Revision as of 01:13, 10 November 2011
Ester Timothy was a werewolf born to Cain Timothy and Elizabeth Timothy in 660 BC in Mordent. His litter mates were Eowin Timothy and Sean Timothy. She married Richtor Dilisnya who was not a werewolf. She gave birth to a litter of three, among them the werewolf Virginia Dilisnya, and subsequently to Clifford Dilisnya also a werewolf. She was the aunt of Nathan Timothy, the great aunt of Alfred Timothy, and the grandmother Winifred Ratcliff. 
Eowin, Esther and Sean were named after the members of a famous litter from the prior century.
Continuity Problem
The Bloodlines family tree for the Timothy Family in Realm of Terror gives 660 BC as the birth date for Eowin Timothy, Esther Timothy and Sean Timothy. From this birth date follow those of the children, Virginia Dilisnya (682 BC), Clifford Dilisnya (687 BC) and Nathan Timothy (684 BC), and those of the grandchildren, Winifred Ratcliff (706 BC), Michael Ratcliff (706 BC) and Alfred Timothy (709 BC).
Unfortunately, Ravenloft II: The House on Gryphon Hill places Eowin, Ester and Sean Timothy in Mordent in 579 BC when Strahd and Azalin made their visit. An attempt in the Realm of Terror to address the matter is made insofar as Cain Timothy and Elizabeth Timothy, the parents of Eowin, Ester and Sean, are put in that time in place of their children, with Cain Timothy being born in 537 BC and Elizabeth Timothy being born in 539 BC. This attempt is deeply flawed however. Not only are the children born over a century after their parents, the death dates of the parents are given as 579 BC, eight decades before their children are in fact born. The cleanest solution is to conclude that the correct birth dates for Cain and Elizabeth are 637 BC and 639 BC with the pair meeting a sticky end in 679 BC (perhaps along side their son Sean Timothy) and that the Timothys from the prior century were a famous litter of three whose names were recycled by descendants in the naming of the litter of 660 BC.
