## Biography

### Early Life

Jacob Dorody was born in the year 2229. In 2248 he was among those responsible for an event known as the Revolution, utilising time-travel technology to alter the past and allow the organisation known as Novus Ordo Seclorum, to seize control of England (and possibly, though unconfirmed, other parts of the world). ("Dorody")

### Berlin

Under the alias of 'Claude', Dorody Jumped to Berlin with the intention of assassinating Adolf Hitler during his first speech as Chancellor on February 10th 1933. He was thwarted in his efforts by the London Field Team, but managed to escape thanks to the (separate) efforts of Ethan Taylor (acting under orders from Brent Hall) and a future version of Sarah Cunnington. ("Sarah", "Berlin", "Revelations")

### Spitalfields

Dorody assisted William Wakefield in having his niece, Mary Bowman, committed to Bethlem Hospital. Following the fiasco there, he also later offered Philip Walker, the steward of Bethlem, a job, which turned out to be as lead scientist for the Blackgrace labs in the twenty-third century. ("Spitalfields", "Walker")

In 1809, he went to Wakefield's tailor shop in Spitalfields, where the team was waiting for him. After a brief struggle, during which he made reference to the Sarah of the future and to someone called "Xuē", linked to her future, he was arrested and taken back to 2019. ("Bedlam")

He was not given a trial, and was instead incarcerated immediately in the Void. ("Geneva")

### New Philadelphia

Three weeks later, during the QIA's investigation into the murder of Ansar Jilani, Sarah discovered evidence suggesting that Dorody was his killer ("Jilani").

With the help of Warden Ben Scallon, the team went in to interrogate him. While Dorody denied killing Jilani, he did concede that he has killed a lot of people and may have just forgotten. *(However, it was later revealed in "Revelations" that he was indeed innocent of this crime, having been set up by Ethan, once again under the orders of Brent Hall.)* Dorody also informed them that he could help lead them to Cassius, a high-ranking Reclaimer who had apparently betrayed his organisation and was to be executed in a prison in the year 2263. Although this was completely unprecedented, the team underwent a Jump into the future, to the city of New Philadelphia, taking Dorody with them as a guide. However, not long into the mission, the team were ambushed and Dorody escaped his captivity, thanks once again to Ethan, acting again on Hall's orders. ("Dorody", "Revelations")

Two weeks later, Dorody attempted to foil the Resistance attack on Blackgrace, but he was assumed to have been killed in the explosion caused by Carl Stone's suicide bomb ("Walker"). Shortly before this, however, he had shot and killed Ian Wood with expert precision, leading Sarah, a couple of days later, to realise that he could not possibly have killed Jilani after all, as Jilani's execution had been sloppy, unlike Dorody's style. She would later learn that Jilani had in fact been murdered by Chris Darby. ("Misdirection", "Revelations")

Dorody in fact survived and was sent back in time to 1943 by The Divine, where he posed for six months as Charles Staniforth's supervisor at Bletchley Park. Once Charles' work was completed, Dorody murdered the codebreaker and returned to 2264 with the message. ("Death")

### Joyeuse

Based in 2023, Dorody was sent by Fran to the year 1942 to recover the sword, Joyeuse, from deep within the mountain. He succeeded, but inadvertantly caused a quantum infraction that led to the London Field Team to track him. Despite their intervention, he left them - as well as Jack Harringer - trapped in 1942, and escaped with the sword. ("Glittertind")

Shortly afterwards, he was sent by Fran to help Sarah, who was on the cusp of her Ascension. He led a one-man attack on the London Hub, armed with Joyeuse, killing Natalie Daly and several others, before being temporarily disarmed by Ethan, Tasneem Hafiz and Iulya Dalca. Sarah, out for blood following the murder of her son by, she believed, Brent Hall, picked up the sword and went to confront her enemy. Dorody and Ethan arrived just before Sarah, having learned the truth (that it had been Fran, not Hall, who had murdered Carlos, stabbed and killed Zoey Hallett with the sword. Dorody was shot with prohiberazin but after offering to take Sarah to 'his world', she Jumped with him, presumably to the future. ("Ascension")
