They do this because they do not care if they themselves survive, as long as a Good Immortal wins the Prize and not an evil one. <P>A good example is Rebecca Horne, whose whole existance (well, at least from the 9th century and on) was based on teaching new Immortals how to survive and fight. She taught one of them (Luther) too well, because he came back and killed her. <P>Older Immortals can "sense" a pre-Immortal. This is why MacLeod "adopted" Richie in a sense ... he knew that Richie would become an Immortal. <P>Now, how Kurgan knew who Connor was before they met, I don't know ... but older Immies have been known to have strange powers, and maybe Kurgan was psychic (for example, Roland Kantos had the *voice* and Cassandra had *prophecy*). A more reasonable explanation is that Kurgan either passed through the Glenfinnen a few years earlier and "sensed" pre-Immie Connor (a sense of honor perhaps kept Kurgan from killing Connor then), or another Immortal (a student, a friend) of Kurgan's sensed Connor and told Kurgan about him. <P>Or, an Immie told Ramirez about a Scottish pre-Immie named Connor MacLeod, and somehow Kurgan found out and went to Scotland to take MacLeod's Quickening and find Ramirez (the two have a LONG past with each other, in case you hadn't noticed). <P>This isn't all that unexpected: Duncan encounters an Immortal hermit who was waited in a cave for six hundred years to meet Duncan, for the sole purpose of giving Duncan his head to help in the "upcoming battle" against Ahriman (a Persian demon).<P>Also, Cassandra was in the Donan Woods near Glenfinnen for a century or two, waiting for the Immortal child born on the winter solstace, who would in time, kill the Immortal Roland Kantos. <P>Panzer/Davis are the the Executive Producers of Highlander and The Series.

I assume it's because they have so much experience (having killed six hundred odd immortals in duels must mean you are good with a sword, eh?) Is there another reason? Do they heal up faster with the higher charges of quickening inside them? Perhaps they possess the knowledge and skill of the other warriors? Even the stamina?
