-'''Miles O'Donovan''' is the mayor of [[Liberty City]] who succeeds [[Roger C. Hole]], remaining in office at least up to events in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], which takes place in 2001. Not much is known about O'Donovan, except that he has ran for mayor unsuccessfully prior to Hole's election. He apparently has had a past of corruption, drug abuse, and prostitution. After his election, he helped end industrial action by ferry worker by reassuring them that there would always be a place for ferries in the city (despite this promise, ferries ceased to exist by the time [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]] and [[GTA III]] take place).
+'''Miles O'Donovan''' is a character from the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series who appears in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] in a minor role. He is the Mayor of [[Liberty City]] from 1998 until at least 2001, the setting of [[Grand Theft Auto III]]. O'Donovan was voiced by John Braden.
-In the final mission of the game, [[Salvatore]] is confident that O'Donovan will drop the charges against him, so [[Massimo Torini]] kidnaps O'Donovan, and after [[Toni Cipriani|Toni]] and Salvatore save O'Donovan and kill Torini, he is indebted to Salvatore and remains in the Leone's pocket.
+Miles O'Donovan ran against [[Roger C. Hole|Mayor Roger C. Hole]] in the previous election for the position of Mayor in Liberty City, presumably in 1994. However, O'Donovan failed but had gained support due to a series of scandals that Mayor Hole was involved in. However, it is rumored that O'Donovan himself has a past of corruption, drug abuse and prostitution.
-Though not featured or mentioned in GTA III's storyline, O'Donovan is said in the official GTA III website to have endorsed nail guns and has done little good for [[Liberty City]], except the increase of hardware stores by two folds since his election.
+He runs for Mayor a second time following Mayor Hole's death at the hands of [[Toni Cipriani]]. Cipriani and [[Salvatore Leone]] (Don of the [[Leone Family]]) oppose O'Donovan with their own candidate: [[Donald Love]]. Cipriani campaigns for Love, however after a link between Love and the Leone Family are found, Love loses most of his popularity and fortune.
-Miles O'Donovan was voiced by John Braden.
+Following his election victory, O'Donovan helped to end the industrial action of ferry workers on [[Portland]] and [[Staunton Island]]. O'Donovan promised that the [[Ferry|ferries]] would remain in Liberty City and that jobs would not be lost. Despite his promise, the ferries stopped transporting between Portland and Staunton Island between 1998 and 2000 (the setting of [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]]. The ferry terminals, by 2000, had been demolished and paved over.

+O'Donovan, as one of his first moves, has the [[Liberty City Police Department]] arrest Salvatore Leone, putting him on trial. Salvatore Leone is released after Cipriani kills [[Paulie Sindacco]] and increases activities against the [[Sindacco Family]] and the [[Forelli Family]]. Salvatore, in his belief that O'Donovan will drop the charges, leads to [[Massimo Torini]] (member of the [[Sicilian Mafia]] and opponent of Salvatore]] to kidnap O'Donovan. He takes the captive Mayor to [[Portland Rock]], and ends up indebted to Toni and Salvatore after they rescue him. Salvatore tells the Mayor that he belongs to him, and from then on has the Mayor in his pocket.
+O'Donovan does not appear in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], but is mentioned on the [[Liberty Tree]] website. O'Donovan is said to have endorsed nail guns <ref name="Nail Guns">{{cite web | url = http://www.rockstargames.com/libertytree/may2001/story3.html | title = Mayor O'Donovan Denies Misuse of Government Funds Over Nail Gun Fiasco| work = Joel Stahlman and Liberty Tree| accessdate = | accessyear = }}</ref> (his brother is CEO of Donovan Hardware) and has done little good for Liberty City, except the increase of hardware stores by two folds since his election. This includes little work on transportation, such as the closure of the ferries and lack of improvement on the [[Portland El]]. However, O'Donovan had made some improvements, including promising to renew the [[Red Light District|Red Light District's]] license and revamp the area. <ref name="Red Light Revamp">{{cite web | url = http://www.rockstargames.com/libertytree/mar2001/story6.html | title = 'Red Light' Licenses up for Renewal| work = [[Thomas Shaw]] and Liberty Tree| accessdate = | accessyear = }}</ref> O'Donovan, in April 2001, also purchases police helicopters for the Liberty City Police Department <ref name="LCPD">{{cite web | url = http://www.rockstargames.com/libertytree/apr2001/story2.html | title = Police Helicopters To Help Fight Crime| work = Trudy Fink and Liberty Tree| accessdate = | accessyear = }}</ref>
