The fifteen man squad | The "fifteen man squad" was a squad (proper name unknown) of child soldiers during the [[Bosnian War]]. Members of this squad included [[Niko Bellic]], [[Florian Cravic]], [[Darko Brevic]], [[Goran]], [[Mijo]], [[Dragan]], [[Dmitar]], and eight other unnamed members. All had grown up together in the same town, and all were 15 years of age or younger{{fact}}. | ||
Sometime during the war, the squad was ambushed by enemey forces; Niko escaped. He believed that the squad couldn't have been ambushed unless someone within the group had sold them out; he travelled back to where the ambush had taken place, and saw a large pit with the squad members dead inside. After picking through the bodies, Niko realised that two others were missing: Florian Cravic and Darko Brevic. | |||
Concluding that one of the two had been the traitor within the squad, Niko vowed to track down and kill the culprit. Unknown to Niko, Florian would flee to [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]], and Darko to Bucharest, Romania. | |||
Fifteen years later [[2008]] Niko arrived in Liberty City, both to visit his cousin [[Roman]], and to track down Florian Cravic, whom he had learned was living there. Eventually, Niko tracked Florian down — the latter had "come out" as homosexual, and was having a fling with Liberty City's closeted deputy mayor, [[Bryce Dawkins]]. He protests his innocence, and Niko is angered to know that he will not get his revenge any time soon — he has no idea where Darko Brevic could be. | |||

Later in the game, an informant at the [[U.L. Paper]] Company locates Darko as a favour to Niko, and kidnaps him from Bucharest, leaving him at [[Francis International Airport]]. Niko interrigates Darko, and discovers that Darko had sold the squad out for $1,000 to fund his heroin addiction. Niko is all the more appalled that he and his friends were sold out over such a paltry sum; they argue, and Darko notes that [[Goran]] had killed Darko's friends and neighbours, giving Darko another reason to betray them. Darko also calls Niko a hypocrite, knowing that Niko has killed for money too. The decision to kill Darko or let him live is then left to the player. | |||
