Jokaste used to be Crown Prince Damianos' lover (and likely would become his wife and the Queen of Akielos) prior to the events of Captive Prince, but we see her betray him for his half-brother, Prince Kastor in the Prologue, when Damen is captured and sent to Vere as a slave to Crown Prince Laurent (the inciting incident). He presumably is raised by his mother elsewhere after the events of the series.
The child is never named, nor does he appear in any of the books. There is a brief question of who the father is, as Jokaste claims it is Damen's, but later, as Laurent suspected, she admits in a note that it is Kastor's. Though a wedding is never mentioned, Jokaste is widely known as Kastor's lover or mistress, and as the unofficial Queen.Īlthough her own parents are not known, Jokaste gives birth to a child in Kings Rising. It is heavily implied that, had Jokaste not betrayed him, she would have eventually married Damianos and become Queen of Akielos. Prince Laurent dressed as Lady Jokaste ( Kings Rising (Captive Prince #3), Ch. She is described as being very beautiful, and her beauty constantly mirrors that of Prince Laurent. Later, she is described as having cool blue eyes and regal blonde hair that she arranges over her shoulder.
In the digital publication of Prince's Gambit Jokaste is described as having brown hair by Damen, where he is internally "confusing blonde hair with brown." In the paperback publication, however, this line is changed to "confusing long blonde hair with shorter," indicating that Jokaste is now intended to be of similar coloring to Laurent. It was expected they would, eventually, marry. Despite this, it takes months of his courting before she finally accepts his affections. Not much is known about Lady Jokaste's history, other than the fact that when she arrived at Ios Damianos was completely enamored with her (because of her light coloring and sharp personality).
