 MacGinnis is very much a man of direct and forceful action, lacking Fisher's delicate touch and thoughtful, planning nature.MacGinnis' association with Burns is not a happy one; after a first encounter in which MacGinnis definitely has the upper hand, at a later meeting Burns tackles MacGinnis to the ground, breaking his leg in the process.He returns to the fray once it has healed, only to break it again in a nasty fall, and having been tricked out of his prize by the real Sam Fisher is assumed to have retired hurt from his chosen profession.
