Hearing tales from his Uncle Lt. Dan Taylor he followed in his footsteps and joined the US Marine Corps.
Once he left the Marine Corps he joined the NYPD – working his way up to Lieutenant in the Crime Scene Unit. He met Claire and the two married and settled into life in New York.
Mac lost his wife Claire in the 9/11 attacks. He threw himself into his work, avoiding feeling anything. The only one who stayed close to him was his friend and colleague Stella Bonasara.
He discovered the reality of Vampires when Daniel Messer was Turned Without Consent. He was soon pulled into the world of Vampires, accepting his place by Danny’s side. Mac started the Bond with Danny when they were in New Orleans helping with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Soon after, he was mortally wounded by Sonny Sassone. Danny turned Mac in the back of the ambulance, leading them to Bond as Mates soon after.
