The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is an ongoing graphic novel series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin O'Neill. The primary commentator on the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series (hereto after LoEG), is Jess Nevins, whose published works are considered the most complete annotations of all the various literary references made by this series. This timeline is composed of events that take place in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume I (LGV1), Volume II (LGV2), The Black Dossier (BLKD), the first issue (of three) of Volume III: Century (CENT), as well as the side stories "Allan and the Sundered Veil" (ATSV), the events hinted at or briefly covered in the expansive work "The New Traveller's Almanac" (TNTA), and the first of the three part short story "Minions of the Moon" (MINM); all of these works written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin O’Neill. However, ATSV, TNTA and MINM are text-based stories which take the form of a serialized, pulp-style "Boy's Story" (ATSV), a travel guide (TNTA) and a "new wave" science fiction story (MINM) respectively, with a few illustrations by Kevin O'Neill, rather than being in graphic novel form. All entries directly derived from these LoEG books will be so noted by footnotes, denoting exactly what volume, issue, page and (if applicable) panel the information comes from.

While this timeline concerns itself primarily with events which occur in the canon of LoEG directly, it also mention of several events which, while happening to characters contained in LoEG, are not directly shown in the pages of LoEG, but in the original works the characters were taken from; these entries shall be linked to their specific source material or otherwise noted in footnotes. Since LoEG is a crossover fiction, there are several events which the writer of LoEG will assume the reader already knows about the character, and these events can be considered canon. At some points, however, the fictional canon of LoEG comes into conflict with the worlds of the various fictional works used as components of the LoEG fiction. These places are clearly marked, but as a general rule, unless specifically noted, the events of the sampled fictional canon all are assumed to have happened as depicted in the original work, with the addition of being in a world in which the events of all the other fictional bodies have taken place as well.

Secondly, this timeline is written in ignorance of the events of all by the first issue of Century by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill, the first issue having been released in 2009, the other two currently scheduled to be released in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Sufficient to say, there will be much needed addition and correction to this timeline with the continuing release of "Century."

Thirdly, this timeline heavily sites events from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. Wherever Lemuel Gulliver is herein mentioned, and no note is made to site a specific reference in Moore's works, it is to be implied that this is in reference to the events this book.

 * c. 10,000 BCE – The Hyperborean Age.

13th Century, BCE

 * 1260 BCE – Bio (later Orlando) born in Thebes as the daughter of Tiresias and his wife, and sister of Manto.
 * 1250 BCE – Bio, having inherited her father's gender changing curse, placed upon him by Hera, becomes a boy at age 10.

 * 1241 BCE – Aged 19, too old for Pharaoh's sexual tastes, Bio signs on for an expedition to Punt.
 * 1240 BCE – Upon reaching Punt, Bio again changes into a female, fleeing into the jungle from her male companions. Wondering for weeks in the jungle, she discovers the "Pool of Fire and Life," bathes in it and becomes immortal and locates a graven map to Abyssinia, where she discovers a community of other immortals, though they are degenerated into troglodytic state.
 * 1236 BCE – Having joined this community of immortals, Bio is shown one of their ancient secrets, the shards of a shattered black monolith.

12th Century, BCE

 * 1184 BCE – Bion fights in the Trojan War, an effort by the Greek gods to cull their failed demigod hybrids from humanity, and is present at the fall of Troy, escaping it with Aeneas. Slightly before this cataclysm, however, Orlando would later claim to have said "Oh look! What a wonderful horse!" and that he, in retrospect, regarded this to have been the stupidest thing he ever said.
 * c. 1190 BCE – After six years of wondering, Bion, along with Aeneas and his family and followers, land in Carthage, where Aeneas has a brief but intense love affair with Queen Dido, on their way to Italy.

 * 1100 BCE-c. 1090 BCE – After some ten years of fighting the giants native to Brutain, they are driven almost to extinction. Corineus, Brutus's best wrestler and later founder of Cornwall, having previously taken the giant's chieftain, Gogmagog, prisoner at Totnes, throws him over a cliff during a wrestling match at a place which is thereafter known as Langoënagog (trans: "The Giants Leap") in modern day Plymouth.

Bio stays at K'un Lun as lover to Hsi Wang Mu for nearly 200 years.

8th Century, BCE

 * 774 BCE – Bio (later Orlando), having left Mount K'un Lun, arrives in Italy.


 * c. 745 BCE – Bio arrives shortly after the founding of Rome, now calling herself Vita. At some point around this time Vita becomes the lover of Romulus, co-founder of Rome, but accidentally slept with his twin brother Remus, spurring Romulus to kill his brother. Vita, becoming male soonthereafter, slips away unnoticed durring the furerary precession. Vita is now calling himself Vito.

These iron monsters would later become tourist attractions.


 * 323 BCE – Alexander dies. Vito, soonthereafter becoming a woman again and resuming her female name, Vita, spends the next two hundred and fifty years or so reading through the Library of Alexandria.

1st Century

 * 1 – Vita (later Orlando) is male again by this time, and, having resumed (assuming he called himself "Vita" during his previous thirty year stint as female) his male name Vito, is again fighting for Rome against the Teuton uprising in the province of Germania, probably under the command of then General Tiberius Claudius Nero as part of the XXth Legion.


 * 14, September 18 – Vito is present for the succession of his, austensibly, former commanding officer, Tiberius, to the Empery of Rome. Of him, Orlando later writes that he was "slimy" and "child-molesting".


 * 30 – The young Caligula is at this time only 18 years old, and prisoner in all but name of the Emperor Tiberius. This year of particular note because Orlando later writes that this was the year Caligula succeeded Tiberius. This means that either the history of this event is wrong, Orlando haveing austensibly been there, and thereby being a first hand account, or something important involving Caligula and Vito happened this year to make it stick out in Orlando's memory. Or perhaps the number 30 sticks in Orlando's memory because this is how many times Caligula was stabbed during his assassination.


 * 37, March 16 – Vito is present for the succession of Caligula to the Empery of Rome. Of him, Orlando later writes that he was "ruthless... although undeniably sane".


 * 41, January 24 – Vito is still in the service of the Roman army, we assume, when Claudius becomes Emperor of Rome. Orlando later writes that he was "stuttering" and "skulking".

 * 61 – Queen Boadicea makes her last stand at the Battle of Bridge Road, a location known in modern times as King's Cross Station. Mr. Andrew Norton, the time travelling "Prisoner of London" is present at the battle, at least briefly . Later, in 1910, Norton makes vague references to Boadicea being burried under platform 10 of King's Cross Station.


 * 79, August 24 – During the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, Vito, stationed at Naples, accompanies Pliny the Elder on his rescue mission to Pompeii. Vito stays aboard the ship, thereby surviving.

2nd Century

 * 100s, Early to Mid – Vito (later Orlando) has become apprenticed to Alexander of Abonoteichus, the snake cultist. Orlando later claims Alexander was a "charlatan".


 * 150 – By this point Vito has become female again, resuming her female name "Vita," and is unfavourably propositioned by her teacher Alexander of Abonoteichus, who at this time has nearly reached the height of his fame. In spite, Vita defects to Alexander's rival, the philosopher and satirist Lucian of Samosata, becoming his student instead. Some time after this, on an expedition through the Pillars of Hercules, their ship, being lifted into the sky by a large waterspout, carries Vita and Lucian to the moon. Presumably, Vita returns to Earth with the rest of the expedition which then encounters a large leviathan.

3rd Century

 * 218-222 – Vita "endures" the reign of the Roman Emperor Heliogablus. Orlando would later discribe this emperor as "mad".

4th Century

 * 363 – During the short reign of the Emperor Julian the Empire began to reassert its Pagan heritage from christianity. By 363, the year of Julian's death, Britain is declared, officially, a Pagan nation. Orlando, having studied under such tutors as Alexander of Abonoteichus and Lucian of Samosata, under the name Vita, both strong critics of (and strongly criticized by) Christianity, later recalls that this "greatly cheered" her. It is also at this time that Merlin, presumably, is born. Some time around 363 Vita returns to Britain, claiming it greatly improved since both the Roman Invasion and Julian's religious reforms.


 * 376 – At this time in Britain, Vita (later Orlando), is seduced by thirteen-year-old Merlin, whom she refers to as Ambrosius Merlinus.

5th Century

 * 410 – Rome rapidly begins to collapse, and in 410 pulls out of Britain.


 * c. 420s-430s – Uther Pendragon, in this power vacuum left by the withdraw of Rome, becomes King of Britain, his power centered in Cornwall. Orlando later refers to it as "Uther's Cornish kingdom", she, at the time known as Vita, having been present in Britain at the time as companion of Merlin.


 * c. 449 – Vita and Merlin take part in "certain marvelous events" that leads to Arturus, son of Uther, becomes King of Britain.


 * c. 449-468 – The Arthurian Era, or Camelot period, of Britain, during which, at some point, Vita becomes male again, resuming his male name of Vito. As Orlando, he later recalls Camelot was "quite as wonderful as is supposed".


 * 468 – Vito is present at the Battle of Camlann on Salisbury Plain, where Arturus is mortally wounded by Mordred, his magic scabbard, which magically heals bleeding wounds, having been stolen by Morgana who cast it into a lake. On his deathbed, Arturus bids Sir Bedivere to return Excalibur, his magic sword, to the Lady of the Lake from whence it came. Vito fights the Lady of the Lake, whom he later claims (as Orlando) was "a terrifying undine" , in order to steal the sword back for himself, renaming it "Durendal." Vito flees Britain, Camelot having been overthrown by Morgana.


 * 490 – A sword for hire in Denmark, Vito takes a contract from King Hrothgar to resolve his monster problem. Later, as Orlando, he would imply that he faced the monster, Grendel, first, but it was Beowulf who killed Grendel, in just the manner the poem claims.


 * 500 – Vito becomes companion to the dragon slayer Siegfried, and has his first encounters with ethereal realms.

6th Century

 * 568 – In Asgard, presumably, or some other ethereal realm, Vito (later Orlando) witnesses Ragnarok, the end of the Teutonic gods.


 * 568-571 – Back on Earth, Ragnarok is mirrored in our dimension by a large meteorite impact that causes a three year period of cold and darkness, prophesied to accompany Ragnarok, and called Fimbul Winter. At this time, Vito makes for France.

8th Century

 * 764 – Vito (later Orlando), under the more modern name "Roland," joins the knights of Charlemagne.


 * 768 – Charlemagne becomes King of the Franks.


 * c. 768-770 – At a feast held by Charlemagne, to which both Christian and Pagan dignitaries have been invited, Roland, along with other knights, including Rinaldo, falls in love with Angelica, pagan princess of Albraca in Cathay. There is much violence surrounding the suitors of Angelica. At Angelica’s flight from Lutetia (much later known as Paris), Roland sets out to quest for her love, at various times having adventures in eastern Europe, Tartary, India and Cathay, rampaging through Europe and Africa mad with unrequited love and eventually having his sanity restored by sorcery. All this while, Charlemagne, abandoned by Roland, is under siege in Lutetia, the siege being lifted upon Roland’s return.


 * 770-778 – Charlemagne wages a seven year war against the Saracens. In a final thrust into Spain (777-778) Charlemagne’s forces subjugate many Saracen cities, only to be ambushed on the return trip to France through Roncevaux Pass in the Pyrenees, the covering forces for Charlemagne’s army fighting to the last man, which happens to be Roland, who is then, out of their admiration for his fighting prowess, asked by the Saracens to join them. Roland accepts, though he is believed dead by the rest of Christendom at this time.


 * c. 779 – Roland, having his name mispronounced by the Saracens as "Orlando," becomes the lover of Sindbad the Sailor. Orlando later will claim Sindbad's name was pronounced "Sinned-Bad", that he was very well endowed and that he was "the most ingenious theif of the eighth century."

Orlando sulks, miserable, in Bagdad for decades.


 * 842 – Upon the ascension of Al-Wathik Be’Ilah to the Caliphate, Orlando takes up travelling with the, now styled, Caliph Vathek.


 * 847 – Orlando accompanies Caliph Vathek to the catacombs beneath Ishtakar, in the valley of Fakreddin, where the Caliph makes a deal with Eblis and is beset by demons who set his heart ablaze, perpetually, with hellfire for being allowed to view hell’s treasure. Orlando later comments that the treasure was less than impressive.


 * 900 – Orlando wonders the Holy Land.

11th Century

 * 1558 – Under the rule of Queen Gloriana I, Sir Jack Wilton establishes English (later British) Intelligence. Queen Gloriana makes Prospero court astrologer, and charges him to, after her death, form the first League, hereafter referred to as Prospero's Men, and bids that both he and Orlando stay in England until such a time. Prospero, under the name John Suttle, takes a wife, Doll Common, and resides in Mortlake. Orlando idles, bored, in London.
 * 1564 – Queen Gloriana and Sir Jack Wilton visit Greyfriars School.
 * 1593, May 30 – In London, after a day of heavy drinking at the establishment of Ma Bull, Christopher Marlow, and his entourage, are working on a scene in the garden which degenerates into a fracas in which Marlow is accidentally stabbed in the eye by Andrew Norton, the time travelling "Prisoner of London," with a sharp stick. The contemporary historical record of the Glorianian Era remembers Mr. Norton as "a strangely attired... Master Nortonne".
 * 1600 – Doll Common having recently died, Prospero, in mourning, takes his daughter, Miranda, and his immediate retinue to an enchanted island. Orlando and Queen Gloriana (if Orlando's later biographer, Virginia Wolfe, writing of the immortal nearly 320 years later, is to be believed) become lovers for a short while at about this time, and Orlando becomes engrossed in poetry and the arts (possibly out of boredom waiting for Prospero to return to England).

 * 1610 – The events of The Tempest take place about this time. Prospero returns to England to form Gloriana's "League." Who the earliest members consist of (besides Prospero, Caliban, Ariel, and, possibly, Orlando) is unclear. It is possible that their handler is Sir Basildon Bond.

 * 1673 – Captain Robert Owemuch discovers "the great national embarrassment" of Scoti Moria, also called Summer Island or the Floating Island, in the English Channel (sometimes to be found in the Thames-Isis Gulf, other times near France), inhabited by the lazy, chain-smoking, perpetually ninepins playing race called Naiads.

Unable to return to his realm, or his quest for that realm's "Shining City," he joins Prospero's Men in the hopes that Prospero, seemingly "diabolic" to Christian, may be his only hope of again crossing the dimensional gulf.
