Captain Jess Gildersleeve was a port-governor of the Varisian town of Roderic's Cove. In 4708 AR, Captain Jess Gildersleeve, port-governor at the time, was caught skimming gold from the protection money the town paid to Riddleport pirates. Shamed and threatened with arrest, Jess fled town with her nine-year-old daughter, Jana. Jess and Jana went to Riddleport and lived under the protection of the same syndicate that had been exploiting Roderic's Cove. A few years later, Jess perished in a unfortunate accident on the docks.
