Along with Connor MacLeod, The Kurgan, Sunda Kastagir, Yung Dol Kim, and Osta Vasilek, Fasil participated in the 1985 New York Gathering.
He was the second Immortal to lose his head [citation needed], after Vasilek, when he was decapitated by Connor MacLeod in the parking garage of Madison Square Garden, where the Highlander had gone to see a wrestling match.
Osta Vasilek was briefly mentioned in the first Highlander film, having been beheaded by the Kurgan in New Jersey two days before MacLeod's duel with Fasil.
Both fought on the revolutionary side, but MacLeod ended up being arrested by the royal troops in a fortress in Vincennes, a suburb of Paris, and sentenced to be executed by the guillotine.
The Elder: A repulsive figure — his rotting skin hangs in loose folds like blankets — explains to MacLeod and the others how, millennia ago, he was part of a group of Immortals trying to find the Source, who ultimately turned on each other.
They found the Source and fought the Guardian, killing him, and was punished with a fate worse than death — a state of eternal living decay.
