| back story -- all the stuff that he did before he came to the show - ie: kinda like the flashbacks in Highlander -- Methos is now a 'myth' and Adam Pierson is his 'alter-ego' who is a grad student and a Watcher (this has changed, but you get the idea), and we learn that prior to the time when Duncan meets Methos, he was a member of a band of immortals known as the Four Horsemen - he was a really bad dude - raping and pillaging across many miles of land - but now he's a good guy and doesn't do the rape and pillage thing anymore -- backstory ---
so - the stuff about Cole's family - his mother and such- is part of his 'backstory' --
do we know anything about his father? or is his father the demon, thus giving Cole his 'demon' half?? |
