There was also episode where Vachon had his name on Mississauga peace treaty
on 1787 and Rasputin was a vampire in Imperial Russia in 1916.
I am thinking that this kinds of flashbacks are quite difficult because they
can be politically sensitive. For example for me Czar Nikolai II has always
been an enemy of Finland, so I don't share the rather empathic picture of
Nikolai II in that episode. So one must always be a little careful what kind
of connections to real history and real people one makes in flashbacks. But
it is nice to think that FK vampires has seen many historical events and have
tried to live more or less successfully undetected during all these centuries.
One of my favorite fantasy is that Nicholas or LaCroix has actually met Jane
Austin and that her rather sudden death in her 40's were because somebody
actually brought her over.
Yours sincerely

I am using Knight Vision forum and have been part of it from 2004. There is
not so much activity on it, but it is still alive:
