  • A few adjustements because I had too many Immortals born in the 20th century on the Active and Inactive rosters.

    Samuel Ferguson
    Background
    Original cultural affiliation : Australian
    Born : 1838, Perth Australia
    First death : 1872, Trampled by horses
    First teacher : Martin Hyde
    Known past associates : Martin Hyde,
    Andre Korda
    Known ennemies : Dorsey Comegna
    First recorded sighting : 1872, Perth. Found and
    mentored by Hyde, at this time hunting Aborigene
    immortals and kangaroos


    Daffyd Huws
    Background
    Original cultural affiliation : Welsh
    Born : 1837; Carnathen, Wales
    First death : 1869, Taken in quicksands while
    trekking in the forest
    First teacher : N.A
    Known associates : Black Friar mental patients
    First recorded sighting : 1899, outskirts of
    Carnathen. Mentored by Rhiannon Teague after his
    body was recovered during swamps cleaning
    Operation sponsored by government

    When the intact body of Dafydd Huws was recovered near Carnathen, the scientific world was puzzled at seening an delirious man who somehow survived drowning in quicksands and talked like a man born in the 1930’s. Rhiannon Teague got wind of the affair and investigfated the matter, finding a new immortal; she took he matter in her own hands after warning the SIS which put pressures on Wales agencies to release Huws to the competent hands of Teague. Dafydd Huws became a permanent guest at Sean Burns’ Black Friar Asylum after it became obvious the man would never recover his sanity : drowning again and again for thirty years, sliding from half-consciousness to coma, with watery sand in your lungs is bound to destroy your psyche. Dafydd Huws thinks himself back in the Carnathen of the 1850’s; oblivious to the outside world, his mind forever gone.When the Immortals War erupted and the other immortals patients of Burns rioted, Dafydd was away with the fairies, so to speak, and was never aware of it.

    Ender Gezmen

    Most recent base of operations : Stuttgart,

    Occupation : Professional racer
    Prior occupations : Motorcar racer

    Watcher : Alper Al-Taftazarni

    Like other motorcycle racers in the Game - Richie Ryan, Alex Raven, Lalica, Gregor Czardas - Ender Gezmen keeps a mobile target, always ahead of immortals with agressive behavior, seemingly lured to racing contests like flies to neon light. Ender was mentored by Nasredding Hoca, one of the wisest immortal in the world who kept his head for centuries by being paranoid about immortals and stayed relatively sane even during the Immortals War. Ender is overcautious in his life as his is when racing : he doesn't't want his secret exposed by a miraculous recovery after a fatal accident and rides his motorbike like an overachieving pro. After the war ended and the dust settled, Ender was unsurprisingly among the survivors, ready to face the 21st century with his two best friends : his bike and his Turkish cavalry saber.

    Hilaria Quintero
    Most recent base of operations: Madrid, Spain
    Occupation: Independent contractor, specialising in
    assassination, theft, extortion & kidnapping
    Prior occupations: Assassin, spy, master thief
    Roster of Immortals Status: Deceased
    Date: 12 June 2016
    Location: Madrid
    Victor: Frances Drummond
    Watcher: Alex Kavos

    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 only to reunite with the Butterfly in 2016 when she targeted the elder teenaged son of a family Frances Drummond is bodyguarding. Frances managed to free Lorenzo before Hilaria could do permanent damage to him and took the Harlequin out in a fury of thunder and lightnings. Lorenzo has never been the same again after this light show...

    • Nick Wolfe

      "What place is there for love when there can be only one", asked Nick Wolfe to Amanda after she shot him to death so he wouldn't die from slow-acting poison. Nick Wolfe didn't want to become immortal and resented Amanda for taking the decision in his place, thinking Evan Peyton's poison could have given him a permanent death. However, he isn't aware that immortality isn't necessarily triggered by a violent death. Aging, slow-acting poison, spoiled food do the trick too. But Nick rejected Amanda's love and support. Nick hates himself because he is in a world he cannot control : he cannot control the Game, he cannot control his Presence, warning immortals he is there. Nick cannot control his life anymore, and he tortures himself. Last time Amanda visited Nick in Vegas, the young immortal reconciled his differences with Amanda and accepted the presence of the Game in his life, startign to train seriously with mortal teachers and occasionally with the thousand-ears old thief.

      Florica Marga
      Roster of Immortals Status : Deceased
      Date : 12 May 1842
      Place : Prague
      Victor : Milos Arczynski
      Watcher : Alexandra Nechita

      Just a locale immortal innskeeper trying to keep out of trouble; unable to lift as word, lost Zoltan Laszlo in the woods and bashed Michael Rojek on the head with a frozen ox limb before escaping him. She finally decided to play the Game for good and discovered she had quite a talent with swords, cutlasses and kitchen knives. Took out six immortals, including three who came after her. She looks like a mere slip of a girl, but is a wicked lady when things get pushy. However, she cannot resist mature men and good-looking Immortals which may prove to be her downfall after all.

      Victor : Nestor Poole

      This is a young woman of some international reputation and speculation. Much has been written about her various marriages and affairs, travelling across the global and gaining the reputation of an interantional business shark. The woman certainly got around. Good with a sword too. A shark in business and in the Game.

      Arturo Barba
      Roster of Immortals Status : Deceased
      Date : 23 May 2014
      Place : Santiago
      Victor : Jimena Garbajosa
      Watcher : Research, South America

      In 1973, a military junta, led by General Augusto Pinochet, took control of Chile. The first years of the regime were marked by human rights violations. On October 1973, at least 72 people were murdered by the Caravan of Death, the Chilean army death squad led by Immortal Arturo Barba, Dominican-born and former lieutnant in the army of General Franco durign the Spanish Civil War.
      Nuela Montavez protested the rise to power of General Pinochet and paid a heavy price for it when Arturo Barba came after her and had her arrested for interrogation. Two weeks after her disappearance, her decapitated body was found near the slums of Santiago. Her student, Jimena Garbajosa, was safe, however, having fled to Cuba where she was reunited with Mexican revolutionnary and fellow Immortal Juanita Vasquez with whom she joined the Nicaraguan Sandinista army and learnt to use the arts of warfare agaisnt such ennemies of freedom and democracy as Pinochet.
      Forty years later, Jimena not only tries to find the whereabouts of Pinochet's victims so she can bring peace to their surviving relatives but she also hunts the perpeptrators of atrocities comitted agaisnt the Chilean people. She knows Arturo Barba is still out there, somewhere, living safe in Chile and not even a favor from God will help he Dominican Immortal when Jimena finds him.

      Update

      Watcher Research allow to find the original teacher of Arturo Barba, an unobtrusive nun by name of Felicidad Dealcruz who had enough temperament to hide an protect negro salves hunted by Barba. She warned Barba against others of his kind but it was Kage seemingly who properly trained him at some point of history : the two men reunited in 1937 durign the Spanish Civil War and Kage recognized in Barba his former disciple.



      Keenainak
      Most recent base of operations : No fixed location

      Date : 20 October 2017
      Place : Calgary
      Victor : Carter Wellan
      Watcher : Helen Maksagak

      Finally Keenainak has left the wastelands of Alaska to play the Game, in his own fashion : shoot his quarries from diastance with a harpoon (an expert at it) and then take the head with a stroke of his cutlass. Very easy. I hate immortals who cheat in the Game, no class. He has been hiring himself as murder-for-hire and hunts immortals in his spare time, must be change from killing polar bears. Then he tried his M.O on Carter Wellan and Hazeem al Bachrim who had been forewarned by Ravenwood that the Inuit was in Calgary, so the two Immortals were prepared. Keenainak didn’t have the time to use his spear, Carter and Haresh faced him both. “Shoot one of us, the other will take you head”. Keenainak whipped out his sword and faced Carter Wellan who made short work of the marauding Immortal.

King-ngoh Tay settled a few old scores with Akasaganga, a traitorous witch of a woman who sold herself to the Japanese the same way the accursed Malinche sold herself to the Spanish during the 15th century conquest of Mexico.

      • Love your latest updates, my friend! Once again, some great background work.

        And i loved how you resolved the Abigail Crane story. Your link to Rhiannon Teague and her shared history with Crane has inspired me and i'm going to delve a bit into their shared history through some Watcher reports, detailing the torment Crane heaped on Teague and the reason why she hunted her former friend down with the help of Allegra Chambers.

        Cheers

          Background
          Original cultural affiliation : Greek
          Born : 1915; Northern Epirus, Greece
          First death : Communist partisan killed by British-
          backed Royalist troops, Civil War of 1944-1949
          First teacher : Everett Bellian
          Known associates : Everett Bellian
          Known ennemies : Thanos of Athens
          First recorded sighting : 1949. Arta, Epirus
          Found and mentored by Everett Bellian

          While not as driven by hate and the need for revenge like Annie Devlin or Cornelia Falcone, Cresida Papanagou was determined to be the voice of her people on the immortal scene, something Deoneces and Kyra of parta wouldn't disagree with. However, what they didn't agree with was the extreme means Cresida used to make her voice heard : political murders and bombs were tghings she wasn't afraid to delve in, anf for the past fifty years she became the terrorist she hated in 1944 when she fought Royalist troops to free her homeland. Her ideals as a communist where all material needs would be filled for everyone got perverted in time and she lost herself over time.
          Fifty decades isn't much for an immortal, but Kyra needed to stop her before she killed more people and when Cresida wouldn't listen to the voice of reason, Kyra was forced to take action : she hunted every member of Cresida's network of saboteurs and assassins, dispatched them in permanent manners - their bodies were never found - before coming after the head of the Epirus Liberation Front whom she found derad, decapitated by Athenns’ protector, Thanos of Athens.
          Had Talia Bauer been Cresida's teacher, she would have lasted ten minutes against the Spartan blade, but her teacher was Everett Bellian and against Thanos, she lasted two.

          Important : Maya Samphan is now to be called Maya Sokhit : as a Khmer killing fields survivor she cannot bear the same name as Khmer Rouge dignitary Khieu Samphan who comitted genocide on the Cambodian people. It's tantamount to have a German herone named Eva Himmler. Please update accordingly on Mayas profile and on the profiles of the Immortals she killed.

          My name may be Mary Bad Eye but there isn’t a single soul who dares mock my tracking abilities, I can follow my Immortal anywhere he goes even when he goes missing for months. This is one man who left his teacher angry and with a bad attitude but he can control his meth addiction and his yearning for more of the Quickening. His first one he enjoyed in 2013 and since then he has been wanting more/ Some will say he is an addictive personality but little by little he wins more victories and soon no one will laugh at him anymore. Bewere Immortals of America, your days are counted !

          First recorded sighting : 1758. Rio de Janeiro,
          Brazil. Student of Bartholomew

          Lidio Valora first appears on Watcher records being mentored by the infamous Bartholomew of Wessex. He was seen regularly seen operating on both the mortal and immortal scenes as an investment banker diverting funds from the British Army during the war against Spain, WWI and WWI. He was reported to have funded the Spanish Cabal and gone in conflict against the SIS and later against th Knights of Charlemagne. A shadowy figure, Lidio lived in Southern Europe, living off funds accumulated during those terrible years, his mind unencumbered by the moral dilemnas or profiting from the suffering of the 50 Millions people killed or missing during last war.
          Lidio Valora, who disappeared from Madrid at the beginnign of the war, reappeared in Angola as a businessman in oil production; the Portuguese ironically sought his fortunes in a land his people originally conquered and exploited.

          I think the death of Brenda Wyatt was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. After the death of Brenda Wyatt, Sunda Kastagir, countless lovers and friends over the last four centuries, Connor MacLeod just couldn't take it anymore. The pain, the loneliness, the endless fighting, the pointless butchery caused by the Game. His cheerful attitude in when he fought Slan Quince in Seattle was faked : he pretended to be happy when he felt hollow inside. Ramirez was dead, Kastagir was dead, all the other heroes were too much in the shades of grey of the mortal world. Connor wanted respite from the Game and maybe he obtained it wherever he is hiding in present times.

His public turnover to ISIL triggered a scandal in Tajikistan. On 26 April 2017, a joint raid operation committed by U.S. Army Rangers and Afghan Special Forces in the Nangarhar Province resulted in the death of Sheikh Abdul Hasib, the leader of the Islamic State in Afghanistan. Along with Hasib, a number of other Top Commanders of ISIL were killed, including Nabiyev, reported missing since then.

          In 1743 the Hellfire Club triggered the London Riots against Gin Taxes and other legislation to control the Gin Craze, principally the Gin Act 1736; rioting was fuelled by consumption of the drink itself in clandestine pubs held by the Club. The Club's Black Bishop came after one of the SIS and ran when the fight turned to his disadvantage. He re-appeared in New-York with the other members of the Club, running a pub network. Kedgick got in conflict with the Club’s White Queen and disappeared, killed by Serena Harper who had a protective stance toward the Cvlub’s pre-Immortal proteges, the Hellions.

          By the 1220s, Aldrich Monk and Evangeline Black had grudgingly agreed to work together with Sampson Brass and his protégé Honoria Dedlock as the Brimstone Brotherhood to establish their own underground empire. At the time Monk mentored Emory, aka Nicholas Kedgick, into the Brotherhood, the organisation was already running a rigged gambling operation in many towns and cities in England, while Monk ran the Brotherhood from a hidden base in London under the alias of The Sparrow to avoid the attentions of Richeard of Mercia and his cohorts.

          First recorded sighting : 1762. Maine, USA
          Found and mentored by Ceirdwyn

          Research allowed to find the link between Irishwoman Hannah Witneg, student of Ceirdwyn and the elusive Laura J. Williamas both women were found to be one and the same; we could also provide information on several immortal women who were active in war times for the past three hundred years, all without recorded First death and who had incomplete chronicles on Watcher Records.
          Hannah Witneg, was an Irish woman who served in the Royal Marines for six years in the 1760s. She fought, disguised as a man, and was said to have served with ‘fortitude and valor’. She met her First death in 1762 and was mentored by Ceirdwyn who turned an already strong-willed woman into a powerful player of the Game who defeated more than one immortal who came after her head, thinking her easy picking.
          In 1781 she posed as a French-Canadian woman called "Miss Jenny", serving as a spy for the British during the American Revolutionary War. In 1817 she was located in Savannah, Georgia, where she was reported fighting a duel against another immortal woman; the duel was Inconclusive, Sarah McLaughlin let Hannah live to fight another day, not wanting to take her head with mortals prying around.
          In 1846, Hannah reinvented herself as Sarah Borginnes and was hailed as "Heroine of Fort Brown" following her actions during the Siege of Fort Texas. She went on to operate a series of inns providing food, lodging, liquor, and women to Zachary Taylor's troops.
          In 1862, as Laura J. Williams, she participates in the Battle of Shiloh during the Civil War with a company that she raised and led, all while disguised as a man. She meets immortal Thomas Morehead, parts in bad terms with the zealot immortal who hunts her down and kills her.

          Found and mentored by Sunda Kastagir

          Daniel Buckland has been relentlessly hunted like a fox by Hyde the Hunter who followed his usual Modus Operandi of tracking a young immortal to his teacher's lair after murdering his friends, his lover Patrick and all the mortals Buckland had the misfortune of meeting during the hunt.
          Buckland heard the tales of Martin Hyde by his teacher, Sunda Kastagir, who warned him of the headhunters he might encounter in Europe. But Buckland didn't want Hyde to kill his mentor, the man who had given a future and a life full of passion and adventures to him, so he lured Hyde out of Boston in the hope of losing him. I do not know what happened of him, since I lost both immortals and Hyde's Watcher had been killed two nights ago by his assignments. I fervently hope we will see Daniel again someday, his head firmly attached on his shouders with Hyde's beheaded body lying six feet under good English soil.

          • Have to come here and say excellent research re: the Japanese sisters and their links to the female warrior nobility of that period. I wonder if they had any contact with the noble Hideo Tanaka in their long lives?

            Also, glad to see some updates on the missing Immortal list. It makes sense some of them would show up again and the Watchers would confirm some of the missing as officially dead.

            Nice work with Kedgick being killed by Serena Harper, emphasising the in-fighting in the ranks of the Hellfire Club as opposed to the SIS who are more organised and trusting of each other.

            Cheers

            • The Onna-Bugeisha and Hideo Tanaka ? Most likely with Japan beign an insular archipelago. Yes they may have met.
              Can you post the profile for Immortal Jason Carthwright from your files, please ? He was once killed by Jean-Marc Claret, himself killed by Henry of Kent. I deleted Cartwright but I forgot what his story was...

              Thanks In advance

                • Thank you Apollo. Unfortunately we already have Captain Richard Sharkey killed around that date during the Anglo-Spanish War.
                  So I tweaked in a different background for Cartwright...

                  Found and mentored by Robert Preston

                  This time it should do. I noticed you embossed parts of Cartwright's stats, did you do this with all the characters I sent over the years ?
                  That's a lot of efforts!

                    Just started doing it on the updated stats. It's a long job, but when i print them out they look great! Lol
                    I'm eventually going to update all the Immortal stats like this and print them off. That way i'll have physical files in case anything happens to my PC again.
                    It'll be a marathon, but i'll get there in the end...! lol

                    Oh and i found that write-up for Jason Cartwright:

                    A decent man who believed in the wisdom of keeping the colonies of England under watch and didn't share his teacher's "There Can Be Only One" vision of the Game. Colonel Cartwright met Jean-Marc Claret in 1690, felt being Immortals allowed them to go beyond patriotism but Claret decided only one of them would walk from the battlefield with his head on his shoulders.

                    • There must be entire volumes of potential paperwork there. If you have missing files in case something happens again to your PC they are still available on my mainfraime.
                      Personally, I wish the Watchers Chronicles would remain a virtual thing, if you know what I mean...
                      Can you please look up Bethany Clarke's profile and give me the lsit of her students ? Still looking for the name of the Frenchwoman she once mentored lol

                      The chronicles of Ben Said-al-Magribi report how in 868 he fought the forces of Count Vimara Peres during the first reconquista of Iberia by Spanish troops, the first attempt to repell Moorish occupation of the Iberian peninsula. Ben Said was in Northern Portugal, when in the middele of a heated battle he sensed the presence of one of his kind, a mercenary who introduced himself as Glismoda, a Suevi briefly listed on the roster of immortals in 468 when she fought Cristovao Bastos during the sack of Coimbra by the Suevi tribe. Glismoda was thought to have been killed by the Portuguese hero, but somehow lived four centuries before re-appearing as a soldier of Count Peres. The battle raged on, ending on a stalemate by the end of the day. The following evening, Ben Said and Glismoda faced each other as immortals are prone to do. Ben Said fought with the same vigor and passion he bestowed on the Portuguese army and won against the Suevi warrior, taking her raw power and battle instinct; the following day, Ben Said won another victory when his army successfully defeated the army Count Vimara Peres.

                        She was challenged by Horst and Hugo Hauser, sarcastically noting how men are courageous when they are two against a lone woman. Those were her last words.

                          Found and mentored by Edwina of Mercia

                          Edwina of Mercia's first student, an edgy women who made scandals in the good society of London with her witty banter and sharp tongue, criticizing more often than not the current Victorian regime, complaining on how the once great English nation had turn into a nation of quarelling prudes who look like what they eat : overgrown steacks. 'No wonder the French call you all roastbeefs !' she used to say laughing. She was challenged by Horst and Hugo Hauser, sarcastically noting how men are courageous when they are two against a lonely woman. Those were her last words.

                          Levant. Nearly killed in battle by Ankh-Psantek

                          The Siege of Constantinople in 626 saw the battle of Xanthia of Melitus (again under the influence of a Dark Quickening) against ‘Shibtu of Yambad’ as she introduced herself, a consort and favorite of the Emperor of Constantinople. The fight, long and harduous, ended with Xanthia’s victory, the Quickening was quite powerful and rich, alluding to an immortal of ancient age. Shibtu’s background remained undetermined until her name was found mentioned in a chronicle of Egyptian Ankh-Psantek in 1274 BC, she was a consort of his and had to defend herself against his jealous rage until she disappeared from Watcher scope. Ishtar of Erech is the immortal who disclosed her origin story to Xanthia of Melitus during a trip to the Museum of Louvres in Paris, as she was the subject of an exposed painting.

                          I suppose we needed Crocodile Dundee on the Immortal scene I nAustralia, yet another cliché of the Australian myth for the Europeans and Americans who come visit us. Ramsay MacDonald however is a very seriosu 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 sicne wehave bene following him many Immortals have come after his head and never came back from their safari trip. His sole friends in the Immortal community are Mandawuy the shaman and 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 andchildren. A neverending debate.

                          against troops led by François Marchette

                          Enobakhare and Ikuseghan were soldiers in the corps of Dahomey Amazons, four thousand women molded into the most savage, ruthless and efficent cadre of female warriors of Africa, rivaling with the Spartans and the Kikuyus in savagery. After the dissolution of the corps in 1894, Xavier St. Cloud challenged Enobakhare and Ikuseghan to a fight and was litterally torn apart by the fierce women, losing a part of his stomatch and nearly one limb or two before Ikuseghan started tearing his throat apart with her own teeth. Xavier got lucky he could escape from the furies but he has never been the same since. During the Great War he was using mustard gaz in the Game and In the 1990’s ressorted to mercs armed with uzis. I think the amazon truly destroyed his self-confidence because she wasn’t even carrying her sword when he came after her. Enobakhare and Ikuseghan, who survived the slaughter of the Amazons elite troop durign the French-Dahomey war, are rumored to have joined Buffalo Bill Circus after their mentor took out Xavier and were never seen again, maybe they still live In America, under different identities

                            In the meantime, here's that chronicle you wanted. Feel free to make any updates you need:

                            First death: 1512; Raped and murdered by English

                            passing herself off as a captain of Henry VIII’s army

                            Soft-spoken, shy student of Edwina who never really recovered from being raped and murdered by English soldiers during the War of Henry VIII. Became a doctor to help the poor and suffering and has been avoiding the company of Immortals as much as possible with the exception of Edwina’s other students and her friend Grace Chandel.

                            The murders of Bethany Clarke and later Edwina have fuelled in her a wish for revenge; while not a vigilante, she embarks on a quest for the Hauser brothers and for Capito whenever she hears news of them.

                            • Okay, my friend, here's the first of the deleted chronicles. I only have a few of them though. I must have deleted the others:

                              Alphonse of Normandy

                              years

                              The fight was brief, Alphonse pitted all his strength against the mercenary in service to the invading English, to no avail; Lothar was a player of the Game for centuries, he was fast and mean, has speed while Alphonse was an overweight aggressive Immortal who only knew brute strength without any fighting skills.

                              I suppose that after two years of travelling with Borin and being little more than his hired help receiving only scraps of food for his good services, Kenneth decided his time as Forthwind’s lackey was over. When he lured Borin into the old abbey, the man from Wessex didn’t suspect the place was derelict and contained none of the treasure Kenneth promised. The Saxon boy buried his accomplice up to his neck with crumbling stones before taking his head, mockingly stating that one should take better care of the people who he chooses to travel with.

                              • Thanks Apollo. I gave a different background to Borin, now named Ioan Gruffud (aka Borin Forthwind of England), born In the Kingdom of Wales.
                                "Borin Forthwind" is a fantasy name actually, it doesn't exist anywhere on sites referencing medieval English names. He would more be a Dungeons & Dragons kind of character.
                                As for Alphonse... well, I must have disliked him and I already have a Frenchman killed during the One-Hundred Years War.

                                In the last nine years since we started this gig on the HLBB I deleted 370 characters with valid reasons... and recycled one hundred of those.
                                I have presently 3,730 Immortals on my lists.

                                The stats on your files do look great.

                                Would you have a character named Erik De Pre on you lists ? Killed by Seraphina in Sout hAfrica.

                                • I actually like the stats and background on Borin Forthwind as a victim of Kenneth. But i agree that his name is a bit D & D fantasy, so i decided to check out the Saxon names and have now updated thus:

                                  Borin Forthwind becomes....

                                  Breid of Wessex

                                  I'll see if i have Erik De Pre and i'll post those other chronicles i have.

                                  • Good work! Can you please look up Zoraida, Anthony Bainard and Nicholas Hilliard, please. If only so I can be treated again to your great embossed starts lol


                                    The Messenger, aka the Apostate I
                                    From the Chronicles of the Sacred Order research project

                                    One upon a time, the Apostate role wasn't given to Kotys the Hunter but to an ancient and wise Immortal who discovered the secret of Memnet-Ra and his infamous Zodiac Brotherhood, a man driven to world dominion by using Immortals as his pawns, like pieces of chess, and started the sick heresy known as The Game. Two thousand years of pointless killing the man known as the Apostate decided to stop. Thus was born the legend of the Messenger, an Immortal who betrayed his pledge to the Order of Sacred Knowledge and stopped killing his own kind, in the name of peace. For eleven hundred years - from the day he left the Order to his untimely death in 1996 - the Messenger scoured the world, looking for Immortals ready to listen to his message, going so far as to pose as Methos, the oldest living man. His identity still remain one of the best kept secrets of the Order. In time the Order forgave his betrayal and he was replaced with a more ruthless Apostate, Kotys the Hunter.
                                    Kotys himself sought to kill him : not only for betraying the Order but also because of the trail of bodies the Other Methos left in his trail : good men and women who forsook the Game and paid the ultimate price for it. Eventually, a Kurgan wannabe named Wilhelm Kliest (aka William Cullbraith) cheated Kotys out of his assignment, but the damage was gone : had it not been for the Messenger and his preaching, many more Immortals would live to this day and now that the Gathering is coming by the end of the next decade, The Sacred Order works to preserve the secrets of the Immortals so their existence be never forgotten. And this is a true testament of the wonders Immortals and Watchers could do together.

                                      Known enemies: Zai Jie, Connie Richland

                                      First recorded sighting: 1787, Valley of Mampang,
                                      China. Inconclusive fight against Zai Jie.

                                      Carter Hawk had only one passion, only one love: unearthing ancient treasures, discovering forgotten civilizations and old languages. While this would rank him as a favorite Immortal among historians and researchers in Watcher circles, Carter lived also for the Game, for the thrill of battle and for the Prize. But this was second only to his love of archaeology. He was first spotted on Watcher records in the Mampang Valley of China, when he met and challenged Immortal Zai Jie over the digging of an ancient temple. The fight was interrupted by an abrupt landslide, Carter just left the area.

                                      He was seen combing the four corners of the world, digging forgotten treasures and occasionally playing the Game. In 1861, he married a pre-Immortal girl and trained her in fencing and archaeology, but never managed to make her a happy woman. Urania soon left him alone, and Carter resumed his life.

                                      In 1990, he returned to the Valley of the Kings in Egypt where he challenged Connie Richland, another Egyptologist trying to learn more about Pharaohs’ subjects and life in ancient Egypt, Connie fought Carter and won. While Carter was a dedicated player of the Game and a proficient earth-digger, he forgot one thing: to be a man, a human being, and this, somehow, is what lost him when he underestimated, first his wife, then Connie Richland.

                                        Ah Vincent ! Lost somewhere on a road, looking for an unattainable goal he never could reach. Born in a time predating the Game, seeing the folly of it but never realising the Game was such a part of Immortality that both could be never be parted. I long suspected Vincent was older than I am, but who can prove it ? When I spoke to him the first time, he never realised who I was and I seriously believed his mind had crumbled when Iistened to his idiotic antics about fear being the source of all evil on earth. The source of evil is us, of course. Just us. What I find truly shameful is how his "teachings" led other Immortals to their death, which is a perversion of his message of peace : lay down your sword so we all live together like a big happy family. Well, all families are dysfunctional and have their nasty elements. Like my dearly departed family.

                                        The Messenger, aka the Apostate I
                                        From the Chronicles of the Sacred Order research project

                                        One upon a time, the Apostate role wasn't given to Kotys the Hunter but to an ancient and wise Immortal who discovered the secret of Memnet-Ra and his infamous Zodiac Brotherhood, a man driven to world dominion by using Immortals as his pawns, like pieces of chess, and started the sick heresy known as The Game. Two thousand years of pointless killing the man known as the Apostate decided to stop. Thus was born the legend of the Messenger, an Immortal who betrayed his pledge to the Order of Sacred Knowledge and stopped killing his own kind, in the name of peace. For eleven hundred years - from the day he left the Order to his untimely death in 1996 - the Messenger scoured the world, looking for Immortals ready to listen to his message, going so far as to pose as Methos, the oldest living man. His identity still remain one of the best kept secrets of the Order. In time the Order forgave his betrayal and he was replaced with a more ruthless Apostate, Kotys the Hunter.
                                        Kotys himself sought to kill him : not only for betraying the Order but also because of the trail of bodies the Other Methos left in his trail : good men and women who forsook the Game and paid the ultimate price for it. Eventually, a Kurgan wannabe named Wilhelm Kliest (aka William Cullbraith) cheated Kotys out of his assignment, but the damage was gone : had it not been for the Messenger and his preaching, many more Immortals would live to this day and now that the Gathering is coming by the end of the next decade, The Sacred Order works to preserve the secrets of the Immortals so their existence be never forgotten. And this is a true testament of the wonders Immortals and Watchers could do together.

                                        Martin Hyde trained Christoph Koenig well and turned him into an unredeemable bastard and killer of yougn Immortals as were all the Immortals from his line of students. Exept Christoph didn't kill seasoned Immortals, his preferences went to Immortal women. Koenig lived for the thrill of the hunt and specialized in women since he was taught early they could be as dangerous as wilcats or black spiders; he killed six that we know of until he crossed the path of Kristin Gilles whom he though to be his next quarry, but he was the one to be picked off : she seduced him out of his wits, they spent a few months together until he tired of her and tried for her head. But this is a wicked woman who knows her way with poisoned daggers and sword. She launched her blade through his heart and took his head, scoring another Immortal like the praying mantis she proved to be.

                                        • Yes! Really loved what you did with Jacob of Ashkelon. An Apostate before Kotys the Hunter? Genius idea!
                                          And the fact the new Apostate set out to eliminate his predecessor was also a nice twist and proof of how far Kotys will go to preserve the secrets of the Order.
                                          Still got to wonder though whether Methos is aware of the Order or not. The Order obviously knows all about him....

                                          Found and mentored by Keith “crazy weasel” Boyer, Ivor was infected with the aggression coming from the young Immortal and thought the best defence was attack. He expected to take on one Immortal after another, figuring he had all the time in the world to win the fabled Prize; he would go from one city to another, posing as a college student, living large and enjoying his immortal youth. But he stayed the computer geek he used to be, and no one would talk to him because of his insufferable arrogance and chauvinistic attitude to foreign students.
                                          When at last he met his first Immortal, sweet-natured Amy, he thought himself lucky and lost his head before he even got to lose his virginity.

                                          As pre-Immortal, mentored by John Garrick,
                                          taught of the Game after his First Death

                                          In the 108th year of his immortal life, Anthony Bainard was working on a sculpture of the Virgin Mother and her child to celebrate the nativity by the end of December. The Virgin Mother was nearly done, the baby Jesus looked beautiful, as if coming alive in the hands and tools of Anthony.
                                          The young Immortal was respected by his peers and avoided the company of other Immortals as much as possible, having been forewarned by his master, John Garrick, that a Scot would come after him and end his life. So, Anthony stayed in England and never set foot in Scotland.

                                          Alas, William Campbell of Strathclyde was a man who liked to hunt outside of Scotland and had already killed an English Immortal in 1376. When William heard strange stories of a stonecutter who seemingly kept his youthful appearance when others grew old and died past the age of thirty, he started hunting again.
                                          On the 23rd of December, Anthony Bainard’s head fell to the ground, his Quickening lit up the sky and destroyed the last of his work, because of a Scottish murderer who never saw the beauty his quarry created.

                                            On the Black Continent, 1960 became known as 'the Year of Africa' with Belgian Congo, Togo and Somalia claiming their independance from the empires that kept them under their rule. Echijole Jimah, always one to fight for a rightful cause fought for the emancipation of those three countries and got caught in the schemes of Erik De Pre, a Walloonian involved in the Congo Crisis. Closely working with Sunda Kastagir, Bebe Kiamonni and Sekou Nkruma she worked on the revolutionnaries ' side and found herself in conflict with De Pre whose games of politics were putting the newly independant country in danger. Echijole interfered and took the head of De Pre, but unfortunately couldn’t prevent the subsequent civil war that took place between 1961 and 1963.

                                            John Rhodes is the man who taught Frank Bascombe and Girk Coejeman eveything they knows about the Game, about hunting colored people so that the One may be the white man as it is the will of God. Jews, blacks, Asians, Pollacks, none of them are safe in South Africa, for John Rhodes is watching us, keeping us safe from the black Satan.
                                            He killed five immortals in one century and could have killed three more, but Rhodes is a patient man : he has files on the immortals of South Africa, he knows where they are and that he can easily defeat them.
                                            In the end there can be only one. In South Africa, the white man prevails.

                                            Culbraith was pretty good with a sword and had a chip on his shoulder the size of Detroit, but somehow I found it hard to be intimidated by a guy who's still wearing leisure suits in the '90s. No wonder the peace-loving Methos thought he could turn this guy from the dark side -- Culbraith was nothing more than a Bad Guy Wannabe. He was a villian seriously in need of a makeover if he wanted to compete in the big leagues. Face it, the Kurgan would have had this guy for lunch.

                                            First recorded sighting : 2600 BC. Early Dynastic
                                            Period of Sumer. Encounter with Tizkar of Sumer

                                            There is not one “Methos Chronicle” per se as much as there are threads, pale and finely spun, weaving their way in and through all the other chronicles. The trick to researching Methos is to find a thread and follow it as far as you can go before it disappears again. Much of what is “known” about the elusive oldest immortal is based on vague rumor,innuendo. Much of it is also wrong. While he can be placed in Sumer during the Early Dynastic Period, and later in Ur in the 2nd Millenia BC., he is most likely not Sumerian. While there is evidence to support his presence in Egypt in three separate periods, he is not Egyptian.
                                            Whatever his origin, he has been many things since; he has been a slave and a god and all manner of men in between. He has been described as a huge bear-like man, with a deep booming voice; a fearsome warrior, noted for his wisdom and his cunning; a natural leader of men who would eagerly lay down their lives for him. Earlier Methos Research has speculated that Ahaziah of Ramoath Gilead was one of Methos alias, but if that were the case, Methos died in Lutetia in 423 AD in front of a number of witnesses. But I do not believe that is the case. One can still see his trace in the Chronicles, as recently as three hundred years ago. I believe that Methos is still out there, somewhere ready to be found if we can just locate the proper thread and follow it to its natural conclusion.

                                            Paris, January 1995

                                            ADDENDUM: I’ve left this tissue of lies and half-truths “huge,bear-like, man,with a deep booming voice”?
                                            Only in your dreams, Pierson!) in the Methos profile, because I think the lies he chose to tell us about himself are as illuminating as the few actual tidbits of truth he wanted to make sure we knew about him. As infuriating as Methos’ infiltration of the Watchers and his “doctoring” of the truth has been to us all, I believe that with careful study, it will reveal as much about the man that I’m sure he’ll wish we never knew. Take for example how careful he is to disprove the Ahaziah-theory-as much as he may want to stay hidden, he is vain about his life and his achievements and can’t bear to have them attributed to another. And there are even a few bones he’s thrown in for us: “later in Ur in the 2nd Millenia BC”- the Watchers currently have no records from this period on any Immortals- “there is evidence to support his presence in Egypt in three separate periods “-we’ve only confirmed evidence of Methos in Egypt in the reign of Merneferre Ay. Now, whether he’s done this to help us out or just jerk our chains remains to be seen. Or maybe he was just bucking to make his alter-ego Adam Pierson “Watcher of the Year.”

                                              To Zoraida, immortality had no meaning, only the beauty of the Quran, the peerless worlds of Allah, the friendship of Haroun al-Rashid (thrice blessed be his name) and of the Western woman, Rebecca (aka Xanthia of Melitus). She lived for her poetry, for the laughs of her friends, the smile of a child (she helped to give birth to many) and took delight in her writing. Then that beast from northern Russia came to Oran, sacked the city and destroyed the world of Zoraida, killing her friends, burning her books, before taking her head.
                                              A noble woman is gone forever, the legacy of Haroun al-Rashid is now extinct with the death of Hamza el-Kahir, and with Iman Fasil having turned to his own darkness.

                                              Even before his First Death, Joshua Boone was mentally ill, hiding his compulsive, depressed behavior behind acts of vandalism and thievery that led him to the gallows when he was framed for the massacre of an entire family, found on the crime scene in a pool of blood. He was hung without a trial and buried in an unmarked grave from which he was dug up by Walter DeGrey, fellow Englishman and savvy player of the Game.

                                              Walter taught Joshua what he could and left him on his own after a few years spent together. Left alone, Joshua went back to his depressed state until his encounter with stonemason John Garrick who told him of a legendary city located somewhere in England where Immortals dwelt: the disenfranchised, the infirm, the ugly, the murderers, all their sins redeemed. While some old chronicles write about the cult of the ancient god Baphomet, held by Immortals, there is no conclusive proof of the existence of “Midian”, the place Garrick referred to and whose legend made its way into the feverish imagination of horror writer Clive Barker.

                                              Or maybe Garrick was referring to St Cristopher? No one knows for sure, but Boone believed in it and spent his immortality searching for “Midian” until he met up with Tabitha Kinsey whom he mistook for a kindred soul because of her misshapen face. Boone didn’t survive his encounter with Tabitha, which is a shame; maybe he could have led up to Midian…

                                                To Zoraida, immortality had no meaning, only the beauty of the Quran, the peerless worlds of Allah, the friendship of Haroun al-Rashid (thrice blessed be his name) and of the Western woman, Rebecca (aka Xanthia of Melitus). She lived for her poetry, for the laughs of her friends, the smile of a child (she helped to give birth to many) and took delight in her writing. Then that Moorish beast bearing a Christian name came to Oran, sacked the city and destroyed the world of Zoraida, killing her friends, burning her books, before taking her head. A noble woman is gone forever, the legacy of Haroun al-Rashid is now extinct with the death of Hamza el-Kahir, and with Iman Fasil having turned to his own darkness.

                                                    From the Tribunal :
                                                    The following is to be entered on the records of the SIS activities

                                                    Finally the old bastar is dead. After fifty years of evading the pursuits of the Secret Immortal Society for his war crimes in the Trenches, in Crimea, in India, in Kenya, for causing the needless death of countless civilians and British officers, of Zulu warriors , of German soldiers during the Great War and WWII, the SIS found his trace, in the heart of Birmingham where he was hiding in plain sight. Helen Bondeville stationed in Birmingham hunted him to the outskirts of the city, where no camera would observe his execution, and put an end to his madness and his fanatism for wars.
                                                    For fifty years European nations have been living in peace, the colonial empires crumbled under their weight, but Colonel Kilian would never change. The last time he nearly lost his head was when Duncan MacLeod hunted him after his execution in 1918, but I guess his time was up this year.

                                                    Alice Ming has been seeing Sean Burns again, the nightmares from her past came back : her First Death and rape in 1832, her investigation of the Connoisseur’s crimes in 1842, the Asian Immortals from the criminal Chinese undergrounds she had to kill over the years, her investigation of the Rape of Nanking, all of this has brought back terrible memories from the past. While this is a tough woman she reached her breaking point and needs her rest. Her best therapy so far is her involvement with the online Chinese community with which she runs non-profit social events in Liverpool’s Chinatown, though this is not enough to alleviate her burgeoning depression.

                                                    Background

                                                    First death : 1969, Taken in quicksands while
                                                    trekking in the forest

                                                    First recorded sighting : 1999, outskirts of
                                                    Carnathen. Mentored by Rhiannon Teague after his
                                                    body was recovered during swamps cleaning
                                                    Operation sponsored by government

                                                    When the intact body of Dafydd Huws was recovered near Carnathen, the scientific world was puzzled at seening an delirious man who somehow survived drowning in quicksands and talked like a man born in the 1930’s. Rhiannon Teague got wind of the affair and investigfated the matter, finding a new immortal; she took he matter in her own hands after warning the SIS which put pressures on Wales agencies to release Huws to the competent hands of Teague. Dafydd Huws became a permanent guest at Sean Burns’ Black Friar Asylum after it became obvious the man would never recover his sanity : drowning again and again for thirty years, sliding from half-consciousness to coma, with watery sand in your lungs is bound to destroy your psyche. Dafydd Huws thinks himself back in the Carnathen of the 1960’s; oblivious to the outside world, his mind forever gone.
                                                    When the Immortals War erupted and the other immortals patients of Burns rioted, Dafydd was away with the fairies, so to speak, and was never aware of it.

                                                    Since I had a little too many deaths in the US Northwest during the 1990's, here are a few Immortals for your Inactive lists. Not that it will make any difference when the Gathering comes...
                                                    As far as the 1990's deaths toll is concerned, there is also the interference of Rita Luce and James Horton's death squad who killed 23 Immortals. 1970's : 126 deaths, 1980's : 156, 1990's : 187 + 23 killed by Watchers;
                                                    2000's : 226, showing how violence is escalating. 2010's so far : 300 with the Immortals War.

                                                    If you asked John Garrick about his mental health problems, he’d be the first to tell you he’s beaten it, he’s cured. Frued thought so. Jung thought so. Even Sean Burns, the noted psychotherapist and his fellow man, is convinced of his recovery I guess you have to be his Watcher, not his shrink, to see that all is still not well in the mind of Garrick the Stonecutter. Some say Garrick has been crazy since he was born, that his lifelong gift of Vision and his insanity both flow from the same dark recess of his mind. But the Chronicles show that for the first 400 years of his life, Garrick was a gentle and loving soul—good husband, good friend- who viewed his gifts of sculpture of Vision, and of immortaliy all as blessings from God, whom he praised through his stonework on churches throughout England. It is only after 1662, with the fiery death of his last wife, Julianna, and his own subsequent burning at the hands of an ignorant and superstitious mob, that his personal demons began to overpower him. And now, after 400 years of first hand knowledge of how mankind treats its insane, Garrick can walk the walk and the talk the talk of sanity. He knows the jargon, he knows the craft of the shrinks. He says he knows how the mind works, and indeed he does. Only, it’s not a healthy mind, he understands—its his own. The danger will come when he decides to use that knowledge.

                                                    In war against US forces with husband Little Robe

                                                    In light of the description of the Bronze Age Methos given by Cassandra to Cleophon of Athens, confirmed by Methos himself – a warrior clad in white, with a skull-shaped mask wearing war paints – one might infer that the mysterious stranger calling himself White Skull, a medecine man in the American West of 1730, may well have been the elusive Methos. The chronicle of Cheyenne immortal Little Robe describes his teacher as speaking with a British accent, sporting a beak-shaped nose and having wreaked havoc on mortal kind ages ago. Methos having been in San Francisco in 1795, where he killed the Celt immortal Vergolix, it is likely he may have mentored Little Robe in South Dakota sixty years before.

                                                    They say that during global catastrophes like the Ice Age, megatsunamis, earthquake or the asteroid that wiped the dinosaurs out, only small species no bigger than my hand will survive. I guess that's true, since the dinosaurs left the place to small mamals that later evolved in to Homo Sapiens. I guess the same is true for some immortals : the discret, silent ones, those who know they cannot live by the sword and need to use their brains in order to keep their heads on their shoulders. A good example of this would be Basil Morgan, Amanda's fence from Toronto. Let's take a look at all the dramas and he survived :

                                                    In the middle of the 17th Century, Basil is killed during tenement fire with his wife and adopted child and survive by fleeing to the New Continent, before being able to return to his homeland decades later.
                                                    1866 sees the Great Fire of Chicago and the first sighting of Morgan by a Watcher. A battle had started between Cybelle McWirter (aka Kellistra) and an immortal calling himself "King Minos". The latter's quickening set fire to a barn, a fire which due to a combination of bad luck torched the entire city. The mouse-faced immortal was here, out of the way, and managed to survive.

                                                    In 1912, Basil sailed for New-York on the largest, safest boat ever built by man : the Titaninc. We all know what happened to that boat. Basil became famous for being
                                                    one of three immortals to survive the catastrophe : Amanda, Duncan MacLeod and himself.
                                                    In 1936, Basil is living as a Jewish tailor in Berlin during the Nazis rise to power. He survives by staying out of the way and turning into a cemetery caretaker in Munich until 1942 when he is rounded up by nazi soldiers to be sent to Dachau. Basil killed the soldiers and fled into the night.
                                                    In 1985, Basil Morgan settles in Toronto's Chinatown as a fence, gaining the confidence of immortals such a Amanda, Corey Raines and Viktor Hansen. Scoping out the local underground, he becomes a well-liked fence. Making sure a church or a shrine is in the vicinity and keeping his sword in reach. Surprisingly, Basil survived the end-of-century Gathering when so many immortals felt the urge to kill each other endlessly. But that was close.
                                                    Fifteen years after settling in Toronto, Basil moved to New Orleans where he lived on the border of the law until Erika came around. The Americans had sown the wind with their pollution, their reaped the whirlind. Marie Laveau, Papa Beloved and Basil sTodd their grounds and helped many imperished mortals to survive, all those the US government had left out.

                                                    See ? That's a recurring pattern for the man : a skinny immortal who you wouldn't expect to live out his first decade of immortality and, using his brains, manages to live though three hundred years of perils.

                                                    For two years Sherilynn has been surviving the only way she could think of, making easy money with her youthful charms, knowing she didn’t have to fear std’s or malcontent customers with her two-edged broadsword. By training regularly with the best mortal teachers in town she made serious progress, creating a technique of martial arts move mixed with her swords skills; we do hope she came out of the Immortals War unscathed and that 1994 will see her among us since she was nowhere to be seen on last year’s census.

                                                    Born : 255 BC; Celtic Gaul, Northern Italy

                                                    First recorded sighting : 52 BC. Battle of Alesia
                                                    Fighting the Romans with Vorlix and Caratarix,
                                                    aka Methos

                                                    Most have known Obelix as a fierce Celtic warrior, but that was not all their was to him. Reports in all of his chronicles note that he was a happy man who took great joy in life. From the moment his feet hit the floor in the morning he was smiling and whistling. He found great joy in everything he did. He was a cunning warrior, but he was also a gifted metal craftsman. He could turn gold and silver metal into beautiful yet practical tools. He often gifted his students with swords that he handcrafted for them.
                                                    I don’t believe that Grayson knew that Obelix was here when he rode into the village looking for a blacksmith. But when they saw each other a fight was not far behind. Obelix considered both Darius and Grayson as enemies for the attack that destroyed the village he was living in at the time. That was when Grayson and Darius were determined to conquer all of Europe.
                                                    He nearly killed Darius when he ran into to him in Paris. Darius came off holy ground to face Obelix, and told him that he could not and would not fight him. Darius said, “Nothing I do can make up for the pain I have caused you or others that I have harmed. My only way to atone for the wrongs that I have done is to try to live each day in peace and help others. I will not fight you. If you must kill me, than you must do so now.” Obelix would not kill an unarmed man and saw that Darius had truly changed and left. But Grayson was another matter altogether, he was not repentant or apologetic priest living a life of poverty, chastity, and piety. Grayson was an arrogant warlord counting his spoils that he gained from raiding eastern kingdoms in the name of Christianity. Obelix fought valiantly but Grayson was better, and so ends the chronicle of Obelix of Gaul.
