Biography[]
Mary was born in Los Santos in year 1982. She studied journalism there and graduated in 2002.
Mary's ultimate goal was to become a world-known journalist as soon as possible, so she decided to make her big breakthrough scoop about the very colorful criminal underworld of Liberty City.
Events in Vertigo[]

She meets Messina enforcer Giorgio Timms, when she witnesses him killing storekeeper Vince Nocenti. Mary promises not to deliver the videotape Giorgio's actions are caught in to LCPD if he helps her with her scoop.
Together Giorgio and Mary gather intel by gatecrashing a Panamanian Cartel houseparty and stealing a fellow journalist's research results. Mary's abusive biker boyfriend Russell beats up her and steals her intel to sell it, but he's chased down and killed by Giorgio.
Soon after Giorgio's friend Benny Urbano finds out about Mary's snooping on his businesses, so he sends hitmen to kill her. Giorgio rescues Mary from the hitmen and on her request, takes her to the airport so she can leave back to Los Santos. Liberty City is far too dangerous for her, but so her work wouldn't go for a waste, she gives all the intel she's gathered to Giorgio.
