Mack Bolan, alias The Executioner, is a fictional character who has been serial in over six hundred novel with sales of more than 200 million, according to Amazon.com. Created by Don Pendleton, Bolan made his first appearance on the printed page in 1969's War Against the Mafia. Pendleton wrote thirty-seven other novels featuring Bolan, often referred to as the "Mafia Wars". In 1980, Pendleton sold his rights to the character to Gold Eagle who hired a number of ghostwriters to continue publishing Bolan monthly to keep up with reader demand worldwide. Don Pendleton remained credited as the sole author and supervised these new adventures which traveled the Bolan character all over the world fighting terrorism. This new series of books featured Bolan as a principled warrior fighting larger than life adversaries in the spirit of a tougher American version of James Bond. The demand for the books continued and Gold Eagle began releasing as many as fifteen titles annually. In addition, Bolan was "spun off" into several new adventure book series which also carried the Mack Bolan/Don Pendleton names and sold extremely well. As of 2009, there are more than twelve Mack Bolan novels published every year worldwide by Gold Eagle Books, a division of Harlequin Books.

When asked his name and rank in Colorado Kill Zone, he replied, "Bolan, Mack Samuel, Master Sergeant." Bolan was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, of Welsh-Polish heritage, eldest of the three children of steelworker Samuel Bolan and his wife, Elsa. Bolan enlisted in the Army at age 18 and served two tours of duty in Vietnam as a Green Beret, even though newer novels don't make any reference to this as it makes him seem too old.

Bolan became an expert sniper with 90+ kills to his record, earning him the nickname The Executioner. For all his lethal capability, Bolan was deeply compassionate, becoming known as Sgt. Mercy because of the aid he often gave to Vietnamese civilians and those who needed help.

During his service in the Vietnam conflict, Bolan became highly adept at penetration & intelligence gathering, guerilla warfare, marksmanship and munitions. He also became a skilled armorer.
