Herbert Wyndham is born in Manchester, England. Details of his early childhood are scarce, but it's implied he showed early signs of exceptional intelligence and scientific curiosity.

Wyndham excels in his studies, particularly in biology, genetics, and related fields. He begins to formulate his groundbreaking, if radical, theories about accelerated evolution and genetic manipulation.

Wyndham conducts his first experiments in genetic engineering. He is successful in increasing the intelligence of his Dalmatian dog, becoming his first evolutionary success.

Wyndham meets Jonathan Drew. Together they find an isolated mountain in Wundagore, Transia and build a citadel to further their research. Their partnership marks a significant step in realizing Wyndham's ambitious evolutionary goals.

Wyndham leaves Jonathan Drew after Drew becomes preoccupied with his daughter, Jessica. Wyndham continues his research, dedicating himself entirely to advancing his evolutionary theories and experimentation.
