Dresden Files: Series Timeline

[Tami Seven]

Victor Sell's children, are they listed on the timeline? Not sure how old they were in Storm Front.

Not sure I saw them on the timeline, so in case they are not, I believe that Yuki Yosomori is about the same age as Carlos and Wild Bill Meyers is about a year younger.

Page 43, post #657.  Exact ages aren't given in text, but close approximations are given.

Jenny was about roughly 12-13 and Billy ('a year or two younger') would have been ~10.

Any thoughts on where Jury Duty, the short story in the anthology 'Unbound', fits in? I imagine it's after Skin Game, since it has Harry moving his stuff from Demonreach into Molly's apartment?

[KurtinStGeorge]

What about Elaine?  She is starborn and it appears from their conversations together that Harry and Elaine are the same age or very close to it.  Was she born on the same day that Harry was?

Not the same day. I think either WOJ or the books say it was within a few months, though.

How old was Malcolm when he died?  This is how I Worked the math. Him being a little older than Copperfield puts Malcolm being born between 1950 and 1955. Harry was 6 when Malcolm died. So, 19 years before SF which takes place in 2001. That would be 1982-ish.  So, Malcolm was between 27 and 32 when he died. He would have been between 20 and 25 when Harry was conceived. Am I off or is there a way to narrow it down ?

I just came across this WoJ that gives an unsure date for Margret's mother's death (and thus a bracket on her birth)

ARE WE EVER GOING TO MEET LEFAY'S MOTHER?

 As in Ebenezar's wife?  Well, not unless we go back and do the French and Indian War thing probably.

ARE WE GOING TO FIND OUT WHO SHE IS?

She was a mortal.  She died somewhere around 1810 I think.  I've got it all written down somewhere.  Plus I can check Wikipedia.  I often look at Wikipedia before I go somewhere else.  Because you guys keep track of it way better than I do.  I mean, by the time Im done with a book, I've seen 7 or 8 slightly different versions, and then maybe 2 or 3 versions that I chose not to write, so by the time you get to Book 13 of the series, that's 13 times 12 - that many different versions of the book so it starts getting hard to do the book-keeping in my head with all of that - so I go to Wikipedia - which is great.

This WoJ seems to confirm that the 1812 New Madrid earthquake already on the timeline was associated with her death.

Which gives us an age for Margaret, since she'd then have probably been born around 1800 (give or take 2 years).

Two new dates in the timeline are the "birth" of Mavra ~600 years ago and Ebenezer becoming the  Blackstaff in 1884-5.

Edit: corrected

It certainly gives us a tidy age range! While we don't yet know exactly how old she was when her mother died, that WoJ makes me believe she was no older than her early teens, so she was likely born sometime between 1797 and 1810.  What most interests me is that this means she and Luccio are close to the same age.

Might be worth adding to the timeline, along with the Luccio Entry, "Circa 1800" a mention of Margaret's Birth.

I did so yesterday.

Looking at Wikipedia, Krakatoa happened in 1883, so either Jim was mistaken about Eb's getting the Blackstaff, or there's some time-shenanigans going on (not completely crazy, since it sounds a little like what might have happened had the "banefire" gone off).

Either way, this seems to have been one of the first missions of Ebenezer as Blackstaff (perhaps the one in which his predecessor died?).
