Born in the Highlands of Scotland in 1592, Duncan was mortally wounded in battle and was banished from his family and village soon after. He was taken under wing by his elder kinsman Connor MacLeod. Through the centuries, Duncan has been taught by many brilliant masters over the years, some Immortal as well as mortal. One such teacher was Hideo Koto, a mortal. It was Hideo who taught him his skills in martial arts as well as the owner of the katana which MacLeod bears now. Duncan, unlike his elder kinsman, does not chase after the game, but instead waits for others to come to him. Another fact that makes Duncan stand out is his unwillingness to take on other names. For this reason, Duncan's name turns up through all the years. Duncan is a great warrior and for that reason is felt to probably be the one to win the prize. That almost didn't hold water after he encountered the " Dark Quickening", after killing Kol-T'ek. It is still a mystery to us as to how he survived it. There is a rumor that he was spotted in a holy cavaran, but we have no facts on that matter. Duncan has also had many loves, but none so special to him as Tessa Noel, who was killed along with Richard Ryan in a mugging. Since that time, he has befriended many other mortals, but his current love interest appears to be the deceptive and seductive Immortal thief, Amanda. Duncan is still a participant in the game and still seeks out "The Prize".
