Since Kalas had committed several real crimes during his pursuit of the two Immortals, Methos then simply called the police and him arrested, which placed the cautious Kalas in a bind, and in prison while he figured out a way to free himself without drawing more attention. When Methos then nearly lost a duel to Kalas, he managed to escape and picked a fight with MacLeod, thinking that the two of them together could take Kalas, Duncan refused to take the oldest Immortal's head. Taking a gamble, he revealed himself deliberately to Duncan MacLeod. Since Immortals could sense one another, Methos knew it was only a matter of time before Kalas found him and figured out his ruse. Through him, Kalas found out about a Watcher researcher named Adam Pierson (Adam being a personal joke of Methos, and often used it in his assumed names) who would have any real information of Methos' possible whereabouts. At some point, Kalas decided to pursue the legend of the oldest Immortal, capturing and torturing the Watcher assigned to him when the man slipped up and got noticed. Kalas was killing mortal rivals and former lovers with abandon, and had once abused Holy Ground itself to gain power.
#WATCHER CHRONICLES HIGHLANDER SERIES#
His presence in the series began when an Immortal named Kalas, an old and bitter foe of Duncan MacLeod's, began a campaign to destroy those he cared about as a way of punishing him for destroying his once-beautiful singing voice, though in fair combat. Without this, he rightly fears that, like master gunslingers in the American Old West, he would face a never-ending string of challengers, one of whom was bound to get lucky. Methos tired of the Game long ago, and in times past, befriended the Watcher meant to observe him, eventually joining to serve his purpose of a quiet life. This suits Methos just fine, as it not only allows him to keep his own confirmed existence a secret, but also keeps him aware of the locations and activities of other Immortals, this to keep clear of their path. As far as most Watchers are concerned, he is in fact one of their own, a low-level researcher employed to find evidence of Methos himself, which they consider to be a wild-goose chase and no path to higher office. Many Watchers consider him strictly a legend, though Joe Dawson knows who he is. He was said to recall nothing of his life before taking his first head. At over 5000 years old, he is likely the oldest living Immortal, and has seen much of known Human history unfold.
