He had seen the rise and fall of many civilizations, including the Egyptian, Roman, and modern eras. Il avait vu la montée et la chute de plusieurs civilisations, y compris l'Égypte égyptien, romaine, et les époques modernes. Methos was one of the Watcher Organisations' greatest mysteries.

Ce faisant, il a réussi à empêcher la découverte de l'Methos vrai, et garder un œil sur les autres Immortels qu'il préférait éviter.

5500 years + old immortal
Just like Superman who has his own alter-ego of mild mannered reporter, Clark Kent, Methos tried to be unseen by pretending to study the Chronicles of Methos, and became somewhat of an off-field agent for the Watchers. [[Image: Rog12.jpg | thumb | left | 115px | 5500 ans +] immortels] Tout comme Superman qui a sa propre [[] alter-ego] du journaliste de manières douces, Clark Kent, Methos essayé d'être invisible en faisant semblant d'étudier les Chroniques de Methos, et est devenu en quelque sorte un hors-champ agent pour la Watchers. Therefore, nobody would suspect that he was actually the legend. Par conséquent, personne ne soupçonne qu'il était en fait la légende. That changed when two Watchers died at the hand of Kalas, a badass immortal. Cela a changé lorsque deux Watchers est décédé à la main de Kalas, un immortel badass. Joe Dawson realized that Kalas (played by David Robb) was looking for Methos, the mythical "oldest Immortal." Joe Dawson s'est rendu compte que Kalas (interprété par David Robb) était à la recherche de Methos, le mythique "Immortal plus ancien." Duncan MacLeod knew that with Methos' Quickening, Kalas would finally be strong enough to defeat him. Duncan MacLeod savait que avec Methos 'Quickening, Kalas serait enfin assez forte pour le vaincre. Kalas and MacLeod raced to be the first to find Methos. Kalas et MacLeod a couru pour être le premier à trouver Methos. Duncan's search led him to seek out "Adam Pierson". recherche Duncan l'a amené à chercher «Adam Pierson". Duncan immediately sensed that Adam was an immortal and guessed correctly that he was actually Methos himself. Duncan immédiatement senti que Adam était un être immortel et deviné qu'il était en fait lui-même Methos. MacLeod challenged Kalas, nearly defeating him when the police arrived to send Kalas to prison for the deaths of the Watchers. MacLeod contesté Kalas, près de le battre quand la police est arrivée pour envoyer Kalas en prison pour la mort de l'Watchers. But Methos also vanished, at least for a while. Mais Methos également disparu, du moins pendant un certain temps. ===Return=== Methos returned in the episodes "Finale: Part 1" and "Finale Part: 2". This marked him as one of the regular characters in the series, a role that eventualy added some of the most important background to the series. === === Retour Methos retourné dans les épisodes" Finale: Partie 1 " et" Finale Part: 2 ". Cela lui marqué comme l'un des réguliers personnages de la série, un rôle qui eventualy ajouté une partie du fond le plus important de la série. Kalas ended up breaking out of prison because of Amanda. Kalas a fini par sortir de prison en raison de Amanda. She wanted to take his head, but he escaped instead. Elle voulait prendre la tête, mais il a échappé à la place. A widow named Christine wanted to reveal the secrets of the Immortals and the Watchers to the press, because her husband who was a Watcher, was murdered by Kalas. Une veuve nommée Christine a voulu révéler les secrets des Immortels et les Veilleurs à la presse, parce que son mari qui était un Watcher, a été assassiné par Kalas. Methos and Joe Dawson tried to talk her out of it, but she refused. Methos et Joe Dawson a essayé de parler à sortir de celle-ci, mais elle a refusé. In a desperate attempt, Joe tried to kill her, but accidentally "killed" Duncan instead. Dans une tentative désespérée, Joe a essayé de la tuer, mais accidentellement "tué" au lieu Duncan. Methos wisely reminded Joe that Duncan didn't try to save Christine, but he wanted to protect Joe. Methos judicieusement rappelé que Joe Duncan n'a pas essayé de sauver Christine, mais il a voulu protéger Joe. Ironically, Christine was killed by Kalas. Ironiquement, Christine a été tué par Kalas. He took the disc containing the information about The Watchers and the existence of the immortals. Il a pris le disque contenant les informations sur Le Watchers et l'existence des immortels. Duncan fought Kalas on top of the Eiffel Tower, where he defeated the evil immortal. Duncan a combattu Kalas au sommet de la Tour Eiffel, où il a battu l'immortel mal. The tower, being a giant lightning rod, amplified the Quickening and shut down the power all around Paris, as well as destroying Kalas' computer and the disc containg all the information. La tour, être un géant paratonnerre, amplifié l'accélération et l'arrêt de la puissance électrique pouvoir tout autour de Paris, ainsi que la destruction d'ordinateur Kalas et le disque containg toutes les informations . The secret of the immortals and the Watchers were safe, and Methos secured himself as Duncan MacLeod's friend. Le secret des immortels et les Veilleurs étaient sains et saufs, et Methos lui-même fixé comme ami Duncan MacLeod. ==Origins== Methos claimed that he was about 5500 years +old, and said "everything before that is a little fuzzy". == Origine == Methos a affirmé qu'il était d'environ 5500 ans +, et dit: «tout ce qui précède que c'est unpeu floue". His birth date and place are lost, because he couldn't remember the exact details. Sa date de naissance et le lieu sont perdus, parce qu'il ne se rappelait pas les détails exacts. However it seems that Methos was born either in ancient Mesopotamia or ancient Egypt in around 3500 +BC. Cependant, il semble que Methos est né soit dans l'ancienne Mésopotamie ou anciennes Egypte dans l'ordre de 3500 avant JC. When he was approximately 28 years old he died when a sandstorm trapped him and his family. Quand il était d'environ 28 ans, il est mort quand une tempête de sable piégé lui et sa famille. By the time he was an estimated 603 years old, he took his first Quickening. Au moment où il a été estimée à 603 ans, il a pris sa première Quickening. He then realized that there were many immortals besides him, and he started to learn about the Game. Il a alors réalisé qu'il y avait de nombreux immortels à côté de lui, et il a commencé à en apprendre davantage sur laGame. When he was a slave back in Egypt, an Egyptian immortal Pharaoh named Pharaoh Djer took him under his wing but apparently the ruthless pharaoh killed his nomad wife, so Methos buried him alive inside a sarcophagus within a deep tomb and claimed his throne as a Pharaoh of Egypt. Quand il était un esclave de retour en Egypte, un pharaon égyptien immortel nommé Pharaon Djer l'a pris sous son aile, mais apparemment le pharaon impitoyable tué sa femme nomade, Methos lui alors enterré vivant dans un sarcophage dans une tombe profonde et a remporté sa trône comme un pharaon de l'Egypte. His journey after that was unknown. Son voyage après qui était inconnue. He kept many journals, almost since the Sumerians invented writing in approximately 3500 BC. Il a gardé de nombreuses revues, presque depuis les Sumériens ont inventé l'écriture dans environ 3500 av. He learned how to write in hieroglyphic, Hyksos, Cuneiform script, Phoenician and Ancient Greek writing systems. Il a appris à écrire en hiéroglyphes, Hyksos, l'écriture cunéiforme, phéniciens et les anciens systèmes d'écriture grecque. He claimed he got to know Helen of Troy, Socrates, Caesar and Cleopatra; the English poets Lord Byron and Percy Shelley along with his wife Mary Shelley, and he rode with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Il a affirmé qu'il fait la connaissance d'Hélène de Troie, Socrate, César et Cléopâtre; les poètes anglais Lord Byron et Percy Shelley avec sa femme Mary Shelley, et il partit avec Butch Cassidy et le Sundance Kid. He also claim that he knew Alexander the Great and sarcastically mentioned that Alexander wasn't that great. Il a également prétendre qu'il savait que Alexandre le Grand et sarcastique mentionné que Alexander n'a pas été excellent. He has been married 68 times, never to an Immortal because, according to Methos, it would be too much of a commitment. Il a été marié 68 fois, jamais à un Immortel parce que, selon Methos, il serait trop d'un engagement. He fell in love with a mortal named Alexa, a waitress who worked in Joe's bar who was sick. Il est tombé amoureux d'une mortelle nommée Alexa, une serveuse qui travaillait dans le bar de Joe qui était malade. Methos had knowledge about The Methuselah Stone, rumored to be able to make a person immortal, and tried to steal it (with help from Amanda) to cure Alexa. Methos avait connaissance de Le Mathusalem Stone, répandu pour être en mesure de faire un immortel personne, et il a essayé de voler (avec l'aide de Amanda) pour guérir Alexa. Methos failed to retrieve the stone and Alexa died of sickness, becoming one of the true lost loves of his life. Methos n'a pas pu récupérer la pierre et Alexa est mort de maladie, de devenir l'un des vrais amours perdus de sa vie. He had been many things in life. Il avait été beaucoup de choses dans la vie. One of his aliases was "Benjamin Adams", or rather, "the good Dr. Adams", as he was known in the 19th century. Un de ses noms d'emprunt a été "''Benjamin Adams", ou plutôt, «le bon docteur Adams», comme il était connu dans le [[19] siècle]. He majored in medicine in Heidelberg, Germany, in 1453. Il a étudié en médecine à Heidelberg, en Allemagne, en 1453. Methos used the name "Adam" in most of his aliases as an inside joke, because he was amused that people referred to him as the oldest man. Methos utilisé le nom de "Adam" dans la plupart de ses noms d'emprunt comme une blague, parce qu'il a été amusé de voir que les gens visés à lui comme le plus vieil homme. He didn't care whether he was the oldest one, as long as people were not looking for him. Il ne se souciait pas de savoir s'il était la plus ancienne, tant que les gens ne cherchaient pas pour lui. Even when a The Messenger called The Messenger (played by Ron Perlman) appeared, he was rather surprised that someone else was using his name. Même quand un [Methos [faux | Le Messager]] appeléLeMessenger (joué par Ron Perlman) est apparu, il a été un peu surpris que quelqu'un d'autre se servait de son nom. He thought it was flattering and was happy to let someone else be hunted for awhile. Il pensait que c'était flatteur et a été heureux de laisser quelqu'un d'autre être chassées pendant un certain temps. One of his favorite drinks was beer, maybe because the Mesopotamians invented the drink. Un de ses boissons préférées était de bière, peut-être parce que les Mésopotamiens inventé la boisson. Being the oldest in the gang, he could be very witty and had a great sense of humor and an extremely sharp mind, which sometimes could be annoying according to Duncan and Joe. Etre le plus ancien de la bande, il pourrait être très spirituel et avait un grand sens de l'humour et un esprit extrêmement vif, qui pourrait parfois être gênant selon Duncan et Joe. In some ways, he was pretty manipulative towards his friends and foes. À certains égards, il était assez manipulatrice envers ses amis et ennemis. The only person that could match him, in his manipulative ways, was Amanda. La seule personne qui pouvait rivaliser avec lui, dans ses voies de manipulation, était de Amanda. Methos and Amanda sometimes could be very cunning, especially to Duncan MacLeod. Methos et Amanda pourrait parfois être très malin, surtout à Duncan MacLeod. Fans noted that their relationship was more like siblings or good friends. Fans noter que leur relation était plus comme fratrie ou de bons amis. She seemed to know Methos from earlier times. Elle semblait connaître Methos d'autrefois. But he held a very dark and mysterious past, a past that he would like to have buried forever. Mais il a un passé très sombre et mystérieux, un passé qu'il aimerait avoir enterré pour toujours. ===The Four Horsemen===

Death

Methos had a dark past, that was so shocking even the fans couldn't believe that their favorite nice immortal was actually a member of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the mythical and biblical ultimate evilness. === Les Quatre Cavaliers ===

Mort

Methos avait un passé obscur, qui était si choquant, même les fans ne pouvaient croire que leur immortel préféré Nice était en fait un membre de The Four Horsemen de l'Apocalypse, le mythique et [[] biblique] perversité ultime. Duncan MacLeod learned that the man he trusted had a horrible secret. Duncan MacLeod a appris que l'homme qu'il avait une horrible confiance secret. During the episode of Comes a Horseman, which many fans consider the best episode of the Highlander series, Cassandra (played by Tracy Scoggins) pointed out that the polite and witty immortal named Methos was actually Death and had enslaved her many millennia ago. Au cours de l'épisode de Comes a Horseman, qui fans beaucoup considèrent comme le meilleur épisode de la série Highlander, Cassandra (interprété par Tracy Scoggins) a souligné que la poli et spirituel immortel Methos a été nommé effectivementmortet a esclaves son [millénaires []] de nombreuses années. Methos had ridden with The Four Horsemen, who plundered and raped villages on two continents back in the Bronze Age. Methos avait monté avec The Four Horsemen, qui ont pillé et violé des villages sur les deux continents dans le dos âge du bronze. Kronos (played by Valentine Pelka), the leader of the Horsemen, tracked down Methos in order to get to Duncan MacLeod. Kronos (interprété par Valentine Pelka), le chef des cavaliers, traqués Methos afin d'obtenir de Duncan MacLeod. Methos decided to flee but Duncan caught him leaving, then asked whether Cassandra's accusations were true. Methos a décidé de fuir, mais Duncan pris le quitter, a ensuite demandé si les accusations étaient vraies Cassandra. Duncan learned the shocking secret that his best friend had an unjustifiably evil past. Duncan a appris le terrible secret que son meilleur ami avait un passé sans justification mal. Methos knew that Duncan's moral conscience couldn't stomach this revelation, though he tried to make Duncan understand. Methos savait que la conscience morale Duncan ne pouvait pas l'estomac cette révélation, mais il a essayé de faire comprendre Duncan. In that famous confrontation, Methos finally admitted that his past was evil. Dans cette confrontation célèbre, Methos a finalement admis que son passé était mauvais. He told Duncan MacLeod as much, in a chilling monologue: ::"I killed. But I didn't just kill fifty, I didn't kill a hundred. I killed a thousand. I killed TEN thousand! And I was good at it. And it wasn't for vengeance. It wasn't for greed. It was because — I liked it. Cassandra was nothing. Her village was nothing. Do you know who I was? I was Death. Death — Death on a horse. When mothers warned their children that the monster would get them, that monster was me. I was the nightmare that kept them awake at night. Is that what you want to hear? The answer is yes, oh yes." Il a dit Duncan MacLeod autant, dans un monologue de refroidissement: ::" j'ai tué Mais je ne tuent pas seulement cinquante ans, je n'ai pas tué une centaine de J'ai tué un millier de J'ai tué dix mille et je l'étais...! ... bon à lui et il n'était pas de vengeance, il n'était pas pour la cupidité C'est parce que -... Je l'ai aimé Cassandra avait rien Son village avait rien Savez-vous qui je suis j'ai été mort de mort -?. Death sur un cheval. Lorsque les mères ont averti leurs enfants que le monstre serait de les obtenir, ce monstre a été moi. J'étais le cauchemar qui les empêchaient de dormir la nuit. Est-ce que vous voulez entendre? La réponse est oui, oh oui. " And in that moment, Duncan decided to put an end of their friendship. Et à ce moment, Duncan a décidé de mettre fin de leur amitié. Methos decided to put the band together again, and both he and Kronos tracked the remaining members. Methos a décidé de mettre la bande à nouveau ensemble, et lui et Kronos suivi les autres membres. Silas (played by Richard Ridings), the brutal but naive one, and Caspian (played by Marcus Testory), the insane one. Silas (interprété par Richard Ridings), le brutal, mais naïf, et mer Caspienne (interprété par Marcus Testory), le fou. Kronos had a plan to rule the world once again. Kronos avait un plan pour dominer le monde une fois de plus. In the end, during the episode Revelation 6:8, Methos joined Duncan MacLeod to destroy the Horsemen. En fin de compte, au cours de l'épisode Apocalypse 6:08, Methos rejoint Duncan MacLeod de détruire les Horsemen. The two defeated the Horsemen together, resulting in a powerful "Double Quickening". Les deux ont défait les Cavaliers ensemble, résultant en un puissant "Double Quickening". Duncan killed Kronos, while Methos had to kill Silas, the only member of the Horsemen that he really liked. Duncan a tué Kronos, tandis que Methos avait pour tuer Silas, le seul membre des cavaliers qu'il a vraiment aimé. But it was too late to repair the friendship between himself and Duncan. Mais il était trop tard pour réparer l'amitié entre lui et Duncan. ==Grey World== Although Methos' friendship with Duncan was officially over, it didn't prevent the two from interacting where Methos would talk to Duncan about life. == Grey mondiale == Bien que l'amitié Methos "avec Duncan était officiellement terminée, elle n'a pas empêché les deux d'interagir où Methos parlerait à Duncan sur la vie. Amanda begged Methos to do something, because Duncan's outlook on life had been shattered by another immortal named Steven Keane. Amanda demanda Methos de faire quelque chose, parce que les perspectives de Duncan sur la vie avait été brisée par un autre immortel nommé Steven Keane. He shared Duncan MacLeod's black and white point of view, and it affected him in dealing with The Game.

Black and White

Methos wisely told a reluctant Duncan that life was not as simple as good and evil. Il a partagé le point noir et blanc Duncan MacLeod de vue, et c'est lui touchés pour faire face àl'image du jeu. left | 170px | thumb | noir et blanc Methos judicieusement déclaré lors d'une réticents Duncan que la vie n'était pas aussi simple que bien et le mal. There were always two sides of the same coin, and also a grey area in between. Il ya toujours deux côtés d'une même médaille, et aussi une zone grise entre les deux. Methos claimed that he was not a perfect immortal, and there was no such thing as being perfect. Methos a affirmé qu'il n'était pas immortel parfait, et il n'y avait rien de tel que d'être parfait. An Immortal should just accept his life, and decide what was best for himself. Un Immortel devrait simplement accepter sa vie, et de décider ce qui était mieux pour lui-même. Immortals also made mistakes, because they are just human beings, and mistakes could be forgiven. Immortels aussi fait des erreurs, parce qu'ils ne sont que les êtres humains, et les erreurs puissent être pardonnés. And as immortals, they had their duty to play in the Game. Et comme immortels, ils ont eu leur devoir de jouer dans le jeu. Duncan's reluctance to compete in the Game affected him in many ways. Duncan réticence à soutenir la concurrence dans le jeu l'a affecté de nombreuses façons. He accidentally killed his own protege, Richie Ryan, because he thought he saw an evil being called Ahriman posing as other people. Il a tué accidentellement son protégé, Richie Ryan, parce qu'il a cru voir un mal appelé Ahriman se faisant passer pour d'autres personnes. He became more brooding, and tried to defeat Ahriman. Il est devenu plus inquiétante, et essayé de défaire Ahriman. In the end, he did defeat the evil being. En fin de compte, il n'a vaincre le mal-être. But Methos had already disappeared again; not even Joe Dawson could find him. Mais Methos avait déjà disparu à nouveau, pas même Joe Dawson pourrait le trouver. ==Being Old and Wise== When Methos returned again, the following year in the episode of "Indiscretion", he found himself being chased by an obssesive immortal named Morgan Walker, who hated him for having an affair with his slave back 200 years ago. == Être vieux et sage == Quand Methos revint, l'année suivante dans l'épisode de"Indiscretion, at-il pris en chasse par un immortel obssesive nommé Morgan Walker, qui le haïssait pour avoir une liaison avec son esclave de 200 ans auparavant. Methos had no other choice but to hide for the time being and look for some information from The Watcher's computer database. Methos avait pas d'autre choix que de se cacher pour le moment et de chercher des informations de base de données informatique The Watcher's. Joe Dawson was angry when he found out that Methos was back, only to try to save his own life by trying to hack into Joe's file, instead of explaining his whereabouts a year ago. Joe Dawson était en colère quand il a découvert que Methos était de retour, seulement pour essayer de sauver sa propre vie en essayant de pirater le fichier de Joe, au lieu d'expliquer ses allées et venues il ya un an. Methos, in his own clever and manipulative way reminded Joe about his Watcher's oath, and that Joe had broken his own vows to help Duncan MacLeod, but not to Methos. Methos, à sa manière habile et manipulateur propres rappelé Joe sur son serment Watcher's, et que Joe avait rompu ses propres vœux pour aider Duncan MacLeod, mais pas à Methos. That offended Joe and damaged their already shaky friendship. C'est offensé Joe et endommagé leur amitié déjà vacillante. But Joe couldn't stay mad at Methos any longer, because he needed his help. Mais Joe ne pouvait pas rester en colère contre Methos plus longtemps, parce qu'il avait besoin de son aide. Apparently a rookie Watcher named Amy Thomas was kidnapped by Morgan Walker, and apparently she was Joe Dawson's illegitimate daughter. Apparemment, un Watcher recrue nommée Amy Thomas a été enlevé par Morgan Walker, et apparemment elle était la fille illégitime de Joe Dawson. Both Joe and Methos had to escape Morgan Walker's henchmen and try to save Amy. Joe et Methos avait pour échapper à sbires Morgan Walker et tenter de sauver Amy. In the end, Methos bonded with Joe and defeated the evil immortal. En fin de compte, Methos collé avec Joe et défait l'immortel mal. Joe patched things up with his daughter, and also patched up his friendship with Methos. Joe choses rafistolée avec sa fille, et aussi rafistolé son amitié avec Methos. In this particular episode, fans thought there would be a spinoff based on this storyline; presumably a "Methos and Joe Show" kind of series, but the idea of a spinoff never occured, so it was just a speculation. Dans cet épisode particulier, fans pensais qu'il y aurait un spin-off basé sur cette histoire; probablement untype "Methos et Joe Show" de la série, mais l'idée d'un spin-off n'a jamais eu lieu, c'était donc juste une spéculation. ==After the Series== In 2005 Peter Wingfield reprised the role of Methos in the first installment of a trilogy of films. == Après la série == En 2005, Peter Wingfield reprend le rôle de Methos dans la première tranche d'une trilogie de films.

-'''Methos''' is a character from the fictional universe of the [[Highlander movies]] and [[Highlander: The Series]], portrayed by the [[Wales|Welsh]] actor [[Peter Wingfield]].
-==Introduction==
-What started as a one-shot part, when he was introduced to the series in an episode called ''"Methos",'' turned into four years of regular appearances in which Methos became one of the most popular characters in the series. It was initially intended that he would be killed at the end of season 3 in the episode ''"Finale",'' but the writers saw potential in the popular character and kept him on for the next season. The audience liked the perspective of a cynical five-thousand-year-old man combined with the complexity of the character's dual roles.
-===Mild-Mannered Watcher===
-Under the guise of [[Watcher]] Adam Pierson, Methos hid his secret. He had seen the rise and fall of many civilizations, including the [[Ancient Egypt|Egyptian]], [[Ancient Rome|Roman]], and modern eras. Methos was one of the Watcher Organisations' greatest mysteries. His existence was doubted and questioned for many centuries. During his time at a [[University]] in Paris, Methos as Adam Pierson "uncovered" the ''"[[Methos Chronicles]]"'' which documented with varied accuracy much of his life. In order to prevent the discovery of his true existence, he voluntereed to study the Chronicles. In so doing he was able to prevent discovery of the true Methos, and keep tabs on other Immortals that he preferred to avoid.
-[[Image:Rog12.jpg|thumb|left|115px|5000 years old immortal]]
-Just like [[Superman]] who has his own [[alter-ego]] of mild mannered reporter, [[Clark Kent]], Methos tried to be unseen by pretending to study the Chronicles of Methos, and became somewhat of an off-field [[agent]] for the Watchers. Therefore, nobody would suspect that he was actually the legend.
-That changed when two Watchers died at the hand of Kalas, a badass immortal. [[Joe Dawson]] realized that [[Kalas (Highlander)|Kalas]] (played by [[David Robb]]) was looking for Methos, the mythical "oldest Immortal." Duncan MacLeod knew that with Methos' [[Quickening]], Kalas would finally be strong enough to defeat him. Kalas and MacLeod raced to be the first to find Methos.  Duncan's search led him to seek out "Adam Pierson".  Duncan immediately sensed that Adam was an immortal and guessed correctly that he was actually Methos himself. MacLeod challenged Kalas, nearly defeating him when the police arrived to send Kalas to prison for the deaths of the Watchers. But Methos also vanished, at least for a while.
-===Return===
-Methos returned in the episodes ''"[[Finale: Part 1]]"'' and ''"[[Finale Part: 2]]".'' This marked him as one of the regular characters in the series, a role that eventualy added some of the most important background to the series.
-Kalas ended up breaking out of prison because of [[Amanda]]. She wanted to take his head, but he escaped instead. A widow named Christine wanted to reveal the secrets of the Immortals and the Watchers to the press, because her husband who was a Watcher, was murdered by Kalas. Methos and Joe Dawson tried to talk her out of it, but she refused. In a desperate attempt, Joe tried to kill her, but accidentally "killed" Duncan instead. Methos wisely reminded Joe that Duncan didn't try to save Christine, but he wanted to protect Joe.
-Ironically, Christine was killed by Kalas. He took the disc containing the information about The Watchers and the existence of the immortals.
-Duncan fought Kalas on top of the [[Eiffel Tower]], where he defeated the evil immortal. The tower, being a giant [[lightning rod]], amplified the Quickening and shut down the [[electric power|power]] all around [[Paris]], as well as destroying Kalas' computer and the disc containg all the information. The secret of the immortals and the Watchers were safe, and Methos secured himself as Duncan MacLeod's friend.
-==Origins==
-Methos claimed that he was about 5000 years old, and said "''everything before that is a little fuzzy''". His birth date and place are lost, because he couldn't remember the exact details. However it seems that Methos was born either in ancient [[Mesopotamia]] or ancient [[Egypt]] in around [[3000 BC]]. When he was approximately [[28]] years old he died when a sandstorm trapped him and his family. By the time he was an estimated [[603]] years old, he took his first [[Quickening]]. He then realized that there were many immortals besides him, and he started to learn about ''the Game''.
-When he was a slave back in Egypt, an Egyptian immortal Pharaoh named Pharaoh [[Djer]] took him under his wing but apparently the ruthless pharaoh killed his nomad wife, so Methos buried him alive inside a sarcophagus within a deep tomb and claimed his throne as a Pharaoh of Egypt. His journey after that was unknown.
-He kept many journals, almost since the Sumerians invented writing in approximately 3300 BC. He learned how to write in hieroglyphic, Hyksos, Cuneiform script, Phoenician and Ancient Greek writing systems.
-He claimed he got to know Helen of Troy, [[Socrates]], [[Caesar]] and [[Cleopatra]]; the English poets [[Lord Byron]] and [[Percy Shelley]] along with his wife [[Mary Shelley]], and he rode with [[Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid]]. He also claim that he knew [[Alexander the Great]] and sarcastically mentioned that Alexander wasn't that great.
-He has been married 68 times, never to an Immortal because, according to Methos, it would be too much of a commitment. He fell in love with a mortal named Alexa, a waitress who worked in Joe's bar who was sick. Methos had knowledge about [[The Methuselah Stone]], rumored to be able to make a person immortal, and tried to steal it (with help from Amanda) to cure Alexa. Methos failed to retrieve the stone and Alexa died of sickness, becoming one of the true lost loves of his life.
-He had been many things in life. One of his aliases was "''Benjamin Adams''", or rather, "''the good Dr. Adams''", as he was known in the [[19th century]]. He majored in medicine in Heidelberg, Germany, in 1453.
-Methos used the name "[[Adam]]" in most of his aliases as an inside joke, because he was amused that people referred to him as the oldest man. He didn't care whether he was the oldest one, as long as people were not looking for him. Even when a [[fake Methos | The Messenger]] called ''The Messenger'' (played by [[Ron Perlman]]) appeared, he was rather surprised that someone else was using his name. He thought it was flattering and was happy to let someone else be hunted for awhile.
-One of his favorite drinks was [[beer]], maybe because the Mesopotamians invented the drink.
-Being the oldest in the gang, he could be very witty and had a great sense of humor and an extremely sharp mind, which sometimes could be annoying according to Duncan and Joe. In some ways, he was pretty manipulative towards his friends and foes. The only person that could match him, in his manipulative ways, was [[Amanda]]. Methos and Amanda sometimes could be very cunning, especially to Duncan MacLeod. Fans noted that their relationship was more like [[siblings]] or good friends. She seemed to know Methos from earlier times. But he held a very dark and mysterious past, a past that he would like to have buried forever.
-===The Four Horsemen===
-[[Image:Badmethos.jpg|thumb|200px|Death]]Methos had a dark past, that was so shocking even the fans couldn't believe that their favorite nice immortal was actually a member of [[The Four Horsemen]] of the Apocalypse, the [[mythical]] and [[biblical]] ultimate evilness. [[Duncan MacLeod]] learned that the man he trusted had a horrible [[secret]]. During the episode of [[Comes a Horseman]], which many fans consider the best episode of the Highlander series, [[Cassandra]] (played by [[Tracy Scoggins]]) pointed out that the polite and witty immortal named Methos was actually ''[[Death]]'' and had [[enslaved]] her many [[millennia]] ago.
-Methos had ridden with [[The Four Horsemen]], who plundered and raped villages on two continents back in the [[Bronze Age]]. [[Kronos]] (played by [[Valentine Pelka]]), the leader of the Horsemen, tracked down Methos in order to get to Duncan MacLeod. Methos decided to flee but Duncan caught him leaving, then asked whether Cassandra's accusations were true. Duncan learned the shocking secret that his best friend had an unjustifiably evil past. Methos knew that Duncan's moral conscience couldn't stomach this revelation, though he tried to make Duncan understand.
-In that famous confrontation, Methos finally admitted that his past was evil. He told Duncan MacLeod as much, in a chilling monologue:
-::''"I killed. But I didn't just kill fifty, I didn't kill a hundred. I killed a thousand. I killed TEN thousand! And I was good at it. And it wasn't for vengeance. It wasn't for greed. It was because — I liked it. Cassandra was nothing. Her village was nothing. Do you know who I was? I was Death. Death — Death on a horse. When mothers warned their children that the monster would get them, that monster was me. I was the nightmare that kept them awake at night. Is that what you want to hear? The answer is yes, oh yes." ''
-And in that moment, Duncan decided to put an end of their friendship. Methos decided to put the band together again, and both he and Kronos tracked the remaining members. [[Silas]] (played by [[Richard Ridings]]), the brutal but naive one, and [[Caspian]] (played by [[Marcus Testory]]), the insane one. [[Kronos]] had a plan to rule the world once again.
-In the end, during the episode [[Revelation 6:8]], Methos joined Duncan MacLeod to destroy the Horsemen. The two defeated the Horsemen together, resulting in a powerful "[[Double Quickening]]". Duncan killed Kronos, while Methos had to kill Silas, the only member of the Horsemen that he really liked. But it was too late to repair the friendship between himself and Duncan.
-==Grey World==
-Although Methos' friendship with Duncan was officially over, it didn't prevent the two from interacting where Methos would talk to Duncan about life. Amanda begged Methos to do something, because Duncan's outlook on life had been shattered by another immortal named [[Steven Keane]]. He shared Duncan MacLeod's black and white point of view, and it affected him in dealing with ''The Game''.[[Image:Hl04.jpg|left|170px|thumb|Black and White]]
-Methos wisely told a reluctant Duncan that life was not as simple as good and evil. There were always two sides of the same coin, and also a grey area in between. Methos claimed that he was not a perfect immortal, and there was no such thing as being perfect. An Immortal should just accept his life, and decide what was best for himself. Immortals also made mistakes, because they are just [[human beings]], and mistakes could be forgiven. And as immortals, they had their duty to play in the Game.
-Duncan's reluctance to compete in the Game affected him in many ways. He accidentally killed his own protege, [[Richie Ryan]], because he thought he saw an evil being called Ahriman posing as other people. He became more brooding, and tried to defeat Ahriman. In the end, he did defeat the evil being. But Methos had already disappeared again; not even Joe Dawson could find him.
-==Being Old and Wise==
-When Methos returned again, the following year in the episode of ''"Indiscretion''", he found himself being chased by an obssesive immortal named [[Morgan Walker]], who hated him for having an affair with his slave back 200 years ago. Methos had no other choice but to hide for the time being and look for some information from The Watcher's computer database. Joe Dawson was angry when he found out that Methos was back, only to try to save his own life by trying to hack into Joe's file, instead of explaining his whereabouts a year ago.
-Methos, in his own clever and manipulative way reminded Joe about his Watcher's oath, and that Joe had broken his own vows to help Duncan MacLeod, but not to Methos. That offended Joe and damaged their already shaky friendship. But Joe couldn't stay mad at Methos any longer, because he needed his help. Apparently a rookie Watcher named [[Amy Thomas]] was kidnapped by Morgan Walker, and apparently she was Joe Dawson's illegitimate daughter. Both Joe and Methos had to escape Morgan Walker's henchmen and try to save Amy. In the end, Methos bonded with Joe and defeated the evil immortal. Joe patched things up with his daughter, and also patched up his friendship with Methos. In this particular episode, fans thought there would be a spinoff based on this storyline; presumably a ''"Methos and Joe Show''" kind of series, but the idea of a spinoff never occured, so it was just a speculation.
-==The Alternative Version==
-Once when Duncan MacLeod was killed temporarily, he was thrown into another reality where [[Amanda]] was evil and got killed, [[Tessa]] was alive but unhappy, [[Hugh Fitzcairn|Fitz]] had died a long time ago, [[Joe Dawson|Joe]] was a bitter old man, [[Richie]] and Kronos were alive as evil immortals, the Watchers were killing the immortals, and Methos was just being evil.[[Image:peter11.gif|right|140px||thumb|Old immortal]]
-Alternate Methos had a lover named Jillian who was killed by the Watchers. It made alternate Methos swear revenge to all the Watchers. He gathered back the Four Horsemen and Richie, but the Watchers killed the members. He killed Richie who couldn't kill Joe Dawson, who was a member of the Watchers. Duncan MacLeod saw this and tried to stop all of it. He fought alternate Methos, and killed him. But seconds after Duncan killed alternate Methos, he returned to his original reality where Methos tried to wake him up.
-In the end, it was the wisdom of Methos that put Duncan MacLeod back again to The Game. Methos said that life was about changes, and about accepting who you are, good or bad.
-In 2005 Peter Wingfield recreated the role of Methos in the first installment of a trilogy of films. [[Highlander: The Source]], which is due for release in 2006, will follow the exploits of [[Duncan MacLeod]], [[Methos]] and other immortals and mortals as they search for the origins of immortality. .
