Duncan MacReady

Duncan "Mac" MacReady is an agent for Interpol's Task Force 29.

Overview
Of all members of Task Force 29, Duncan MacReady is probably the longest-serving member behind Director Jim Miller and one of its top agents. He is in charge of the organization's armed operations, and all field agents practically answer to him, or through him to Miller. As a seasoned veteran, he is an outstanding member of the force, but has no patience for incompetent people, which to him, is most other members of the team.

As he is the senior agent, he takes his orders directly from Miller and passes them along to his team. However, as Adam Jensen is on his team and is the only augmented agent, Miller will bypass the chain of command and directly issue orders to Jensen himself, which does not sit well with MacReady.

To most people, MacReady usually comes off as rude, impatient and, if they are augmented, bigoted, though he is also fiercely loyal to his superiors, righteous and places his duty over his bigotry. He is aware of his insensitivity, as lampshaded in his conversation with Jensen in his office. Although it is difficult to earn the respect of MacReady, he is an extremely valuable ally to anyone that does.

He has a distrust of augmented people, and thus is wary of Jensen when he joins his TF29 team. If pressed by Adam, he reveals that part of the reason he distrusts Augs is because he lost 3 of his team members when the Aug Incident happened. That is not to say that he does not value their skills and contribution, however, as Mac himself have reportedly cleared and willingly recommended Aria Argento for active duty despite her augmented arm, due to her being a better marksman than anyone else on his team.
