Mackenzie "Mac" Cory is a fictional character from the daytime soap opera, Another World.

Mac was one of the Another World's most popular characters, and his pairing with Rachel Davis, portrayed by Victoria Wyndham, was one of the show's most beloved couples.

Mac had an affair with Paulina's mother, Maria Hernandez DeSilva, 30 years prior when he was a reporter covering the revolution in San Cristobal.

Mac was forced to return to the United States, but he had planned to bring Maria over eventually.

Mac Cory first arrived in Bay City in 1973 to support Iris, whose son, Dennis, was ill.

He decided to permanently settle down in Bay City and set up an office of Cory Publishing there.

Mac also formed a close bond with Rachel's son, Jamie, while Iris fumed over the relationship.

As a wedding present, Mac bought Rachel the mansion by the bay she used to walk by as a child and dream about living in.

Mac also was a surrogate father to Rachel's sons Jamie (with Steve Frame) and Matthew (with Mitch Blake).

In 1988, Mac learned that Iris, who had returned to Bay City after an eight year absence, was in fact his biological daughter.

Rachel teamed up with Donna Hudson and Cass Winthrop to investigate, and found out "The Chief" was none other than Iris herself.

Mac was devastated by the revelation that Iris was responsible for both the hostile takeover attempt of his company and for having him temporarily framed for murder.

Although she eventually fell in love again and remarried years later, a part of her heart would always belong to Mac.
