Mack Winchester got into the smuggling business on something of a lark, really. Craving his own personal freedom and coupled with desire to leave his own personal mark on Faerun he abandoned the solid family plans in favor for life straddling the legal and criminal worlds of San Waterdeep. Mack has met with fairly consistent, and surprisingly lucky, success in his career and this has burnished his can-do risk-taking attitude as he approaches his job. As a result, he tends to take risks -- especially those that line up with his own moral code -- and so far they've turned out well.
Mack lives simply -- having developed something of a spartan lifestyle on the move. His treasured possessions number 5: His hat, his duster, his two arcane pistols and a sheet of parchment with a complex, and high-speed aircraft that he deeply desires to get the GC to build. However, despite his lust for his flying machine, most of Mack's money actually goes to his sister's family and to his brother, who is studying at an expensive private college in the university town of Daggerford.
About a year ago, Mack heard his friend J.D. was in trouble -- he'd run afoul of a half-orc crime boss named Grimt in Baldur City. Mack dropped what he was doing -- causing something of a ruckus with the work he'd picked up -- and sped south to help his friend. Wading into hostile territory with his duster and arcane pistols, Mack bluffed his way deep into the dilapidated tenement that held his friend and extracted J.D. from the belly of the beast -- capping the long-odds rescue off with some clever skulduggery and a few well-placed shots with his guns. Extraction complete, he and J.D. hightailed it out of the city to set J.D. up with a, hopefully more sane, life in Loudwater. Mack's fairly certain that Grimt and his thugs don't know who is responsible for the rescue and once his friend was back on his own two feet, Mack returned to San Waterdeep to pick up the pieces.
Since his return a few months back, Mack has been working with a new crew, ensuring he can fund his family -- and rebuilding his reputation.
