Background

Donald Love is a media mogul and property developer in Grand Theft Auto III. He owns Love Media and runs his business from the Love Media building in Bedford Point, Staunton Island.

Love is a rich, polished businessman who runs Love Media and buys property across the city. His interest in Liberty City's gang wars is purely financial: violence lowers property prices, and he buys cheaply.

Events of GTA III

Claude first works for Love indirectly, collecting photos of Love at a "morgue party" in Ray's Evidence Dash. Love then hires Claude directly.

In Liberator, Claude rescues the Old Oriental Gentleman from the Cartel. In Waka-Gashira Wipeout!, Love has Claude kill Kenji Kasen with a Cartel car, starting a war between the Yakuza and the Cartel to drive down property prices. In A Drop in the Ocean, Claude collects packages dropped by a plane. In Grand Theft Aero, Claude retrieves the real package. In Escort Service, Claude protects the Old Oriental Gentleman. In Decoy, Claude distracts the police while the Gentleman escapes.

In Love's Disappearance, Claude finds the penthouse empty, and Love is gone.

Love's missions revolve around the mysterious package and the Old Oriental Gentleman, whose connection to Love is never fully explained. When Claude returns to the Love Media building, Love has vanished, leaving only an empty box behind.

Love's jobs are some of the most varied in the game: an assault on a fortified compound, a political assassination dressed up as a gang hit, a sea pickup, an airport firefight, an escort and a six-star police decoy. Each one pays well, and together they unlock Shoreside Vale and the airport.
