== Biography ==
==Character history==
Early in GTA Liberty City Stories, JD is depicted as an outcast within the ranks of the [[Sindacco Family]] for not being full-blooded Italian and is upset that they have not "made" him yet. The disgruntled JD becomes a mole for the [[Leone Family]] and starts leaking them information.
Joseph Daniel O'Toole is an [[United States|American]] resident of [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]], a member of the [[Sindacco Family]] and the manager of [[Paulie's Revue Bar]], named after Sindacco Family [[Boss|Don]] [[Paulie Sindacco]]. He has been arrested, at an unknown time, for statutory rape, although O'Toole claims she was eighteen, and is suspected by the [[LCPD in GTA III Era|Liberty City Police Department]] to be downloading child pornography. O'Toole, having an Irish ancestry, is upset with Paulie Sindacco as he has yet to be "made" due to not being a full-blooded Italian. O'Toole then [[Snuff|begins to work]] for the [[Leone Family]] and employs [[Toni Cipriani]], after Cipriani kills some Sindacco mobsters at a construction site in [[Hepburn Heights]], which O'Toole filmed to release later as a snuff film.


He helps out by thwarting an attempted assassination of [[Salvatore Leone]], tipping Toni Cipriani off to an assault on a Leone gaming house, and helping to blow up the Sindacco's brothel/casino ([[The 'Dolls' House]]). These victories eventually lead to a gang war in the Red Light District, where the Leones manage to drive the Sindaccos out of the area (and out of Portland in general). Paulie's Revue Bar comes "under new management" and is later converted into [[Luigi's Sex Club 7]].
Cipriani first helps O'Toole by driving his [[Rumpo|van]] around the [[Red Light District]] to allow O'Toole to get his cut from his [[Prostitutes|prostitutes]] and then informs him that the Liberty City Police Department are going to raid his club, allowing Cipriani to rescue Don [[Salvatore Leone]]. O'Toole continues to feed Cipriani information, allowing Cipriani to [[A Volatile Situation|protect]] a Leone casino in [[St. Marks]] and then to [[Blow Up 'Dolls'|destroy]] the Sindacco run [[The 'Dolls' House|'Dolls' House]] casino.


JD was once arrested for statutory rape, even though the girl he slept with was said to be 18. He was also suspected of downloading child pornography, but was never arrested for it. At first, Toni finds him revolting, but they develop a bit of camaraderie as JD's info leads to Toni's rapid ascension within the Leones.
Cipriani begins to work for Salvatore Leone and his wife, [[Maria Latore]], but again works for O'Toole, firstly [[Salvatore's Salvation|rescuing]] Salvatore after he was kidnapped from Paulie's Revue Bar and later [[The Guns of Leone|protecting]] Salvatore when he personally goes to kill Sindacco mobsters at the club. O'Toole later has Cipriani follow [[Massimo Torini]], a high ranking member of the [[Sicilian Mafia]], who Salvatore correctly suspects is planning something in the city. Salvatore later decides to 'make' O'Toole and has Cipriani and [[Mickey Hamfists]] accompany him to the [[Harwood Autocrusher and Junkyard]], where O'Toole is killed by a shot to the back of the head, fired by Hamfists, who explains that O'Toole could not be trusted after turning against the Sindacco Family. Cipriani later disposes of his body, dumping the body and car into the sea.


JD is killed on the day of his "made" ceremony. He is lured to a secluded area beside the [[Harwood Autocrusher and Junkyard|car crusher]] in [[Harwood]] and shot at the back of the head by a Leone enforcer, [[Mickey Hamfists]] - under Salvatore's orders; the ever-paranoid Salvatore could never trust a former snitch. JD and the car where he is killed in are then dumped into the sea (of the player's choice). JD's execution (getting shot in the back of the head inside a car in a secluded area while on an apparent assignment) is much like the execution of Paulie Gatto in the novel and film "The Godfather". The fact that he is set up to be killed on the day he is to be made is also reminiscent of the film "Goodfellas."
==Legacy==
O'Toole's decision to work with the Leone Family results in a conflict between the Leone and Sindacco families and the [[Diablos]], which is won the Leone Family, allowing them to take control of the [[Red Light District]]. His former club is taken over again by [[Luigi Goterelli]] and is renamed [[Luigi's Sex Club 7]]. This decision also marks the beginning of the end to Sindacco interests on Portland Island and later Liberty City.
