Homemade Watchers Chronicles

[Apollo1]

I approve of the changes you've made to the Black Friar breakout storyline, Gardner. The basics are the same with Eadwulf still taking out Alfgar from a distance. And Meghan still met her end anyway at the hands of another escapee a few years later.

And the Gathering having been started by the Immortals War is ironic considering that was Memnet-Ra's plan all along. He may have perished but it seems his legacy lives on....

First recorded sighting : 1798. Liverpool, England
Found and mentored by Jade el-Amin, at this time
a circus acrobat

In the Game, the first victim is innocence, the innocence of children killed too soon, reborn to hunt or be hunted. Kenneth, Bossart, the Coyoteros are prime example of it as is Pilar Gonçalves from England who was taught by Jade el-Amin to use her innocent features as an advantage. Jade and Amanda were similar in all things, including the manner they mentored youg immortals. Trickery, deceit, lies, murder.
Ever since her first death, Pilar has been killing her fair shaire of immortals, a lot of them wanting to use her, but some who weren’t evil. Still she killed, little by little becoming like Kenneth. Her last quarry was Harry Houdini the master escapist who saw clearly through her game and wasn’t above killing an immortal woman hiding behind the face of an innocent child. Needless to say Houdini had to leave Madrid as fast as possible, relocating to Southeast Asia after the local police found the body of Pilar. He couldn't afford to have the body of a child linked to him.

The lost little lamb named Sherilynn Wolpher came after Richie Ryan asking for his help, the bad man was after her, he killed her Immortal friend and she was in danger of being killed. Richie Ryan maybe an eternal teenaged boy but his is not Immortal to lose his senses over a girl like this ! Especially not after meeting the likes of Felicia Martins who tried to take his head twice ! Sherilynn was in cahoots with projecting empath John Garrick and did his bidding, both Immortals forming a lethal tag-team against those of their kind. They hoped to clear the way in Seattle with Ryan's death. But Richie wised up and took the girl's head before John got his. The empath did his best to drive Ryan crazy with disturbing visions, with nightmarish fantasies projected into his mind but Ryan has seen it all. John Garrick is no more. When he came after Ryan, he expected an easy kill but it was the red-head teen who put the Englishman to his final resting place.

Watcher : Research, Southern Europe

She was called the bear woman by her men, because of her switching moods and the way she ferociously defended her cubs, a tribe offoster children born in the 14th century who followed her everywhere and whom she trained as spies, saboteurs and assassins infiltrating ennemies lines in warfare. She was even thought to have been a past identity of legendary Kellistra because of her former alias of Kallistrate
and the fact Kellistra once called herself Ursual Katz, seemingly a dead giveaway. However, Kallisto was found to have been born in the Nicopolis Theme of the 12th century and was identified as a past disciple of Seraphina of Rome. So much for the Kellistra/Kallisto theory.
Kallisto disappeared during the Byzantine civil war of 1357 with her children and was never heard from again.
What could turn an heroine and mother into such a ruthless killer ? If she lost her children/tribe to the Game it may have broken her heart to the extant she lost touch with her humanity. Since she re-appeared in 2014 she has been playing theGame withabandon, seemingly not feeling one thing. Even Safiya Khan has a life of her own. Kallisto... just plays the Game. So sad/

Victor : Deoneces of Sparta

Katherine arrived to late to save the life of her son Adam, murdered in cold blood by Kallisto of Nicopolis, the young pre-Immortal didn't reach his Immortality and would never achieve his full potential. Not that he would have enjoyed it much. How could Kallisto murder Adam is beyond us, the former mother hen is gone forever, replaced by just another headhunter. Katherine had only two days to bury her son, she felt devastated and was lucky to have Deoneces and Kyra of Sparta by her side at the funeral. Seraphina was here too, as well as Xanthia from London. After the burial it was time for revenge but Katherine was in no shape to fight and Deoneces knew it. However, Kate took the time to sharpen her sword. Grief would come later. Now was the time of the Gathering and doomed or not, she would avenge her son.
Her battle against Kallisto of Nicopolis was a furious one and as Deoneces predicted, Kallisto prevailed. Buit not for long.
Deoneces came after the warrior-woman like a fury and took her out of the Game; he grienved for his woman, for her son but also for hte old friend who had turned into an ennemy whose soul had been lost to the Game long ago. Watchers predicted that what could befall a colossus like Deoneces would be the deaths of Kyra, Seraphina and Katherine, his three sirens. Katherine is no more. Can Seraphina and Kyra survive and make sure Deoneces does ?

Roster of Immortals Status : Deceased

Victor : Swenja Baatz


Was it Carter Wallan joke that rubbed Lootje De Groot the wrong way ? Carter's puns are often bad and can be misunderstood. He should have known the reputation of Lootje, a woman with a dark, twisted sense of humor who doesn't like being mocked and felt the youngish Immortal was humoring her. The friendly overture was addressed to the wrong kind of lady and soon the pleasant evening ended with a fatal confrontation between the two Immortals. Once united in a common goal against the pawns of Mement-Ra durign the Immortals War, now led like lemmings by the madness of the Gathering, the fight ended with Lootje victorious. Carter died on his knees, a demonstration that the woman is indeed the deadliest of the species.

Hazeem Al Bachrim had barely the time to mourn before he tracked Lootje De Groot to her lair where he was met by Lootje's companion, Swenja Baatz. Hazeem intended to avenge his companion but his resolve was lacking. Carter was dead, what was there for him to fight ? Before Swenja's sword, the Ashanti remembered the failure from the tribal ritual which ended his mortality and he finally understood the folly of spending centuries playing the Game endlessly. As his head rolled on the ground, he may have contended himslef with his only prize : to be reunited with Carter forever in the afterlife.

Watcher : Jenna Milano

Messalina of Rome didn't last long against Deoneces of Sparta after she killed the second of his "sirens". Seraphina was expected to be among the contestants of the Final Gathering, however, while a superb fighter, Messalina bested her. She must have trained harder than Seraphina did because she displayed superb fighting kills we didn't expect from her. After all, Messalina was never truly a player of the Game. How she did fight sometimes, if only to savor the odd Quickening or to rod herself from an an enneny but this was a surprise.
She didn't enjoy her Quickening for long, however. Deoneces challenged her but his grief nearly cost him his head; His concentration looked gone. Kyra was ready to interfere, if only to shut the Roman bitch's viperine mouth but Deoneces denied his fellow Spartan and finally won.

Deoneces and Kyra buried Seraphina, but they will need each other if theri want to be the survivors of hte Gathering.

Wow, Gardner! Some big scalps being taken this year. It seems the Gathering is in full force. The amount of Immortals losing their heads already has severely depleted the population. So many Immortals have died since the Immortals War, more than probably in several centuries combined. So many won't see out the 2020s, if any! Lol

Do you have the backgrounds for the Marvel brothers? They're not on my list.

Cheers

There will be survivors, "There can be only one" is but a myth after all, once Memnet Ra's motto. Only One Ra. The big and minor players will kill each other off leaving the neutral and more peaceful Immortals to live and fight another day. Think Magnificent Seven, the movie with Yul Brynner : the farmers won in the end

Warren Cochrane had scores to settle with Steven Keane so that's why he took him out of the Game last May, but what come after Frances Drummond ? Because she is an Englishwoman or becauser There Can Be Only One ? No reason for it by the look of it but Cochrane always was mentally unstable and the Gathering made him lose his mind for good : honestly who would try to take on the fabled Crimson Butterfly ? You would need to be insane or desperate to have the power of a major player like Frances Drummond.
Cochrane is no more, his dreams of winning the independance of Scotland gone forever.

Great recent updates, my friend.
Hazeem and Carter ironically died in a similar fashion to how they perished on the TV show; Carter said something to Richie, who had a short fuse, Richie kills Carter, Hazeem hunts down Richie, runs into MacLeod, who challenges and kills Hazeem to protect Richie (though on the show MacLeod also had a score to settle with Hazeem. Here, Carter says something he shouldn't have to the hot-headed Lootje, who fights and kills Carter, Hazeem hunts down Lootje, finds Swenja, who challenges and kills Hazeem to protect Lootje (don't think there was any score to settle this time though). Symmetry.

Still loving your updates, my friend. Nice to hear about Damon Case again. And many previously missing Immortals coming out of the woodwork now the Gathering is upon us....

Before my mum passed away i had done some work on a chronicle i was going to post. As you can imagine, it kind of got put on the back burner for awhile. I've taken some tentative steps into completing it. i'm a bit out of practice and still not 100%, but I've given it a go. Hope you like it...

The only pre-Flood Immortal to survive the Great
Catastrophe

From the Records of the Sacred Order

All myths and legends are said to be based on kernels of truth. And according to the Order, one such myth is that of Noah’s Ark. The legendary Noah was, according to the Order, actually an Immortal called Utnapishtim, who was forewarned by Immortal prophetess Enki about the coming catastrophe and urged to survive to preserve their race and the knowledge of the Great Immortal Kingdoms of Atlantis, Hyperborea, Lemuria, and Kunlun. The Ark of the legend was, according to the Order, not an actual ark, but either the written records of those kingdoms (the Order have, according to our Watcher team, acquired these sacred scrolls) or pre-Immortal children of the First Immortal Era. The Sacred Order have confirmed that Utnapishtim survived at least until the first millennium AD before being slain by Kotys the Hunter, who subsequently dropped out of sight until re-appearing as the Order’s hitman, The Apostate.

This evidence now means that Darius did not in fact kill the oldest living Immortal of his era since Utnapishtim was still alive at this time (and would have been nearly 8,000 years old!), at least for a few more centuries.

Cheers

Nice story about this ancient Immortal, Apollo. Are Watchers and Ravenwood aware of the Sacred Order's existence?

G.

[Apollo1]

Another kill for Amy Ross. More testament to the teaching skills of Henry of Kent who always makes sure his students' sword skills are good enough to match any Immortal except only the most powerful and skilled of their kind.

And yes, the Watchers are now aware of the Sacred Order since they've managed to infiltrate the ranks of the Order's mortal scribes and support staff. The inner circle of Ravenwood will be aware that anyone who has sought out the secrets of the Order have all died so only a small group of Watchers and Ravenwood Immortals will have access to this information. The Order have spies everywhere so the least amount of people who know, the better.

Cheers
Apollo1

[Gardner]

So that means Deoneces, Kyra, Drummond, Henry of Kent and Clemont of Haynes know about the Order. Possibly the SIS too, since they are close associates of Ravenwood. I am making the Gathering happen because the Sacred Order is pulling strings : they are preserving mankind's knowledge and want to clear out any Immortal interference, thus an artifically triggered Gathering. The Apostate is designed in advance to become The One, i.e the only one who will serve the order for all eternity.
The Sacred Order may be benevolent, but they hijacked the Game and are killing Immortals for their own cause. So this make them the enemy.
The Apostate, in likelihood, executed the survivors of the Zodiac Brotherhood before the ZB could rise again : Bernie Crimmins, Johann Faust and Pharamond are dead, though the Watchers cannot prove it. As a matter of fact, I see the Sacred Order as benevolent, righteous VILLAINS.

Watcher : Dwight McFee

Joe Muhamad was originally born in Algeria, his parents moved in America in 1899 for a better life in Lousiana when he was in his teens. His father was a metalsmith, making beautiful works decorating inns and hostels and making good money for his wife and four children. When WWI erupted, Joe was drafted with millions of other Americans in 1917 and sent to Europe where he was hit by mortal shells on the trenches, losing both of his legs. Unhappy with his life, Joe followed in his father's footsteps, hoping to find achievement in metalworking. He spent the nex twenty years honing his skills until one night in 1939 when young robbers came into his shop looking for a stash of money had with no doubt hidden in his shop. When trying to stop the robbers, Joe was fatally shot and died. That was the end of Joe Muhamad and the beginning of one of rarest immortals to enter the Watchers'Chronicles : an handicapped man, mentored by a lengendary immortal - Marie Laveau - and taught to use a shotgun to parry off Immortals coming after him. And he has been quite apt at using his gun to fend for himself in the Game, waiting for any heahdunter foolish enough to come after an "easy target" like him.
After he shot and killed Chrystle Lightning in April – even as unlikely as it sounds – we expected old Joe to be possessed with the same evil that festered in the Indian’s mind, the dreaded Dark Quickening. However that didn’t seem to be the case, Joe seemingly has his own private demons and the DQ’s malevolence didn’t change his character. The same old angry Immortal who unexpectedly met up Richie Ryan on the outsklirts of Seattle. Richie was surprised to meet an Immortal who reminded him of his old friend Joe Dawson.
But this wasn’t Joe Dawson and the old Algerian tends to shoot first and ask questions later. His powerful shotgun nearly lopped Richie’s head off who chose to exit the premise. No need to loose one’s head over a temperamental Immortal who doesn’t follow the rules of the Game.

The best villains in any medium, TV, film, literature, are always the ones who see themselves as the heroes of their own story. In my view the best villains are the ones often doing terrible things for what they see as the right reasons. It makes them more interesting as antagonists. Conflicted heroes who become villains through grief, villains who believe their way is the only way to save the world, anti-heroes manipulated into doing bad things by a greater intellect using them for their own ends....all these i much prefer to moustache-twirling villains who do what they do because they're "evil" (a great example of this is the old and new Battlestar Galactica; in the old series Baltar betrayed the human race because, well, he was evil basically; in the new series, Baltar was a bit of an egotist who was seduced by a Cylon agent and unwittingly became responsible for humanity's downfall. He spent the rest of the series flipping from one side to the other purely for selfish reasons; his own self-preservation, and in the end redeemed himself by saving what was left of humanity. As you can tell, a bit of a favourite of mine! Lol)
So i can see where you're going with the Sacred Order and why they would believe eliminating the more dangerous Immortals is the right thing to do...

However, what the Sacred Order don't know (actually they haven't discovered yet, because it's in those scrolls that Utnapishtim saved from the Flood), is the real reason Enki wanted Utnapishtim to survive: to warn the next generation of Immortals not to make the same mistakes they made. The Great Immortal Kingdoms fell because of Immortal hubris; they believed they knew best, that they were better than mortals. They believed it was their divine right to guide humanity by ruling them, but Enki came to discover that Immortals were meant only to be teachers and guides, to build a better world by benevolently aiding mankind from the shadows, not by manipulating them , but by helping them through their vast experiences of life and history.

The pre-Flood Immortals instead built Kingdoms and became rulers and warmongers. They turned on each other and, in the end, an asteroid (was it divine intervention? I'll let you decide!) brought the pre-Flood civilisations to an end. Enki believed the Immortals were responsible for their own destruction because of their arrogance.

The Sacred Order, it would seem, are not heeding the lessons of Enki. Arrogance and hubris destroyed the First Immortals. Is history about to repeat itself?

Amanda and Nick Wolfe dead? Shock, horror! Lol
Admittedly, I'm not too displeased about Wolfe biting the big one. But Amanda? Still, even in the TV series (both Highlander and Raven) she was average with a blade, definitely not on the same level as Duncan MacLeod. But she still outlasted him (and could Duncan's death have held some sway over her willpower in the fight with Swenja?).
Mixed feelings here, lol, since i have a soft spot for those bad girls Swenja and Lootje.
With Amanda dead, i believe only Joe Dawson, Richie Ryan and Methos are left from the main cast now.

Cheers

Poor Amy Ross! I really had a sofft spot for the school teacher. A formidable swordswoman for a relatively young Immortal, but in the end probably not quite focused enough to match Chang. Maybe if she'd been a couple of centuries older and with a few more heads under her belt, she might have taken Chang.

Still, at least Henry of Kent didn't let Chang gloat for long. Once he had the Chinese Immortal's scent there was really only going to be one winner.

From the Records of the Tribunal

Botany has always been a great hobby of Bertric’s. He learned about plants and herbs from Brother Aloyisus the Abbey’s herbalist, when he would stayed after the Crusades. Aloysisus was a great teacher and friend to him and the chronicles of that time tell of the friendship and adventures that they had. He put much of use of herbs and healing on the battlefield. Much of his life was spent as a soldier, guide, or a mercenary. But no matter where he was, when he gets back home he has seeds or cuttings from some plant he has come across.
Lately he has been putting his knowledge to use in the lab. Grace Chandel has been pestering him to join her in the lab to help synthesize new medicines from various plants. The work seems to be going well and they seem to be getting on rather well too.

Bertric's death by the sword of Carlo Sendaro is the incentive that fueled Grace Chandel's decision to take action against her estrangedf husband and to finally rid the world from him. A divorce immortal-style.

Ramsay Munro

I suppose we needed Crocodile Dundee on the Immortal scene in Australia, yet another cliché of the Australian myth for the Europeans and Americans who come visit us. Ramsay Munro however is a very serious player of the Game and an apt survivor who protect the wildlife and its endangered species from ‘roos hunters and croc hunters coming for their pelts. In the past two hundred years since we have been following him many Immortals have come after his head and never came back from their safari trip. His sole friend in the Immortal community is the vigilante Rokali Tapai who also hunts predators, of the sexual kind. They once debated on who are the worst : those who kill to eat or those who maim and rape women and children. A never-ending debate.

As in the odl Grimm tales they got lost in the Black Forest and foudn the gentle lady with food and warm beds ready for them, not knowing she was killing Immortal children to perform sacrifical rituals for an ancient God she was serving. The Frau Totenkinder wasn't even listed in our records at that time, she first apears in 1360 as an ennemy of Terence of Coventry and Hannah Baran who were hunting her for past crimes committed againt children and arrived in the proverbial nick of time to prevent hte Von Arlon kids from beign slaughtered.
The old crone managed to escape and wasn't seen again until she re-appeared in Victorian England, leading an underground cult that was uncovered by the Secret Immortals Services. Again she evaded Immortal justice.
As the Gathering finally comes here she was, cornered by her former would-be victims. And that one time, she was the one to end in the oven, burnt to a crisp, her Quickenign received by Benedict.

First recorded sighting : 642. Ravansar County,
Iran. Refernced as a shrine keeper by Methos
when he took Xanthia of Melitus to Ravansar
Spring to cure her of a Dark Quickening

After 92 years of hunting his old friend, Metopholus finally caught up to Xanthia in Alexandria the year the city was besieged by the Muslims who ordered the burning of Alexandria’s library. A tragedy for the wise Prisca Negra, a Nubian woman once disciple of Sunda Kastagir, and who sought to preserve the world knowledge, only to see it burnt down. But nothing could save her from pillaging Arabs and from the demented Xanthai who took her out after a brief battle. Did Prisca Negra’s Quickening sane her up ? Or was it Prisca’s innate goodness and widsom which washed away Xanthia’s anger and hate ? When Metopholus found Xanthia, it was as if she was reverting to her old self, but the ancient immortal knew better and took her to Tripolitania, to an ancient shrine located in a cave, where he left her on her own for seven days and nights, until Xanthia finally rid herself from her demons. The shrine was kept by a Muslim friend of his, Fayrul ibn al-Din who made sure Xanthia was kept safe.
In the end, Xanthia’s goodness prevailed and she was back to her senses, but befallen with the memories of the good immortals she murdered and of the mortals lives she destroyed during her rampaging years.

Helen Bondeville and Allegra Chambers died in simultaneous attacks from the long lost Aoife of Alba and Scathag of Skye
who put aside their mutual hatred to strike at the core of the SIS. The SIS belles were good with swords and lasted for
centuries in the Game by training hard while the hateful sisterly pair lasted by using manipulations and illusion tricks
taught from the witch Cassandra.
Helen and Allegra were known for their British sense of fair-play and believed in training and mastery of the sword, one
one's emotions to survive against Immortal opponents. A true shame that their last fights confronted them against women
known for mind-manipulating their quarries. Allegra and Helen both thought old, dead enemies from the Spanish Cabal
and Knights of Charlemagne had come back from the dead to torment them and when they discovered the illusions were
created by Immortals, it was too late.

Location: Liverpool
Victor: Sobani Samata (Chand Sisters)

Alice Ming's killing by the long lost Sobani Samata was thought unrelated to the deaths of her colleagues from the SIS, but
after the later Mini-Gathering in London it is our opinion that the Hellfire Club did recruit the Hindu woman as well as Aoife
and Scathag to kill off members of the SIS. The Club's purpose was to break the morale of their surviving friends in the SIS.
This was a huge mistake.
We didn’t expect Alice Ming to last very long, but she confronted the Chand woman with courage and a will to survive that
made the admiration of her male counterparts in the SIS. While not as skilled as Lang Quing or May-Ling Shen, she used
scare tactics against Sobani Samata but in the end Samata proved more determined and won.

One week after the wanton murders of Helen Bondeville and Allegra Chambers who we are going to sorely miss, Aoife and
Scathag went to Salibury where Xanthia of Mleitus spends three months in the year, from the Solstice of September to
Christmas' Eve.. The ancient keeper of the Stone of Methuselah is in touch with her ancient Druidic customs and enjoys the
peace and quiet of the Stonehenge Monument. A peace that was disturbed by the arrival of her old friends who long ago
surrendered them selves to the practice of black magic and became malevolent witches under the tutelage of Cassandra,
another ancient rival of Xanthia. Aoife and Scathag chose to set aside their differences during the times of the Gathering
and felt the shared power of the ancient "Rebecca of Mycenae" would give them the strength they needed. But what they
truly wanted was the power of the Stone of Methuselah and this was another thing Xanthia wouldn't surrender to the two
witches.
Gentle Xanthia is well known for her sword skills and when it comes to fighting ancient Immortals such as herself, she is
utterly diabolical, showing a dark side of herself paralleling Kellistra's in power and fierceness. Aoife used the power of
the "voice", Scathag the power of illusion-casting. That wasn't enough. An ancient Immortal like her can resist such tricks.
Both women fell by her sword on the outskirts of Stonehenge and it seemed the place itself augmented Xanthia's power
and will.

By a fortunate occurence, Nuha Kalash was living in Liverpool when she was challenged by Sobani Samata, decidedly
determined to see the fina ldays of the Gathering. However, Nuha is as skilled a swordfighter as Sobani demonstrated and
the woman who was hired by the Hellfire Club to take out at least one member of the SIS soon was sent to join her
departed soulmates of the Chand sisterhood. In later days, Nuha was going to be contacted by the SIS for informations
regarding the fate of the Chand and for help against the Hellfire Club. Nuha who had once confronted hte SIS about hte
occupation of her homeland by hte British Empire chose to let go of their past differences and help as she could.
From the Chronicle of Nuha Kalash

Evangeline Black was good at picking on defenceless Immortals but she amounted to nothing in front of Xanthia of Melitus'
superior skills. When she saw how Aldrich Monk'sz master plan backfired she tried to take the reins of the Club'zs Inner
Cirlce and have enryone get out of London, but that was too late. Master tactician Richeard of Mercia mounted a co-joined
attack against the Cardinal Lords and after centuries of mutual hatred, it was the end for the Hellfire Club.
Theobald Cleaver and Dominic Piper were confronted by Eadwulf and Raymond d'Amboise while Nuha Kalsh confronted
Sernea whom she once knew British India era as a snubbish, remorseless killer who viewed the locals with disdain and
contempt. And finally the once blood-brothers went at it like roaring lions, each hungry for hte other's Quickening.
Richeard of Mercia prevailed as he always did, especially with his quarry only choosing to pick of weaker Immortals.

Wow, good job with the latest updates, my friend.
So, the cold war between the SIS and the Hellfire Club ended in December 2018. With casualties on both sides, as was inevitable. And wasn't it just like Monk to hire others to do his dirty work?
Nice to see the normally serene Xanthia still has a vicious bite....
Richeard finally settles a very old score with his once-blood brother and most likely lays some things to rest.

You also may have noticed the missing two positions in the Sacred Order have been filled.

Yes, i did notice you'd filled those to slots! Lol
Thanks for reminding me. I had intended to mention it but forgot because i was engrossed in the SIS/Hellfire Club conflict you resolved.
Good choices for those two places.

Thank you Dubiousbystander. Though I changed things a little.

[Apollo1]

Okay, my friend, you changed the fates of Amanda and Duncan MacLeod? Methinks you have something up your sleeve....! Lol
Could the Slaughterous Swords and the Sacred Order be linked somehow? Why else would you suddenly resurrect the thought-dead Duncan, change the fate of Amanda, re-unite Duncan with Connor and hint that the Immortal family, including Joe Dawson, is investigating the recent massacre of Immortal players of the Game.

On a side note, not sad to see Wolfe stay dead. Sad about Swenja and Lootje though...

Ambrose Bierce wanted to investigate the life of Alyssa Bautista and looked forward to speak to her. The biographer of Immortals knew how to be careful before approaching those of his kind knowing few of them would take well discussing their past lives with a possible opponents in the Game. In the last one hundred years, Ambrose interviewed quite famous names : Grayson, Amanda, Connor MacLeod, Katherine of Samothrace, the impostor posing as Methos, Victor Hesse and his underage lover Ingrid Baran, the SIS group, Kyra of Sparta. The biographies he wrote were disguises as fairy tales and published as works of fiction with the permission of the interviewees. Because some Immortals crave recognition and leaving a trace of their existence on Earth and some of them could be quite egotistical people. Even so, Ambrose was careful when approaching of them, one never knows, swords are quickly drawn in the Game.
Harry Houdini was one of his most famous stories, and when he heard Houdini killed Alyssa Bautista, he sought to investigate the matter. Why would the master escapist kill a player of the Game who took out child molesters ? To our surprise, Alyssa was found to be alive and well, Harry didn’t kill her after all. Alyssa’s Field Watcher must have thought her killed by the magician, the Quickening belonged to another Immortal who hunted down both Immortals at that time.
Azmbrose Bierce is now spending his time with Alyssa, writing on the stories of the aging Immortal woman living in the body of a young teenaged girl.

Watcher Bureau, Southeast Asia

From the Tribunal :

Ambrose Bierce befriended immortal named Kay Murdstone who informed him of his immortality. We do not know why she chose to do so or when Bierce became an immortal. In 1913, Bierce traveled to Mexico to gain a firsthand perspective on that country's ongoing revolution. While traveling with rebel troops, the elderly writer disappeared without a trace. Another immortal, Gabriela de Sevedra helped him going underground, she had been one of his proteges in litterary circles. A funny fact about him is one of the aliases taken by "B. Traven" : Ret Maru. Et Maru is an alias used by Methos according to the Chronicle written by "Adam Pierson". Was Pierson yanking our chains or was there a connection between the ROG and Bierce ?

In one of his last letters, Bierce wrote the following to his niece, Lora:
"Good-bye if you hear of my being stood up against a Mexican stone wall and shot to rags please know that I think that a pretty good way to depart this life. It beats old age, disease, or falling down the cellar stairs. To be a Gringo in Mexico ah, that is euthanasia!"

Perfect last word from a newbie immortal

When Saifiyah Khan challenged Awiti, Awiti asked Safiyah were it was written in the Quran that "there can be only one".Safiyah answered that Allah had been guiding her sword through the centuries and that playing the Game was the only thing that gave sense to their Immortal lives. Awiti felt that this was a sad manner to live one's life, immortal or mortal where there are so many things to live by, but Safiyah remained unfazed and attacked the Immortal poet. She had been killing Immortals for nearly eight hundred years and always did the will of her chosen God who gave her one purpose in life : to hunt Immortals and take their power so one day she may join the Prophet in the paradise of Allah. "My success is only by Allah the merciful" she often says "he who guides me thought the straiight path". Curiously Safiyah chose to spare Awiti’s life after this debate. Did Awiti touch Safiya’s heart in some way ?

I didn't like the plot where Bridget kills Victor and then Ingrid doesn't have her revenge against the woman, getting killed too.
I thought best to let them live "happily ever after" since the Final Gathering isn't likely to happen.

[Apollo1]

I like the idea of the MacLeod family working with the Ravenwood group on a mission. I'd love to a fly on the wall to see the dynamic between Duncan MacLeod and Deoneces; the romantic idealistic Scotsman and the ancient, pragmatic short-tempered Spartan. Not to mention the fact that the Highlander had a brief fling with Kyra! Lol
Also, Amanda and the Crimson Butterfly? Oh yes!

Six years after her First Death, Annie Devlin was part of the Irish expatriates living in New-York with her teacher, Hugh
O'Neil, the man who taught her to hate the English who had been opressing the Irish people for centuries. Hugh became
her mentor, teaching her to use the infamous "Devlin Trick" which made her famous for outmaneuvering male opponents
during a fight. In 1887 Annie sought to purchase guns to send to Ireland, helping the cause of local Irish rebels, and met
Immortal Nicholas Hilliard, a cunning British weapons smuggler known for allying himself with Hiugh O'Neil in the past.
Hilliard was ready to talk business with the red head but he was asking too high a price for his contraband.
Hugh O'Neil posed as a bard and poet, gathering funds from the Irish Expatriate Society of Manhattan and Annie
couldn't condone the behavior of a man ready to sell the Irish rebels to the police : his contraband was found by a police
investigation, O'Neil was arrested, pending deportation, while Hilliard discreetly attempted to board ship, only to be
met by Annie's angry sword. "We execute traitors, in Ireland, don't you know" were the last words he heard before his
head fell on the ground.

In 1916, Annie Devlin promised Duncan MacLeod a beautiful war against the English, MacLeod denied his former lover
and left her to her war, wanting no part in it after Darius taught him the futility of warfare. Annie Devlinb took part in the
Eastern Rising, siding with leader Patrick Pearse, manipulating bold young Irishmen into rising against the British. All
they needed, she felt, was to be killed, so their death would inspire future generations into fighting the good fight against
the English oppressor. To quote WB Yeats, "a terrible beauty was born".
The Irish Republican Brotherhood wanted to proclaim the Irish Republic and make their voice heard. Pearse put a letter in
the newspaper saying the British were going to disarm the Irish Volunteers, naturally the Volunteers went to the fight and war
was on.
More Irish blood was shed. Volunteer leader Eoin MacNeill issued a countermand in a bid to halt the Rising, ultimately lowering
the numbers of dead. Annie felt no shame. In war, sacrifices must be made and she made the decision with a cold heart, her
companion being as determined as she was. Patrick Pearse may have been a great leader of men, but all leaders have a
woman beside them, whispering terrible things in their ears.
During the Rising, atrocities were committed on both sides, Irish civilians were murdered by a battalion led by Immortal
Aubert Cavalier, a man who led centuries of warfare against Irish rebels, finally facing the raging sword of Annie Devlin.
During the Easter Rising, Annie led an auxiliary paramilitary organisation named Cumann na mBan "The Irishwomen's
Council« , fighting the British alongside the Irish Republican Brotherhood. Annie herself carried out sniper attacks on
British troops, and was confronted by Cavalier.
Annie got her wish, the Easter Rising provoked a decades long war between the IRA and the British and another British
Immortal fell to her sword. After Pearse’s surrender to the British, followed by his trial and execution, her hate grew with
even more vigor.

Reporting the death of Piers Jacobs by the furious blade of Annie Devlin in Belfest the same day that will go down in
history as Bloody Sunday as our troops tried to tame those Irish rebels. Helen Bondeville and Allegra Chambers will no
doubt mourn the passing of their colleague of the SIS as well as a great friend and occasional lover. He was a serious man
with an agenda but never forgot that to survive as an Immortal you need to live your life fully. He put as much care in
his preparations for his missions as he put in forging alliances with other Immortals or bond with the SIS group. And as
far as the Game was concerned, he took it seriously and trained constantly, his fatal flaw being he expected the same
fair-play from his opponents. Unfortunately, Annie Devlin isn’t fair-play : she used her trick of the sword to defeat Piers
and took him out in mere minutes while Jabs’ men shot 28 innocent civlians, to our collective shame as British citizens.

Before his first death defending Limerick against the forces of Guillaume II, king of England, Hugh O'Neil had been a
firm defender of Ireland's independence. Which he remained during three hundred years, shedding English blood and
killing many innocent people in the cross-fire. Its because of Hugh O'Neil that Ireland was plagued with immortals such
as Annie Devlin and Liam O'Rourke.
After nearly two hundred and fifty years of fighting for such "the cause", Hugh O'Neil grew tired of the endless
bloodshed and began making up for his actions, becoming more and more a defender of peace, trying to build a bridge
between Ireland and England, and most notably, between the Catholics and Protestants of Ireland. I suspect the horrors
of two world wars played a part in this sudden change of heart. Everyone change, look at Kage.
Today, Hugh O'Neil lost his head to Chang who wanted his head just for the sake of the Game. I am grieving for Hugh
and hope that he now found the peace he had been seeking for the past fifty years, as he had been relentlessly pursued
by the ghosts of his victims.

Drew Gallagher didn't want to pay his weekly fee to the Shamrocks in the gang-infested New-York of 1874, and that's
what got him killed by the Shamrocks. When he woke up in Noonan's house, he discovered a harsher life was waiting for
him and that he would need more than accountant and verbal skills to fend for himself in the Game. Drew took Noonan's
lessons at heart and trained for the day he would have to face another one of his kind with his sword. Meanwhile, he
stayed out of the Game and lived quiet, unassuming lives in backwater cities of the American Midwest, changing
identities every two decades. When Annie Devlin asked for his help in her war against the British Empire, Gallagher
denied her a bank loan and went so far as to meddling in her business by disclosing her current whereabouts to the FBI.
He paid the ultimate price for his bravery.

Annie Devlin's life was joined the Cause of Ireland's freedom from the oppression of the English. Right or wrong, she
fought like a devil to free her homeland, but did it at the cost of innocent lives. Hundreds of mortals died because of her
schemes, and last week was one time too many : a bomb in Belfast caused the death of twelve innocent people, among
them immortal Steven Keane and his mortal wife Bernadette who were visiting the Ulster. Bernadette's life was
destroyed, leaving a ravaged Keane searching for the guilty part. He found the murderer in the person of Annie Devlin, a
woman out of time, to whom he reminded that war had been over for a long time, a lesson imparted to him in 1996 by a
Scot, Duncan MacLeod. Revenge resolves nothing, Keane knew, but he also couldn't let Annie kill more innocent, destroy
more lives. Keane didn't kill Annie for the sake of revenge, he killed her to prevent more harm from her.

Thanks, Gardner, my friend. I'm doing much better. Being a full-time carer for my dad has helped me move on somewhat and also the realisation that while my mum's passing was painful, i'm also relieved that she didn't suffer for years as some do with what my mum had. So, i'm now looking forward and not dwelling on what can't be changed.
Plus, i have so many good memories that i'm clinging to...

Good to see you posting again as well. Kinda wondering how you were getting on with this Gathering initiated by the plottings of the Sacred Order. Look forward to what's coming next.

Loved the Annie Devlin chronicle.

I wonder who is that mysterious killer, bodies have been piling up on the four corners of hte world for the past two decades now.

Hmm….methinks Karolina Olin.
How long, though, until somebody figures it out? Or is everyone too distracted with everything else that's going on to put two and two together...?

Apollo, do you agree with all the characters deletions I did ? Sometimes a little pruning is always good when you want to tend the garden that are the Watcher's Chronicles...
Still undecided about the Afar women and Himba Clan, any idea for those Immortals ?

From the Records of the Tribunal :

Amidst all the recent carnage, sound research was done to find the guilty part behind the rash of kills of Immortals with unidentified perpetrators for the 2000's and 2010's. Cross-refernecing work is due to our apt Watcher historians and also Immortals itnerviewed by Kyra nad Deonaces of Sparta : Sanjiv Gupta, Bebe Kenyatta, Juanita Vasquez, all close associates of Ravenwood.

Laurent Kaliganshe has been running from the Game by hiding in some of the most dangerous places in the world as a mines worker. He hasn’t done anything else in sixty years of Immortality. An Immortal prone to hide behind many walls, he is an insecure mouse in fear of the wildcat prawning for prey, so his instincts just tell him to hide and cower in the only familiar environment he feels safe in. May 2013 saw his untimely disappearance after a mineshaft collapse, but we don’t believe him dead, his body wasn’t found among the victims. We expect him to resurface soon.

Investigations on a series of brutal slayings in the past sixty years in countries of Africa known for theri mining industries point to the culprit being Laurent Kaliganshe, aka the Mole. It seems the “frightened mole” who hides in the hills is also very good at hiding his predatory nature, targeting Immortals living in vicinity of iron, diamond or gold mines all across the African subcontinent, who do not suspect him to be a killer and come after him, expecting an easy kill, only to become the hunted. In this, his methods parallel the M.O of Kenneth the Saxon boy or Aletha the bag lady from the streets of New-York, all three are Immortals who hide in plain sight and strike when lest expected to.

I never object to a little pruning! Lol

As for the Clans; i do think too many clans of Immortals is a little unrealistic. Immortals are a rare breed, would there really be so many of these clans, even in Africa?
