Cast of Characters

Connor MacLeod

Born in the Highlands of Scotland Near Glenfinnan by the shores of Loch Sheil in the year 1518.He became immortal in the year of 1536 and was cast out of his clan for being a demon after his sudden resurrection after his first death. He moved to Glenn Furin and married Heather, whom he called Blossom. During his years in New York, he called himself Russell Nash.



Duncan MacLeod
Adopted by the chieftain of the MacLeod family after his birth in 1592. During a battle in 1622 he was killed and become immortal. He has wandered the world ever since, although in the last 25 years he seems to have found a home in both Paris, France and Seacouver, Washington USA ((close to Seattle best this author can figure out)).

Methos (aka Adam Pierson)

At the lofty age of 5000 years old, is known to only few. To most immortals and watchers alike Methos is a Legend, a myth. In his incarnation as Adam Pierson, Methos became a Watcher responsible for researching the myth of Methos. ((At which he said once, "what better job can I have? I am in charge of finding myself and I make sure it never happens!" Methos/Adam was a watcher for over 10 years, until there came a time that it was found out that he was immortal himself. His timeline is so lengthy and so complex it seems that no one could monitor it all ((but we all can try))


Heather MacLeod (Blossom)

Connors first love and wife. Connor lived with her until her death. Connor always lights a candle for her on her birthday, due to a promise she garnered from him on the day of her death.

Rachel Ellenstein

Rachel Ellenstein was a small child when Connor MacLeod found her during one of the Great World Wars. Connor then raised Rachel as his own daughter. In later years she became one of his trusted friends and confidantes about his immortality. Adoptive mother of Heather Ellenstein.

Brenda Wyatt




Inquisitive sword specialist that works with the New York Police Department in the early to mid 70's. Became involved with Connor MacLeod during the late 70's.


Jacob Kell

Former priest and friend of Connor MacLeod. When they burned Connor's Mother at the stake in Glennfinnan in 1555, Connor in his despair killed the priest that had raised Kell from a Child. Kell in his rage attacked Connor, causing Kells's first death and subsequent rage and tormenting of Connor through the centuries.


Heather Ellenstein ((aka Heather Nash MacLeod))

A mysterious young woman of unsure parentage in search of who she is. She stands about 5 foot 7 inches, with streaked dirty blonde hair and green eyes. Stubborn to a fault Heather has a great ability to find trouble.


Joe Dawson

Duncan MacLeod's Watcher, who at times needs a watcher himself. Joe tends to forgo following the Watcher's hierarchy of rules when it comes to helping Duncan and his friend Adam, who he knew for years as a watcher, and has recently come to know as Methos. Joe takes the rules and interprets them in his own way. But it works for the good of Duncan himself and Methos. Joe is a extremely proficient blues musician and owns a couple of bars, Joes in Seacouver and Le' Blues Bar in Paris.


Cassandra

Cassandra is a 3000 year old immortal with a very elusive past. We all know she started her immortality at the hands of Methos ((thereby ensuring everlasting anger and rage against the Really old guy)). She is also a known Witch and Healer. She has a verified past with Duncan MacLeod from his Childhood and rumour abounds that shes also been involved with Connor MacLeod although this is not verified in canon.

Endgame etal: Kell's posse, Kate etc..
Various immortals who aided Kell in his quest to hurt immortals and sway the Gathering to his own ends.
Various OCs of the author's invention.


Introduction

Authors Notes:

This story, although for the most part will take place around the time of Endgame, also incorporates a lot of what ifs from the first Movie. What did Connor do after he took The Kurgan's head. What exactly happened to Brenda and Rachel? I have tried to not play with the established happenings ((including the unreleased parts on the Endgame DVD.)) What I tried to do was incorporate all that happened into what I saw happening in my head. The entire group just would NOT hush in my head. It was they who are WRITING the story. I just went along for the ride. Really!! Now before any of you go how could this have been happening, let me reiterate. Only Duncan was really busy during that movie, and I seriously doubt that Joe Dawson, Methos or other people were just standing around willy nilly waiting to help or rescue Duncan. Hence this idea was born.

It is all based on the theory of something Connor said at the very end of the first Highlander movie, how he could now grow old and die.. how he could have children. Although it is standard knowledge that no immortal can procreate.. what if.. in some 1 in a million chance.. Some of them was able too? I mean.. they have gotta come from somewhere.. they dont just appear as babies without being born. Right?
