Immanuel went upriver the first time that we know of in 1825.
I made a note. I was born in 1830. His liver-eater could have been alive when I was a child and still living among theTsalagi. We could have been related. It was too bad I couldn’t call and ask Grandmother if other skinwalkers were around at that time. But maybe Aya would know and tell me. He might even have PsyLED records about other skinwalkers. I had never asked him—point-blank—if there were others like us, if he knew other skinwalkers. I wasn’t sure why I hadn’t asked, except for that sibling thing we had going where we kept each other at arm’s length while, at the same time, wanting the other closer. Stupid family stuff. I went back to the list.
As per Reach, Immanuel went upriver multiple times before 1915. We considered the probability that he was turned in France, but it’s possible that on one such trip upriver, the liver-eater returned instead of Immanuel. With Leo busy running the city, he might not have recognized the scent change in his son, or Immanuel might have been able to change that too. Scent-change amulets exist, so it’s a possibility.
According to best guess timeline, one provided by the outclan priestess Bethany (now true dead), Immanuel made his trips upriver before the first Son of Darkness was bitten by an arcenciel and ended up chained in the sub-five basement of vamp HQ.
Ka N’vsita, sold to Adan Bouvier by her family or by Jane’s grandmother or by someone claiming to be Ka’s father when she was eleven, around 1803, entered NOLA around 1803–1804. She would have been born around 1790 or 1795? She was a mature woman when the B-twins “came to service.”
Ka became Adan’s primo, but primos need to be bound. Conflict? Or something else?
Ka could be Jane’s relative back a long way. Cousin, second cousin, great aunt? Someone closer.
Leo took charge of NOLA in 1912.
George Dumas (Bruiser) was 12.
George became bound to Leo at age 16.
After he took over, Leo sent Adan back to France for some undisclosed evil, and Ka went with him. Or she died. Reports vary. Leo told everyone that Adan died. But clearly he didn’t and they hooked back up, before Adan ended up a vamp prisoner, trapping arcenciels in a geode. (Which Jane destroyed.)
