Alphonso mackenzie

Director **Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie** is a mechanical engineer and former member of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s engineering division who served as the head engineer on the *Iliad*, before eventually taking on the role of director after Daisy Johnson and Phil Coulson. Despite the heavy casualties S.H.I.E.L.D. took during the HYDRA Uprising, he stayed loyal to his oath and continued his service in the remains of S.H.I.E.L.D. under Robert Gonzales. However, as another faction of S.H.I.E.L.D. led by Coulson emerged, he was sent alongside Bobbi Morse and Isabelle Hartley to infiltrate it. Now working undercover, he pretended to be a simple mechanic while searching for Nick Fury's Toolbox. When the truth was revealed, Mackenzie's colleagues quickly attacked and occupied the Playground, taking control over most of S.H.I.E.L.D. However, the two factions eventually managed to put aside their differences and work together against HYDRA. When S.H.I.E.L.D. was formally reunited with Coulson as its rightful director, Mackenzie decided to leave the organization, only to change his mind when the Inhumans killed Gonzales and attacked S.H.I.E.L.D. After the War Against the Inhumans, during which he saved Coulson's life, Mackenzie was put in charge of overseeing all alien artifacts S.H.I.E.L.D. may collect.

A few months later, he became the partner of Daisy Johnson in recruiting Inhumans to the powered individuals team she was establishing. Mackenzie united the team when he was the temporary Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. He continued working with S.H.I.E.L.D. in their fights against Gideon Mallick and Hive.

Eventually, Johnson went rogue, so he and Coulson pursued her under Jeffrey Mace's leadership. But as Lucy Bauer, a woman with ghost-like abilities, wanted to use the Darkhold for her needs, Mackenzie had to join forces with Johnson and Robbie Reyes, who was Ghost Rider, to stop her. Mackenzie was temporarily merged with the Spirit of Vengeance. He then helped S.H.I.E.L.D. to defeat Eli Morrow, which led to the renewal of his relationship with Elena Rodriguez. Following Holden Radcliffe's betrayal on S.H.I.E.L.D., Mackenzie was kidnapped and his mind was put inside the Framework, a virtual reality where he lived a rewritten life with his long dead daughter. Despite Johnson and Jemma Simmons' efforts to bring him back to the real world, Mackenzie decided to stay with his daughter in the Framework. However, when the Framework started deleting itself, including his daughter, a grieving Mackenzie followed Rodriguez back to the real world.

Soon after, Mackenzie and the rest of the team were sent to the year 2091 where Earth had been destroyed and the human survivors lived in the Lighthouse under Kree rule. He and Rodriguez decided to stay in the station with Inhuman Flint to help the people to stand against the Kree, while the rest of the team left to find a way back to the present. With the success of the uprising he helped to cause and the death of Kasius by him, Mackenzie returned to the present. S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately worked to prevent the Destruction of Earth, came into conflict with Hale's HYDRA and later with the Confederacy. Following S.H.I.E.L.D.'s victory over Glenn Talbot and saving Earth, although losing Leo Fitz, the mantle of Director passed to Mackenzie.

A year later, Mackenzie operated in the Lighthouse as Director when Sarge and his crew appeared on Earth, with Sarge bearing resemblance with the deceased Phil Coulson. When Melinda May captured Sarge, Mackenzie held him prisoner in the Lighthouse until the threat of the Shrike grew more serious. When Sarge tried to take control of Zephyr One, Mackenzie fought back and allied himself with Jaco to rescue Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons from Izel. However, when Izel returned to Earth in James Davis' body, she killed him and used Mackenzie's body to obtain the Gravity Containment Device. She then took Yo-Yo Rodriguez's body and Mackenzie on Zephyr One to the Temple of the Forgotten, where he and Rodriguez would be used to create Flint and use him to construct new monoliths. After being freed by Deke Shaw, Mackenzie escaped the temple before returning to finish off Izel and Sarge in a final battle. After killing them both, Simmons arrived to the temple and took Mackenzie to the past to stop the Chronicom Hunters from eliminating S.H.I.E.L.D. before it is created.

With the help of a Life-Model Decoy of Coulson, Makcenzie led the team in their last battle together against the Chronicoms. First in 1931, he and the team saved Freddy Malick from being assassinated by the Chronicoms, then jumping to 1955 to stop the launch of Project Helius, after which Mackenzie made the decision to save Daniel Sousa from HYDRAassassination. In the 1970s, after the team stopped Project Insight, Mackenzie rescued his "parents" form the hands of the Chronicoms. However, after he discovered they were replaced by Chronicoms, he sank into depression which led him and Shaw to be stranded in the 1980s over a year. During that time, Shaw helped Mackenzie to get out of depression and together they fought the Chronicoms leader, Sibyl, and her Sibyl-Bots at the Lighthouse. The two then reunited with the team and together brought back Leo Fitz to their timeline to help beat the Chronicoms. When they returned to 2019, Mackenzie saved Johnon's half sister, Kora, and they stopped the Chroincoms's threat for good. Following their victory, Mackenzie proceeded leading the organization, rebuilding it to its former glory.

## Facilities

* **Mackenzie Residence**: Mackenzie grew up in this house with his brother Ruben. Due to his involvement in S.H.I.E.L.D., he eventually was unable to spend much time in his former residence, although he would sometimes visit when off duty. In an alternate timeline, while Mackenzie was stuck in the 1980s, he took residence in his childhood home, as he fell into a deep depression due to his parent's deaths.
* ***Iliad***: Mackenzie was stationed on the S.H.I.E.L.D. aircraft known as the *Iliad* by the time the HYDRA Uprising erupted. He helped secure the ship by taking it back from HYDRA's hands, and later worked on the ship under Robert Gonzales' orders.
* **Playground**: As a double agent secretly working for Gonzales' faction of S.H.I.E.L.D., Mackenzie was sent to work to the Playground, where Phil Coulson was rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D. as well. Mackenzie quickly became the lead engineer in the base, putting his engineering skills to good use during his various assignments, and making friends with Coulson's agents, especially Leo Fitz. Once the two factions were merged, Mackenzie, although contemplating leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. for a while, kept living in the Playground, occasionally sharing a room with Yo-Yo Rodriguez.
* **Lighthouse**: Along with the rest of the S.H.I.E.L.D. team, Mackenzie settled in the Lighthouse after coming back from the future. Once he became the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he had his own office prepared near the command center of the base. Mackenzie was, however, forced to abandon the base after it was invaded by the Chronicoms.
* **Triskelion**: Following the War Against the Chronicoms, Mackenzie reinstated the Triskelion as one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters under his directorship.

### Prisons

* **Ivanov Oil Platform**: Having been abducted by Aida and her allies, Mackenzie was forcibly connected to the Framework, with the hardware being located in an oil platform owned by Anton Ivanov. When the platform was destroyed by Ivanov while Mackenzie was still trapped in the Framework, he nearly drowned, but was saved by Leo Fitz and Aida, who took him to the Zephyr One.

### In the Framework

* **Playground**: In an attempt to make up for his involvement in Daisy Johnson's capture by HYDRA, Mackenzie joined the S.H.I.E.L.D.resistance after reaching their base. There, he was able to help many fugitives hiding from HYDRA, especially after his real-world teammates left the Framework. By the time the Destruction of the Framework had been enacted by Aida, Mackenzie ordered the evacuation of the Playground, noticing that parts of it seemed to simply vanish.
