LoginJessamine Kaldwin
Jessamine Kaldwin I is a character featured in Dishonored. She is the late Empress of the Empire of the Isles, who is killed by the assassin Daud on the orders of the Royal Spymaster Hiram Burrows. Before her death, Jessamine watches helplessly as her daughter, Emily Kaldwin, is kidnapped by Daud's assassins. As she passes, she charges her Royal Protector Corvo Attano with the safe return and protection of her beloved child. Her assassination is used to charge Corvo with treason, kidnapping, and murder.
Born to Euhorn and Beatrix Kaldwin on the 3rd day of the Month of Earth, 1805, Jessamine is the second ruler in the Kaldwin line, which rose to power after Empress Larisa Olaskir was assassinated and left the former ruling dynasty with no heir. After naming Corvo Attano her Royal Protector at age 12, she was crowned soon after her father's death in 1825. While her father presided over a period of relative peace and prosperity, Jessamine's time as ruler saw "political intrigue and minor conflicts [that] created cracks in the Empire, undermining unity across the Isles." The exact nature of these conflicts is unknown.
Jessamine committed herself to a just and compassionate rule, doing whatever it took to alleviate the suffering of her people. For instance, she rejects Hiram Burrows' proposal to establish quarantines and a deportation program as a response to the rat plague, believing they should value the lives of all of Dunwall's citizens. She is also a very trusting person, which strained her relationship with the paranoid Royal Spymaster, and likewise blinded her to his scheming. Anton Sokolov also mentions personal knowledge he has of Jessamine, telling Corvo she was "a strange one. Stranger, I think, than you know."
Jessamine maintained a close relationship with Corvo Attano, and the two became lovers on the 2nd day of the Month of Rain, 1823. While the relationship is kept secret, rumors about it are prevalent throughout Dunwall. This gossip, along with the fact that Jessamine never married, have resulted in speculation that her Emily was born of the affair.
In a hidden room in the back of Dunwall Tower there is an audiograph that Jessamine was planning to give to Emily. It details the weight on Jessamine's shoulders because of the rat plague, how much Corvo and ะmily mean to her, and Emily's future as empress. The audiograph also emphasizes that Corvo is "always close to [her] heart." A letter to Corvo can be found in the Empress' secret room that tells of Jessamine's sadness in Corvo's absence, and claims "when you are near, my heart is at peace."
She is voiced by April Stewart.
