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 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. | Derrick left for Ireland in the late 1980s when he was depressed, according to Packie in [[Three Leaf Clover]].

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. | 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.
