Patrick McReary: Difference between revisions

Packie has an addictive personality, as seen in his predilection for alcohol and cocaine. Like Niko, he has a blasé attitude towards violence, but expresses none of Niko's sense of guilt. Many of his issues may arise from his upbringing, particularly from his late father, a violently abusive alcoholic whom Packie blames for the McReary Mob's fall from influence. Packie eventually tells Niko that he was almost molested by their father, but Gerry stopped him and beat their father to a pulp before his suicide. he calls his father a 'pervert' and condemns his memory to "the seventh circle of Hell". Packie is portrayed as a tormented individual, suppressing his emotions under a macho, wisecracking facade. Nonetheless, he and Niko become good friends, and Packie feels that he can trust and confide in Niko. Although, he is more square then he may seem.
