THE VAMPIRE
MacLeod comes up against Nicholas
Ward, an Immortal who conceals his murders by disguising them as
popular hysterias. In the 1840s, Ward created a vampire myth in order
to conceal the true motive behind his killing the owners of a business
he wanted. Mac managed to prevent Ward from marrying (and murdering)
the heiress, but Ward escaped. In the present, Mac teams up with Joe
Dawson to discover what Ward is up to and protect the young woman he's
set his sights on this time.

France
Duncan encounters Ward for the first time. |
Other Immortals
| Nicholas Ward |
Trivia
| Fans of the Vicar of Dibley will recognise
Trevor Peacock, who plays Jim Trott in the BBC comedy, as a business
associate of Duncan's in the 19th Century. |
| Jeremy Brudenell returns to the Highlander
universe as Robert de Valicourt in the fourth-season episode,
D19, 'Till Death'. His bleached
hairstyle in this episode adds credence to the rumour that the part
of Ward was originally written for Billy Idol. |
| I am Keeper for the bleach in Ward's hair at the
now-defunct (but still online) Highlander Adoption Agency, and you
can see my entry
here. |
Verdict
Love Ward's blonde hairstyle, but that aside this is an entertaining
episode, although you have to wonder how some of these Immortals have
survived so long! B-
