Norman "Mac" Machendryx II is a shrewd bank robber who lives to take from others.

## Bio

Mac is a criminal whose expertise and skill is the result of decades of experience.

Born to a poor family, Mac was taught how to steal to survive. What started as a small "harmless" habit quickly turned into a hobby, and eventually a necessity. When Mac was 20, he was recruited by his father's crime group to pull off various worldwide-known heists. He was known for a charming yet merciless personality and always got away. At least, that's what he thought.

When he was 30, a careless mistake led to Mac being caught by the vigilante known as Soldier: 76. He was thrown into Dorado's correctional facility and sentenced for 20 years. But his father's group didn't forget him.

Halfway into his sentence, the facility was broken into and Mac was rescued. During the escape, his father was taken by the guards and escorted to a more harsh prison. He ended up serving a death penalty, which broke Mac's heart. Hiring a private engineer to modify his father's trusty shotgun, he emerged out of hiding and vowed to avenge his father.
