A champion of the Bear Pit, an underground fight club, Jacob Lash (or just "The Lash") has built a reputation as a tough and unsavoury character.

Trivia
- Jacob Lash is an asshole.
- Lash’s parry animation was changed after streamer JoeyCheerio shared feedback during a livestream that was being watched by Valve Senior Animator Jamaal Bradley. He suggested the move should feel more like a heavy, belly-first chest smash, similar to King K. Rool in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. The updated animation was introduced in a later patch, with Bradley stating "we appreciate our players".[3]
- Lash's name was localized in the Brazilian Portuguese localization as "Chico T.", a pun on the word "chicote" ("whip").
- The description for Deadlock in Steam Replay 2024 is "Jacob Lash is an asshole."
- It appears that at some point in development, Lash really did fight with uppercuts, as an ability named Shoryuken was datamined.
- "Thinking About Lash in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Lash in the Hideout.
- Lash's killstreak voiceline "Winning's my business and business is good" is a possible reference to the Megadeth song Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!.
- Lash's Ground Strike upgrade voice line "They're about to learn that their arms are too short to box with god" is a possible reference to a quote by pro wrestler CM Punk to The Rock in WWE. The phrase was popularized by the 1976 Broadway musical Your Arms Too Short to Box with God.
- Unlike most heroes, Lash doesn't have bot support for Co-op vs Bot matches.
