Connor MacLeod

• Badass Longcoat
• Badass Longhair: Sometimes.
• Brave Scot
• Death by Adaptation: In Highlander The Animated Series the Big Bad Lord Kortan kills him about 700 years before the show takes place.
• Death Glare: He's got an impressive one when he's pissed.
• Determinator
• Mr. Fanservice
• Guttural Growler
• I Am X, Son of Y
• Katanas Are Just Better
• Proud Warrior Race Guy
• Real Men Love Jesus: Astoundingly still a devout Catholic in spite of the xenophobia of his Catholic breathren causing him to be exiled.
• Trophy Room: Connor has one in his apartment. Given his nature, no surprise it's also a Wall of Weapons.
• Warrior Poet: He does not waste his immortality, but rather enrichens his soul by becoming a patron of fine arts, poetry and music.
• What The Hell Is That Accent: Christopher Lambert went to a lot of trouble to develop a mixed non-specific accent appropriate for an immortal who'd lived everywhere over the course of his centuries-long life. Many people just assumed he was trying to do a specific accent and failing badly, even though the intention is underlined by an early dialogue exchange between MacLeod (operating under the alias Russel Nash) and a suspicious cop:
  "You talk funny, Nash. Where you from?"
  "Lots of different places."

Juan Ramirez

• Badass Grandpa
• Cool Old Guy
• Dashing Hispanic: "I'm not Spanish, I'm Egyptian!"
• Fake Nationality: Sean Connery plays an Egyptian playing a Spaniard, which is really weird considering that the hero is Scottish.
• Katanas Are Just Better
• Mentor Occupational Hazard: Poor Ramirez.
• Nice Hat
• Not Even Bothering with the Accent: To be entirely fair to him, he'd lived for donkey's years. In-universe, he'd probably just lost it.
• The Obi-Wan
• Overly-Long Name: Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez
• Pimped Out Cape
• Sean Connery
• Spared by the Adaptation: Is a major character in The Animated Series.

• Big Bad: Of the first movie.
• Blood Knight
• Chaotic Stupid / Stupid Evil
• Drives Like Crazy: "New York... New York...."
• Evil Laugh: The undisputed master of this trope.
• Evil Sounds Deep: It was pretty deep to begin with, but after Ramirez wounds his throat it goes to Tom Waits levels of roughness.
• For the Evulz
• Go Out with a Smile
• IKEA Weaponry: The sword used by the Kurgan in modern times.
• Husky Russkie: Well sort of, as he's a huge guy who's native tribe existed in what would come to be known as Russia, but wasn't Russia yet.
• Large Ham
• Laughably Evil: New York...New York...
• Mean Character, Nice Actor - Clancy Brown is a soft spoken, warm, sensitive and kind-hearted off-camera.

• Put the "Laughter" in "Slaughter"
• Rape, Pillage, and Burn
• Scary Impractical Armor - During the bad ol' days of 1536. Although it's not like he needs practical armour, seeing as he can shrug off any non-decapitating blows.
• Spell My Name with a "The"
• Star-Making Role - For Clancy Brown.
• Villain Song: While he doesn't sing it, they use the Queen song "Gimme The Prize (The Kurgan's Theme)" in the film. Despite being pretty badass, the band themselves didn't like it.

Jacob Kell

• Manipulative Bastard
• Politically Incorrect Villain:
  A woman is a temple built on a sewer.
• Pragmatic Villainy: Completely ignores the rules of The Game by gathering a bunch of followers who help him slay immortals in unfair fights, and murders others on Holy Ground. He suffers no consequences for this other than becoming one of the strongest immortals ever.
