Niko Bellic is the protagonist (main character) of [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. Niko is of Serbian descent, and has previously fought in the Yugoslav Wars. He is wooed to [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] by the promises of living the American Dream from his cousin [[Roman]], but when this goes sour, he turns to the seedy underworld of Liberty City to build his way to the top. He is a serious, calm and quiet character with excellent hand to hand fighting skills. He's often arguing with his cousin Roman because he always gets into trouble which Niko has to save him from, and because Niko's violent actions often send underworld figures to Roman's way.<br />''Voiced by Michael Hollick''
Niko Bellic is the protagonist and player character in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. Niko is of Serbian descent, and previously fought in the [[wp:Yugoslav Wars]], although it is unclear for which side. He is wooed to [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] by promises of living the American Dream from his cousin [[Roman]], but when his plans go sour, he turns to the seedy underworld of Liberty City to build his way to the top. Niko is a serious, calm, self-reflective character and possesses a deeper intellect and stronger moral guidance than perhaps any other GTA protagonist.  He has been trained extensively in weapon use and hand-to-hand fighting skills. He often argues with his cousin Roman because he always gets into trouble which Niko has to save him from, and because Niko's violent actions often send underworld figures to Roman's way.<br />''Voiced by Michael Hollick''

Can be killed in: Mr and Mrs Bellic (Deal)
Roman Bellic is [[Niko]]'s cousin who has lived in Liberty City for 10 years. Roman claims to be living the "American Dream" and that he has two women, four hot tubs and fifteen sports cars, but in reality he owns a gritty taxi firm in Broker and lives in a small apartment. Roman is also heavily in debt thanks to his gambling habit. When Niko arrives, everything seems to go wrong at once, but together they work their way up. Roman is often harrassed and intimidated by the various criminal figures he owes money to.  He can be killed in the mission [[Mr. and Mrs. Bellic]].<br />''Voiced by Jason Zumwalt''

His life got completely out of hand after he went to prison, and claims he might want to kill himself for it. He needs [[Niko]]'s help to rebuild his reputation.<br />''Voiced by Devin Richards''
