. . . but you are getting paid to work for a terrorist organization, primarily in a shooty-shooty-kill sort of way. I wonder what word we can use to describe people like that?

Mercenary. Which is why his little rant about Thane is completely hypocritical.

No it's not hypocritical because their motivations are not the same . Jacob's is working for Cerberus to serve humanity without the beauracracy of the Alliance machine to hold him back. He doesn't agree with Cerberus's methods but feels their goals are noble. This also applies to Shephard.
Thane is killing people for no one but himself and not for any noble cause. Which is why he feels so much guilt for his actions. He's a paid assassin and does not choose his targets. Yet he continues to do it.

Jacob seems to define the intentions of a mercenary or assassin as someone who works for a paycheck, assuming lack of character and selfishness. While he does get compensated for doing what he does with Cerberus, that's not the reason he joined them, so in that light he isn't a hypocrite.

Actually Thane is killing the people who killed his wife. He hasn't been paid to assassinate anyone for awhile.
Atleast that's what I remember from the words that came out of his mouth.
OT: Samuel L Jackson?

<3
Replaying and just recruited Thane. Was once again struck by how completely ridiculous that scene was, and desperately wishing for an option to point out that he was Dirty Terrorist Traitor Merc and has no room to judge anyone. Alas, the most I was allowed to say is that Thane was working for free, and we should give him a chance.
We needed a renegade interrupt in that scene . . .
"I don't like mercena--"
*Shoots Jacob in the foot* "Remember Akuze!"

I thought this was pretty obvious. Especially because Shep's motivations are pretty similar.

Thane: Kills heartless sororicidal Asari ****es who sics mercs and mechs on helpless Salarian workers for free and joins up with Shepard to save a bunch of human colonies because he believes it's right.
Jacob: Works for the guys who murdered the most awesome Alliance Admiral who-is-not-Hackett, several helpless human colonies, and my Sole Survivors entire squad.

aww AWW, so much Jacob hating! He's a good man, he wants to do the right thing, and he couldn't do it in the Alliance because all they do is bog you down in red tape, and if they are really pissed off at you, they ground your ship.

Wrong. Thane became an assassin because of his wife's death. He continued being an assassin after his wife's killiers were dealt with. He's been a hired killer of others ever since .

No red tape and no oversight leads to things like Akuze, inhumane experiments on children, dead Admirals and colonies overrun with Rachni, Geth and Thorian creepers.

Errrr.... wrong.
Thane was raised to be an assassin by the Hanar from the time that he was six. He quit working for the Hanar when he got married but eventually went independent because he had no other skills. When his wife was killed he spent years tracking down her killers. And recently he's been working for free to make the galaxy a little brighter before he dies.

I'm not sure what your point is. Thane didn't kill Nasanna for any noble cause. He did it because he was paid to. He a hired assassin and that's it. Which is why he feels guilt.

You just don't like him because he's black.
