Lord Byron, once one of the most scandalous poets of the 19th Century, is a rock star in the late 20th century. Methos had been his friend and mentor when the poet's suicide in 1815 triggered his immortality. His unrestrained life leads him to seduce another immortal's wife and his first challenge, one he isn't quite ready for. By fighting dirty, he manages to win though he was killed in the process and the quickening which hit him while he was still dead was witnessed by Mary Shelley inspiring her book, 'Frankenstein'.
