[edit] History
Kronos was the leader of the Four Horsemen (along with Methos, Silas and Caspian) the most terrible Immortals that ever existed. They spread terror in the Bronze Age across two continents, killing while roaming the land and destroying everything in their way, just for the pleasure of it all. A more formidable menace wasn't seen in ages before or since. For untold millennia, nothing could stand in their way. They destroyed mortals and Immortals alike.
In November of 1996, Kronos resurfaced in the city of Paris after a long absence from the world. He tried to reunite his infamous brethren, The Four Horsemen again. The Immortal female Cassandra, a former slave of The Four Horsemen, came to warn Duncan MacLeod about them. It was then that Duncan MacLeod discovered the dark past of his close friend, the wily and peace-loving Immortal Methos. For several thousand years, Methos was one of the infamous Four Horsemen. He destroyed, pillaged and plundered a myriad lands across the world, right alongside them. In fact, he was the one called Death.
Along with Caspian, Kronos and Silas, Methos participated in the endless rampage of the legendary Horsemen across the world. They were feared by mortals and Immortals alike. Nothing could stand in their way. Their only loyalty was to each other. It was only in the twentieth century that Duncan MacLeod, the famous Highlander, finally managed to stop them, with help from a somewhat conflicted Methos.
The evil Immortals Kronos and Caspian were defeated after a fierce and drawn-out battle by Duncan MacLeod (who had known Kronos as the vicious killer and outlaw Melvin Koren in the American Old West). The Immortal Methos, who allied himself with Duncan MacLeod, beheaded the violent yet slow-witted Silas, his only true friend among The Four Horsemen, putting an end to the evil Horsemen seemingly endless reign of terror. After thousands of years of terrorizing the world under various names, the Four Horsemen were no more.
Valentine Pelka's portrayal of the Immortal Kronos as a charismatic, funny and seductive yet evil warrior hellbent on world domination and destruction made him a favorite among Highlander fans.
