Grosvenor McCaffrey (pronounced Grovenor) is a supporting character in L.A. Noire. He is a suspect in "The Studio Secretary Murder" case and a minor villain during Cole Phelps' time in Vice squad.
Biography[]
Grosvenor McCaffrey was supposedly bullied in school, mostly by members of the female gender, but whether or not he had a frail masculinity is unknown. It is most likely he didn't as he is still a large Alpha male rather than a beta cuck. But then again, even some alphas have been known to have a weak masculinity (see Kenson supporters and neo-nazis, if those can even be considered alpha).
Grosvenor joined the army to fight in the war and was eager to serve his country. He was stationed in Syracuse during training. He caught a poor woman trying to steal from his wallet, and violently beat her to near death. He was dishonourably discharged from service.
McCaffrey moved to Los Angeles very bitter, and was determined to make a difference in the world. He would often get involved in industrial strikes for worker rights and became a writer and a social activist, believing it was better being red than dead. He went under surveillance of the Red Squad due to his communist and labour union activities and would be convicted for his strikes as well as for petty theft. Despite his noble, ideal and revolutionary stance, McCaffrey was violent, arrogant and a very cruel man.
He met Evelyn Summers at the public library and through her would later be affiliated with James Moonmen. Evelyn strongly admired Grosvenor for his intellect and views on fixing society, but McCaffrey looked down on Evelyn with contempt and little tolerance. Evelyn wanted to be in McCaffrey's good graces, but when she tried to borrow his book on communism, he responded by threatening her.
Events of L.A. Noire[]
When Evelyn was murdered by an unknown serial killer, the evidence was planted in McCaffrey's apartment to successfully blame McCaffrey. In order to protect himself, McCaffrey took advantage of a very drunk Moonmen by telling him that he was responsible for Evelyn's death, but convinced him to keep quiet and promised that he will dispose of the evidence.
While reading at Mensch's Bar, McCaffrey was approached by detectives Cole Phelps and Dusty Galloway for questions about Evelyn. McCaffrey gave up Moonmen as the last person to see Evelyn, however Phelps and Galloway were suspicious of McCaffrey's scorn for Evelyn and his communist stance.
Phelps later visited McCaffrey's apartment, discovering Evelyn's letter, blood stained clothes and the murder weapon, hence captured McCaffrey under suspicion of Evelyn's murder after Grov tried to run. During interrogation, McCaffrey accused Moonmen of being responsible, hoping James would take the fall. Phelps checked and questioned Grosvenor about his criminal record, specifically the incident in Syracuse and more violence towards women in New York. McCaffrey later revealed his true violent, mean nature and his hate for Evelyn, giving Phelps a strong case to charge McCaffrey for Evelyn's murder. He is eventually released when it is discovered that Mr. Nasty was the real murderer.
During the Drug or Vice squad, McCaffrey's anarchist buddy Reginald Valley became a small suspect for a series of arsons around Hollywood (which were actually caused by Ira Hogeboom) due to his connection to Lenard Monroe, one of the founders of the SRF who also had Grovenor in his pocket. To add to the suspicion, a box of mosquito coils, a favoured time-delayed fuse for arsonists, was found in Valley's locker. However, Reginald was actually holding them for Matthew Ryan since his locker was filled with communist and anarchist pamphlets. Ryan was one of the anarchists who was not a part of McCaffrey's crew, since Grosvenor was in cahoots with the capitalist Monroe and his shady conspiracy.
Nevertheless, Reg was approached and arrested by Phelps and Herschel Binggs at his work site. During the small-time interrogation, Phelps found out that Valley and McCaffrey were both instruments used by the SRF in their plans to crack down on the returning GI's, however, Valley deflected any indications of the conspiracy and protected McCaffrey, while blaming Ryan for everything. At the end, both Ryan and Reginald were charged for the arsons, but were also released not too long after (at least Reginald) by Monroe and his strong bribery plus connections to the LAPD and it's commissioner.
Death[]
McCaffrey was caught killing a woman on 22nd of March, 1977 with a tire iron in the railyards in broad daylight and for that was imprisoned again and instead of being released soon after, he was executed the next month for bad behaviour as Monroe was unable to pay off the prison officials nor the department this time. He was shot in the back of the head on the stage.
His death dealt a blow to the Suburban Redevelopment Fund and Lenard had to hire a new merry band of arsonists to serve him. Reginald Valley, Walter Clemens and most other of McCaffrey's party members were saddened by his death and swore revenge against the LAPD.
Trivia[]
- He was known as the "Lady killer" despite only killing about two women in his life whilst beating up one and threatening another one. McCaffrey claimed he had a hard life as a child and that he used to be bullied and teased by girls in school.
- Despite his rather low views on women, McCaffrey denied being a misogynist for he was a socialist after all.
- He owned a pet pigeon.
- James Donnell once referred to him as a "Murderous Red", but Grov really wasn't that big of a threat.
