cares about, and those who are his friends will find him to be a loyal person who is very capable of keeping their secrets should they choose to share any with him.
Jacob is a rather introspective individual and when doing this he often looks like he is spacing out rather than meditating and reflecting on his decisions in life. Combined with this, the man is also observant and with a decent memory he can pick up on things that others might have missed, though it is more likely he'll pick out details from a scene than about a person.
The man also has a focused personality, when given a task to carry out he will focus on that to the exclusion of nearly everything else, often needing his brother to have to drag him away so that he doesn't burn himself out. Some people find this side of him rather intense to deal with, though his brother finds that it is part of his quiet charm.
<Outgoing, Charismatic, Polite, Loyal, Impatient>
In terms of personality, Wilhelm is almost the opposite of his brother. While sharing the same views on loyalty to friends, Wilhelm is much more likely to go out, socialise and make those friends. He is very outgoing and willing to meet new people wherever possible and can become easily distracted by his social life, often needing his brother to ground him.
Along with this, Wilhelm boasts a very charismatic and polite nature, although it is perhaps a little old fashioned. Talking to people comes easily to the younger of the Grimm brothers and despite his poor health it is something he will try to do wherever possible. On top of this, Wilhelm is a rather impatient person who would like to be constantly doing something. He dislikes being confined for longer than needed.
While he lacks the same focus that his Jacob does, the younger brother does share his strong work ethic and will devote himself to any tasks assigned to him, he is just more likely to get distracted somewhere along the way.
Ability:
<Doctor Know-All>
When active, Jacob's ability gives him the ability to see through lies, this includes both spoken and written lies and also illusions. Essentially Jacob becomes a lie detector. Combined with Jacob's observational skills and it is very difficult to lie to him.
<The King of the Golden Mountain>
This ability turns Wilhelm into a sort of lightning rod. When active other abilities must focus on him instead with attacks from abilities being drawn in his direction. He will receive any damage those abilities might do, but he likes to use it to protect those who cannot protect themselves.

History:
The two brothers were the second and third eldest surviving siblings of nine children, with three of their younger siblings dying during infancy. They grew up loved by their large family and were happy to help out their parents whenever they could. But then when Jacob was eleven and Wilhelm ten, their father passed away, leaving the two having to help support their family more than before.
Upon turning thirteen and twelve both brothers left their childhood home in Hanau for an academy in Kassel where their education was paid for by their aunt. At the school they were often looked down upon because of their lower social status, but rather than becoming discouraged, the two used their time to study extensively and Jacob graduated at eighteen, with his brother joining him a year later. Wilhelm would have graduated at the same time as his brother but had to take a year off due to sickness and thus he was also eighteen when graduating.
Their official education finished, Jacob became a librarian at the age of twenty-three and with the death of their mother he helped to put their younger siblings through their education also while paying for medical treatment for Wilhelm who seemed to keep falling ill, even as Jacob remained mostly healthy. After his treatment, Wilhelm joined his elder brother as a librarian and the two used the job to search for as many folk tales as they could, deeply fascinated by the subject.
Three years after starting as librarians, the two started to travel from country to country in search of those folk tales that they were most interested in and at twenty-seven and twenty-six they settled in Yokohama for a couple of months, planning to only stay for a short while. It was here that they came across a wealth of information on ability users and discovered that they had their own abilities also. Shortly after discovering these abilities and gaining some semblance of control over them, they were approached to join a group called "Odd Jobs Yokohama" and wanting to discover more about ability users, they agreed to join.
