The main purpose of this thread is to discuss the history of the Five. Throughout Season 1, we were given quite a few tidbits of what happened to get the story to where it is now.
However, I get a bit confused when I try to put these events in chronological order. I'd like to put a sort of timeline together, but I'd like some input from others to make sure that it's correct.
Here are a couple of dates to get started and the episodes in which they were mentioned. The one's that were not mentioned in the series but have historical dates have been marked. Note that these dates are not actually considered canon as TPTB could have changed some details.
~ 1829 - Birth of Gregory Magnus in Devonshire, England - "Warriors"
~ 1849 - Birth of James Watson - "Revelations, Part 1"
~ 1851 - Birth of Helen Magnus - "Sanctuary For All, Part 2"
~ 1856 - Birth of Nikola Tesla - {Historical Birthdate}
~ 1857 - Birth of John Druitt - {Historical Birthdate}
~ Late 1888 - The "Ripper" Murders - {Historical Date}
~ Late 1800's - Disappearance of Gregory Magnus by the Cabal - "Warriors"
Obviously, the injection of the source blood and the formation of The Five would have come before the Ripper murders, since the source blood is what cause Druitt to become mentally unstable.
What other events can we infer?
I'm also really interested in events that may not be able to answer by using canon information. How/When did Helen find out that John was Jack the Ripper? Did she realize that she was pregnant with Ashley before or after this revelation? How old was Helen when her father finally showed her his Abnormals? When did she enter Oxford?
If you wish to add other specific dates/events about the history of the Five, feel free to do so.
