Donald Love is a recurring character in the 3D Universe of the Grand Theft Auto video game series, serving as a major character in the 2001 video game Grand Theft Auto III, a minor character in its 2002 prequel Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and the tritagonist of its 2005 prequel Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
He is depicted as a wealthy media mogul with macabre hobbies. Throughout his appearances, Love meets some protagonists (Tommy Vercetti, Toni Cipriani and Claude), enlisting the latter two's help to different tasks he gives to them to further his own agenda to make profit for himself or get rid of his rivals. He is best known among fans to be one of the most despicable and disgusting characters in the series.
He was voiced by Kyle MacLachlan in GTA III, by Cam Neely in GTA Vice City (though he was not given a speaking role) and by Will Janowitz in GTA Liberty City Stories.
Actions and Characteristics[]
- Despite Grand Theft Auto's infamously high heinous standard, Love easily stands out as one of the worst ones the series has offered, being an opportunistic businessman who solely thinks about his own profits and manipulates his associates to commit heinous actions for him, such as ordering Toni Cipriani to murder several of his opponents and their supporters in order to win the elections, and pressuring him into the bombing of the heavily populated Fort Staunton to kill one man and then using the stolen intellectual property of Avery to head the redevelopment and real estate projects of the neighborhood, earning billions of dollars in the process. He also ordered Claude to murder Kenji Kasen, the leader of the Yakuza, so it will trigger a war between the Cartel and the Yakuza.
- He is the most powerful character that has graced the series so far, being a multi-billionaire who has vast connections with some notable figures such as Toni Cipriani and Claude, and using them to contribute to his own power.
- Unlike most of the other villains of the series, he is never presented as an enemy of any protagonist, and have successfully escaped with no given punishment whatsoever, thus having won without the protagonists or the authorities ever finding out, showing his highly manipulative and charismatic personality.
