nothingtoknives | Headcanon Timeline and History

There is unfortunately not a lot of information on Billy's background before he met Goody. Byung Hun Lee stated in an interview "Actually, Billy was an indentured servant, and I couldn’t be patient, so I killed two of my masters and ran away" (source) and that's the extent of it. Furthermore, with director Antoine Fuqua referring to Billy as "the Korean character" (source), it throws a few wrenches into historical timeline.

Using historical research, I've compiled a rough timeline for Billy that I'll be using for his background.
