In Ultima IV, the Stranger met Jaana within the city of Yew, where she was seeking to understand the virtue of Justice. She proved willing, if asked, to join in the hero's quest to obtain Avatarhood.. Jaana was declared an outlaw during the time of Blackthorn's regime and was forced, along with many of the Avatar's other companions, into hiding. Jaana joined the Resistance early in the Blackthorn's reign, retreating to a secret group of tunnels that the organization had developed under Yew, where she worked against the Dark Lord's rule. Upon the Avatar's return in Ultima V, Jaana asked to join the hero's ranks again, in the hopes of quashing the rule of the corrupted regent. .
