Unsure of circumstances of first death,
Methos
can only remember as far back as the first head
he
took. The man he is today is greatly different
than
the man he was so long ago. During the early part
of
his 5000+ years Methos was a part of the Four
Horsemen
of the Apocalypse. This lasted for a thousand
years.
During that time he was one of the evilest and
most
feared figures in the World. He was responsible
for
countless numbers of death and massive
destruction. He
regrets those actions now and says this of his
actions: Times were different then, I was
different
then. It is one of a thousands regrets.
Has met many a historical figure over the years
(including Caesar, Cleopatra, Lord Byron, and
Mary
Shelley). He has spent much of life after the
Horsemen
in quieter settings all around the world. He
withdrew
from the Game and took on a life of quiet
contemplation. He enjoys studying and learning as
well
as preserving things so this life suited him
perfectly.
Methos joined the Watchers in the late 80's,
under the
guise of a graduate student named Adam Pierson,
and
became his own chronicler. He figured what better
way
to ensure that he would remain a myth than
control the
info on himself.
His life was going smoothly and
rather dully until Duncan MacLeod entered it.
MacLeod
found out who he was and befriended him. He also
brought out Methos' conscious and made him take
an
active role in things once again. At the time of
the
plague he was spending some time vacationing in
Canada.
