Relationships
As the junior
field agent of the team, McGee is often subject to ridicule from the likes of DiNozzo and David, and to some extent, Gibbs. This is often in reference to his inexperience in the field, with other characters getting pushy in order to teach him a lesson on the harshness of the job.Fact|date=September 2008When in stressful or uncomfortable situations (as seen in Grace Period when dealing with the death of a friend), McGee will retreat to Abby's forensics lab.
Hobbies
McGee has a passion for computers and enjoys playing games often relating to tactical warfare and covert infiltration. McGee uses a

Episode 8, season 5.] This is shownFact|date=September 2008 to be an interest shared by his sister Sarah, as seen in the episode 'Red Cell', when she takes over his live war game as he leaves his flat.McGee also enjoys writing mystery/crime booksFact|date=September 2008, though this is kept a secret from the NCIS team for a long time.Fact|date=September 2008 Under the pseudonym 'Thom E. Gemcity' (an anagram of 'Timothy McGee'), he has penned at least two novels as part of the Deep Six series.Fact|date=September 2008 The title of the first book, 'Deep Six: The Continuing Adventures of L.J. Tibbs' suggestsOr|date=September 2008 there have been previous novels, but these have yet to be named. The next of McGee's books to be released, and sequel to its predecessor is entitled 'Deep Six: Rock Hollow'.Fact|date=September 2008 In the episode 'Cover Story', Rock Hollow becomes a center point in that the NCIS team are investigating a murder, when McGee reveals everything that has taken place has been part of the book he is currently writing. It is then discovered that the story was stolen from the typewriter ribbon McGee threw out with the trash, and that Abby is the next victim. McGee realises the murderer is actually a fan of his from his local coffee shop, and quickly acts to save Abby's life. It is here, Abby uses her parallel character from McGee's book to explain to him that 'they are all wrong for each other'.
McGee's writing has apparently given him enough fame to be recognised and feted as a minor celebrity and enjoy perks such as VIP clubbing (as seen in the episode Friends and Lovers). McGee has ostensibly used the profits from his writing to purchase such things as a Porsche Boxster (as seen in the episode Twisted Sister), and an Armani leather jacket (Dead Man Walking).
The characters in McGee's books are actually based on the NCIS team, with
Leroy Jethro Gibbs as L.J. Tibbs,Anthony DiNozzo as Tommy,Ziva David as Lisa,Abby Sciuto as Amy Sutton, Jimmy Palmer as Pimmy Jalmer, and himself as McGregor. This displeases some of the NCIS team, and McGee is victim to constant torment from Ziva and DiNozzo for many episodes thereafter.Fact|date=September 2008References
