When it's time it's time, and he always knows. The slant of sunlight on the floor, being cut off at a stop sign, too many people angry at him, or simple boredom.

Something different, each and every time, across millennia.

Adam Pierson dies on a balmy spring day, after Duncan MacLeod looks at him and sees only Death swinging a blade astride a pale horse.

Matt Benson is born at 1:23 in the afternoon during a spring rainstorm. One day, he'll die and someone new will rise from his ashes.

For now, Matt Benson walks.
