Quotes below the curtain
Duncan: Duncan: Cut the crap - Mike is dead because of him.
Methos: No, Mike is dead because of Mike.
Duncan: The kid idolized him. Maybe he didn't pull the trigger but he sure as hell put the gun in his hand. "To live like me you have to be like me." Come on, Methos, Mike couldn't do that, he wasn't Immortal.
Methos: And that is not Byron's fault

Byron: Would you rather have a tombstone that says "he lived for centuries', or one that says 'for centuries, he was alive"?

He gets a thrill from it, and is pushing the bounds of addiction with it. Just as he is addicted to laudanum and then cocaine, he is addicted to this kind of thrill killing.
And I agree that he's suicidal. Methos gives him the chance to run away, and he refuses. He *wants* to die. The comparison to Gregor is apt. He is tired of being alive.
