Jake Sisko is a character in the fictional Star Trek universe, played by Cirroc Lofton. He is the son of Captain Benjamin Sisko in the series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
He was born in 2355 to Jennifer Sisko, who was killed in 2357 during the Battle of Wolf 359, when Benjamin Sisko served aboard the USS Saratoga. In 2369 he moved with his father to Deep Space Nine, even though he didn't really want to, citing as one reason that there wouldn't be many kids his age at the station. Once there, he became friends with a Ferengi named Nog, son of Rom, despite the disapproval of both Sisko pere and Rom. Jake and Nog became the first students enrolled in Keiko O'Brien's school. Jake aspired to be a writer, though he declined a scholarship to Pennington School in 2371. In 2372, Jake wrote the first draft of his first novel, Anslem under the influence of Onaya, a "vampire" who fed on creative energy (episode entitled "The Muse"). In the season finale, Benjamin Sisko joined the Prophets, and although Jake Sisko is still at DS9 for the final scene of the show, it is not clear if he stayed there.
In an alternate timeline ("The Visitor"), Benjamin Sisko is thrust into a sub-space limbo after being strick by an errant energy bolt on the USS Defiant in 2372. After the accident, Sisko is presumed dead, but later appears to Jake several times. Jake spends the rest of his adult life trying to understand and reverse the accident. Jake learns that he acts as sort of an anchor to his father in sub-space and that if he were to take his own life the connection would be severed and they would return to the time of the accident. Jake follows through with the plan and they return to the time of the accident where Sisko is able to dodge the energy bolt and change history.
