The BigBad of the series and it's only character, besides the Australian Outback itself, to appear in all five works to date. Raised in the rural boondocks of Eribil, Queensland in the 50s to an abusive tracker father and a weak willed, catatonic mother (both alcoholics) whose family name is sadly losing it's former prestige, young Mick was frequently beaten and downtrodden. One day, while exploring the wilderness with his little sister (and being accosted by a mentally simple man), tragedy strikes. Mick states that the simpleton abducted her, and his father executes the man in vigilante justice, butchers his corpse and leaves it for the dingoes to feast on. However, it gradually comes to light that Mick was not being entirely truthful. Forced to flee, Mick lives off the land and gradually evades his father using their knowledge of tracking behaviour, then camps out in an abandoned shack, having to eat rats and facing a terrible fever to survive. He confronts his parents, and is sent to a foster camp which also hosts Aboriginals. Changing his last name to "Taylor" after his childhood best friend and bullied daily, he eventually retaliates by beating another boy so badly that his eye hangs out of it's socket by the stalk. Only barely evading serious punishment for this, he goes to work on a cattle and sheep farm out in deepest Western Australia as a teenager with several other hard man types who also have a lot to hide.

* PayEvilUntoEvil: Some of his kills in ''Origin'' are definitely this. One of the Others is a disgustingly obese pedophile who abducts children, rapes them in his compound, [[TheCollector steals keepsakes from them]] and leaves them to rot as they escape and fall to his booby traps. He even brings their parents to the burial place if they find his hideout, likely making them aware of their child's suffering just to increase their anguish. Mick finishes him off by [[KarmicDeath forcing him to eat his own guts]]. Another of the Others are a [[TheDividual pair of Serbian brothers]] who run a local crime syndicate and in particular, get off to videos of horrifying sexual torture of people by rats devouring them.
