A Day in the Life of the Dead
(A Timeline of Jack Skal's Life)
Artificial Incubus
Thicket of Briars
A short note about the timeline:
Because Jack was a character originally created to be placed in the world of Final Fantasy Eight, the places and storyline correspond to the same timeline as the game. At the end of the game in the menu under Tutorial/Information/Information/Centra Civilization it states that a civilization was founded in Centra 4000 years ago. Assuming that the history is current and accurate to this point in the game it is possible to say that the Neo Soceress War was ended in the year 4000 A.C. ("After Centra"). If you get confused about the year, don't worry, I'll be posting the lengths of time passed between events. 6.9
