Meta: Matthew of Salisbury (Origins)

In Dead End, we get the first historical flashbacks of the series. These flashbacks were written, in part, to provide backstory for Matthew, but also, in Highlander tradition, to provide thematic parallels with the present-time events of the story. To write these flashbacks, we had to grab and pull onto a lot of threads that the canon (and canon-adjacent material) left dangling.
