Donald McNally

Donald McNally is an intern at the Phoenix Jackson Museum of Curiosities.

Donald is a very anxious young man. Prior to the PCs joining the Museum, he was the only intern at the Museum. As a result, he had full control over the filing system, and no one understands it except him. Every time Kieran Anville attempts to rearrange it, Donald immediately returns it to the way it was with no explanation.

It is difficult to tell at any given moment whether Donald is a painfully shy man who has no experience with women, or whether he believes himself (wrongly) to be a master manipulator of women.

Donald is obsessed with the novel Brideshead Revisited and its adaptations. His idea of an extremely romantic date with Ellison Prince is to invite her over to watch all 659 minutes of the BBC Brideshead Revisited miniseries with Jeremy Irons. He is adamant that there is no homoerotic subtext in this story.

Donald is aggressive in his pursuit of women as long as it does not involve directly confronting a woman he is romantically interested in. Donald has hid in a men's bathroom to avoid a confrontation with Ellison Prince, but also threatened to blackmail Charlotte Odette if she does not help him get into a relationship with Ellison.

For some reason, Donald has a closer relationship with Patrick Cooper than almost anyone else. Patrick was able to talk Donald down from a panic attack at the Museum when even Adeline Vance could not.

Charlotte Odette
Donald approached Charlotte at her dorm one afternoon. He told her that he was aware of the allegations that she had broken into another student's dorm room to obtain information about him that she subsequently publicised, resulting in his expulsion. Donald demanded that she use her ability to dig up dirt on people to his advantage, and manipulate Ellison into a relationship with him, on threat of making this information more well known. Charlotte lightly fobbed him off.

After the events of the Madison King Memorial Website, Charlotte asked Donald to collect some personal items from her dorm room and bring them to her before she left town. Donald did not do so, but later disclosed to Kieran that he had taken some trophy or another from Charlotte's personal possessions which he was now keeping. In the same conversation, Donald insinuated that Kieran's relationship with Cephus Mamiodes resembles the relationship that Donald has with Patrick, though it was not clear what he meant by this.
