About Summer Summer Lei Shidler
Expertise
I have been watching both Highlander: The Series and Forever Knight since they began airing. I have every episode of both series on tape, and have watched them more times than I can count. I know the history of most of the characters and I have the Watcher Chronicles CD in two versions, so anything I don`t know offhand, I can look up. I can answer questions about plots, characters, episodes and some cast members.

Highlander - Immortal (becoming one)


Expert: Summer Summer Lei Shidler - 2/27/2002

Question
Can you answer this? Immortals are born immortal and continue to age until they first "die". If an immortal never initially "dies" will he/she then eventually die of old age? And if they die of old age, do they become immortal as a really old, sick person? Or do they simple really die and cease to exist? Thanks.

Answer
Immortals are only different from humans after their initial death (other than their impotence), so if another Immortal never took them on as a student, the pre-immortal could possibly live to old age, but would be unlikely to last long as an immortal, since others would be quick to take the head of such a weak competitor.  For the most part, Immortals are between 25 and 55, with a very few exceptions.  Let me know if this covers everything or you have more questions.
