Pallin Wolf was a mortal and a former Watcher who joined James Horton in his break away group called The Hunters.
Biography[]
Wolf was from Seattle where he received an MA from the Polytechnic Institute of Virginia and would later use the cover of architect once he had been recruited to the Watcher organization by his mentor, James Horton. He was graduated from the Watcher Academy Class of 1984, ranked 1 out of 103.
Despite participating in hunting Immortals, he killed because he would get away with it. He did not fear Immortals, unlike Horton and he called Immortals "freaks" instead of "abominations." Like Richard Belson, the "special assignment" was a cover for his true actions.
Hunt[]
One of the last of the Hunters, Wolf and his associates, including Billy, kidnapped the loved ones of Immortals in order to draw them out and force them in a one-sided battle in a pitch black room. There, Wolf was equipped with a sword and night-vision goggles, allowing him to easily take his opponent's head in the darkness. One of his victims included James Vincent.
Wolf chose Duncan MacLeod as his next target, having his associates lure him away from his shop, then tasering his friend Richie Ryan and abducting his girlfriend, Tessa. He kept Tessa tied up at his house and then phoned Duncan, not caring that Duncan knew it was a trap since he would come anyway. Making him sweat would increase the tension. Tessa did manage to escape the house but was unable to attract the attention of a passerby, and Wolf quickly recaptured her.
Despite Wolf's cynicism, he was enraged when Billy fell to his death during an encounter with MacLeod, saying Billy had believed in what they were doing.
Death[]
Wolf phoned Richie and told him where he was. When Richie turned up, Wolf knocked him out, then entered his kill room to await MacLeod. Again, he donned the night-vision goggles and turned the lights out, preparing to kill MacLeod in the darkness.
Managing to defend himself and score a lucky strike on Wolf's face, MacLeod managed to ignite a book of matches, momentarily blinding Wolf and short-circuiting the goggles. In the light from the matches, MacLeod easily ran Wolf through with his sword, before leaving him to bleed to death.
Trivia[]
- Wolf used a Kris Broadsword, ironically, it looked just like Grayson's. It is quite possible that it is his, the Watchers could have collected the sword from the sulfur processing facility where the duel between him and Duncan took place. They did that previously with the axe of Caleb Cole.
- His skill set included hunting and sharp shooter, as well as basic Japanese.
- Andrew Jackson, who played Wolf, returned in the spin-off, Highlander: The Raven, playing Darryl Keenan.
