[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] The first episode was probably a hitman named Johnny Kaye (a play on how lots of bad guy Immortals have names that begin with the "K" sound, often nicknamed "K'Immies")whom Duncan first "found", but who never wanted to learn the rules. He just watched a couple pirate movies, and was an easy kill for Duncan. The other possibility is Xavier St. Cloud, who upon his second appearance joined forces with the renegade Watcher Horton and used a couple of mercenaries to kill his victims with machine guns before he beheaded them. Neither was strictly against the rules - though the latter can be interpreted as a violation of the "one on one" rule. "Oh, look, an Immortal riddled with bullets. Hell, *I* didn't do it - dibs!" There've been at least three additional instances where Immortals first threaten to shoot Duncan, then gladly drop their guns and pull out the pointy sticks. There have also been instances of Immortals ganging up on a victim - there was the Immortal Gavriel Larca, who went around masquerading as "God" and recruiting new Immortals by feigning responsibility for their "resurrection" as Angels of the Lord. They didn't know any better, and ended up going around killing Immortals and letting "God" take their heads. It seems that except for the holy ground rule, everything else is really just tradition. According to the Watchers, the only recorded instance of Immortals fighting on holy ground ocurred in the city of Pompeii around 79 A.D. . I question how you can record the fight given what happened, and there's no solid proof that it was a result of Immortal combat, but hey... According to Joe, it's only a legend. Mark PS - The dog trainer guy was Peter Kanis, who had an instinctive affinity with dogs in a basically telepathic way. There have been rare instances of Immortals who have non-standard abilities, like a guy who could project his dreams into other Immortals, or a guy who could use his voice to disorient victims. It also works detrimentally though - there was Kit O'Brady, an Immortal who sensed other Immies not by the "buzz" sensory sound effect, but by his allergies. He sneezed whenever another one came by!
