In this work, we give two characterisations of the general linear group as a group $G$ of finite Morley rank acting on an abelian connected group $V$ of finite Morley rank definably, faithfully and irreducibly. To be more precise, we prove that if the pseudoreflection rank of $G$ is equal to the Morley rank of $V$, then $V$ has a vector space structure over an algebraically closed field, $G\cong GL(V)$ and the action is the natural action. The same result holds also under the assumption of Prufer 2-rank of $G$ being equal to the Morley rank of $V$.
