Has it been explained why the Guardian wants to kill them?
Because they're looking for the Source? Too close to the Source? Because he's tired of singing "Who Wants to Live Forever" in the shower?
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

What's so damn great about growing old and getting sick and dying after less than a century? The human race makes up reasons why age and death are noble gifts so we won't collapse in despair over the futility of it all.
On the other hand, don't immortals often last less than a normal human lifespan due to head hunting? I get the feeling the century plus ones we see are a tiny percent of survivors. I always had the impression that the life of the average immortal was:
"Wow, I just had my chest crushed in a freak encounter with wheelbarrow full of peach cobbler! Why am I still alive?"
Two weeks later: "Why did that guy with the sword just corner me in an exitless back alley? Too bad my life peddling hot eels in London streets did not teach me anything about sword fighting. These jars filled with pickled fish don't seem help very much at fending him off. In these last moments of my life, I can't help wondering if there is not some larger perspective from which the events of the last few weeks make some sort of sens[squelch]"

Thrive to spite them
They are on an island right?
They are Island Cannibals. Because the Guardian isn't bad enough, there has to be cannibals.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If it's the Source of the Immortal's power, why does being near it make them mortal?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
