Connor Macleod, the Highlander

Have you ever come across a question who is Immortals?
Immortals are human beings, who cannot be killed unless they are beheaded. They can heal any wound, cure any disease, and overcome the burnings. They are born with potential to be immortal, aging and living as normal human beings do, until their immortality is awakened by the shock of an unnatural death, at which time they will awaken as fully immortal and cease to age.
Have you ever seen the movie “Highlander”? Yes, that where you seen the Immortals: Connor MacLeod and Kurgan. Connor Macleod, the Highlander, was born in the Scottish Highlands in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Sheil in January of 1518. He was killed in 1536 during a battle between the Clan Macleod and the Fraser clan. The Kurgan, an immortal from the Russian Steppes, ended Macleod's mortality with a Broadsword thrust to the stomach.

Throughout the centuries MacLeods have been known for their devotion to their chief, the tenacity with which they have maintained the ancient Dunvegan castle, their appreciation of music and Gaelic lore, their outstanding record in the professions, and their loyalty to one another.

The Macleod origins can be traced to Leod, who was born about 1200, the son of Olaf the Black, King of Man and the Isles. Originally a rock fortress founded about eight and a half centuries ago, Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of Skye in Invernesshire, Scotland, has grown and changed over the years until today it is a beautiful and historic castle - the oldest continuously inhabited stronghold in the British Isles, the home of the Chief and the symbolic clan home to MacLeods around the world. Today MacLeod Clan has a lot of members in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and USA.

One of the clan's most treasured relics is the Fairy Flag of Dunvegan. It is said to have been woven by fairies and to possess magical properties. It has been kept at Dunvegan for centuries and is said to bring luck and fortune to the Clan MacLeod. During World War II the young men from the Clan MacLeod carried pictures of the Fairy Flag in their wallets while fighting, and not one of them was lost in the battle. That is probably where the idea of immortality started.

The movie “Highlander” explores history through the eyes of an immortal, who never wanted to live forever, he simply wanted to love, have children, and grow old with his wife, whom he loved more than anything. It's a tragedy really. Macleod is nearly a tragic hero, his fault being his own immortality. “Highlander” is a strange amalgam of love, hate, pain, and humanity. By becoming the last immortal, Connor MacLeod has more than saved the world - he has saved himself. He has given himself something he was deprived of, a real life.
