Biography[]
Background[]
John Donovan was born around the 1930s to unnamed parents and later attended Princeton University in 1953 before being recruited into the CIA. In 1954, Donovan was assigned to depose of the Guatemalan president Jacobo Árbenz during the Guatemalan Revolution, and worked alongside fellow agent Connor Aldridge. After ending the revolution, Donovan became good friends with Aldridge, admiring him and seeing him as being what America represented. During the height of the Vietnam War, Donovan was assigned as a paramilitary operations officer while Aldridge was tasked with infiltrating the North Vietnamese Army to create double agents. While during operations in Vietnam, John saw the brutality of the war and would suffer from trauma later on, due to actions such as mutilating the elderly mother of an NVA officer. While training soldiers, Donovan met Corporal Lincoln Clay, becoming his mentor in tactics and close friend.
Around 1963, Donovan learned that Aldridge had defected to the NVA and Soviets due to being disillusioned with the United States, and was tasked with eliminating the traitor. Donovan would intercept Aldridge's contact and confront his former friend, but failed to kill him due to Aldridge getting the upper hand. When Aldridge tried to threaten him into revealing intel, Donovan laughed in his face and revealed that the traitor's network in Vietnam was already being rounded up and destroyed at this moment. Aldridge attempted to kill him in retaliation but a few nearby soldiers saved Donovan while Aldridge escape.
Mafia III[]
After Lincoln's foster family was murdered by the Marcano crime family, he decided to contact Donovan to have him assist in getting his revenge. Going to New Bordeaux, Donovan provided intel, equipment, and weaponry for Clay and his crime family, and also acted as his trusted adviser. Around this time, John managed to get his tabs to locate Aldridge, and decided to have Lincoln assist him since he knew Aldridge was supplying a nuclear warhead. Donovan succeeded in stopping Aldridge with the assistance of Lincoln, and killed his former friend for being a traitor to America. Once Lincoln eliminated all of the Marcanos, Donovan advised him to eliminate his underbosses - Vito Scaletta, Thomas Burke and Cassandra to become the crime boss in New Bordeaux's underworld. After Lincoln chose to either kill his underbosses or leave New Bordeaux, Donovan left the city and the CIA due to his actions.
Donovan would be called to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in 1971 to testify for Lincoln's revenge on the Marcano crime family, and mainly spoke to Senator Richard Blake on recounting the events. After testifying, Donovan confronted Blake by asking him where he was when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and accused the senator of being part of it. John revealed that after Sal Marcano was killed, Donovan looked up files and found that Blake was tied to the assassination since the mob wanted him dead. He then revealed that he had smuggled a gun into the hearing and killed Blake in front of everyone, warning his co-conspirators that they would be next. After smiling and waving at the congress he then exited the room To the unknown.
