 Connor
MacLeod was born in the year 1518 "in the village of Glenfinnan
on the shores of Loch Shiel." In 1536, his clan is in conflict
with the Clan
Fraser, and Connor rides along into his first battle. The Frasers are
working with a towering monster of a man known as The Kurgan
who has recognized that Connor is a fellow Immortal, and hopes to use
the battle to kill
Connor before he becomes aware of his abilities. On the battlefield,
Connor
wonders why none of the Fraser's forces will attack him, until he comes
across
the Kurgan and is struck by an odd pain (from sensing the proximity of
another
immortal). This leaves him open to attack.
The
Kurgan mortally wounds Connor and prepares to decapitate him, but the
MacLeod's
kinsmen intervene just before this occurs, with the Kurgan vowing to
return.
The clan mourn Connor, but he miraculously revives shortly after his
'death'.
Accusing him of witchcraft, Connor's clansmen beat him and prepare to
burn
him, but his cousin Angus persuades them to exile Connor instead. He
escapes
with his life, but is banished forever from his clan and birthplace.
