In L.A. Noire, Captain James Donnelly is both respected and feared throughout the department as the pragmatic, no-nonsense Officer-in-Charge of the Homicide desk. This Irish-born LAPD career veteran provides briefings and debriefings to Phelps and the other desk detectives as they work all manner of murder cases across Los Angeles.

Less concerned with the letter of the law and more concerned with hard results, he’s known to push a bareknuckle enforcer’s demand for confessions and convictions. Careers are made and broken on Captain Donnelly’s word. Check out some brand new screens of Captain Donnelly below, which can be seen in high def at his official dossier page on the L.A. Noire website.

Donnelly puts his trust in Phelps to get the job done.

The Captain has no time for questions from a bothersome press.
