Willie Kingsley is an Immortal and a conman. Willie aimed for the wealthiest people to scam. In the late 1800s in London, Willie and his friend Duncan MacLeod were talking to one another before Willie faced off with an aristocrat in a duel with pistols ending up with Willie getting shot dead. Willie explained to MacLeod that everyone was happier that way, he must leave town, but with the 100,000 pounds he'd embezzled, and the man he'd cheated got the satisfaction of killing him in defense of honor.
