Q
What's McGarrett's background?
A
By the time of the first season, McGarrett's own known family is his sister, Mary Ann Whalen, and her infant son, who is dying of cancer. We're also told he is a former U.S. Navy officer, known both as a bold operator and headstrong. He also suffered from polio as a child. In an 11th season episode, McGarrett describes a bit more background. By the time of the series pilot, McGarrett's reputation is he is responsible only to "the Governor or God" and even they have trouble telling him what to do.
