"He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander. Born in 1592 in the Highlands of Scotland and he is still alive. He is immortal. For four hundred years he's been a warrior... a lover... a wanderer."
Born in the year 1592 in the Highlands of Scotland, Duncan's father is unknown to him. He was raised by the chieftan of the clan MacLeod, Ian MacLeod. Ian gave him as a gift to his wife, when she lost another child during birth. His father raised him to ascend to his position. He had him trained as a warrior, diplomat, and scholar, proud that his son excelled at all. Yet it was at combat that he excelled them most, though he was a gentle soul.During his 30th year of Life, his clan became embroiled in yet another dispute with it's neighbors. Unable to come to a civil decision, the dispute erupted into violence. AT the beheast of his father, Duncan was chosen to lead his people in the conflict. During the course of the battle, though he equiped himself well, Duncan fell. After his death he was revived, as are all immortals. Denouncing him as a demon his father and mother disowned him.
Yet things would work out for Duncan, as his destiny truly began. Found by Connor Macleod, who explianed to Duncan who and what he was, he began his new life. Connor would become Duncan's mentor and guide throughout his life as an Immortal. Duncan lived though many wars and times of conflict including witnessing the French Revolution, the Battle of Waterloo and fought in both World Wars.
During his life Duncan would meet many people who would influence his life, molding him into a great and powerful Immortal. Many of these are other Immortals: some of whom become mentors, some become friends and some become enemies. Though he starts out as a reckless, uneducated, and somewhat arrogant man, Duncan is able to gradually change during his life. He matures as he travels the world as with age, he becomes the wise, educated and compassionate character that we are introduved to during the present.
Having lived for centuries Duncan is an expert in many subjects, fluent in multiple languages and as necessary by his lifestyle is skilled in many forms of martial arts. Also as a consequence of his many lifetimes, he has been many things including a soldier, bodyguard, newspaper editor, World War I ambulance driver, chauffeur, and World War II Resistance fighter. Most recently during his life he has been an antiques dealer, a dojo owner and also a part-time History teacher.
Many of the greatest of the events of Duncan's life are recorded as happening during the years between 1992-1998. Joe's journal's show that Duncan returned to The Game after a period of semi-retirement with his girlfriend Tessa Noël and a meeting with clansman and mentor Connor MacLeod. Having returned to the Game, Duncan meets many old friends and enemies again, and manages to repay many old debts. Proving himself a skilled swordsman Duncan kills many Immortals.
Yet these times are also charachter building. He loses people he cares about, including Tessa, the love of his life and many of his friends. Sadly, Duncan befriends Richie Ryan, mentors him after his First Death and teaches him the ways of the Immortals much as Connor had for him. Events transpire that cause him to accidentally kill him in 1997, an event Duncan is shaken up about for a long time.
Duncan also meets Joe Dawson, who against the rules, reveals to him that there is an organization known as The Watchers who secretly observes all Immortals. Two of the greatest of his accomplishments are meeting with the oldest Immortal Methos, and defeating the demon Ahriman.
