| Name: | Methos | |||||||||
| Bio: | It's good to be a myth. Age: Apparent age mid thirties, actual age approximately 5,000 Physical Description:Methos stands 6 feet tall. His frame is the spare frame of a marathon runner, and he possesses the grace of a practiced fighter. His hair is short cut brown, and his eyes are green. Background: Methos is an Immortal, the mythical oldest Immortal to some. As an Immortal he doesn't age, he's immune to disease, and he heals quickly from most injuries including a number of fatal ones. The one way to kill an Immortal permanently is by beheading. Methos enjoys being only a myth as much as he can because all Immortals are part of the Game. Each one seeks to be the last surviving Immortal so they can claim the Prize. There are rules to the Game -- "Never fight on Holy Ground," "Always fight one-on-one," but the first rule is, "There can be only one." Because the way to kill an Immortal is by beheading, most Immortals carry a sword. History BCE: Methos' earliest life is something of a mystery even to him. The figure of 5,000 for his age is his own approximation based on how far back his memory stretches. In Methos mortal life he was one of five children. He had two brothers and two sisters. Methos died for the very first time in a sandstorm that wiped out his entire family. It wasn't until many years after that first death he would finally meet another Immortal who would take him under their wing. That man was a Pharaoh named Djer. Though the Pharaoh thought to make him his student he didn't realize Methos' plans. Djer had killed his wife, for that he was buried alive in a sarcophagus. Centuries passed before Methos took his first head, more passed before he joined with Kronos, Silas, and Caspain as one of the Four Horsemen. They murdered, raped, and pillaged their way across two continents. Much of what the Horsemen did is known only from them, but there is one survivor of their raids who still lives to give her account, Cassandra. She was their prisoner for a time, then escaped from their camp. Methos didn't follow her as soon as she escaped from them. For many centuries he'd spend time with the Horsemen, and leave them only to find himself reunited with them once again. Only at the dawn of the Common Era did he finally leave them for good. History CE: In 34 or 35 CE Methos was a slave in the household of the Roman Senator Valerius Petronius. The Senator's wife Druscilla the Emasculator didn't take Methos turning down her advances at all well. She accused him of rape getting him crucified for the crime. Contrary to what one might think it did a number of good things for Methos. It taught him to stay out of politics, it taught him to never get between a married couple, and it brought about his introduction to the Immortal Marcus Constantine. Marcus heard of his plight, and rescued him from the cross before he died too many times. Marcus rescued him only knowing him as the slave Remus. Methos majored in medicine and dueling at the University of Heidelberg in 1453. While it isn't known what he used for an alias then it is known he would practice medicine again. In 1808 he was Doctor Benjamin Adams seeing to slaves in New Orleans. While Captain Morgan Walker chased him out of the New World, he continued to be Doctor Benjamin Adams in the Old World, serving as George Gordon Byron's personal physician and mentor in 1816. Lord Byron's Watcher Dora Rossi thought Methos was a lover to Mary Shelley and Lord Byron. Methos had some consideration for decency. He also had some feelings for Byron besides those for an employer or student. Present: After years of working for the Watchers, Methos' having played a part in Jacob Galati's death left him feeling lost. For a while he simply wandered the world, or at least Tibet, but he had all the enlightenment he could use and returned to his friends. While Methos was spending time with Duncan MacLeod and Joe Dawson, Byron crossed their paths. He came into conflict with Duncan, and as much as Methos tried to prevent a fight between them Byron lost his head. Though he resisted standing between them, once Byron lost the fight Methos felt drawn to do something in his memory. Methos again became a doctor, Doctor Adam Pierson.
