History[]
Past[]
Derrick McRearywas born is 1956 in Liberty City and he is the oldest son of Mark and Maureen McReary. He is the older brother of Francis McReary, Gerald McReary, Patrick McReary, and Kate McReary. At some point, he joined the terrorist group known was the IRA where he became close friends with Bucky Sligo.
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
52 years later in 2008, he returned from Ireland and is first snorting cocaine with Patrick, Gerald, and their mob buddy, Michael Keane. He robbed the Bank of Liberty alongside Niko Bellic, Packie, and St. Michael who was killed, though he and the others managed to escape the law. After Niko ran errands for Packie, Gerry, and Frankie, Packie asks Niko to help out Derrick to "complete the set" and help his entire family.
After meeting with Derrick in a public park where he's been spending his share of the money on heroin and he first asks Niko to track down a former friend Bucky who wants to kill Derrick and his family for leaving the IRA. Later, he asks Niko to protect a man named Kim Young-Guk while he brings counterfeit money into the United states. Finally, Derrick will ask Niko to break another former IRA member known as Aiden O'Malley out of a prison transport bus and bring him somewhere private to kill him before he gives the authority information about Derrick that would put him in prison.
Death[]
After Francis hears that Niko has been helping Derrick with various jobs without telling him and risks his career since Derrick would likely expose his corruption as a LCPD commissioner, so he orders Niko to kill him. In this mission, the player is given the choice to kill either Derrick or Francis.
Even if Francis is killed, Packie will confirm that Derrick is dead by 2013 if he was chosen to partake in the Paleto Score.
Personality[]
According to Francis, Derrick, in his words is the worst among the McReary brothers. This has been proven to be accurate since Derrick is a heavy drinker and an extreme addict, which might have led to his death around 2013 even if Francis is killed. He also takes little things personal as he is easily angered about those who against him and orders Niko to kill them.
However, during the bank robbery, Derrick shows his genuine feelings about the matters as he tries to calm the civilians about them robbing a bank, ensuring the hostages that they are only there to take the money and argues with Packie that they put the hostages through a lot that day. This suggests he at least cares about the safety of the innocents.
In the past, Derrick is initially sounds like a more positive individual in Kate's words, describing as "having a big dream".
Trivia[]
- Even if the player chooses to kill Francis instead of Derrick, he will still die as he is confirmed dead by Packie in Grand Theft Auto V.
- It is theorized that Derrick is the one who ratted out Gerry. This is supported with how he betrayed Buck and Aiden. Both of said who Derrick said betrayed him, although Aiden said that he's the one who rat.
