BLACK TOWER
400 years ago, Devon Marek was a spoiled aristocrat with a passion for
the hunt. His first teacher, Duncan MacLeod, forced him to give up his
lands and title when he became Immortal - and Marek's never forgiven
him for it. Today Marek has built his own empire - and now hunts his
most dangerous prey: MacLeod.

Flashbacks
| 1634, Willoughby
Estates, Scotland
Devon Marek is killed during a hunt. After 'dying' in MacLeod's
arms, he is furious when Mac tries to bury him and he revives. |
Other Immortals
| Devon Marek |
Trivia
| Marek was the first pre-Immortal Mac sensed,
although he only realised this after Marek was killed and he'd
inadvertently buried him. Comments made by Mac at the time show that
Connor had taught him about pre-Immortals. |
| Alexi Kaye Campbell played in Salman Rushdie's
Midnight Children across the UK in 2003 - I saw him in Bath. |
| Favourite quote:
"What you sensed was greatness." (Devon)
"What I sensed, you pompous ass, was immortality." (Duncan) |
Verdict
Great flashback scene, perfectly tying in with the Highlander
timeline. If only the present-day scenes had been any better.
C+
