Being born on Lao-mon, Macros had two Shi'ido parents. Living in a society of shapeshifters is strange at best, but it was all he knew. Just like other Shi'ido, Macros had a strong level of telepathy and the ability to shapeshift, but he was also extremely Force-sensitive. At age 20, Macros started using the Force to enhance his shapeshifting abilities. Most Shi'ido his age could only do minor things such as change the color of their skin or imitate similar humanoid beings, but Macros found himself to be able to do much more.
