This particular one goes with the gif above.
Sylum Inspiration: Mac Taylor
Sylum: Hunter
Mac Taylor was born and raised in Chicago. His father David Taylor worked for Chicago PD and his mother Kristen worked as a nurse. Both are still alive and living in Chicago.
Hearing tales from his Uncle Lt. Dan Taylor he followed in his footsteps and joined the US Marine Corps.
Once he left the Marine Corps he joined the NYPD – working his way up to Lieutenant in the Crime Scene Unit. He met Claire and the two married and settled into life in New York.
Mac lost his wife Claire in the 9/11 attacks. He threw himself into his work, avoiding feeling anything. The only one who stayed close to him was his friend and colleague Stella Bonasara.
He discovered the reality of Vampires when Daniel Messer was Turned Without Consent. He was soon pulled into the world of Vampires, accepting his place by Danny’s side. Mac started the Bond with Danny when they were in New Orleans helping with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Soon after, he was mortally wounded by Sonny Sassone. Danny turned Mac in the back of the ambulance, leading them to Bond as Mates soon after.

St Patrick’s Day
St. Patrick
We’re highlighting specific Saint Days that are relevant with in the Sylum Universe.
St. Patrick is important in many aspects of storyline – from Monseigneur Kiernen to St. Patrick of Conclave.
***
Saint Patrick was a fifth-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the “Apostle of Ireland”, he is the primary patron saint of Ireland, along with saints Brigit of Kildare and Columba. He is also venerated in the Anglican Communion, the Old Catholic Church and in the Eastern Orthodox Church as equal-to-apostles and the Enlightener of Ireland.
The dates of Patrick’s life cannot be fixed with certainty but there is broad agreement that he was active as a missionary in Ireland during the second half of the 5th century. Early medieval tradition credits him with being the first bishop of Armagh and Primate of Ireland, and they regard him as the founder of Christianity in Ireland, converting a society practising a form of Celtic polytheism. He has been generally so regarded ever since, despite evidence of some earlier Christian presence in Ireland.
According to the Confessio of Patrick, when he was about 16, he was captured by Irish pirates from his home in Britain, and taken as a slave to Ireland, looking after animals, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After becoming a cleric, he returned to northern and western Ireland. In later life, he served as a bishop, but little is known about the places where he worked. By the seventh century, he had already come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland.
Saint Patrick’s Day is observed on 17 March, the supposed date of his death. It is celebrated inside and outside Ireland as a religious and cultural holiday. In the dioceses of Ireland, it is both a solemnity and a holy day of obligation; it is also a celebration of Ireland itself.
