Jennifer Hill is the mortal wife of the immortal, Alec Hill, a friend of Duncan MacLeod's. She was widowed when he died in an Immortal duel. She became convinced she was being haunted by Alec, that he wanted vengeance for his death, and she set MacLeod on the trail of an Immortal named Gerard Kragen, who had murdered Hill's first wife, Genevieve, in 1888, and whom she is convinced had taken Alec's head. Of Alec's feelings on Genevieve, she said: "He was waiting for Genevieve's spirit to join mine."

She became close toRichie Ryan while MacLeod was away fulfilling his vow to destroy Kragen if Alec was killed before he could do so. MacLeod asked Richie to stay with her. When Richie took Jennifer to Joe's bar, Dawson recognized her and while Jennifer was away from the table, informed Richie that he, not Kragen had killed Alec Hill. Stunned, Richie said he had not known the name of the man he'd killed in San Francisco, certainly not that he had had a wife. Joe tells him, "Everyone leaves someone behind. Everyone." When Jennifer returns, Richie asked Joe to call her a cab and fled.

Later that night, she arrives at Richie's apartment, and though he tries to tell her what he had done, she stops him and tells him that she was meant to be with him. He tells her it is not a good idea, but she assures him that it is what she wants. She and Richie entered into a brief affair.

When Duncan returns, having killed Kragen, she believes Alec is at peace. She returns to Richie's apartment where she becomes confused when he insists he has to leave town and that they could not be together. He finally blurts the fact that Alec had picked a fight with him, and Richie had taken his head. Appalled and furious, she calls him a sick son of a bitch, and runs away. She goes to Duncan and demands he kill Richie, which MacLeod refuses to do. She again rushes out, to return to Richie's apartment, where he continues to apologize to her until she pulls out a pistol and shoots him dead. MacLeod interrupts her as she holds Richie's own sword at his neck. He tries to tell her that whatever there was of Alec lives in Richie, and that killing brought no peace. She finally drops the sword and says of Richie, "Let him carry it. Let Alec haunt him forever."
