## History

### Early Life

Sunil was born in Bombay, India on October 13th, 1896. He and his parents later moved to London.

He studied at Cambridge to become a doctor, but he never got his doctorate.

Sunil has had various hyperfixations in his life, snakes and dinosaurs being the most notable ones.

### Path of Perdition

#### Part 1

When Vito was murdered, he became interested in the investigation. He got involved in Vito's murder case along with the rest of the disaster gang.

#### Part 2

He, Kit, Sybil, and Mason found themselves in the middle of nowhere. They lost their memories of the past week. A man offered to take them to Madrid, and they stayed at the hospital there. They reunited with James, although Jackson was nowhere to be seen.

The disaster gang was later arrested for what the police claimed was a shootout. They were released when the sheriff realized they had no memories of the past week.

They went on to investigate the church that the shootout started in. After, they went back to the police station and found one of the officers. The decomposed body was revealed to be a crawling one and attacked Mason.

After that incident, a hotel receptionist they had met earlier appeared and told the group about her father and how he saw Sunil in one of his dreams. They agreed to go with her to meet her father.

Her father performed a ritual which made them fall asleep and dream. Sunil was shown his father rigged up to poison and uranium, as a form of "experimental medicine" for his illness. Traumatized by the sight, streaks of his hair turned white.

When they woke up, they regained their memories. They remembered where Jackson was taken and drove up to Kansas in an attempt to save him, although Jackson ended up saving them.

Sunil parted ways with the disaster gang at a train station.

### Four year skip (1921-1925)

Kit and Sunil started dating in 1922 and Kit later proposed to him.

### Masks of Nyarlathotep

#### New York

Suni and Kit were informed about the situation by Sybil and James. Sybil and James paid for hotel rooms for them at the Plaza, even though they insisted they didn't need to do that because they had already planned to go to America to meet up with Erin.

He arrived in New York with Kit a few days after everyone else.

The next day, James received a phone call from Jackson, who was clearly scared by something. They were told to meet him in his hotel room, since he had information for them.

When they arrived to the hotel Jackson was staying at, the Hotel Chelsea, Jackson didn't respond to the investigators repeatedly knocking on his door. James and Kit were prepared to kick Jackson's door down when he didn't answer, however, Sunil and Sybil stopped them. Instead, they got someone to open the door for them, and they found Jackson's corpse in the room and his murderers fleeing through a nearby alleyway.

He looked into Jackson's murder case as well as the other murders similar to it. He and Kit looked over Sybil, James, and Mason when they entered Ju-Ju House's basement.

Sunil assisted Kit in the NYPD police raid.

#### Post-New York

Sunil went up to Boston to meet up with Mary, Kit's mother, alongside Erin and Kit.

Sunil's engagement to Kit was revealed later in the session.
