Where They're From: the movie Higlander: Endgame
Reasons for Joining the League: After the most recent incident with a being known as Kell, Kate needed something to help with her immortal life, some way to occupy her immortality. So, she joined the League in hopes of mending her relationship with the world, and perhaps some of the people in it.
Personality: Kate is a confident individual, who is more often than not prone to speak her mind. Though she makes it seem as if she has no regrets, she is forever haunted by her past, in particular her death and rebirth as an immortal at the the hands of her former husband, Duncan.
Powers: Not really a power, but, years of experience. Her body can heal any wound, save decapitation, and astonishingly quickly. She can recover from a gunshot wound within minutes, as if it never happened.
Abilities: Along with her immortality, Kate has over two centuries worth of experience with a sword.
Weaponry: As one of the Immortals, Kate generally carries but one weapon: a sword. It has remained with her throughout her immortal life, and she uses it as such. As a backup, just in case something should happen with her sword, she keeps hidden on her person a small dagger, as well.

History: Kate MacLeod was born in the late 1600's, in Ireland. Her family, while by no means of the nobility, were wealthy enough, and her life was comfortable. In 1712, while she and her company were being accosted by a pair of thieves, she met and was saved by a man by the name of Duncan MacLeod. Impressed by his swordsmanship and drawn by his roguish personality, Kate eventually fell in love with him. Later that year, she and Duncan were married. It was discovered by her new husband, thanks to an old friend, that Kate was an immortal. However, her immortality could not be triggered by anything besides the shock of a violent death. Thinking he was doing what was best for the both of them, Duncan stabbed her on their wedding night. When she awoke from her 'death', shocked and afraid, Kate fled from him. Over the next two and a half centuries, she grew to hate Duncan for forcing immortality upon her, and robbing her of anything resembling a normal life. She dropped off the radar for years, continuing in anonymity to go about the 'game', fighting and killing any Immortals who came for her. She emerged in 2000, her appearance updated, under the name of Faith.
She joined a renegade immortal named Jacob Kell, who, in his search for revenge on another, was breaking the rules of the Immortal 'game,' slaughtering any he could find, except those he chose to follow him. Kate met Duncan again during Kell's reign of terror, and slowly began to fall for him again. Upon realizing her 'treachery,' as well as the dissent among his group, Kell slaughtered his followers during a meeting. It was believed that 'Faith' was killed along with the others, but after Duncan finished off Kell in a final battle, he discovered Kell had allowed Kate to live. Though she had slowly begun to come to grips with her past and with what Duncan did, she could not stay with him. After the debacle with Kell, she disappeared, only reappearing when she joined the League, in hopes of making up for helping a madman like Kell.
