Sean Timothy was a werewolf born to Cain Timothy and Elizabeth Timothy in 660 BC in Mordent. His litter mates were Eowin Timothy and Esther Timothy. He died in 679 BC, violently one might presume.
Continuity Problem
The Bloodlines family tree for the Timothy Family in Realm or Terror gives 660 BC as the birth date for Eowin Timothy, Esther Timothy and Sean Timothy. From these 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 a 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 and Elizabeth Timothy, the parents of Eowin, Ester and Sean, are put in that time in place of their children, with Cain being born in 537 BC and Elizabeth 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 born. The cleanest solution is to conclude that the correct dates for Cain and Elizabeth are 637 BC and 639 BC and that the Timothyss from 579 BC were a famous litter of three whose names were recycled in the naming of the litter of 660 BC.
