Jacob Erland[1] was a wizard who was reported missing, along with his relative Mimi, on the Potterwatch wireless programme in 1997. His disappearance was most likely linked to a Death Eater attack.
Etymology

He was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel, and his name is explained as meaning "holder of the heel" or "supplanter".
