Cool timeline, Keoni.

I hope Thaddeus isn't dead but if he isn't it will be interesting to see how he survived and why he never contacted any of his family since his fall from that cliff.

[Joe Aten]

Yes, I too hope that we haven't seen the last of Thaddeus. I doubt we have. Way cool design for him. I could see him kicking some butt on Ethera. Some sword-n-sorcery action would be awesome.

Great job on the timeline!

[Keoni]

Seeing Thaddeus made me think of Koj from Tellos. I'm curious about Thaddeus's inspiration.
Thaddeus in those few pages really has the spark of an interesting character. He's very different from the currently showcased Destine children. And such a contrast to meek and peaceful Albert. I would love to know how Adam and Albert knew of the monastery to travel to.

[SpaceCabbie]

I don't think Sam was born in 1960 - the photo was taken in 1963, when she was about the twins' age, and she graduated college in 1972, so I'd figure she was born around 1950?

[Keoni]

Good catch SpaceCabbie! Thanks.

Corrected.

1168 Adam is born.
1184 Adam is mortally wounded, has a vision of the trapped Djinn, he survives his near fatal injuries and makes a (miraculous) full recovery and earns the name Adam of Destine.
1189 Joins the Crusades and journeys to the Holy Land and Jerusalem
1191 Adam travels into Persia to free the Djinn.
Sometime in the 1190’s Jasmine is born to Adam and his wife (??) the Djinn.

1200
1209 Kay meets Adam’s parents on the family property, when it was a Saxon village.
Thaddeus is born (1193) sometime after Jasmine but before Albert (1323—although it should be noted that a Destine birth-date must be treated as an indistinct point in time). He possibly served in the 5th 6th 7th &/or 8th Crusades (1217 to 1272), he is given to shouting a Crusade battle cry when engaged in fights. (Thaddeus was involved in the crusades and became a Knight Templar)
1320’s or 1330’s Albert is born. (1323)
1348 Albert tries to stem the scourge of the Black Plague with his healing powers.
1374 Adam and Thaddeus escort Albert to the Shalu Monastery in Shigatse, Tibet. Thaddeus apparently dies (as per Monty Python’s famed Norwegian Blue parrot--Thaddeus departed the world of man, vanished from the face of the earth, was deep sixed, sank into dark oblivion, became part of the aquatic food chain, was transmogrified, ceased to be, passed into the great unknown, is no more… ) (Adam’s flashback neglected to show Adam’s pain at the death of Thaddeus, plus Thaddeus has animal mimicking powers). (The nature of Adam’s pain should not be confused with his current intense experiences or his precognition. Adam is far more than simply immortal.)

1500
1503 Gracie is born.
1519 Jasmine as a Spanish Nobleman and Gracie (barely sixteen) journey to the new world (what would become Mexico).
Maurice is born (1695) sometime after Gracie.
Florence (1531) ((is born sometime after Maurice.))

1600
1612 Adam is in Russia to help establish the Romanov Dynasty.
1615 Grace and Albert in Japan protecting the Shogun Tokugawa.
1615 Adam encounters a trio of alien scouts and deters an alien invasion.

Sometime after 1849 and up until after 1889 Jasmine has a new host body, an Asian female. (???)Newton is born (possibly in the 1800's or early 1900's). (1774)
1900
Walter is born sometime after Newton. (See issue 5 of the new series)1944 Walter unknowingly aids the Invaders during WWII battling a giant Nazi robot.
William is born sometime after Walter.
1949 Adam and Wolverine battle Chen Yu (this around the time when Wolverine had his encounters with Chen Yu).
Dominic is born sometime after William.
Vincent is born sometime after Dominic but before Samantha.
1950 Samantha is born. (I had 1951 on my timeline so not a bad guess)1950’s (late) Jasmine, in possession of a native American Indian female host body, and Gracie battle a cosmic demon with help from a young world weary Charles Xavier (sometime after the Korean War).
1963 a family photo includes Adam, Jasmine, Maurice, Florence, Newton, Walter, William, Dominic, Vincent, and Samantha. Gracie took the photograph.

Bummer. Luckily, it's still at least possible to see stories about Thaddeus, in flashback, of course.

[Keoni]

A Templar Knight?!?! It just gets better and better. Intriguing.

Thank you for the dates you added. I look forward to discovering more. And more characters as interesting and intriguing as Thaddeus - please.

[Crusader K]

Keoni and Alan,

Just saw the timeline. Nothing short of amazing!

[Keoni]

Two dates in the timeline allude to more travels by Walter, and possibly other Destines as they never seem to travel alone.

1839 - Walter digs Maurice out of a landslide

I think this alludes to "December 24th, Christmas Eve, the Bindon Landslide occurred in Great Britain".


1904 - Walter wrestles a Kodiak bear.

And since Kodiak bears are found only on Alaskan coastal islands, I'm guessing that Walter had traveled to Alaska during the Klondike/Yukon Gold Rush of that time period. And I'm guessing he traveled there with Maurice and/or William, in the same way Grace accompanied Jasmine (as a Spaniard) to Mexico. The Gold Rush, if that is the case, must have been one hell of an adventure had by Walter (and possibly Maurice and William).


Also, in issue five of Blood Relative a third child is with an early teenage (?) Thaddeus and Jasmine in Yden, the child appears to be a boy.

1205ish - A third child, a son, is born to Adam and Elalyth in Yden.

[Keoni]

I updated the timeline awhile ago with all of Walter's military deployments. I tried in vain to place Adam to key military battles in the "photos/paintings" the Guild were viewing in issue #1.
