Timeline

1600: Born Dǒng Huáng to Chinese parents in the Spanish-owned territory of Florida.

1630: Huáng is ghouled at age 30.

1667: Huáng's sire appeals to the local Carmilla Prince and gets permission to turn him. Huáng becomes a vampire at age 67, after about 37 years of being a ghoul. He English-izes his name to Bertram Tung.

1688: Mary "Goody" Glover is convicted of witchcraft for afflicting the children of John Goodwin in Boston. The symptoms that the Goodwin children experienced are well documented in a book by Cotton Mather, and are later seen in the afflicted girls of Salem Village.
Tung had been heading up towards New York, so he's in the area; he chooses to stay and keep an eye on things for the time being.

Feb 1692-May 1693: The Salem Witch Trials take place in Salem, Massachusetts, resulting in the conviction and execution of several mortal pawns of Madeline Coventry's chantry. The chantry proves strong enough to survive, however.
Tung, only being a neonate (vampire for ~25 years), still decides to stay and help other Nosferatu in the area as much as he can, and helps others get away and lay low over the course of that year.

[Fill in stuff about Tung going up and down the coast, getting a couple ghouls, and Embracing his own Childe here. He also heads over to California in the early 1900s.]

2003: Tung meets Knox, is impressed by the bounty hunter's skill, and offers a ghouldom. :)
The Ancilla Prince Sebastian LaCroix brings the Camarilla back into Santa Monica. This is not a popular decision with the Anarchs, the Sabbat... pretty much anyone, really. Tung has been a vampire for 336 years at this point, and is a few decades into being an Elder.

2004: Events of the game.
