Biography[]
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes[]
McVeigh was a survivor of the Simian Flu Pandemic and began working for Dreyfus by the time Caesar was discovered to speak English in the Redwoods by Malcolm's Group. Dreyfus had McVeigh and his colleague Terry test weaponry including machine guns, just in case war broke out with the extremely smart apes. While practicing firing their guns, Terry and McVeigh were unbeknownst to the fact that three ape scouts, Koba, Grey and Stone, were watching them.
When McVeigh was frightened by Koba, Terry ran over. McVeigh made fun of the bonobo while the two both pointed their guns at him. Koba played dumb, fooling the two dim-witted guards. They shooed the ape away angrily, and went back to target practice, unwittingly revealing to the San Francisco Ape Colony that the humans were preparing for war.
The next day, Terry and McVeigh had just finished target practice and were drinking when Koba reappeared, playing dumb again in order to catch their attention. During his act, Koba took a sip and grabbed McVeigh's rifle, swinging it around, which amused the guards. However, after fooling Terry into lowering his weapon, Koba positioned the gun by its pistol grip and pulled the trigger, shooting Terry dead. Horrified, McVeigh silently begged as Koba pointed the rifle at him, but Koba pulled the trigger, killing McVeigh.
