• 1986 -- January -- Tremen hides out in Denver.
• 1990 -- August -- Tremen diablerizes Son in the streets of South Chicago.
• 1990 -- October -- Tremen inadvertently joins the Sabbat and they aid him in escaping the city and Maureen O'Leery's vengeance.
• 1991 -- 1997 -- Brought to the City of Black Miracles by the Blackhand pack 25:17, Tremen resides for a time in the pack's haven Ravenscrag. The Archbishop Sangris, a Haitian Serpent of the Light, seeing Tremen's influence on his childe Ezekiel as counter to his plans, nudges the Nagaraja into the venerable, but ineffectual coven of Les Misérables. When Sangris' infernalism is uncovered in 1992, Tremen is there to observe his trial and execution by thaumaturgic fire. A few months later, Carolina Valez the Lasombra leader of the Lost Angels from California is elevated to Archbishop and Dr. Hall is granted the position of Ductus, while his Malkavian Antitribu 'brother' becomes coven priest. Valez's rule is short and sweet and the autumn of 1997 the Inquisition once again emerges to reveal more infernalists, this time the brutal loyalist pack called Les Orphelins. Les Misérables, like all other loyal Sabbat hunted Les Orphelins and their infernal leader Pierre Bellemare. While Les Orphelins was captured and executed, inexplicably Bellemare somehow escaped, but not before numerous other infernalists were exposed, including the Daughter of Cacophony Muse of Les Misérables and the Tzimisce expert on bloodlines Marie-Anje Gagnon of the Coven of Librarians. These revelations brought Carolina Valez's leadership to an end and shattered both the Coven of Librarians and Les Misérables. Dr. Hall was interrogated / tortured by the infamous inquisitor Mercy and granted a ad cautlam, a document signifying the good doctor's lack of infernal involvement and he was given a subversive mission to New York to infiltrate the Camarilla of the Big Apple.
• 1998 -- 2000 -- Dr.Hall's new pack, code named the 3-Stooges manage to pass as Camarilla, but fail to detect the slow build up of Ivory Tower forces until they are thrust into the chaos of combat against their own Sabbat. With so little time, the Battle of New York only lasted a week, the stooges accomplished little other than to prove their loyalty to the Camarilla and to make the acquaintance of the Giovanni of Queens. For wagging war against their own sect, the stooges in the person of Dr. Hall received a share of the spoils, a domain in Queens right next door to that of the Necromancers.
• 2000 -- 2003 -- The next three years are fairly quiet, allowing Tremen to raise his Humanity and raise his sister's children who he purchased from Donatello Giovanni, that is until the unexpected and unwelcome Russian mafia takeover of the local underworld. Of course the Russians were taking their orders from a mercenary Tzimsice know as Oleg Selivanov of Brighton Beach in Brooklyn. When Selivanov pushed into Tremen's domain of Middle Village in Queens, Dr. Hall and his allies pushed back, by destroying Selivanov's haven, a notorious brothel, in Brighton Beach. Know the reputation of Tzimisce, Tremen gathered his beloved mortals and fled the Big Apple for home, Chicago.
• 2003 -- Summer -- Tremen's return home allowed him to reunite his niece Callista and nephew Jason with his sister Faith, but it also allowed him to finally follow up on the mystery surrounding the home invasion that led to his sister Annie's coma and the death of his best friend Carter. Truth is stranger than fiction, and the only lead came from the Followers of Set, specifically the Setite leader in New York Elie Sansaricq who revealed that a Setite in Chicago called Marcel Marchand had sold Tremen's niece and nephew to him, but only if he in turn sold the children into the cozy care of Donatello Giovanni.
