Mai's parents died when she was a child. Her father Tethlla Magus died protesting the U-TIC Organization, having been captured by U-TIC and used as a connection experiment test subject at Labyrinthos, where he lost his life.
After losing her father in the Dabrye Mine rebellion, she customized his favorite Auto-Tech Leupold for use in battle and gave it the ability to equip firearms. With Leopold, Mai protects the peace of the Dabrye Mine, baring a vendetta against U-TIC despite not knowing her father's true fate.
However, according to the database, Mai believes in her heart that her father is still alive, and Aizen comments that Mai believes her father's soul lives on in Leupold.
