Carter Wellan was an Immortal, who was weak at the Game despite his age.
Biography[]
Wellan suffered his first death in AD 1072 when a delivery of goods he brought to London was attacked by bandits. His mentor was the Immortal, Haresh Clay.
They remained together over 900 years, taking part together in a hundred campaigns on five continents.
MacLeod's Ire[]
Carter, with his teacher and friend, Haresh Clay back in 1657.
In 1657, Clay and Wellan were in Northern Italy, where they were guests of a count. They left the Count prematurely when Carter dared to win at darts against the half-blind count.
Along the road, they met the Immortal Graham Ashe, whom Clay challenged. Wellan looked on as his mentor and friend beheaded Ashe, while Ashe's young pupil, Duncan MacLeod, observed helplessly, who was mocked, when sought refuge on holy ground at the direction of his teacher.
Death[]
In 1996, the pair lived in Chicago. That June, they traveled to Seacouver where they were to meet in a bar, but before Clay came, the young Immortal, Richie Ryan arrived. Unbeknownst to Wellan, Richie was the pupil of MacLeod.
Carter in 1996, about to face off with Richie.
He reacted angrily to Wellan's slightly arrogant humor and challenged him. Wellan agreed to fight, even though he saw no need for it. He gave Richie the option to walk away, but the younger Immortal said they had to fight.
It came as a surprise that his centuries of experience came in second to the combination of good training and unbridled anger. Not only did he lose the duel, but he was humiliated and brought to his knees by Richie, who then took his head.
Weapon[]
Wellan wielded a two-handed Spanish long sword, "...he opted for speed and maneuverability...while big, the sword was quite elegant. From the burgundy suede and wire wrapped handle, to the brass quillons and duel ring guard, it's obvious he chose it for its form as well as function."
