The Highlander is a Scottish spirit of war and combat who has been summoned throughout the ages to defend Scotland and its people. During the First War of Scottish Independance, he is sealed away by King Edward I and is trapped for hundreds of years. In modern day Scotland, Scottish archeologist Madeline "Smithy" Smith accidentally releases Highlander from his imprisonment and convinces him to battle in the name of Scotland once again. Highlander becomes the new official protector of Scotland, though he is a highly controversial figure due to his attitude and tendancy towards violence, which causes him to have to constantly prove himself to Scotland and the world as a whole.

Protagonists

 * The Highlander: The Scottish spirit of war and combat who is summoned in modern day to defend his people. He comes off as cold and vengeful to many, but he has a strong sense of justice and a code of honor that he is unwilling to break. He possesses several superhuman abilities (such as increased strength, nigh-invulnerability, etc) and carries a magic spear which is able to fire bolts of magical energy.
 * Madeline "Smithy" Smith: An archeologist who accidentally releases Highlander in modern day. She is a brave woman with a strong sense of justice and plays the role of Highlander's moral compass, keeping him on the right track when his anger begins to overwelm him.
 * Fiona Smith/Wolf Child: Highlander's sidekick and Smithy's adopted daughter. She was raised in the woods by wolves and acts feral due to this, a personality trait that continues even when she is taught how to speak. She was turned into a wulver, a type of werewolf, before she was born by a curse, which causes her birth parents to abandon her.

Supporting

 * Gretel, The Woman in Red: A hag (type of witch) who is remarkably gifted in potions and witchcraft. She is several hundreds of years old and Highlander knew her when she was a little girl. She is known for her sarcastic sense of humor and eccentric tendancies. She is also a love interest to Highlander throughout the series.
 * Superintendent Finn Barker: An Irish policeman who has a complicated relationship with Highlander. He is willing to aid and team-up with Highlander, but is the first to accuse him of committing crimes and is willing to turn on him if he disagrees with what he is doing.

Antagonists

 * Benny Boyd: A Scottish socialite who is obsessed with magic and the supernatural. He is an older man who is intelligent, unempathetic, and wishes to conquer the world. Throughout the series, he is constantly searching for magical items and ways of gaining ultimate power. He has a particular fascination with Highlander, who he believes to be his only equal.
 * Dread Knight Robert: A medieval English knight who was responsible for sealing Highlander away. In modern day, he is a zombie-like creature and wields the magic sword The Butcher, which is able to kill people and destroy their souls. He appears emotionless and detached most of the time but has moments of unhinged anger and screaming.
 * Sinful Sloane: A Scottish gangster who leads an incredibly large group of criminals that spans throughout most of Scotland. He wears a mask which is solid black and puts on a suave and cunning persona but has an anger-prone sadistic streak.
 * Puck: A fairy-like man who is obsessed with Highlander and enjoys meddling in the affairs of his life. He wishes to get his hands on Highlander's spear and many of his plans have this as their end goal. He is extremely powerful and is sometimes referred to as Robin Goodfellow.
 * King in Velvet: The ruler of an extra-dimensional plane known as Sanctuary, which is filled with mythical creatures from all around the world. Little is known about him other than that he was worshipped thousands of years ago as a god and he wishes to bring an apocalyptic event known as The Rising.
