Macil stands ready to brief the player in the conquerored Order castle

Macil is a character from Strife and later he becomes one of the bosses who hold a Sigil piece, therefore an enemy. He is the leader of The Front.

Spoiler Warning: Plot details follow.

At first, Macil seems to be that type of guy who fights for justice and freedom. First, you have to complete a few missions for him (such as freeing the prisoners). After that, his forces are ready for an assault on the castle and he'll tell you to join the assault and destroy the Programmer. Once the Programmer's dead and The Front has taken control of the castle, will Macil tell you to find the other sigil pieces, and to seek the Oracle. Later, the Oracle will reveal Macil's true interests, by saying that he's the one who holds the "third piece".

At this point, the player can choose to either believe the Oracle's words over trusting Macil, by killing him first (this will cause the "not-so-good" ending to happen), or the player may still trust Macil rather then the Oracle, by killing the Oracle first (this causes the best ending to happen).

If the Oracle dies first, Macil will abandon the Sigil mission and instead tell you about a factory that turns people into Acolytes. The factory is within the commons (he gives you the Brass key, so that you can enter the commons). He wants you to find the factory and shut it down. After you've done so, Blackbird will tell you that Macil was the one who sent 200 people to their deaths and you gonna have to kill him before you can progress. After he's dead, you should get the fourth Sigil piece by now.

Until the Order's castle is captured, it is impossible to actully kill Macil, as he is invulnerable to damage. However, he can be killed any time after you have got two Sigil pieces: doing so will cause his Spectre to come out and attack. Macil himself has 95 Hit points when initially fought. Being possessed by a Spectre causes him to be invulnerable to damage from normal weapons: only when you have aquired two Sigil pieces or more, can you harm him.
