Answer: Methos

Methos is the oldest living Immortal, believed by many to be legend. He took his first head approximately 5000 years ago. Before that, 'it all starts to blur.'

2. Name the episode in which Peter's character says the following line: 'Because the alternative is unthinkable.'

He uses this line twice. Once when he first tries to ask Alexa out, then again later when he's trying to convince her to travel around the world with him before she dies.

3. In which episode does Peter's character first reveal his Immortality to a MORTAL?

Known as Watcher Adam Pierson by most people, he reveals his Immortality to Christine Salzer, wife of a murdered Watcher, who plans to reveal everything about Immortals and the Game to the press. She has a copy of the Watcher Chronicles on CD-ROM.

4. Peter's character rode as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse during the Bronze Age. Which one was he?

Pestilence was Kronos -- he was fond of viruses. It's never clarified who Silas and Caspian were, but tall, skinny, Caspian was probably Famine, while shorter, stocky Silas was probably War.

5. What is the name of the woman with whom Peter's character falls in love in the episode 'Timeless'?
