Despite whatever all his other characteristics may convey, Mactire retains the air of a person that is confident, if not arrogant. Minor (and often, major) things in his body language - his walk, his stance, his expressions - reveal these feelings. At times, it seems he borders upon narcissism, especially judging from how much he enjoys his own company.

Mactire sees himself as the control subject in the science experiment called life. Often labeled as "boring" and "predictable", Mactire keeps his wild and experimental side reserved for pet projects. This boring lifestyle leads to him being considered anti-social and when he does join others, instead of relaxing he prefers to keep quiet and observe.

Mactire is a lateral thinker, and when he encounters problems or dilemmas, he is very good at improvising and coming up with alternative solutions. This allows Mactire to find ways out of situations others might give up on. While these solutions are often not so obvious to others, Mactire can typically explain and lead others through his plan...as long as they are patient and willing enough to trust him outside thinking.

Mactire doesn't like to work in groups or teams and feels most comfortable on his own. Mactire sticks to himself, sets his own pace, and doesn't share feelings or emotions with others. While the Lone Wolf can get things done quietly and efficiently, he tends to be emotionally cut off and has problems relating to his comrades.

Born with an intractable will and limitless courage, Mactire will stand in the face of insurmountable odds and never retreat. Despite the fact that such acts of heedless bravery are inspiring and will sometimes result in victories worthy of song, just as often they result in his allies getting wounded or killed.

Mactire vastly prefers ranged combat, taking every opportunity to use skills and Force Powers to disengage from melee and instead fight at range, so much so that he has become competent at staying out of melee in the first place.
