- IMHO, some of the Immortals may have been aware of their purpose and the
- "rules" (holy ground, the distant land, etc) from when they were born.
- MacCloud didn't seem to realise he was immortal until he was shown by
- Ramirez. Others might have varied in how much they "knew" from birth.

- BTW, I haven't seen H2 and I don't intend to. As far as I'm concerned,
- H1 is canon, H2 is not (from what I've read). If there is a H3, I'd
- prefer to see a story using the same ideas from H1 but with different
- characters and set in a different time. More details on how many
- Immortals there were and other detail would be interesting, no?
