Angus MacGyver

Angus MacGyver is a highly resourceful intelligent, optimistic action hero who prefers non-violent conflict resolution wherever possible. He refuses to carry or use a gun due to a childhood accident with a revolver that resulted in the death of a friend. This was shown in episode two of Season 4 (Blood Brothers) when MacGyver goes back to his home town and meets two childhood friends and in flashbacks, we see the accidental death of friend Jesse by a bullet from a falling gun. In the first episode "Pilot," MacGyver fires an AK-47 at some Russian soldiers. This episode was before his dislike of firearms was established. The character is portrayed as an outspoken advocate of gun control. Even in cases where his improvised devices are used to attack hostile opponents, he is always doing so in self-defense and, if possible, subduing or disabling rather than killing. He is often suspicious of militaristic attitudes within the government; he sees his Phoenix Foundation employer as an alternative to the more conventional (and violent) means of law enforcement. He was born and raised in Minnesota on either January 23, 1951. He's a Troubleshooter. . Anyway, Pete and MacGyver were investigating as you were a creation of Murdoc, a human laboratory creation, one to be like a robot but different, like a weapon... they investigated this for months, and they knew exactly where Murdoc hid you. Pete and MacGyver saw that you were harmless as you were a new creation, so you didn't know what your powers or skills were or what you could. .
