It's quite a jump to go from being a bank executive to the crimelord of an island nation like Madripoor, but that was the path Jessan Hoan's life took when she was abducted by a group of criminals known as The Reavers (back in Uncanny X-Men #229, cover-dated May 1988).

Her tale of what happened after that incident was part of a 10-part Wolverine adventure in Marvel Comics Presents (1988), and currently she has shown up in the recent Black Widow series written by sisters Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska.
