He was also guilt-ridden at his various actions during the Cold War, notably helping to establish the dictatorship in Chile and working with South Africa's apartheid regime in Angola. McCall had a strained relationship with his father, whom he blamed for remaining overseas and leaving him at boarding school while his mother was dying. His mother was a working-class American entertainer and his father was disinherited by his family and shunned by his regiment for being seen to be marrying beneath himself. His father, William, was a British Army officer who was killed in Egypt in 1952 when McCall was 19 and also an army officer. He enjoys classical music (playing the piano himself), fine wine and dining and is occasionally seen dating and trying to live a "normal" life, only for work or his past to get in the way. McCall appears to be independently wealthy, as although he almost never takes payment for his work, he owns a high-end apartment, is always well dressed and drives a Jaguar XJ6 car (registered 5809-AUG). McCall also lost a woman he was in love with, a fellow operative named Manon Brevard, and discovers that she had secretly given birth to his daughter, Yvette. Scott comes back into his life as a young adult who is at first bitterly critical of his father's world, but then becomes drawn into that world to the dismay of both of his parents. McCall himself is divorced, a "lost dad" long estranged from his son, Scott ( William Zabka). He quits and takes out a newspaper advert offering his services to those who need it as The Equalizer.
