Duncan MacLeod and the Future[]
In a possible future where parts of the world had fallen into chaos a new group of Immortals started to search for The Source. At some point after the year A.D. 2012, The Guardian was awoken due to the planetary alignment beginning. He tracked down and beheaded Zai Jie, who had discovered its location. He wore a protective metal collar which prevented decapitation which disappeared after he took Zai's Quickening. He then fought with Duncan MacLeod. However, the fight was broken off by Joe Dawson, who shot the Highlander and dragged him into his vehicle and escaped.
He then started to hunt down MacLeod and the other Immortals during their quest for The Source. When confronted by Macleod he threw his katana sword directly into the Guardians neck. Unfased by his injury he promptly putting it out of his neck, snapped Duncan dragonhead katana in half after used it to kill Joe Dawson before running of laughing at supernatural speed.
Later in the groups journey he killed Reggie Weller using his using his extreme speed and strength and decapitated Cardinal Giovanni. However as they had lost their immortality due to their proximity to the Source the Guardian did not receive Giovanni's quickening and it was lost.
In the end, he was defeated by MacLeod during their final fight at the threshold-nexus of The Source. Buried up to his shoulders in sand and unable to escape he taunted Duncan to take his head with the deaths of Joe Dawson and Reggie Weller. The Highlander refused to behead him and the Guardian disappeared into a bright light and was destroyed screaming he was "Cursed Forever."
Duncan as a result earned mortality as a final reward and joined his wife Anna in the Source.
