Sullivan (first name unknown) was the Head of Security for Andrew Ryan's Private Forces in Rapture.
==History==
On the surface, Sullivan (first name unknown) was a New York law enforcement officer who worked the "meatball beat" in Little Italy,Sullivan's Audio Diary: Artist's Feud before he became the Head of Security for Andrew Ryan.
Sullivan claimed to have been an honest police officer who was fired from the force after being framed for accepting bribes. Sullivan took to gambling and then his wife ran off with the last of his money. He was about to commit suicide until he met Andrew Ryan, who believed in his honesty and integrity and hired him as his private security chief, an act for which Sullivan was very grateful. Working for Ryan from at least 1944, he was the one who supplied Ryan with news, regarding things such as the end of World War II.BioShock: Rapture, Prologue When Ryan wanted to hire Bill McDonagh as his general contractor, Sullivan contacted McDonagh's employer, Bud Chinowski, to get McDonagh's number.  After Chinowski refused to give it up, Sullivan got McDonagh's number through the phone company instead, managing to hire him.BioShock: Rapture, Chapter 1
