Character information
Biography & background:
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Donald McCreedy grew up the oldest of 7 siblings. His family was extremely impoverished growing up and his father's avid drinking habits never helped the situation. Don's family barely scraped by, with his mother, him and many of his siblings taking jobs around town, when that still wasn't enough they could rely on Don's uncle to pay for basic necessities.
Don's uncle, Hosea McCreedy, was a rich, shady and influential man that carried respect in the neighborhoods he "owned". Don never understood why his mother despised him despite the money he brought in for the family he otherwise shouldn't give a shit about. Don very quickly grew up seeing his uncle as an amazing man, and a better father than his real dad could ever be.
Hosea's respect and attention wasn't earned freely, and at the age of 14 sent Don on his first "job", dealing marijuana behind their tenement. Don at this point would do anything to get the attention of his uncle and accepted happily. The cut of money Don earned from this helped him make life easier at home, and it sent him spiraling into a life that would eventually consume his morality.
At 16, Donald dropped out of High School to work with his uncle full-time. Hosea had him move less-than-legal merchandise through warehouses and other jobs throughout the city. Despite his age, the other thugs knew not to mess with him unless they wanted to deal with his uncle's temper, a trait he quickly picked up on.
At 17, Hosea gave him his first gun, and a week later he took his first life. A mugger outside of his usual dealing spot jumped him, and in a quick series of events Don murdered him. Running away from the scene of the crime, he sprinted back to his uncle in shambles. Arriving at his uncle's feet, crying, he told him what had happened, and Hosea told him to grow up and not be such a pussy. Donald McCreedy took those words to heart.
Throughout his adult life Don took many jobs for his aging uncle. From things such as armed extortion to being a bouncer at one of his uncle's nightclubs, he did whatever he was told to do. His personal relationships didn't matter as he shut out old friends and flung himself from one girlfriend to the next. The closest thing he had to "family" at that point being his uncle.
