Old Mac is a farmer, which you meet first in Pre-Searing Ascalon. His bull Bill is killed by the player as part of the A Mesmer's Burden quest due to it harassing townspeople. To compensate for this, players acquire a Devourer Egg for him, which he plans to raise as a new pet.

He appears again later in the The Breach as a Vanguard Member and one of the numerous refugees fleeing over the Northern Shiverpeaks into Kryta to escape the Charr. He can be found just outside Beacon's Perch, accompanied by a pet Devourer, Joe - hatched from the egg given to him two years earlier.

[edit] Trivia

• The name of Old Mac and his pet, Joe, may derive from the old video game, Joe & Mac.
• His name was changed from Old Mack on the April 24, 2008 update. This was undocumented, but confirmed by Bobby Stein.
• Sometimes Old Mac will get attacked and killed by the surrounding charr. The ironic thing is that the quest Army Life will not update despite saying that you have to find Old Mac's dead body.
