Alex Mackey

"I hate Republicans. I'm not crazy about Democrats either. They're all the same kind of crooks."

- After being summoned for questioning by various City Council members.

Alexander Danial Mackey is a Lieutenant in the 501st Legion stationed in New York City. He was born in Brooklyn and joined the Remnant in 2003. He has admitted to a misspent youth in which he learned various skills. He joined the 501st after being labeled a troublemaker by his previous commander. He is known for often stealing supplies from other units who have stolen 501st supplies. He often has an attitude towards elected officials when they try to argue with him over an arrest or ticket. He often asks Anthony Rivers what it would take to get a girl assigned to the outfit. He was later told that there was talk of assigning a female lieutenant that was known for picking fights with just about everyone to the outfit by Rodgers' clerk. Mackey was later promoted to Lieutenant himself and assigned his own squad of 501st troopers including Matt Horduski and at one point Corporal Klinger who was quickly booted from the new squad by Mackey after discovering that it was merely a new attempt at a discharge.

He is extremely close to his mother who eventually becomes the self-appointed Den Mother for the 501st and supplies the troops with assorted snacks and meals. His father was murdered as a witness to a triple-murder that was reportedly carried out by members of the Donatelli Crime Organization.

In 2020, Mackey and his squad responded to a call in The Bronx where he discovered that Spectres member Darius Carpenter had been c0nfronted by knife-wielding members of a street gang that had ties to Darius' mother. During his investigation into the incident, Mackey obtained video showing Darius holding his hands out in a defensive manner and the gang members being sent flying across the street after Darius had shot and wounded a machete-wielding gang member. This video was later turned over to Tevin Felth who after reviewing it, informed Obi-Wan Kenobi of the incident as it clearly showed Darius using The Force.

Incidents with the City Council
He and his squad have been known for having encounters with members of the New York City Council following arrests or other actions taken against them or their family members. Among the more notable of these incidents are:


 * He arrested City Councilman Fullman's (R-Ozone Park) son after catching the councilman's son and his friends trying to break into a bodega.
 * He once told Councilman Varcossi (D-Red Hook) to go to hell after the councilman tried to argue with him over a ticket and tow after the councilman blocked a bus stop and corner ramp.
 * He towed Councilman Williams' (R-Bensonhurst) car out of the middle of the street under the West End elevated after being ordered to by Joseph Rodgers. The Councilman threw a huge fit and demanded that his car be returned. Mackey responded by telling the Councilman to get bent and pay the fine like everybody else.

Future
By 2030, Mackey is a Colonel who is eventually brought into the Remnant Security Bureau by Rivers after Tevin Felth places Rivers in charge of reforming the agency following the increasingly erratic and abusive behavior of its agents. Mackey takes part in an investigation begun by Tevin's daughter Lucy and former RSB Major Eric Schuyler into a kidnapping that takes place in Philadelphia using Gamorreans eventually leading to a murder and blood diamonds. Mackey is later sent to conduct interrogations on suspects arrested by Admiral Eli Vanto in connection to this case.
