Aiden O'Malley

Background

Born in Dukes around 1959, Aiden O'Malley spent most of his adult life in Ireland and Britain, where he was linked to dissident republican paramilitary groups during the Troubles, most likely as a backer or smuggler. In that world he met Derrick McReary, then a Provisional IRA volunteer, and he also worked with Bucky Sligo. In 1995 he was convicted of a string of robberies on Derrick's testimony and sentenced to twenty years. From prison he complained bitterly about Derrick's role, and Bucky threatened Derrick's family on his behalf. His police file also records civil disobedience in 1972 and resisting arrest in 1974.

Events of Grand Theft Auto IV

In 2008 O'Malley offers the police information that could lead to several arrests and gives testimony at the Varsity Heights police station in Algonquin. In Tunnel of Death, Niko Bellic and Packie McReary wipe out his police escort inside the Booth Tunnel and drive off with the Police Stockade carrying him back to Alderney State Correctional Facility. After shaking off the police in Alderney, they move the grateful prisoner into a less noticeable car and take him to the cliffs in Leftwood. There Packie tells him that Derrick arranged the breakout, to O'Malley's disgust, and orders Niko to execute him with any weapon. His body falls down the cliffs into the sea and is later recovered and identified by the police.
