| Personal History | MacLeod was born in Glenfinnan, Scotland in 2352. Raised in a traditional Scottish household, MacLeod (or Mac to his friends), traveled across Europe on Earth. During his travels, Mac learned German and French as well as some Spanish and Italian. Not only did he learn the languages, he learned to respect the customs, food, and traditions. This instilled a desire to explore in Mac that eventually lead him to join Starfleet. At Starfleet Academy, Mac became good friends with James K'Temoc Bremer, a classmate of his. The two are still good friends today. While aboard the USS George Washington in 2373, Mac met and fell in love with the ship's Chief Medical Officer, Mutara Romain. After months of dating, the two married. During this time, Mac became close friends with Admiral Mike K'Wor Bremer, a friendship that still exists today. Following the end of the Dominion War, while Mac was stationed on Cardassia, he and Mutara separated, the long distance relationship took a heavy toll on on them. Mac took a leave from Starfleet in 2376, partly to deal with his separation. When Mac returned to Starfleet in 2381, he was again assigned to the George Washington. Working closely with his ex-wife was difficult, but both of them were professional. However a year later, Mac and Mutara began to rekindle their relationship. That came to a quick end in 2384 after Mac's demotion. MacLeod ended the relationship this time, saying he didn't want to bring shame onto Mutara, but deep down he was depressed and wasn't sure what to do. Today, Mac still deals with the demons of his past, but he is learning to live with them as he grows as a person. |
