abstract
  • Lord Byron, once one of the most scandalous poets of the 19th Century, is a rock star in the late 20th century. Methos had been his friend and mentor when the poet's suicide in 1815 triggered his immortality. His unrestrained life leads him to seduce another immortal's wife and his first challenge, one he isn't quite ready for. By fighting dirty, he manages to win though he was killed in the process and the quickening which hit him while he was still dead was witnessed by Mary Shelley inspiring her book, 'Frankenstein'. When Byron, whose debauchery and drug abuse have only increased with time, lures an up-and-coming musician Mike Paladini under Joe Dawson's tutelage into a fatal binge, Dawson's musical protégé overdosed leading to his untimely death. Methos very reluctantly realizes that his former pupil is beyond hope, and MacLeod fights Byron to the death.
