== Biography ==
Clarence Mikael "Mick" McNale, was born in Philadelphia to Irish-American parents. He stands 1.8m tall, with a full beard and reddish brown hair fading into salt and pepper grey that threatens to be white in the near future. Yet he still stands a strong individual with hands that have seen labors and a weathered face of someone who refuses to be idle.
Mick moved abroad after Prep School to gain a degree in Music History in Birmingham, UK. There as he was studying for his graduate degree he met and fell in love with his soon to be wife, "Rena". Mick moved back to Philadelphia, to work with his father Cillian McNale who held a position of Director of acquisitions with the Delancey Foundation.
Rena Morgan, a music historian and violinist, came to Philadelphia to join Mick two years later. She took work with the foundation as well. They were married the following summer and the Dean of Philadelphia University gifted Mick his second Masters Degree Certificate in a silver frame as a wedding present. After less than a year of marriage, their only child Edward was born. Mick would work as a preservationist, later Chief Preservationist, for 20 years as they raised their son daily in the halls of the Conservatory.
Mick & Rena dreamed of Edward joining them in what they both felt was very important work for the future of humanity, but Edward would choose differently. Edward fell in love while attending Prep school, with a girl from San Francisco who planned to go to Starfleet Academy when the session was over. Their son did not do well enough in school to be accepted to the Academy, but chose to enlist. Mick approved of the girl, but not the career. Edward left home against advise to go enlist.
Unfortunately, seeing their son leave home was not the worst for them. A month later, Director Cillian McNale passed away. Four years later they lost Rena's father, Mick's mother, and their son Edward.
