Gregory MacAllister

Gregory MacAllister was a publicist and friend of Priscilla Hutchins.

Biography
In 2223, MacAllister travelled to the doomed planet Maleiva III aboard the Evening Star to watch the destruction of the planet by Morgan's World. While there, journalist Casey Hayes convinced him to let her interview him, and he arranged for the two of them to be shuttled down to the surface. During an unexpected earthquake, their shuttle was destroyed with the pilot inside, and the pair's subsequent escape attempt in a stolen shuttle ended with Casey's death and the second shuttle's destruction.

Stranded as such, MacAllister was forced to stay with the Academy's research team from the NCA Harold Wildside, led by Priscilla Hutchins.

Personality
MacAllister was a professed misogynist. He generally held himself in very high regards, and was convinced of his moral and intellectual superiority over most people in general and women in particular. He was a passionate atheist, and to this end funded or supported numerous causes attacking, legislating against, or suing churches and organised religions.

Despite his arrogance and narcissism, he was skilled at manipulating people, and well aware of the effect his reputation and fame could have on them, something he knew to use to his advantage.
