Mac McCullum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Montgomery Cleburn 'Mac' McCullum, a character in the Left Behind series of books.

He was first assigned as first officer of Global Community One, and was reassigned as first officer of the Condor 216 when GC One was destroyed in New York City in the outbreak of World War III. Mac was then promoted to Captain of the Condor 216 when former captain Rayford Steele fled from Global Community employ. He later recruits fellow believer Abdullah Smith to be the Condor's new first officer. Mac was then appointed to the position of captain of the Phoenix 216, with Smith as his first officer, after the Condor is destroyed in Johannesburg, South Africa.

On the night of the Wrath of the Lamb earthquake, McCullum is shocked into considering that the "ravings" of the Christian remnant might just hold water. Seeing the moon turn blood-red, he remembers the prophecy given coverage just a few days earlier in Global Community Weekly, the magazine edited by Cameron "Buck" Williams.

In a matter of days, McCullum becomes a Christian believer, and just in time to take Steele's place as captain of Global Community One, and custodian of the secret listening device installed in the plane by Steele's former boss, Earl Halliday, at Pan-Continental Airlines.

He is presumed dead by the GC after the crash of a Quasi Two off the coast of Israel during a GC air show. The Quasi was believed by the GC to be carrying Mac, Abdullah Smith, David Hassid, and Hannah Palemoon. In truth, they decided to flee the GC Headquarters Palace in New Babylon, Iraq before being forced to take the Mark of the Beast, and were not actually on the Two when it went down (McCullum was controlling it via remote from a air strip in Jordan).
