![]() Later in the 1990s, his friends Duncan MacLeod, Hugh Fitzcairn, and Richie Ryan learned of the Watchers and told certain trusted friends. ![]() An immortal priest named Darius somehow came into possession of a Watcher's journal and kept it with him for years. Despite this, they have occasionally been discovered by other immortals. Such a crime can lead to expulsion or even execution. It is considered a serious crime among the Watchers to falsify or omit vital information in their official records or to aid an immortal with killing other immortals. Such information could aid evil immortals in hunting others and could ultimately lead to an evil immortal winning the Prize. Secrecy also protects against corrupt immortals forcing Watchers to share sensitive information on other immortals. The Watchers are meant to keep their existence secret so that the general public does not hunt immortals out of fear and ignorance. Watchers are to observe and record the activities of immortals, not just their battles but their accomplishments and the lives they lead outside of the Game. In modern times, each Watcher has the symbol tattooed on the inner wrist, usually in blue ink. To identify each other, Watchers wore medallion decorated by the symbol of their organization. Different cells of Watchers were created all over the world to watch immortals in their respective areas. The organization was created by Ammaletu the Akkadian after he witnessed the warrior Gilgamesh coming back to life. It is said that once the last immortal has won the Prize, the Watchers will share their information with humanity and tell the world the truth about the immortal people who walked the Earth and helped shape history. We want the truth about immortals to survive, not a bunch of old wives' tales". When you get through all of life's crap, the only thing that matters is the truth. We observe, we record, but we never interfere. In the season 2 premiere episode of Highlander: The Series, "The Watchers", Joe Dawson explains the purpose of his organization: "For as long as your kind's been around, we've been watching. Since then, they became an integral part of the series and Duncan MacLeod's adventures, particularly the Watcher named Joe Dawson who became a series regular starting in season 2. Although Connor MacLeod hasn't won The Game yet, you can bet he'll be a force to reckon with when The Gathering finally comes.The secret organization of the Watchers was introduced in the season 1 finale of Highlander: The Series as a cliffhanger for the subsequent season. The legendary Ramirez, his first teacher, helped show him how to strike a balance between serious Game player and lover of life. There are a few things that can penetrate his serious exterior - the Scottish Highlands, the sea, and "good women." Connor venerates his first wife, Heather, but that has not prevented him from finding love several times since. Unlike his younger kinsman, Connor keeps his thoughts and feelings very much to himself, although occasionally he will let a smile or his trademark staccato laugh slip out. He respects its rules and its nuances, and is always calculating, staying one step ahead of his opponents. The elder MacLeod is a very serious player of the Immortal Game, and a good one. In a memo evidently penned at some point prior to the New York City Gathering of 1985, Dana Brook offered up some of his own personal thoughts and feelings regarding the elder Highlander, and his status in the Immortal Game: Presumably Connor dropped off of the Watcher organization's active surveillance list after entering into the custody of the splinter faction, although if Brook received a subsequent Immortal assignment to observe, it is not presently known. Watcher, previously assigned to the Connor MacLeod Chroniclesĭana Brook is a mortal and a Watcher, referenced in The Watcher's Chronicles CD-ROM and DVD supplements.ĭana served as primary Watcher of Immortal Connor MacLeod from 1985 until 1994, at which point the elder MacLeod entered into the Watcher Sanctuary following the onslaught of Jacob Kell against Connor's friends and family members.
