For Connor MacLeod...Happy 481st Birthday, and may you have many, many more! Here's to a man, though dark and brooding captures hearts with his charming smile; his piercing eyes so greatly suiting his sharp wit and unique sense of style.

The loneliness that plagues his life is locked in his Immortal soul, and amplified through loss and strife -- all these years have taken their toll.

To love would be heartbreaking sin -- his teacher Ramirez told him so. Yet he could not help but stop and listen to his heart and to his soul.

And so he stayed by Heather's side through years of love and married life right up until the day she died -- then Connor laid to rest his wife.

Now centuries have come and passed, and he's loved again -- well, here and there, embodying the loneliness that we've all known, and we've all shared.

To friends, to loves, and to his clan his loyalty is beyond reproach; he has no fear of any man when defending those he loves the most.

He only fights when there is no choice, but when battle's fought and battle's won, don't be surprised to hear his voice: "There can be only one."
