+'''Derrick McReary''' (Irish: Darragh Mac Ruairi) is a character in the [[HD Universe]] appearing in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. He is a 52-year old member of [[McReary|McReary Family]] and the oldest sibling of the five.
+== Description ==
+Derrick was born to [[Maureen McReary]] and [[Mr. McReary]] in [[Dukes]]. Born in [[1956]], he is the oldest one of their children, followed by [[Francis McReary|Francis]], [[Gerald McReary|Gerry]], [[Patrick McReary|Packie]] and [[Kate McReary|Kate]]. He was arrested at three different protests in the early [[1970]]s, all before he was 18. In [[1978]], he and [[Bucky Sligo]] were both arrested for armed robbery. He was arrested in [[1980]] for cocaine possession and according to the LCPD, his heroin addiction was picked up in prison. In [[1985]], the last of his American criminal record was him getting caught carrying explosives.
-'''Derrick McReary''' (Irish: Darragh Mac Ruairi) is a 52-year old member of [[McReary Family]] and the oldest sibling.
+Derrick left for Ireland in the late 1980s when he was depressed, according to Packie in [[Three Leaf Clover]]. Francis allegedly threw him a farewell dinner in Chinatown. Derrick, Bucky and [[Aiden O'Malley]] (all Irish men from Liberty City) all fought in the [[:wp:Provisional IRA|Provisional IRA]] against the British during [[wp:The Troubles|The Troubles]], once fighting in heavily armed combat in Belfast, Northern Ireland (so says Derrick during Three Leaf Clover). Their combat ended by [[1995]], when the trio was arrested in the US for a string of extremely violent robberies (they robbed the mafia, according to Francis) and Derrick snitched on them. Aiden was sentenced to twenty years in prison, Bucky won his trial, and Derrick stayed in Ireland for years after, until returning to Dukes in [[2008]].
-== Description ==
+He seems to be the most compassionate of all the McReary children, as is shown with the way he tries to calm down and negotiate with the bank staff and customers during the heist. Derrick wanted the money from the bank heist to be sent back to Ireland in order to help the "cause" (was most likely going to be given to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Irish_Republican_Army Real IRA] to purchase weaponry), however Packie refused to let him do so, saying that the cause was over. When his brother, Francis, discovers that Derrick has returned to Liberty City, he worries that he will reveal Francis' corruption to the press for money. He [[Blood Brothers|talks with Derrick in a park]], as part of an attempt to use Niko to kill him, thinking that he must go outside the law to take down his brother. Niko has a choice of who to kill. The player does not receive anything from Derrick for killing Francis.
-Derrick has a drug and alcohol problem, so [[Patrick McReary|Patrick]] asks [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] to keep an eye out for his brother's safety. Derrick has recently returned from Ireland where he assisted the Provisional IRA in fighting the British. Two of Derrick's old friends, [[Bucky Sligo]] and [[Aiden O'Malley]], believed that Derrick snitched on them to the authorities and constantly threatened him and his family as result, despite Derrick's claims of innocence. The accusations from his former friends caused him tremendous grief and fuelled his drug addictions, although Packie will eventually reveal that he did snitch on them.
+In [[Grand Theft Auto V]], set in 2013, Packie mentions that Derrick is dead if he is brought along on a heist. How or when Derrick died is not elaborated on, though it can be assumed that he was either shot by Niko, or he at one point died of an overdose due to his drug-addiction, in the five years between the two games.

 == Trivia ==
-* Derrick, according to his brothers and Niko, fought in the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and was a volunteer in the PIRA. This is chronologically correct as the Troubles in Northern Ireland ended in 1998, making Derrick around his 20s and 30s when he volunteered in the 70s or 80s. Respectively, this makes Derrick 52 years old as of 2008 (GTA IVs Setting.)
+* Derrick's portraits are hung on the wall inside the [[Steinway Beer Garden]] and [[Lucky Winkles]] bar. This probably means that Derrick is in some way an idol or emotive symbol to the [[Irish Mob]] due to his past.
-* Despite his soft spot for civilians, which was shown in the bank robbery of the Bank of Liberty, he is extremely dangerous and trigger-happy.
+* Derrick's favorite radio station is [[The Journey]].
-* When in the mission "Three Leaf Clover", while fighting the cops and NOOSE, Derrick will often yell "Shit! It's just like being back in the Troubles!", or "I ain't seen combat like this since Belfast!", this is yet again another reference to the Northern Ireland Troubles, and proves he was in Ireland at the time, and was involved or witnessed many gunfights between the RUC/British Army and PIRA.
+* If he was killed in the mission "Blood Brothers", his tombstone at the [[Steinway]] graveyard like his brothers, but with the gravestone stating; "Here lies Derrick McReary, Brave, Honest, Shot Dead".
-* Derrick's portraits are hung on the wall inside the [[Steinway Beer Garden]] and [[Lucky Winkles]] bar.
+* If Derrick did succumb to his addiction to heroin, he would be one of the few characters in the [[Grand Theft Auto series]] to die of an overdose. Much like [[Ashley Butler]] if she is not killed by [[Trevor Phillips]].
-* Derrick drives a [[Willard]].
-* If he was killed in the mission [[Blood Brothers]], his tombstone at the [[Steinway]] like his brother, but with a small gravestone saying; "Here lies Derrick McReary, Brave, Honest, Shot Dead".
-* [[Francis McReary]] threw Derrick a farewell dinner in Chinatown before he went to Ireland.
-* Derrick's most favourite radio station is [[The Journey]].
-* Derrick and Packie slip about who they are during the bank robbery.
