This page lists appearances of Henry Gordon Jago and George Litefoot in the order in which they experienced them. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed that for each novel, comic, audio or television series, their published, broadcast or numbered order is the order they occur in.

Fan sources like the Doctor Who Reference Guide should not be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Timeline[[edit source]]

Early lives[[edit source]]

Jago has started Monstre Gathering.
The Doctor lodges with Litefoot in 1887, presumably under a pseudonym. (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire)

Weng Chiang and the Doctor[[edit source]]

Jago meets River Song. Ending leads directly into The Talons of Weng-Chiang with the TARDIS materialising in London. Litefoot does not appear.
Jago and Litefoot meet each other, and the Doctor for the first time. Set in 1892, according to The Case of the Gluttonous Guru and Destination: Nerva, while the novelisation dates it to the 1890s. Rather anomalously, COMIC: The Time Machination sets it in 1889, but only by way of a caption.
Shortly after the events of The Talons of Weng Chiang, Jago and Litefoot plan to exterminate the remainder of the giant rats leftover from Magnus Greel's plot.

A fortnight has passed since Jago and Litefoot's visit to Shingle Cove in The Skeleton Quay. Litefoot believes that Jago was infected by a malign influence during their time in Shingle Cove, leading to his strange nightmares in the interim.

Jago and Litefoot's encounters with Doctor Tulp occurred "some time ago", with a lot having occurred in the interim. Litefoot recalls an incident that occurred at the New Regency "last month", suggesting they have been back in their own time for at least that long. It is implied that Jago and Litefoot have taken on various missions for the Colonel since The Skeleton Quay, suggesting a while has passed since then. They discover that the Colonel has nefarious plans of his own and is using Jago and Litefoot for those ends. After a confrontation with the Colonel goes wrong, Litefoot is arrested on suspicion of the murder of Jago, leading directly into The Trial of George Litefoot.
