Charles Browning was born in the year 1335 in York, England. He was a foundling child, raised by a loving family and he became a farmer. During his lifetime he was married at least three times. He took in orphaned children from the local parish orphanages. It was once said the he was the father of one hundred children.
Not only was he a farmer but also a warrior who knew how to fight. He was involved in many wars both in his native England, France and the Low Countries. When civil war broke out in England tragedy would befall him when, after the Battle of Marston Moor, he returned to his home to find his wife murdered by a troop of Royalists and two of his adoptive sons also dead, killed defending her. Outraged, he took his revenge against Royalists with brutality. By this point he became a cynical, bitter person who stopped caring for anything or anyone. At the age of 46, he was killed during a peasant uprising where he, along with the others, were protesting against unfair taxes. He awoke from his first death as an Immortal. He was soon found by fellow Immortal Robert Locksley who taught him about The Game.
When he met Duncan MacLeod in the 18th century, Browning was a proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing. He rescued MacLeod from a local sheriff who had captured the Highlander poaching game from the King's forest, then spent that night drinking with the Highlander. All of it was only a ruse to lower Duncan's mental guard, however, as Browning, a born opportunist, planned to take the Highlander's head while his opponent was still the worse for drink. MacLeod's training and swift reflexes saved him from Browning's sneak attack the following morning, MacLeod's swordsmanship proved the better, and Browning lost his head.
