James Horton (Highlander)

James Horton is a major villain in Highlander : The Series, and the closest thing Duncan Macleod had to a true archenemy. The pain his activities caused for Macleod and his friends cannot be discounted.

Unlike most of Macleod's major foes, Horton was mortal, a renegade of the secret organization of Immortal observers, The Watchers. It is said by some that his time as Watcher for the brutal immortal Kurgan, archenemy to Duncan's kinsman Connor Macleod poisoned both his soul and his view of Immortals. He had married into Joe Dawson's family, and used him to gain access to the files of other Immortals. Forming The Hunters from other disaffected Watchers, Horton began a reign of terror meant to ensure that no Immortal ever took the Prize meant for the last one of their kind.
