Kanis in 1785
running down other Immortals or, occasionally mortals, so that he could kill them with ease.
In the year 1785, he was hunting a boy who had thrown rocks at his dogs, and Duncan MacLeod interfered and killed one of them. Kanis wanted to take revenge, but was arrested by the guards at the order of the Duchess MacLeod worked for.
That night the dogs tried to free Kanis and killed a man. The Duchess ordered Kanis executed. He swore to take revenge against Duncan someday, and kicked the horse away, effectively hanging himself.
Kanis was buried in a shallow grave, the Duchess intending his body be easy for animals to eat, but he revived to join his waiting dogs.
Revenge[]
In 1995, Kanis tracked down and beheaded the Immortal, David Coleman, with the aid of his dogs. Shortly thereafter he planned his revenge against Duncan MacLeod. Kanis sent one of his dogs to let Duncan know that he was after him. Duncan met Kanis at a cemetery and challenged him to a fight, Kanis answered that he would face him soon enough. He left his dogs menacing Duncan.
A few days later, Duncan left his sword in his car when he went jogging. He found himself surrounded by Kanis' dogs. He managed to escape, but one dog was hit by a truck and died.
The next day, Kanis appeared at a dog kennel and talked with Miss Meach, the owner. He tried to force her to sell him a female Rottweiler coming into heat. Duncan arrived at the kennel, and Kanis quickly left. After MacLeod asked Meach if she was all right, he followed Kanis to a nearby park.
Duncan challenged Kanis again, but Kanis pointed to a boy who was petting one of his dogs, and said that it would kill him if he only thought the command. He taunted MacLeod and walked away. Duncan got back to the kennel and learned that Kanis had wanted to buy a breeding Rottweiler called Lucille.
Final Fight[]
Duncan was at his house restoration project when he sensed another Immortal. Kanis, led with his dogs again to attack him. Duncan quickly opened a door and revealed his secret weapon:Lucille, who was in heat. Kanis's dogs right went to her, and Duncan closed the door. Kanis, furious, immediately attacked MacLeod, who, of course had planned the encounter, and got to his sword in time.
Kanis retreated outside and tried to run down the slope. Before he could get away, Duncan jumped in the air, twisted over Kanis's head, and beheaded him as he landed.
Personality[]
Kanis meets MacLeod on holy ground
Peter Kanis was a probable sociopath, who had no feelings for people at all, only his dogs whom he used to tip contests in his favor, he also used them as a shield when another Immortal tried to attack him. He had a very eccentric way of dressing, seeing himself as incredibly cool when what he was was a coward.
