Jacob Johnson
Before he was even born, Jacob had been a target for a great evil. The dream killer Freddy Krueger had started using him to get into the dreams of his mother's friends, killing them. This included Jacob's father, Dan, who was the first victim of Freddy's new slaughter. Alice knew she had to protect her baby at all costs, vowing to never let Freddy take him.

Thanks to the release of Amanda Krueger's spirit from her tomb, Freddy was temporarily defeated and Jacob was allowed to be born, although he gained a fraction of his mother's Dream Master powers in the process. Over the years, Alice found herself fighting Freddy on a regular basis to keep him from reaching fresh victims, which was slowly breaking her mentally and physically.

When Tommy Jarvis came to Springwood to recruit her for his new team, Alice agreed, but only on the condition that he didn't take her, he'd take Jacob instead. Alice knew that her final fight with Freddy would be soon, and Jacob would only be safe if he left town with someone she trusted to train him with the Dream Master powers, which she passed on to him before going to fight Freddy one last time.

Tommy vowed to Jacob that they'd return to kill Freddy once and for all one day when he'd mastered his powers. Over the next four years, Jacob trained to be the greatest Dream Master of all, a power he intends to use to battle Freddy when they return to the town of Springwood soon...
