His siblings consisted of brothers [[Derrick McReary|Derrick]], 23, [[Francis McReary|Francis]], 16, and [[Gerald McReary|Gerald]], 6, [[Kate McReary|Kate]] being born in the following year. Born and raised in [[Dukes]], he has never been outside [[Liberty City]], except for [[Alderney|Alderney State]]. Packie's father was a violent, perverted alcoholic whom Packie blames for their Mob's fall from influence. He says of his father "I used to think I loved him, but then I realized I hated him". He eventually admits to Niko that his father molested him and Gerry. He has been using drugs since he was 14, also staying home from school to roll joints for his dad. He has an addictive personality (not quite as bad as Derrick, but a rising issue), as seen in his predilection for alcohol and cocaine. He began a life of crime very early, having chosen Gerry as a role model, and was arrested for stealing a car when he was 18. In 2000, when he was about 21, his father died - possibly a suicide, or by Gerry. | ||
Packie, on the surface, portrays himself as strong and without feeling. But when drunk or otherwise confiding in Niko, he is shown time and time again to be suppressing deeply painful emotions. For example, he will lament that "the world is ugly and unkind", question what being a man is all about, and contemplates suicide. He doesn't seem to seriously consider immediately and directly killing himself, but does glamourize the idea that he will die young of a drug overdose. Compared to Niko, Packie is equally capable of violence and criminal activity, and feels less guilt. He does, however, still hold certain moral standards; If you kill too many hostages during the mission [[Three Leaf Clover]], the mission will fail and Packie would say that he doesn't take this bloody money. | Packie, on the surface, portrays himself as strong and without feeling.
