  • Just an update, my friend. Christmas holidays and a faulty PC have prevented me posting for a little while, but with any luck everything should be hunky dory in the next week (fingers crossed!)

    Cheers

            • Thanks for this update, my friend, finally i'll be able to do a comprehensive update and revision on my old Immortals War chronicles and sort out the mess. Much appreciated.

              Now I've got my PC sorted out (at last!) i'll be able to get those names for you and i'll continue the story of the SIS/Hellfire Club.

              Cheers

              • I am tempted to rewrite the War's timeline so everything happens in 2012. Over only one year. I erased a lot of deaths stories because the story was too messy and comùplicated : the Battle of London, the Battle of Paris, the Battle of Rio, the war in the Middle East and Africa and the destruction of St. Christopher for instance.

                One slight adjustement :
                Victor :
                18.11.2011 Kamir Sanjiv Gupta
                24.11.2011 Kajira Bedi Kainath Bedi
                30.11.2011 Kainath Bedi Sanjiv Gupta

                In the story those events happen one year later. For a better balance in the numbers of deaths in 2011 and 2012
                And correcting one editing mistake :

                • Yeah, i think the current revision you've made is pretty much okay. I don't think there's really any need to do a third pass. What you've currently done is okay by me.

                  • I like that fans are still working on creating Watcher Chronicles for characters who got a brief mention or screen time. One of the things that I noticed with the fan fiction writers has been that they often incorporate characters from the actors own iconography. For example...Peter Wingfield has also played doctors on Queen of Swords and on Holby City. On both shows he also worked with other Highlander alumni. The same could be said about both Tracy Scoggins and Claudia Christian when they worked together on Babylon 5. Each additional role and character can be used by fan fiction writers to add more depth to their immortals background chronicle. It also allows the chronicle writer to add photos to the chronicle too. One of the real life photos that inspired several writers was a picture Paul Johansson posted on his website of himself with Adrian Paul taken at Cannes. He also posted photos of himself with Peter Wingfield when they worked together. So...scour the biographies and filmographies of the actors who played the characters. If they crossed paths with another Highlander actor or a real life famous person...you can use that in creating your chronicles. Good luck.

                      • Back at last, Gardner!

                        And I've finally got 6 names for you, females from the Middle East:

                        5th century BC: Pheretima of Pasergadae - Achaemenid female
                        3rd century BC: Barsine of Asaak - Parthian female
                        3rd century AD: Izdihar of Araba (Kingdom of Araba)
                        9th century AD: Leila of Samarra - Kurdish female
                        12th century AD: Talayeh Chenal of Galilee - French-Arab female

                        I'll have 6 males for you next.

                        Cheers

                          • Greetings, Gardner!
                            Thanks for pointing out my mistake with the female Immortals! Lol
                            There are only 5, sorry about that! I'll add the extra female to the 6 males when i post them.
                            As for the French-Arab, she's actually from the 12th century (which I've corrected btw), because during the time the Kingdom of Jerusalem was ruled by the Crusaders from 1099 to 1187, a number of them took local wives or mistresses, and Muslims did for a time live under the rule of their Christian conquerors there. Children were born of these unions.

                            Cheers

                            • Thank you for the information Apollo; but I found her background story. 12th century or 13th doesn't make much difference. French crusaders ruled the Kingdom of Jersualem up until the end of the 13th century. No problem at all.
                              The four other names allowed me to find new great characters !

                                Here's that missing female name you wanted:

                                Hekate of Antioch - Greek Orthodox Christian

                                And the six male names from the Middle East:

                                Boaz of Hebron - Kingdom of Judah
                                Karif of Nabataea - Nabataean Kingdom
                                Volkan Salbik - Seljuk Turk
                                Ekmel of Canik (Beyliks of Canik)
                                Galien of Adrianople - Latin Empire
                                Andronik of Armenia (Emirate of Armenia)

                                Also, could you post the active and inactive Immortals of Ireland, Scandinavia and the Balkans,

                                Cheers

                                    The encounter of Jason Samaris and Olympe Dimitrakos with the band of roving headhunting migrant children who have been active since the beginning of the migrant crisis ended with the two Immortals taking out the band’s ringleaders, two Middle Eastern Immortals using the children as pawns in the Game as they have been doing for centuries.
                                    Now the children are free to go where they please. Jason and Olympe decided to train the kids themselves adopting them as their own little family, but those are not innocent children anymore, they had a taste of the Quickening and a strange hunger animate them. A hunger for more. It will take a lot of work and efforts from the Greek couple to curb the pack’s violent tendencies, lest they become as dangerous players of the Game as the Coyoteros of Mexico.

                                    Lang Quing, or Wendy Lee, as she's known these days, is one of Henry of Kent's most successful students. Born in China, she has spent little time there; inspired by her teacher's tales of the wider world, Lang Quing has lived in most of the big cities in her three centuries on this earth: London, Paris, Madrid, Rome, New York. These days, it is San Francisco's Chinatown, as owner of Wendy Lee's Arts & Crafts, where she indulges her passion for art, in particular, her expertise at painting landscapes of most of the places she has seen. Don't let her small frame and beauty fool you, for Lang Quing is a well-trained student of one of the greatest swords of the Immortal world: Henry of Kent, grandmaster of headhunter-slayers. And like her teacher and mentor, the Little Dragon has slain a few headhunters in her time and i'm sure if any others cross her path, they will meet the same fate.

                                    Long may she live.

                                    From the Chronicle of Lang Quing

                                    Lang Quing was in tears when Henry of Kent announced her the demise of Guo Jing at the sword of Frank Bascombr. An immortal of unknown origins, Guo was barely a bleep on Watcher scope; never playing the Game, seldom meeting other imortals and living in obscurity until she was found and killed by Bascombe.
                                    She was an opportunity for a kill, as far as the Boer was concerned, but to Lang she was a good friend, albeit a poor student in swordmanship. Henry of Kent offered Kang to track down Bascombe but she would hear none of it : she wanted to nail the bastard herself, as she put it. Henry gave her the coordinates of the killer and acompanied her to the airport, giving her moral strenght. Two days later, after scoping out Cincinnati, Lang found Bascombe and challenged him to a fair fight. Bascombe never played fair, but Lang saw through his tricks and easly overpowered the arrogant Boer who fell to his knees, muttering 'finish it, Chinese whore'. 'The whore has a name, it's Lang Quing !' she yelled before sending Bascombe's rotten soul to the deepest pits of hell. Guop Jing was avenged and another headhunter has been removed from the active roster of immortals.

With Godebert’s death against Richeard of Mercia that makes a lot of conflict in London during that particular week with everyone under constant surveillance by security teams all across London.
                                    It is insanity for immortals to play the Game in a city like London.

                                    21 January 2013

                                    One year after the Immortals War, after the dust has cleared and the dramatic takeover of the Watchers by Ravenwood, a census was made on the current population of immortals, worldwde, made of active immortals and inactive immortals (read : living on Holy Grounds).

                                    Ireland always had a complicated history with its northern portion being part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ulster while the southern portion is part of Western Europe. It was decided to give it a particular status in the Northern part of Europe. Ever since the death of Annie Devlin, the Irish immortals have been livign in relative peace and now that the Immortals War is over, they no longer need to be afraid of the coming Gathering. Rasheed Awuja and Dela-O-Kande Umaru moved out of New-York to join hte Nigerian community of Dublin. Paddy Bell, a young immortal, is a webmaster; political satirist, film-maker, having founded the Laughing Horse Productions. Etain fo the Second Look is in Belfast. Lang Quing left San Francisco and settled in Dublin where Father Liam Riley also lives, bringing modern views of the world to the Catholic youth. Seamus of Athlone rea-appared in Limerick.

                                    This morning, Etain of the Second Look rose up early and did her morning routine before freezing like a deerr caught in headlight, looking like she sensed the presence of another Immortal. She then quickly took her shoes, her purse and jumped out of her window before her flat suddenly exploded. Investigation by the firemen later concluded to a gaz leak.
                                    Etain rushed to the nearest store for clothing and vanishedl, losing me in the crowd. I lost her trace, but I suppose she took the first train at the station, looking like she was running from something... or someone.
                                    Did her clairvoyance abilities warn her of a gaz leak in her flat, or of the presence of a headhunter ?
                                    I hooked on the Watchers Grapevine to find out about any headhunters in town, but there were none.
                                    Etain took a Greyhound for New-York, trying apparently to put as much distance between herself and Ohio as possible. I do not know what went through her head, but I cannot follow her : my baby is due next week, not the right time for my Immortal to grow legs.

                                    I would like to request re-assignment with your kind permission, Sir, in the hope that Etain of the Second look will be safe in New-York.

                                    Cordially, Janie

                                    The Celtic tradition has been an oral one. Poems, songs, stories were not written down but told from father to son, and Teacher to student. Seamus is a walking repository of Celtic music and stories. I shudder to think of all that would be lost if he ever loses his head.
                                    I pray every day that he will begin to set down all that he knows. But that seems as likely as the ocean turning purple.
                                    Right now the man is completely smitten with Linnett’s new receptionist Moira. Maureen Butler, my boss and Seamus’s former watcher, told me she was able to get many fine stories by buying him a pint or two and showing a bit of leg. When I said I don’t think that would work in my case, she said a real Watcher would do whatever was necessary to fulfill his oath.
                                    At first I thought she was joking but when she showed up a week later at my apartment with a wig and a dress I was not laughing. I told her she was absolutely daft that there is no way the man would think I was a woman!
                                    But she said that by 10 pm the man is so blind drunk that he can barely recognize himself in the mirror.
                                    Well at 10 sharp I entered the pub all tarted up, Thank God no one recognized me, and sat a seat down from him. I no sooner had set my fanny on the stool when he started to chat me up. We talked for about 2 hours and I got some real good stories about the court of Brian Boru and he recited some love poetry in Gaelic. I had a tape recorder in my purse so I got down every word. It wasn’t till the end that he started getting grabby but I managed to hold him off. Maureen says that I did way better than she ever had and she has my outfit all picked out for next week.
                                    Dear God I need a transfer !

Mortal ones. Evil must be punished at all cost.' Ceirdwyn left Hammer on his own, wishing him luck. But reminded Hammer to not harm any other innocent immortals in Scandinavia, or she would have to take actions against him. To which Hammer laughed 'no immortal is innocent !'

                                    The Watcher Chronicle of Genna Jorgensen shows a Scandinavian woman best knows for spending her immortality in public libraries, conventes, monasteries and classrooms rather than on battelfields, playing the Game and killing those of her kinds. 'The pen is sharper than the sword' hasd been her motto for seven hundred years. A mouse hiding behind wall.
                                    However, to our surprise, extended research tend to prove that the deaths of a number of immortals originally attributed to Alex Raven, Katherine of Samothrace and Betsy Mitchell were actually her own kills. Three other missing immortals from the Scandinavian databases were found to have been killed by Genna. The shy mouse did have teeth after all.

                                    Greetings Marc,

                                    I need to have a new Watcher assigned to Genna Jorgensen. While Amelia has done a very good job on her first assignment unfortunately she has failed to pass Jorgensen’s class. When she first arrived I had hoped that she would become Jorgensen’s new TA but her math skills are abysmal. She has managed to fail Jorgenson’s class for the second time and I don’t want to risk Jorgensen’s suspicions by having her sign up again. So I have no choice but to request a new watcher. With the latest graduating class coming out of Geneva I am hoping there is someone in it with a background in mathematics. Genna is the perfect first assignment for someone fresh out of the academy.

                                    Report on the Six of Vinland
                                    15.05.2000

                                    The Vikings, like other sea-rovers, are not as romantic as nineteenth-century fiction would make them out to be; neither are they exclusively the blood-thirsty ravishers depicted in the chronicles of the monks of England and Ireland. They may not have worn horned helmets,
                                    but they did sail ships carved with dragons' heads and they ventured far out into the western sea in search of new lands and adventure. In about 1000 AD, Leif Eriksson (son of Erik the Red) explored the new continent, acompanied by immortals Ejnar Kanwulfsson and Sygin Fenrisdottir, the latter being later cross-referenced as Kellistra, student of the fabled Four Horsemen. For the next ten years a number of voyages were made from Greenland to the new land, which the Norselmen called "Vinland" because of the profusion of grapes that grew there. Sygin and Kanwulf settled there and created a colony that flourished, adopted several orphaned Viking children they named after Gods of Norse mythology : Eir, Freya, Thor, Heimdall, Kvasir and Balder.
                                    More than one century went on before the prophecy of six immortal Vikings born from Vinland would come true. Kanwulf and Sygin's clan enlarged itself and then came the time for her brethen to leave the paradise for a much harsher world. The six children she adopted and who all turned out to be immortals spent decades discovering the North-Amercian continent before
                                    leaving for the land of their ancestors toward the beginning of the 12th century.
                                    The Vinland immortals had originally decided to stay in the New World when their mortal comrades all returned to Greenland and Iceland because they were disgusted when the Vikings converted to Christianity. This happened just before the year 1000 AD and created much controversy. What happened is, some of the Vikings had converted; most had not; then some of them appealed for judgement to a highly respected thane, and he mulled over the question for about a year and then announced that the entire Viking nation ought to convert en masse. His opinion had the force of law and the pagan Vikings, much to their disgust, were obliged
                                    to comply. This legal judgement led ultimately to the conversion of all Norsemen to Christianity . The Six of Vinland, though, rejected the whole business and washed their hands of their brethren in disgust. They still protect each other and each other's families and each New Year's eve they gather with their families and immortal students to remember legends of times past when all of them were heroes.

                                    Following, are reports on each of the Six of Vinland, who were first identified in London during the infamous Hunt for Jack the Ripper (File#57458-1899).

                                    Eir : in mythology, Goddess of healing
                                    Eir ("help" or "mercy" in Old Norse) is, in Norse mythology, a goddess of the Æsir who is called 'best of physicians' in the Edda. Eir is also counted among the Valkyries, connecting her to the ability to 'choose the slain' and awaken the dead. As a master physician, Eir is a patroness of health-care workers. She is called upon by modern Healers not only for physical healing, but also for mental, emotional and spiritual healing. It is said that Eir would bestow healing upon all women who sought her out, and she taught only women her secret arts. Accordingly, only women could learn the art of healing in
                                    Scandinavia.

                                    Eir Kanwulfdottir, true to her namesake, has been a healer and doctor for the past thousand years, recorded since 1889 as a succesful doctor and physiotherapist in Copenhagen in recent times. Known for her kindness and the quotes from movies she puts at every turn of a conversation, she is known for her joie de vivre and her qualities of heart. But gentle Eir has her bite too and more than one missing immortal from our chronicles may have fallen to Eir’s sword.

                                    Freya : in mythology, Goddess of fertility, wealth, love, beauty, magic, prophecy, war, battle, and death
                                    While there are some sources suggesting that Freyja was called on to bring fruitfulness to fields or wombs, in the Eddas, she was portrayed as a goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. Freyja is described as the fairest of all goddesses, and people prayed to her for happiness in love. Freyja was also associated with war, battle, death, magic, prophecy, and wealth. She is cited as receiving half of the dead lost in battle in her hall Fólkvangr, whereas Odin would receive the other half at Valhalla.
                                    In Heimskringla, Freyja is also presented as a mythological Princess of Sweden. Her father Njörðr is seen as the second mythological King of Sweden, and her brother Freyr is the third. Freyr and Freyja's mother is Njörðr's sister (who is has been often linked to the
                                    ancient Germanic goddess Nerthus, as it is a custom of the Vanir and allowed by their laws.

                                    A doctor and artist like her sister (Eir is a potter, she is a painter), Freya is a succesful midwife, well-liked by the mortal community. Once a fearsome headhuntress and hired killer, Freya laid down her sword when she saw the carnage mankind inflicted upon itself : two world wars took a toll on her blood lust and she decided to work for the common good. What made her change her mind is seeing the 50 million native americans massacred on the North American continent over four centuries by the Spanish, the Portugese, the English, adding to this the slaves imported from the African continent. After conversations with her brothers and sister, she finally changed her ways and tried to heal the poor and suffering she met.

                                    The nuns in this place call Kati 'the child of God', the 'miracle child', because she hasn't been agin the the past fifteen years since she settled with them. She already proved them that she didn't need any scolding or being treated like a child; they realised an adult was locked in the body of a twelve years old.
                                    She told her friends that there were more like her, beings who never age, of all physical appearance and that someday, one would come after her with a sword. Although accepting her stories as the wild fantasies of a self-deluded child, the nuns have decided to offer her protection and have been checking any person coming to the church with a long coat, menacing demeanor and a sword in his or her had.
                                    It is a rare thing to see such level of integration for an immortal. Miracles do happen, sometimes.

                                    Inconclusive fight against Patrocles

                                    She had such fire in her, for over fifteen hundred years.
                                    But I think that when her Nicolas died in 1998, the passion that had kept Katherine Sutherland afire for so long guttered to the barest spark. Ekaterini and Nick Sutherland were very different in personality but at the same time just right for each other : the warrior from Samothrace and the Chicago cop, one full of energy and thirst for battle, the other passionate and collected. Ekaterini loved the sound of battles, Nick longed for the family immortality couldn't give him. When they decided to have a child together, they knew the risk that could come with it.
                                    Alas, she traded the father for the son. Nick died within days of his son's birth. And poor Katie . . . her Nick was dead, her world was dead. And yet she found the strength to love her baby, though he must have reminded her of nothing but loss. The rest of us tried to help - Ceirdwyn was there and stayed with Katie for months after - but to no avail. K also visited, but Katie knows how badly K and I get along and won't give me any details of her comings and goings, damn her. Katie's been hiding on holy ground ever since, anyway. A strange fate for warlike Ekaterini - skulking in a Californian wicca shrine, mourning her Nick, living in the past. Raising the child as best as she could, yes. And a shrine's a good place for a child to spend his infancy, to be sure. Traditional. But an unhealthy way for Katie - of all the people! - to stick her head in the sand. Too many accidents happen when we have our guard down. Holy ground isn't that safe anymore.
                                    Then bin Laden blew up the the WTC (may the Eurynides chew his entrails for one thousand years !) The tragedy must have hit Katie where she lived. She says she packed a first-aid kit, dug out her paramedic license, got out of her shrine and went on a 12-hour cross-country drive to New York. Couldn't help herself. She spent two weeks at Ground Zero digging, and now she's snapped out of it, good girl - she resettled in New York and got back in the Game.
                                    Adam is now three years old, a beautiful healthy little boy who looks exactly like Nick and already show the wits and vitality of both his mother and father.

                                    It amuses me to write this small addendum to the Ekaterini Chronicles. The Watchers will never read it, of course, or know the story they cannot read between the lines. They don't even know there's another story than theirs . . . though some of them may suspect. Never mind. I'll have my little joke and they'll keep getting it wrong - and that, of course, is the way I want it to be.

                                    Archelaus and Thanos of Athens hit it off in 2004 and never left each other since. They celebrated the end of St. Paul's cathedral in London in 2011 right in the middle of the Immortals War, a project Archelaus started in 1996 but had to quit a few years later when people noticed he didn't seem to age. Archelaus didn't belive in cosmetics like in the previous century so he got out of London in 2004 and met Thanos in Athens during Summer's Olympics.
                                    They met several of their kind during the competitions, includign several players of the Game, but a truce had been decided for the duration of the event.Beside, Thanos was in charge of security and the main enforcer of the truce.

                                    Thanos has been one of the major forces behind Athens winning the 2004 Summer Games. These last few months has been hurridly finishing various venues that will be needed when the Games start. His pride that the games are back in Greece is visible. I feel confident that all the festivities will go off without a hitch. Because I have seen how he has stressed over every single detail.

                                    That old house of his in on the outskirts of Cornwall has been under construction for he last 800 years. It has to be the longest Do-It- Yourself in history. No sooner has he finished one building project is complete, he is already planning the next. Or thinking about the renovations on a building he has just completed. Nothing brings him as much joy and excitement as building. He never ceases, always excited to try new variations of designs and styles or incorporate new techniques or materials.
                                    And all his buildings are like his babies, for example St. Paul’s Cathedral, he was involved in the construction of all five of the incarnations of the building. He designed the fourth St. Paul’s under William the Conqueror that was destroyed in the Great Fire. But when he heard that they were going to rebuild he couldn’t help himself, he managed to get hired on as an assistant to Christopher Wren.

                                    For nearly five centuries, Hilaria Quintero, known as The Harlequin, made her reputation among those Immortals who exist in the grey area that straddles light and dark, although Quintero was considered more dark than light; her bouts of psychosis often leading to murder or mayhem, satisfying a craving nurtured by her mentor and lover, Coronus of Persia, who exploited her trauma after her painful
                                    First Death to mould her into a dark image of himself. She made use of the skills she learned over the centuries to carve out a career as a "fixer" and clashed often with those Immortals, mostly female, in a similar line of work. Away from her career, Hilaria relaxed by satisfying her sexual need to "break-in" young teenage boys. If she couldn't seduce them, she would pay those who offered such services to provide her with one of "her boys.“ Her first encounter with one of the students of Cleophon of Athens almost saw her lose her head, when she clashed with Frankie Drummond in San Francisco in 1934 while on an assignment to kill a friend of the Crimson Butterfly. The Harlequin barely escaped alive.

                                    On March 19th 1755, there was a snowslide in the Piedmont near the town of Demonte in the Stura valley. All inhabitants were indoors at this time except for one Joseph Rochia and his young son. Rochia snatched up the boy and fled ... then fell fainting, as his house and his neighbor's house vanished completely under the snow, burying 22 persons altogether. Among them were Joseph's wife, and his two sisters-in-law. Five days later, Rochia went out with his son and two of his brothers; they tried to determine where, under the snow, was the site of his house. By the 24th of April he had still not found even his house, let alone his loved ones; on that evening, finally, he gave up.

                                    His wife's mother (a gypsy woman named Kudra Ivanova, with the reputation of being somewhat of a witch) dreamed that night that her daughters lived, and were calling for her help. The next day she sent her husband out, to persuade Rochia to go on and join him at his work. Guided by the goodwife's dream, they found the house and gained entrance, only to discover the whole building empty. Hearing a voice faintly calling, they began searching for the stable which was not far from the house, and in it they discovered Rochia's wife, Mariotta, and his wife' sisters, Emily and Juliet, who had been buried under the snow for five weeks altogether. All those others trapped with them, had sickened and died, and the women said they had almost perished of the cold-dripping of snow-water down upon them, as they lay entombed under the snowslide.

                                    The Rochia women returned with Joseph to Demonte and stayed with him, living contentedly in their isolated alpine valley. Their survival was a local legend, but nothing more . . . until Joseph, his friends and neighborhood noticed a strange thing: young Juliet didn't seem to be growing up. Her girlhood friends married and began their own families, but not the little girl. She remained the same. The legend grew. Joseph and Mariotta Rochia took to keeping Juliet out of sight, and eventually the rumors faded; then fresh rumors started, for the people around noticed now that Emily and Mariotta remained as youthful as they had before the avalanche.

                                    And yet almost ten years had already passed, and peasant women age quickly in the harsh mountain climate. Joseph grew grey-haired and wrinkled. With every passing year, his women drew more notice. Finally he was forced to take them and settle in Switzerland where they lived as farmers for almost a decade.

                                    By then they had come to the attention of the Watchers, and were under surveillance. Joseph called his wife "daughter" and invented a tale of a dead son-in-law, little Juliet's father. Still more years passed. Joseph called himself Juliet's great-grandfather, and then her great-great-grandfather. The family moved from town to town. At long last, Joseph died - he was then more than a hundred years old, but his womenfolk were still the rosy-cheeked youthful creatures they had been before the avalanche. They buried him, changed their names . . and the three immortals began to wander in earnest.

                                    Reuniting with Cassandra, on/off romance

                                    Virgil was known as "Virgil the Magician" in Europe through the Dark Ages, as a magician and poet. He met his first death one century after the birth of Christ and was taken in by legendary Cassandra who taught him to survive by his witts and intelligence and to use persuasion as means to defeat opponents in the Game.
                                    Virgil settled in Gloucestershire during the 13th century where he mentored Roger Bacon, the philosopher who advocated modern science. He disguised himself as Veranimus, an alchemist who sensed the pre-immortal nature of Bacon and housed him when Bacon met his First Death in 1254. The two immortals spent a few decades in the company of Xanthia of Melitus, travelling Europe and trying to bring modern science to a world that was going through the darkness and supersticions of the Middlke Ages.
                                    It is those supersticions that did him in when he was convicted of sorcery by the Inquisition and burned to a stake, in spite of Rebecca and Roger's best efforts to free him. Virgil went through the agony of being burned alive and took one decade to recover psychologically.
                                    After recovering from this ordeal, he sailed sailing to south-east Asia where it is written in a private journal, he wrote during the 14th and 15th century that he found a way to reach the not yet-discovered American continent where he travelled during two centuries, making for himself a place among the Maya civilisation where he mentored a two hundred years old immortal woman, Carmen de la Pica Morales, who had lived unaware of her immortality and of the perils of the Game. Virgil taught her what she needed to know and helped her forge a sword for herself.
                                    Cross-referencing with Chronicles of the 16th Century allow to identify him as a mysterious Spanish immortal who appeared in Honduras in 1526 America and fought the invasion of Cortez' conquistadores, fighting immortal Isabel of Navarre, diabolical second-in-command to Cortez responsible for the death of hundred Mayas to a standstill in 1530.

                                    After the destruction of the Mayas by Cortez and Pizarro, Virgil was so disgusted by mortal's savagery that he made his way up north, toward the region of Canada and Alaska. His journal stopped there. He abandoned it in a secret chamber on Vancouver Island, where it was found and claimed by Watchers over a century later.
                                    Virgil himself eventually crossed the Bering Strait in the company of Samoyde whale-fishers, and traveled across Russia, returning to the comparative civilization of Europe where he vanished from Watchers records.

                                    Virgil settled in France in 1879 and, under the name of Jules Verne, wrote works of science fiction so visionary that his nom de plume is still famous throughout the literary world. In 1888, he is involved in the infamous Hunt for Jack the Ripper with twenty other immortals, including the legendary Whitechapel Trio.
                                    Today, Virgil lives in Heraklion under the name of writer Vincent Scagliese and toys with epic poetry that is never published; for amusement, he also forges 'undiscovered' Shakespearean plays and plants them where antiquarians and scholars can find them.

                                    • I will want the United Kingdom Immortals, my friend, but i'm holding out until I've completed the SIS/Hellfire Club chronicle, that way when you've updated the stats for the members of the SIS and Hellfire Club i'll have the complete picture so i can revamp my own chronicles.

                                      Speaking of which, i have another chronicle i'd like your help completing:

                                      Another easy victim of Ailef of Deira's misogyny. Willa was trained to use a sword by her teacher, but a near-death encounter with another Immortal in 772 saw her discard her sword and abandon the "madness" of the Game. Since then, she avoided other Immortals as much as possible. But when the Danes captured York in 866, Willa found herself trapped by unfortunate circumstance and was helpless to escape when, a year later, Ailef (the infamous Aldrich Monk) came looking for an easy Quickening.

                                        Well, for an intense disciple of Ceirdwyn like Mirabelle of Gascony there is an unlucky one, not cut for the Game.

                                        • Thanks for completing Willa's chronicle, my friend! As usual, much appreciated.
                                          Yes, Willa was, unfortunately, one of the more tragic students of Ceirdwyn.

                                          And now another for your help! Aldrich Monk's rampage continues:

                                          First teacher: (any ideas?)

                                          One of the youngest female victims of Aldrich Monk's early killing spree, Sorcha had survived, mostly alone, for over two hundred years, relying on her wits and cunning, heeding the lessons of her teacher, who taught her to use her small stature and feminine wiles to outsmart those who would come for her head. Preferring her own company, she survived by stealing and occasionally selling her body for food and a roof over her head, never staying in one place too long, that way she avoided the headhunters her teacher warned her about. Then in 931, the infamous Aldrich Monk, then known by his birthname, Ailef of Deira, came to Scotland and the court of Constantine II. Word soon reached him of an elusive girl thief who had survived fatal arrow hits and deadly falls from rooftops, so he set out to hunt her down. Unfortunately for Sorcha, she couldn't outwit the even more cunning and ruthless Ailef who soon tracked her down. Although she put up a spirited fight, she was really no match for the older Immortal.

                                            Notes :

                                            Hugh Fitzcairn isn't exactly tall either and never was a true player of the Game, Fitzmartin must have taught him to use his mind and speedness to evade players of the Game and to use agility over strenght when forced to fight.Same lessons here with Scorcha.

                                            It takes a very courageous man like Aldrich to come after a petite woman like Scorcha or an unobtrusive one like Willa. Bastard. His Watchers probably cordially despise him as much as I do now.

                                            • Thanks for completing Sorcha's chronicle, my friend.
                                              I'm glad you're beginning to despise Aldrich Monk, that's what i want. The Hellfire Club are the polar opposite of the SIS and although the SIS have done questionable things down the centuries to further Richeard of Mercia's goals, there is also a line they do not cross; killing innocent Immortals is one of them. Aldrich and his ilk have no such compunction. Even though Evangeline has differing views to Aldrich, she is still the Black Queen for a very good reason, as you will find out. And you know Saegar Lightfingers is just a blunt instrument wielded by Aldrich, he has no moral centre either.

                                              More to come!

                                              BTW Nice touch with the Swords of Allah wiping out the Islam Immortals prior to their rampage that brought them into the crosshairs of Deoneces and Kyra of Sparta.
                                              And who is the mystery Immortal who took out those two Immortal women? I'm intrigued...

                                                to find the two Immortals in Lagos

                                                To : Watcher Tribunal
                                                7 August 2017

                                                Reporting the first known battle and subsequent victory of Immortal Ikechukwu against an Immortal affiliatd to Boko Haram who was likely involved in the massacre of Ikechukwu’s village in 2015 since Ike seemed to recognize the man instantly and followed him around, with his band of thieves and beggars spinning a death web around the Immortal. The man was finally cornered and faced the teenaged Immortal who wasbn’t afraid to fight a 6 feet tall killer armed to the teeth. The fight was a furious one, like a mongoose fighting a royal cobra and Ikechukwu through a combination of luck and skills prevailed. The Quickening he savored solidified his unquestioned leadership of the Lagos street youths who know look at Ike in awe, viewing him like a kind of super-hero.

                                                • Another nice batch of chronicles, my friend. Although who is the African-American from Baton Rouge? Lol
                                                  Also, i like we have a tentative date for the final Gathering, and a finite number of Immortals with lots of stories to tell until then. A wise decision, i think...

                                                  Anyway, i have another chronicle i'd like your help to complete, the first kill of Evangeline Black:

                                                  Place: Winchester

                                                  Born: 798, Potentia, Principality of Benevento
                                                  First death: 831; soldier in the army of Sico, Prince of

                                                  Naples
                                                  First teacher: (any ideas?)

                                                  Morello of Potentia is the first recorded victim of Evangeline Black, who at the time was known by her birthname of Elfrida of York. Eager to taste her first Quickening after 19 years of immortality, Ailef, her teacher (the infamous Aldrich Monk), knew of an Immortal serving in the army of Northumbria who would be perfect prey, despite both of them being in service at this time to Eadwig, King of England and Northumbria. Elfrida would prove her deviousness when it came to outwitting other Immortals, seducing the smitten Morello at an inn on the outskirts of Winchester. After a night of bed-breaking fornication, Elfrida stabbed Morello in the heart and then took his head with his own sword. The Quickening set the inn ablaze but Elfrida fled the inferno, laughing.

Certainly a grizzly sight and from which Gupta will need to recover. 129 victims once the bodycount was done by the officials.

                                                    Ibn Al Talia of Yarkash is the Immortal who found the origins of Asvattha of Kabul Shahi, an Indian woman born in Afghanistan in the 10th century and was known as a holy woman living on Holy Grounds unaware of her own Immortality. She lived an a neveraging miracle worker, passing herself as a half-Goddess, healign hte sick and infirm of mind, helping the poor and suffering and relying on strong men to protect her from agressive people, swords in hands, who pretended ot harm her. None of those people could challenge her directly and she could never fathom why they would want to take her head. It was Ibn Al Talia who explained the facts of life to her. She diasppeared in 1339 but is expected to still life in the mountains of Kashmir (present Pakistan) where she made her home.

                                                    street children by Michael Moore, medical doctor
                                                    and surgeon

                                                    In 1955 Michael Moore sought respite from the Game and from a life of torments caused by the evild oings of serial kiler Quentin Barnes, his nemesis. Not aware he was a split personality and that Barnes was his alter-ego, Moore brought Barnes with him in Calcutta were he lived a doctor in the slum of Calcutta, in a place named ‘the city of joy’. There the good doctor met three Indian immortal childrne living on the streets wich whom he bonded and developped a friendship. The three children were close associates of Immortal Sanjiv Gupta who once helped them when they ran in tyrouble with Immortal Kamir who wanted to offer them in sacrifice to Kali, goddess of war and death. Gupta itnerfered and the three children were saved.
                                                    At least, that’s the story they told Michael Moore. Unlike Western Immortal children like Kenneth or the Von Arlon, they are not distrustful of adult-sized Immortals and are able to bond with any of their kind who shows no aggressive intents. They were truly a pleasure to watch, but Moore’s Watcher wrote how he shuddered at the idea of Moore reverting to his Barnes’ alter-ego, becoming a mosnter and thus betrying his new friends. In 1958 Barnes was back, raping and murdering several women of the city of joy and the childrne soon found out the dark secret of Michael Moore : his evil nemesis was himself.
                                                    Barnes hunted the childrne who soon disappeared from his sight, never to be seen again. We suppose they are still living somewhere since no proof was made of their death.

                                                    Fighting the Ghaznavids at Battle of Dandanaqan,

                                                    Kismet Necdet, aka Volkan Sabkiik, as ben identified as the Immortal who took out Njeza of Qabalia at the battle of Dandanagan in1040. Necdet made a name for himself as an Immortal who took out Immortal women in the Game, and not holy women or farmers : exclusively warrior women whom he thougt were worthy of his challenge and his utmost repect for the pain they take at being fit to compete with their male counterparts in the Game. A truly strange individual that one, but an Immortal bearing the name of Kismet “fate” is bound to believe in the Game and he truly felt an Immortal woman would take him ot of the Game someday. That day happened in 1731 when he challenged Mihrimah Pamuk the mameluke and was soundly defeated by a woman he loved to death.
