He is the Thane of Fife, and flees to England with the son of King Duncan when the king is slain by Macbeth. In his absence, his castle is ambushed and his wife and children slaughtered. He later fights Macbeth during a war to take back the throne; it has been prophecied that Macbeth cannot be killed by any "man of woman born," but Macduff reveals he was born by Caesarean section, and kills him.
