==Biography==
===Pre-Series===
Born to a Father and Elisabeth Macy, Lara Macy grew up on a Farmland in Maryland before joining the U.S. Marine Corps, where she spent some time with the Military. 
As a Lieutenant who was stationed at Camp Pendleton, one of the cases that she investigated was the 1991 murder of a Pedro Hernandez. The primary suspect in the case was Leroy Jethro Gibbs, possibly for the murder his wife Shannon and 8-year-old daughter Kelly Gibbs by Hernandez. She did not hold back in her investigation and Gibbs was shown in episode Legend (Part 1) (episode) and Legend (Part 2) (episode) to hold resentment towards her after how he was treated. After she had gathered all the evidence she ultimately decided to close the case once she discovered why Gibbs did what he did, and thought it was a just killing. Gibbs had no idea she had protected him and buried the evidence until Nate Getz told him at the end of Legend (Part 2).
Macy rose to the rank of Major before she left the military. After leaving the military, she then joined NCIS, undergoing the essential training before she eventually became the Operations Manager of the Office of Special Projects located in Los Angeles.
 
===NCIS Season 6===
In May 2009, Macy coordinated a joint operation with the Major Case Response Team in Washington D.C. and the Office of Special Projects in Los Angeles to neutralize a terrorist cell within the United States. This Operation brought her back into contact with Gibbs who was now an NIS/NCIS Agent as well and also the Special Agent-In-Charge of the Major Case Response Team in the Washington D.C./Headquarters and as a result of the tensions between them, Gibbs even began believing that Macy had botched the case against him 20 Years Ago to such an extent that Gibbs was even dismissive of Macy's ability to lead the team and also her skills as an NCIS Special Agent.
It was during this case that Macy confided in Nate Getz about what had happened back in 1991 with Gibbs and Hernandez.
A few hours after the case had ended, Nate later indirectly informed Gibbs as Gibbs and McGee were leaving OSP to return to Washington D.C. about what Macy had done for him which affected a more stable and amicable relationship between them. While that G. Callen was the target of an assassination attempt that left him in critical condition.
===NCIS: Los Angeles Season 1===
As a result of the attempt on Callen's life, Director Leon Vance reassigned her to a Task Force in Marseille, France leaving Henrietta Lange to become the new Operations Manager for OSP. 
In Ambush, revealed that according to Hetty, Macy was apparently working out of a “Quonset Hut in Djibouti”.
===NCIS Season 7===
While stationed in France, Macy investigated the rape of Petty Officer Kaylen Burrows who was stationed aboard the U.S.S. Majestic. 
The case eventually led her back to Washington D.C., where she was murdered and her body was burned as part of a vendetta against Gibbs, specifically for her part in covering up the details of Hernandez’s death.
Gibbs and his team were summoned to the scene and left devastated when Tim McGee who Gibbs had brought with him to Los Angeles confirmed to them that the remains were those of Macy's.
As such, Gibbs became fixated on solving the crime by any means necessary and with the help of Dacky and Abby later discovered that the knife marks on Macy's neck had come with a knife with the team determining that her killer was Jason Paul Dean, a disgraced former U.S. Army Ranger working for the Reynosa Cartel.
Shortly after her death, the room in her mother's house where Macy kept her old case notes was searched by parties involved with the Reynosa Cartel who were looking for Macy's notes on the Hernandez Case.
It is presumed that after the case, Macy's remains were returned to her mother and she was ultimately laid to rest in a ceremony in her homestade of Maryland.
