'''Hal Mackellar''' (b. 2313) is John's father. He was born on Mars Colony, one of the third generation of Mackellars to have been so. Hal studied linguistics at university on Mars and pursued post-graduate studies at the University of Risa, upon the completion of which he joined the faculty as a professor in the university's linguistics department. He met Dorothy Greenway in 2342, they married in 2349 and had three children before their separation and divorce in 2362. Always more devoted to his studies and research than his duties as a husband and father, Hal's life changed little after his ex-wife and children left Risa. He had infrequent contact with his children from that point forward, usually in the form of belated birthday messages and gifts. As of 2391, Hal is a professor emeritus at the University of Risa, and spends most of his time in any of the planet's bountiful resort communities. | |||
'''Dorothy Greenway''' (b. 2317) is John's mother. She was born on New Melbourne Colony, and is a sixth-generation New Melburnian. The rural and largely undeveloped New Melbourne colony for careers outside agriculture and services, so after completing the first half of a library studies program in a Holoversity on New Melbourne, she left the planet to complete the program at the University of Risa in 2336. She found work in the university's law library, where she worked until leaving the planet in 2362. During her time on Risa, she married Hal Mackellar and had three children during their thirteen-year marriage. Following their divorce, she returned to New Melbourne and raised the children in her family's home. Driven and motivated, but always with a strong sense of family and the importance of doing right, John frequently refers to her as a "saint," and identifies her as an inspiration for much of the humanitarian work he's done in the past. | |||
