Cormac was born in the colony of Ireshire to a very storied family. As he claims, his family tree goes back thousands of years to the ancient Druids of Ireland. This influenced from a young age to have a fascination with his culture, not just as an Irishman but as a Terran as well. Growing up he immersed himself in old books and family trees, and spent his free time watching and reading movies and books from old archives. This colored his personality, for better or for worse as he wanted to share his hobbies.
As he got older, Cormac heard about new research taking place to create a technological replication of natural forces; or as it was being refered to, Magitechnology. Almost immediately he became focused on, someday, using that technology; if just to feel that much closer to his ancestors. Much to his dismay, it turned out that the technology was being developed by the military, and only a select few individuals with specific certification could qualify, and one of the requirements was to possess a college degree. Despite his love of his culture and history, he had never been an academic, so he thought he was out of luck. Until on day an advisor mentioned that a university on Terra Nova offered a degree in the Arts of the Second Millenia. As rough as college would be, he felt that he would be able to commit himself to it.
Cormac made it into university, and the years passed by as he completed his degree. When finally he graduated, he left his diploma with his parents and immediately went to the recruitment office to apply for the MTek program. His degree got him into the basic training, but he found he would once again need to dedicate himself to learning if he wanted to make the final cut. He had the fitness and performance of the soldiers, but needed to prove he was also capable of contending with the eggheads who were in it for the science aspect. The day came and the final selection was made, and Cormac had made it, if just barely. From that day forward, Cormac felt he was at least one step closer to his ancestors.
