Jayne Kassynder was born approximately fifty years prior to the beginning of Dungeon Siege III. She is the illegitimate daughter of the former king of Ehb and the last leader of the Archons. Thirty years before Dungeon Siege III, when Hugh Montbarron of the 10th Legion sought to unseat the mad king and inadvertently killed him, she inspired the citizens of Ehb to rise up against the 10th Legion. When Hugh and his men fled into the forest that would become known as the Mournweald while the Legion died, she gave chase, and blackened the forest when she struck down Hugh and his comrades.
