Not very much is known about Jennifer Winson, due to a lack of records, as well as the mass of redacted information in the wake of the annihilation of the [[Not-Named Clan]].
  
She was said to be the younger sister of [[Jerome Winson]], the founding [[Khan]] of [[Clan Wolf]], though no record of her exists in the [[Inner Sphere]]. A child during the [[Operation EXODUS|Exodus]], she would train to become a MechWarrior and served in Nicholas Kerensky's division before the rebellion of the [[Pentagon Worlds]] and the death of [[Aleksandr Kerensky]], which led to the subsequent [[Second Exodus]] to the [[Kerensky Cluster]].<ref name=H:OKp107/>

===Mysterious Conclusions===
The fate of Jennifer Winson is a mystery equal to her origins. In the wake of the [[Clan Wolverine]] treachery, and the massive effort to redact all records pertaining to the Not-Named Clan, much information was obfuscated and lost to public record regarding Jennifer Winson herself. Some would speculate that this was done purposefully by ilKhan Kerensky, and likely also his successor as ilKhan, Jerome Winson. There exists no explanation for why this would have been done. All of this, of course, leads to even more rampant speculation. Some have even suggested that perhaps the name Jennifer Winson was assumed, and that her actual origins were as a daughter of [[House Cameron]], or [[House Amaris]], depending on who is spinning the tale.<ref name=H:OKp107/>

Following Nicholas Kerensky's proclamation that he was ilKhan on the 9th of June [[2815]], Andery Kerensky had a private meeting with Jennifer Winson. During that meeting, Jennifer admitted to Andery that she had undergone plastic surgery, and that she had previously been '''Jess Cole''', a woman who Andery had encountered several times acting as a clandestine agent for Nicholas in events such as the [[Prinz Eugen Mutiny]]. Jennifer was already a devoted follower of Nicholas by this point, someone who shared his ideals and vision of future Clan society, and claimed during the meeting to have not only served Nicholas as a loyal soldier since the occupation of Terra and to having worn so many masks that one more mask - Jennifer Winson - made no difference.<ref>''Clangründer: Traum'' (novel)</ref>

On the 17th of June [[2785]] aboard the ''[[McKenna (WarShip class)|McKenna]]''-class battleship [[McKenna's Pride|SLS ''McKenna's Pride'']], partway through the [[Operation EXODUS|Exodus]], Jes Cole approached Andery and persuaded him to attend a meeting aboard the ''[[Potemkin]]''-class cruiser [[Hermes (Vessel)|SLS ''Hermes'']], ostensibly to hear the concerns of civilians who wanted to know where Alexander Kerensky was leading those on who had followed him on the Exodus. Jes was already on amiable terms with Andery, who knew her as Major Jes Cole, an infantry officer of some experience (Andery being a cadet at this point in time).<ref name="FFGp17+">''Fall From Glory'', part 1, p. 17-23</ref>

Andery next saw Jes Cole on the 31st of October 2785, again aboard the ''McKenna's Pride''; he subsequently learned from Nicholas that Nicholas had known Jes since the occupation of Terra, but that Jes had withheld that information from Andery at Nicholas' instruction. Nicholas had confirmed that he had manipulated Andery through Jes to set in motion the events leading up to the Prinz Eugen Mutiny for the express purpose of catalyzing a rebellion he saw as inevitable, but in a time and fashion that would allow him to secure control over the Exodus fleet under his father's command.<ref name="FFGp16+">''Fall From Glory'', part 2, p. 16-20</ref>

History finds Jennifer Winson in the role of Mother of the Clans. As the wife of ilKhan Nicholas Kerensky, she was a sounding board and a confidante, as well as his lover, putting her in a place of influence unrivaled in all of the Clans – except for perhaps his brother, [[Andery Kerensky]]. As such, her influence was able to reach all facets of nascent Clan society.<ref>''Historical: Operation Klondike'', pp. 90-91, "The Power Behind the Throne"</ref>

An intelligent and charismatic individual, she worked to smooth over differences and promote Kerensky's new ideas to all of the other Khans, making her crucial to the formation of a society that has lasted for over 300 years.
