History (At least 3 paragraphs):
Mac was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. Growing up, Mac always wanted to join the military. He served as a lieutenant in the 1st Battalion 8th Marines in Beirut, where he received a wound just above his heart. He was discharged in March 1992. Thanks to serving in the Marines, Mac is skilled in unarmed defense and has knowledge of a wide range of weapons. It was really no surprise that after his stint in the Marines he became a NYPD officer and made his way up the ranks to the Chief of Detectives of their crime lab team.
Mac's father died of small-cell lung cancer. When Mac's father begged him to pull the plug, Mac couldn't do it. He married one Claire Conrad who had a son (that Mac didn't know about at the time), Reed Garrett, from a previous relationship. Claire died on 9/11. Her death completely devastated Mac. He still suffers from occasional bouts of insomnia because of it.
Mac thought that he would never get into another relationship after Claire's death but he soon found himself dating Peyton Driscoll, an ME. At first, he did everything he could to hide their relationship from his coworkers, thinking in the office relationships should never be had. But, after a case involving an Irish mob boss put his life in danger at the lab, he took Peyton up on her offer to go back to her home city of London with her. Mac returned back to NY after the trip, and it wasn't long before he got a letter from Peyton saying that she was going to be staying in London because she missed her family and friends too much.
So much for Mac's luck with personal relationships...But then Reed, Claire's son, started to follow Stella around because he mistakenly thought she was his mother. That's when Mac ran into him and learned that Claire was his mother. Ever since then, Mac has considered Reed part of his family and will do anything he can to help and protect him. Mac loves his job, friends, and family more than anything in the world.
Family: Claire Conrad: wife, deceased; Reed Garrett: Mac considers him to be his unbiological son
