April 2, 1743 (age 26; Year 0 of undeath) Turned at the midnight Orthodox Easter Vigil in Sibiu by Vladinov Shikorski.

Late 1744 (Year 1) Renounces all formal priestly duties. Discards his vestments and disappears from parish life.

1752 (Year 9) As “Iacob Moldovan” in Vienna, apprentices at a street‑corner apothecary. By night, slips through alleys to bring poultices to the poor.

1764 (Year 21) In Paris, quietly tends the Jardin du Roi’s medicinal plots. Trades cuttings for bread, which he leaves on doorsteps of needy families.

1775 (Year 32) In London, attends free public lectures on anatomy. Feeds sparingly in hospital wards, leaving behind small sums to pay for medicines.

1789 (Year 46) Guides fleeing Parisians to safety after the Bastille falls, then slips back into the city’s shadows before dawn.

1795 (Year 52) During Utrecht’s great flood, joins local townsfolk in building sandbag levees. Hands out bread and bandages, never claiming credit.

1805 (Year 62) Watches Francis II’s coronation from a distant gallery in Frankfurt; spends the day stitching torn church linens for a nearby parish.

1812 (Year 69) In Riga, carries water and dressings to wounded civilians; his only “uniform” is a plain dark coat and simple cross around his neck.

1821 (Year 78) In Bucharest’s refugee camps, offers whispered prayers at each tent door and a quiet blessing before dawn.

1837 (Year 94) Visits St. Isaac’s Cathedral in St. Petersburg. Copies its liturgical chants by hand in a battered notebook, then returns it to a novice.

1848 (Year 105) During the Wallachian Revolution, hides wounded revolutionaries in a deserted barn outside Bucharest—brings them bread and water until the shooting ends.

1859 (Year 142) At the union celebrations in Iași, slips into ruined churches to replace broken icon lamps, then disappears into the crowd.

1877 (Year 154) At Plevna, carries fresh bandages from village to village, never affiliated with any army or aid society, simply a wandering cleric.

1889 (Year 166) In Berlin, makes facsimile sketches of stained‑glass panels in small parish chapels, leaving the copies behind for local priests.

1897 (Year 174) In London when Dracula debuts, attends as an anonymous guest in clergy garb; smiles at the drama, but keeps to the back row. 1907 (Year 184) In New York City, sits in on public sermons in tenement‑area churches; after services he quietly hands out loaves of bread.

1914 (Year 191) With the Belgian people’s relief efforts in Brussels, carries water, stitches uniforms, and offers soft words of comfort—no titles, no badges.

1917 (Year 194) In Petrograd during the February Revolution, guides American relief drivers through bombed streets—never asks for thanks.

1925 (Year 202) Back in Paris, spends weeks restoring a small village chapel’s fallen roof tiles—works alone by lantern‑light.

1936 (Year 219) In Madrid as civil war breaks out, distributes water and bread outside a public hospital—his only “office” a wooden cross tucked in his coat.

1943 (Year 200 of undeath) Paris under Occupation

By day, carries Red Cross parcels between shelters—wears no armband, only his old priest’s collar. By night, sketches Notre‑Dame’s windows in his attic, then slips into a nearby crypt for silent prayer.

Reunion with Vladinov Shikorski: In that same crypt, his sire tests him; offering power, titles, influence. Joshua simply bows his head, declines, and returns to tend the wounded at dawn.

1950s–1980s Travels quietly from village to village: copying chant manuscripts, tending to old churches’ leaky roofs, offering last rites to isolated sickbeds—never seeking reward or recognition.

1989 (Year 245) Returns to Sibiu days before Ceaușescu’s fall. Walks into his old church’s nave at night, lighting candles at each station, then slips away before morning.

1994 (Year 251) After ~250 years estranged, kneels at Brâncoveanu Monastery’s chapel door. The abbot welcomes him as a simple lay brother—he spends his days in manual labor and quiet prayer.

1995–2024 At the monastery: tending gardens, copying prayer books by candlelight, helping local villagers with healing poultices, and chanting the hours in a voice both ancient and humble.

2025 (Year 282 of undeath; age 308) Still with the Easter Vigil in Sibiu Cathedral, not as a priest in office but, as a humble chanter and reader, reconciling two centuries of exile with the simple joy of shared prayer. First time he was offered a contract.
