* **Metatype:**Human  (*Homo sapiens sapiens*)
* **DOB:**4/2/2010, Milwaukee, MI UCAS
* **Education:**Masters in Business Administration, Loyola University Chicago
* **Family:**Donald McNally (father, Milwaukee), Candide [born Olson] McNally (ex-wife, also stepmother, Milwaukee), Grace Hamilton (mother, Jacksonville FL, CAS), Yvonne DeBussy (ex-wife, Montreal, Quebec), Kacee Felder-McNally (wife, Christiansted, St Croix, Carib League).

Drew McNally can mostly be defined by who he's worked for. One of nature's survivors, he started out at Ford Motor Company's corporate headquarters in Dearborn MI, as a bright young executive in a position in corporate accounting, and lead an outreach program to endow the town's many mosques while he was there to increase Ford's support in the community. When Ford was rolled over and devoured by the new Ares Macrotechnology  in the mid 2030's, he quickly sealed the deal by providing his new Ares masters with enough dirt to ruin Ford's name in Dearborn and drum up community support for the takeover. Its said that Drew's old superior had to leave town in disguise in the middle of the night.

This demonstration of spineless weasel-dickery gained him the attention of rising corporate star Glen Cavendish , who was at the time setting up shop as a Junior Vice President of Ares-CAS and hand-picked Drew as one of his crowd of cronies and yes-men, a role that Drew excelled in. He quick insinuated himself as one of Glen's inner circle, a drinking and golfing buddy. Cavendish brought Drew with him when he moved to Ares Entertainment, where Drew and junior executive Dylan Heppner began a life-long career rivalry, and when he took over Ares Agribusiness in the Minneapolis-St Paul Metroplex, Drew was on the short list of long-time, loyal cronies that got rewarded with control over a regional office, in Drew's case the Fargo  Office.

Drew then spent the next twenty years feathering his own nest and basically doing the exact minimum to maintain Ares operations in the Red River Valley. He had no interest, even a little bit, in Fargo, agribusiness or learning anything about either. Control of day-to-day operations fell into the hands of his own cronies (people like Bobbie Walker, Miles Jungroth and Rudy Steiner). Under his 'administration', Ares holdings went into a slow decline, losing ground, literal ground, to their local rivals in Crystal Agricultural, and even losing control of certain corporate assets to go-gangers. For the last ten years of his time, he never filed a single report about his section, instead delivering news verbally to Glen during their monthly golf games (in the Glyndon Dome during the winter). The one thing Drew is really good at is losing at golf by exactly the right amount.

Eventually news of some of the more egregious failures (such as the Heathens taking over McLovins) reached Detroit  and forces within the company put pressure on him to take his leave, lured out with a generous severance package, to make room for other, less incompetent, management. And honestly, Drew was more than happy to take his severance package, the savings he'd been saving up from the nuyen he'd been skimming for all these years and his new wife (and former PA) and head to the Caribbean League , never to lay eyes on or think about the frozen north ever again...
