Jessene (also known as Lady Jessene and Queen Jessene) was the husband of Haldric I and first royal consort of Wesnoth. She was born into nobility as a princess of the Wesfolk. During the time of peace between the Wesfolk and the Green Isle kingdoms, she was the navigator responsible for the Crown Prince's voyage to the Great Continent.

After her return, war broke out again, and she was forced to flee her home as an outcast when the Lich-Lords built a portal, allowing orcs to invade. At first, she attempted to settle with her fellow refugees in Stormvale, but was soon driven out. When Stormvale itself fell under siege by the orcs, however, she joined forces with its evacuees. She served as an important ally and advisor to Haldric during his exodus to the Great Continent, translating the Book of Fire and Darkness such that Haldric was able to use the Ruby of Fire.

When Jessene and Haldric reached the Great Continent, she helped Haldric complete each of the Ka’lian's four tasks, and discovered the elves' plan to betray their pact. She aided Haldric in deceiving Jevyan by hiding the Ruby of Fire inside a cave located in the Brown Hills. By the time of the establishment of the Kingdom of Wesnoth, she had earned Haldric's trust and admiration. The two were subsequently married, making Jessene the queen consort of Wesnoth. Jessene had multiple children, including Haldric II, the second King of Wesnoth.

Biography

Wesfolk Noble

I am the Lady Jessene, a noble, a princess of the Wesfolk! I was betrayed by the Lich-Lords’ dark pact with the orcs, in no small part because your fool Prince of Southbay convinced them that their immortal un-lives were over!
—Lady Jessene reveals her true identity to Haldric.

Jessene was born a princess of the Wesfolk. During her time amongst the Wesfolk, she had become trained in combat with the staff and sling, and had an awareness of the dangers the Wesfolk had escaped from the land to the west. During the time of peace between the two peoples of the Green Isle, she became a companion and the navigator for the Crown Prince of Southbay. Despite a strong north wind over the Eastern Ocean, Jessene was able to compensate for this by sailing northeast.

During a voyage with the Crown Prince, she sailed with him in a single ship to the east. During her explorations, she had discovered a formerly volcanic island, slowly sinking into the ocean. Though the island had resources suitable for sea-faring, it was dominated by a number of hostile drakes, which were subsequently pacified. The most important discovery of the voyage, however, was the Great Continent, where the ship caught the attention of the elves. Her vital role in the journey was forgotten after the death of the Crown Prince, however.
