Biography
Prior to becoming a Watcher, Margaret "Mattie" O'Connell was married to another man, who passed away at some point either prior to, or during, 1990. In that same year, O'Connell encountered the Immortal, Hugh O'Neill, a former Irish terrorist-turned-peacemaker, some six months after her husband's death, and the two began a relationship. O'Neill trusted her enough to share the secret of his immortality with her, drawing her into the world of the Immortals.
Three years later, however, O'Neill, was challenged by another Immortal, Chang, to a dueln. O'Neill lost his head and Quickening to Chang.
Afterward O'Neill's death, however, O'Connell was recruited by the Watcher organization, because of her knowledge of the Immortals. Her first assignment would be O'Neill's former student, Annie Devlin, who would, herself, lose her head against Duncan MacLeod in 1996.
It is not known whom her subsequent Immortal assignments were.
