United Liberty Paper: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:42, 2 August 2008

United Liberty Paper (U.L. Paper) is a cover for a government-related organization in GTA IV.

They have a huge amount of influence and authority in Liberty City. Almost no information is given through in-game content other than "They aren't the good guys, but work along side with the good guys" and they aren't the FIB. The organisation offers several missions related to stopping terrorist activity.

Niko is drafted in as undercover hired help after discovering his girlfriend Michelle is actually Karen, who works for the organisation.

Niko's contact at U.L. Paper is a middle-aged man with spectacles, who proclaims to have had a military career prior to his employment in the UL Paper organization.

Niko uses the organisation to find Florian (Bernie Crane), but discovers he should actually be hunting for Darko Brevic, who ultimately gets delivered to him.

Identity

Although the actual organisation remains elusive throughout the story, all of the missions given by U.L. Paper involve halting terrorist activity within the city. The organization is probably not the wp:CIA or wp:NSA, as they are more concerned with gathering intelligence. The Department of Homeland Security is the most logical identity of the mysterious UL Paper organization, as it deals with stopping domestic terrorism and threats to US soil.

-United Liberty Paper is a cover for a mysterious organization that has a huge amount of influence and authority in Liberty City. Almost no information is given through in-game content other than "They aren't the good guys, but work along side with the good guys" and they aren't the FIB. Although a physical manifestation of the organisation remains elusive throughout the story, it becomes somewhat evident what their job is: all of the missions given by U.L. Paper have something to do with halting terrorist activity within the city, which ultimatley sucseeds. It is possible and highly likely that UL Paper is a cover for the United States Department of Homeland Security. The missions given all deal with terrorist activities, adding support to this. The organization cannot be the CIA or NSA, as the NSA and CIA are involved in sensitive, often secret national security operations that deal with intel gathering, not anti-terrorism operations. Since the DHS deals with stopping domestic terrorism and threats to US soil, it is the most logical identity of the mysterious UL Paper organization. Since the threat of terrorism in Liberty City was great and the public was under the impression the terrorist threat had passed, the UL Paper organization felt it necessary to breach protocol and contract outside help, in order to remain secretive and not cause a city wide panic.
-The contact of U.L. Paper is a middle-aged man with spectacles, who had a military career prior to his employment in the UL Paper organization. He is curt and rude, but understanding of Niko, as they are both military men who served their respective countries. Through working for UL Paper, Niko ultimately gets the person he is looking for, Darko Brevic, delivered to him, courtesy of UL Paper (the locating of Brevic was presumably done by an intelligence agency, most likely the CIA, who work in conjunction with the DHS).
