Common theory is the Viking pantheon and the Einherjaren defended the gates. While the Greek pantheon took care of the seasons like the Fae do now. The rise of Christianity and the Battle of Hastings caused the changeover
morriswalters:
Yes and another says the Jotun abandoned their duty at the Gate, to go fight in the Battle of Hastings. I figure Mac to be a Jotun who got betrayed by his fellow giants when they bailed. Or something to that effect.

The timing seems off for that to be happening at the same time, though - the Norse pantheon was a ging concern way past the Greek.
So I can certainly imagine the changing of the guard at the Gates happening circa Hastings, but the Fae took over the seasons (and the Greeks turned less relevant) before that.

There was a reddit subpost just a few days after I posted this reply that asked if Mac was probably the Walker known as He Who Walks Beside. Which hasn't ever been mentioned in the Dresden Files as far as I remember. But given that the other two walkers are named He Who Walks Before and He Who Walks Behind...
Bad Alias:
I had heard that name before, but not that it was Mac.
