Prior to becoming a werewolf McNair was a hard-working man with a lot of integrity. However, he was captured by four vampires who forced him to fight a werewolf inside a reinforced steel cage. McNair won the fight, but at a cost. He was scarred by the beast and thus infected with the curse of the werewolf. That occurred 16 years before the present day (2011).

In the first episode of series 3, entitled "Lia", McNair is kidnapped by vampires yet again, bundled into the back of a van and dragged into a familiar situation.

Later on Vincent, the creepy leader of the vampire nest, taunted McNair from behind the cage wall. Fortunately for McNair, Thomas snuck into the warehouse and staked the vampire before freeing his father. The two fled before anymore vampires found them, with Thomas informing his father that he had found other werewolves (namely George).

Mcnair and Tom both returned in episode four, when George and Nina found them in the woods to question them about a werewolf pregnancy, but a DNA test carried out by Nina revealed that Tom wasn't actually McNair's son; McNair had killed Tom's parents and infected him when he ran wild during an early transformation, taking him in to try and make up for his mistake. Eventually Mitchell and McNair came into confrontation with each other, which lead to Mitchell handing McNair over to vampires Richard and Emma. Unfortunately, only George, Nina and Tom were kidnapped and forced to fight in the cage, leaving Mitchell and McNair to partner up and save them. This created an uncertain truce between them, to the point that a transforming McNair bypassed Mitchell to attack Richard. Tom and McNair then set off for Cornwall.

Mcnair and Tom return in episode 7, McNair was wounded in a fight with a group of vampires and uses this as an excuse to stay in the hotel for the full moon, where he transforms in Herrick's attic room, with the intention of killing him, but is killed by Herrick who stabbed him in the chest. His body is discovered in a pool of it's own blood by Mitchell the following day, next to an apparently traumatised Herrick. Tom later found McNair's body and buried it in the forest
