1310 CE: Peter is 23 years old, dies for the first time in his life at the hands of a band of outlaws. After regeneration, he can't fathom what he had just experienced, and writes it off as some sort of hallucination.

1311 CE : Peter dies for the second time after falling off a cliff by accident. He breaks every bone in his body and completely shatters his skull, but wakes up after some time, fully healed and regenerated. Since he died only after lying on the ground for about a minute, he still remembers what happened. On the next day, he repeatedly impales himself on his sword, only to heal back to normal again. There is little room left for doubt now : He has somehow become invulnerable. After thinking about the potential of his mysterious new powers, he decides to start hiring himself out as a mercenary, hoping to earn some cash. (By sheer luck, he never experiences the misfortune of someone chopping his head off in the upcoming centuries. Given the fact he didn't knew there were any other Eternals besides him until 2010, this is a nearly miraculous amount of luck.)

1312 CE: Peter fights on the king's side at the Battle of Rozhanovce/Rozgonyi (the current Hungarian monarch is Charles I. Robert of Anjou, the first Hungarian Anjevin). Peter uses his preserved Hospitaller uniform to disguise himself and blend in with the Hospitallers partaking in the battle.

Katherine is struck by a crossbow bolt and they flee into the woods to find temporary shelter. Peter tries to track down the assasin and kill him, but isn't succesful, since the assasin is a master of stealth. After three days of hiding, Katherine dies due to severe infection from the wound, even though the bolt was removed shortly after the fatal incident. Peter mourns the uneasy loss, examines the bolt and discovers it was deliberately modified to cause as much infection as possible. He has to leave Katherine's body behind and go into hiding, but makes sure her family can locate it and give her a propr burial.

1422-1434 CE: After coming to grips with cruel reality, Peter decides he needs to forget. He enters the battlefields of the Hussite Wars, hoping the endless slaughter and carnage he's partaking in will help calm down his inner pain and anger. Most of the time, he fights on the Hungarian side, but he also doesn't mind becoming a mercenary for whoever pays the most, especially in the later stages of this bloody era.

1540s and 1550s : Still living in Bardejov, Peter becomes good friends with Leonard Stöckel - local scholar, head of the city's school and an early advocate of Protestantism in Hungary. Stöckel occasionally tries to convince Petike to convert to Luther's teachings, but he declines.
