Sharif Garmon
Danny Cimoli was born in 1969, and raised by an Italian mother in Paris. He was an amateur magician and wanted to be in the big time. His mother, Lina Cimoli, who considered Danny's equipment toys, tried to help him get a job. After he blew off a job interview, she became frustrated with him and threw his props out the window into the street. When he went out to get his things, a truck hit him and killed him. A few minutes later, he revived as an Immortal.Danny joined the circus, becoming a big act, calling himself "The Immortal Cimoli", not actually knowing he was Immortal, until he met Duncan MacLeod and Amanda, who had gone to the circus to see the show. Duncan and Amanda sensed the presence of another Immortal, and realized that Danny was one of them. Danny's act consisted in being shot and coming back to life. Duncan and Amanda went to visit him after the show, realizing that he was new to the Game. They told him about being Immortal, and what it entailed. He was so overwhelmed with such built in safeties, that he believed that he could become bigger than Harry Houdini.
That night, Danny sensed the presence of another Immortal, Damon Case, who challenged him to a duel. He wasn't ready to face Case, telling him he didn't even own a sword yet. He fled to Duncan's barge and told him about Case. Duncan had encountered Case before when Case had killed another new immortal, a student of MacLeod's.
Duncan tried to talk to Case about Danny, but Case was inflexible, immortals - no matter how young or inexperienced - were there to challenge and fight. Danny called the police in an effort to prevent Duncan from losing his head, interrupting the confrontation.
After Case's death, Duncan visited Danny who asked him to help him in a trick. Danny cuffed Duncan and pulled out a sword. He nearly took Duncan's head, but Duncan got free of the cuffs. Danny had wanted to take Duncan's head so he would have the strength to defeat Damon Case, but Duncan told Danny that he had taken care of Case. Danny felt guilty for what he had planned to do.
Danny took the booking in Las Vegas, and after doing his show, was last seen being threatened by Immortal Vrej Ratavoussian in the building's parking lot, while he was talking to his mother on a cell phone. Sensing the other, he told his mother that he loved her. According to the Watcher Chronicle (Highlander: The Series Season 4 Extras), Danny lost his head and his Quickening in that meeting.
I never noticed the homosexual undertones in some aspects of the Highlander-verse until now, but since you laid them out I can definitely see what you mean. This puts Highlander in the company of a lot of great literature that tapped into sexual taboos in metaphorical ways.
Even Dragonball Z does it to a very minimal and simplistic extent. Later in the series, male characters reach the highest levels of power by wearing earrings and sprouting long hair. Aside from this, Gokou and Vegeta (the primary rivals) seem to think about each other more than they think about their significant others, and they get out their frustration by physically fighting each other.
Hehe :)
I didn't notice it when I was younger either, but I love that Highlander does touch upon some of the unconventional relationships of the immortals with maturity and honestly. Today I'm sure there would be an obvious, sexing it up approach.
I like the way the immortals were explored as people all around. Good stuff. :)
Highlander: The Series was originally created to carry on directly from the movies with Paul playing the same character Christopher Lambert had played in the movie, but early in development, Paul requested that a new character be created to avoid direct comparisons with Lambert and to allow him to develop his own character. Consequently, Duncan MacLeod is introduced in the pilot episode as Connor MacLeod's clansman and pupil, and the series focuses on his own life over four centuries.
The show does not tell Duncan's story in chronological order. Instead, the primary sequence of events is set in a present time which actually corresponds to the years during which the six seasons were filmed, i.e. 1992-1998, and extensive use of flashbacks is made to show Duncan's memories and their implications in present time.
It is established in the pilot episode "The Gathering,"[1] set in 1992, that Duncan is almost 400 years old and thus was born in 1592 during a battle in Glenfinnan, Scotland to a woman who had been part of an army engaged in attacking the Scottish Highlands.[citation needed]
In the second episode, "Family Tree", Duncan's father and Chieftain of Clan MacLeod, Ian MacLeod, states that the newborn Duncan was a foundling given to his wife Mary to replace the stillborn son she had delivered, and raised to be his successor.
The same episode also shows how Duncan is brought home fatally wounded in battle, dies in front of his father, and awakens with his wounds completely healed. Because his family believes his resurrection is a sign of witchcraft, he is cast out from his clan after being disowned by his adoptive father.[2] The Watcher Chronicle of this episode states that it happens in 1622 during a dispute with the Clan Campbell.[3]
The Series' various flashbacks show Duncan live through many adventures across four centuries, including visiting Renaissance France[citation needed] and Italy ("The Hunters"), traveling to China ("The Road Not Taken")[5], witnessing the French Revolution [citation needed], becoming a Sioux warrior ("The Gathering")[1], fighting in World War I ("For Tomorrow We Die") and II ("Mortal Sins"), and generally fighting for justice against evil. In 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo, he meets Immortal Darius who has rejected war, and never fights in war as a soldier again.[citation needed] The Series especially focuses on adventures shared with friends Amanda and Hugh "Fitz" Fitzcairn.
During his life, Duncan meets and learns many things from many people that mold him to become a great Immortal. He meets many other Immortals: some become mentors, some become friends and some become enemies. Beginning as a reckless, uneducated, and somewhat arrogant man, he gradually changes and matures as he travels the world until he becomes the wise, educated and compassionate character of present times. He is an expert in many subjects, fluent in many languages (Gaelic, English, French, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, German, and Arabic) and skilled in many forms of martial arts. He has had many occupations including soldier, bodyguard, newspaper editor, World War I ambulance driver, chauffeur, and World War II Resistance fighter. More recently he is an antiques dealer, a dojo owner and a part-time History teacher.
1992-1998 is a critical period for Duncan. Being the years during which the Series was filmed, they are also the years in which the Series' "present time" is set and thus depict many important events in his life. The pilot episode "The Gathering" shows Duncan returning to The Game after a period of semi-retirement with his girlfriend Tessa Nol and a meeting with clansman and mentor Connor MacLeod[1]. Across the Series Duncan meets many old friends and enemies again, many old debts are repaid between them and Duncan kills many Immortals. He loses people he cares about, including Tessa, the love of his life ("The Darkness"), Immortal friends Darius ("The Hunters") and Hugh Fitzcairn ("Star-Crossed"), and mortal friend Charlie DeSalvo ("Brothers in Arms"). He befriends Richie Ryan ("The Gathering")[1], mentors him after his First Death ("The Darkness") and teaches him the ways of the Immortals, then accidentally kills him in 1997 ("Archangel"). He meets Joe Dawson, who reveals to him that there is an organization known as The Watchers who secretly observes all Immortals ( "The Watchers"). He also meets Methos, the legendary oldest Immortal ("Methos"), and eventually defeats the demon Ahriman ("Armageddon").
Because Highlander was a syndicated series including European producers [citation needed], the first part of each season was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia and the second part in Paris, France. This is why Duncan travels back-and-forth every six months.
In Highlander: Endgame, it is revealed that Immortal Jacob Kell has spent the last four centuries killing all people close to Connor MacLeod because Connor had killed Kell's adoptive father. He also gathered a posse of Immortals who would overpower other Immortals, allowing Kell to then enter and take their heads. In the 1990s, Connor hid in a place called The Sanctuary, where Immortals were protected from The Game by the Watchers. Ten years after Rachel's death, Kell attacked the Sanctuary, and Connor was believed to be dead along with the other Immortals sheltered there. Duncan has visions of this evil act and investigates. He discovers Connor had been spared by Kell, so as to make his life even more of a misery. Kell wants to kill Duncan only to agonize Connor further, and given the number of Quickenings he has received, he would succeed in doing so. Therefore, Connor forces Duncan to kill him, to absorb his power, thereby enabling Duncan to defeat Kell. Duncan once again has to lose a friend but in the end he understands that Connor's death was necessary and it was the only possible way for him to kill Kell. Duncan buried Connor in the Scottish Highlands, in Glencoe, next to his first wife Heather's remains.
In Highlander: The Source, Duncan has married a mortal woman named Anna, and has since separated from her. He is reunited with her at the Elder's monastery, and he joins in the quest to reach the Source after the death of Joe Dawson. As he grows close to the Source, he becomes mortal along with the other Immortals in the group (which includes Methos). Soon after making love to Anna, he overcomes the Guardian and enters the Source with her. She reveals to him that she is pregnant with their child.
