[edit] History
Mikey Bellows was a mentally challenged Immortal whose origins and age were unknown. Though, mentally challenged, he was a gentle soul and had a vast knowledge and love of trains. In 1995, Mikey was living in a small town in Greenville, Washington with an Immortal named Alan Wells and his wife, Helen. Alan was the owner of the junkyard where they were staying. Things were going going great for them, but, one day, Alan and Mikey sensed the presence of another Immortal, Tyler King, who challenged Alan to a fight. While Helen and Mikey hid on a bus, Alan and Tyler fought with their swords. They saw Tyler defeat and behead Alan. Helen screamed as she saw her husband lose his head, so Mikey tried to keep her quiet, but accidentally killed her. While Tyler received the Quickening, Mikey ran away. Later that day, Immortal Richie Ryan, while riding his motorcycle, sensed Mikey's presence. Richie took Mikey on the bike and left, being watched by Tyler King. Mikey was taken to Duncan MacLeod's loft in Seacouver where Mikey met Duncan. Richie and Duncan talked about what they were going to do with Mikey. They decided to take Mikey on a train ride. While there, Mikey ran into King, who leaves before Duncan and Richie appear. Mikey nearly takes the train for a ride, until stopped by the engineer. In the parking lot, Mikey accidentally causes empty water jugs to go down the road. This prompts Duncan and Richie to figure out something different to do with him. Richie decided to call a social worker. Meanwhile, King showed up and wanted to take Mikey's head but Duncan wouldn't allow it so they started fighting. Mikey tried to break up the fight but got scared and ran away. Mikey was hit by a police car, so he tried to hit the policemen, causing himself to get arrested. Duncan and Richie then go get Mikey out of jail. Richie had found a place for Mikey, a convent on holy ground where Mikey would be safe. They took Mikey to the place, but on their way, they stopped at a train depot to show Mikey some trains. There, they sensed King's presence. Duncan faced Tyler, while Richie and Mikey ran away. Two policemen stopped them, looking for Mikey for what had happened at Greenville. While trying to arrest him, Mikey got scared and accidentally killed one them so Mikey and Richie ran away to the tracks. Meanwhile, Duncan defeated King and saw the dead cop. Duncan and Richie confront Mikey asking him to tell them what really happened. Mikey then confessed that he had, without intention, killed Helen Wells. Duncan and Richie realized that there was no safe place for Mikey because the police wouldn't stop looking for him. Reluctantly, Richie took Mikey to a tunnel on the train tracks to "see a special train". When Mikey saw Richie take out his sword he knew what Richie was going to do. Mikey then decided to put his head on the track for an oncoming train saying he was not scared and that he was going to see "The King of Trains" in the sky. The train beheaded Mikey and Richie received his Quickening. After the Quickening, Richie cried for Mikey.
