Jessamine

Jessamine was a merchant prince in Port Nyanzaru in the late 15 century DR. She dealt in herbology goods and even poisons, along with assassinations that were approved by her and fellow merchant princes.

Description
To hide her affliction, Jessamine wrapped her body in black wrappings and wore heavy robes.

Personality
Jessamine was one of the more reserved merchant princes and often served as the final vote for issues on which they were split.

Relationships
Jessamine had a daughter, Yemzra, who came as a result of a dalliance she had with a sea captain from Amn. She ensured that her daughter received a strong education, in order that she could continue her mother's business interests.

History
In her youth, Jessamine worked as an assassin for one of the pashas of Calimshan. She died during one of her assignments, and was resurrected at great cost to her patron.

When the death curse was released upon Toril, Jessamine began to wither away. She survived for at least two tendays after the curse began.
