The Kurgan was the worst of the worst. He was born around 1000 BC near the Caspian Sea and raised by farmers. When his father smashed his head and killed him, Kurgan became Immortal. Later he killed his father and joined a group that raided caravans. Soon he met an Immortal, who taught him who he was. The Kurgan eventually took the head of the Bedouin Arab, his mentor. He traveled across Africa, Europe and Asia, killing indiscriminately in an attempt to be the one to win the Prize. Over the centuries, he became one of the strongest Immortals. The Kurgan made Connor MacLeod Immortal in the battle between the Frasiers and the MacLeods in 1536. In 1985 Connor took his head.
