Patrick McDonald

This page describes a being.Patrick McDonald, also known as Patty Mack or Pipe Bomb Pete, was an Irish-American farmer and explosives engineer. His father participated in the Young Ireland rebellion in 1848, before he was born. He is the creator of the pipe bomb as well as the father of McDonald.
In 1899, he moved out of Ireland with his family to New York. He was raised to have a great pride in being Irish, often fighting those who insulted his nationality. Around the age of 13, he met an old man who had fought with the Union in the American Civil War. He had served in the Union Navy, being involved in many coastal attacks against the Confederacy. The old man had knowledge of improvised bombs which he used during naval assaults. Patrick would learn from this old man different ways to create explosives from a variety of different materials. The old man would later be killed by debtors who were attempting to collect owed money. This would fuel Patrick's hatred for capitalism.
He grew tired of his life in the city, and in 1906 he traveled north before deciding to settle in Mars Hill, Maine. Here he would impregnate an illiterate lady whom he fell in love with, raising 4 children with her, the oldest of which being McDonald. He would also start a successful potato farm. He had bought a small portion of land that had been abandoned, with an overgrown stone building in one corner of the lot. Patrick used his knowledge of explosives to concoct a set of bombs to demolish the structure, much to the surprise of the locals. He would use this land as his potato fields. 
In 1920, he was approached by a man inquiring about his knowledge of explosives. The man shared Patrick's strong distaste towards capitalism. Patrick would be contracted with creating a bomb which would later be used in the 1920 Wall Street Bombing. After the attack he would become known in the criminal underworld as a man to visit if you were in need of something deadly. He would use the pseudonym "Pipe Bomb Pete".
