Information from comments on answers:
the SciFi & Fantasy crowd (alexwlchan and Michael Edenfield) have got all but one of the numbers they need. You just need to correct their answers in a single place and you'll get the right solution.
Hint:
apparently neither of them has read as far as Immortal War.
Answer
And the answer is....
2015
Thanks to alexwlchan, Michael Edenfield, and leoll2 for their great answers.
The missing piece of info eluded to in rand al'thor's hint is...
that in Vampirates: Immortal War Sidorio has 2 more children, so the answer to Divide by the number of children fathered by Sidorio. is 4 and not 2
Making the final calculation $2383 - ((1002-1\times2)/4 +300-6\times29+9-18+7-4)+2$
