"Ex U.S. Ranger turned gun for hire. Joined Jackals cutting his teeth in the slums of Soweto, South Africa. Marked with traditional scars to honor his heritage. Has earned a reputation for being a vicious operator."
In Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone, Mace was released on February 25th, 2020 as part of the "Mace Operator Bundle" during Season Two of the game. In Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, he was released on September 18th, 2023 as part of the "Tracer Pack: Mace Operator Bundle" during Season Five Reloaded.
Mace began his military career as a Special Forces Army Ranger. At some point prior to October 2019, he used to serve with Simon "Ghost" Riley in the same unit.[1] That's when he started to sport a skull mask similar to Ghost, albeit using a metallic skull face rather than a clothed one.
After Mace left the military, he joined Phillip Graves' Shadow Company. Following multiple deployments and operations, where he became known for his "brutal and brash tactics", Mace decided to leave Shadow Company and returned to Africa where he joined Viktor "Zane" Metiko's Jackals in their fight against Al-Qatala's influence in the Pan-African region, honing his craft in the slums of Soweto in South Africa. Mace also recruited Rozlin "Roze" Helms in the Jackals until 2020 where she joined Shadow Company in the midst of a war against Al-Qatala and Victor Zakhaev in the Kastovian city of Verdansk.
By 2023, Mace continued to operate in Africa before warlords funded by Konni Group attacked a unit he had led, leaving him outgunned and outnumbered. With few options left, Mace accepted Graves' offer to return to Shadow Company, fight Konni directly and sever their link with the African warlords.
The scarification on Mace's torso resembles "crocodile scars," originating from Papua New Guinea.
The Shadow Company PMC logo is featured on most of Mace's outfits in Modern Warfare. His connection to the organization was not revealed until Modern Warfare II.
