After unveiling her identity, she confiscates [[Elizabeta Torres|Elizabeta's]] cocaine, and can no longer be dated. She is a smoker and may have a criminal past, as hinted by the boss at U.L. Paper.

On the mission [[First Date]], she claims to be new in the city, yet knows where the [[Bowling]] alley is and knows that the Carnival would not pass safety standards. If one chooses to do [[Bleed Out]] before First Date, she immediately suspects him being involved in criminal affairs, despite the fact she shouldn't have had any previous indications. She claims to work with Mallorie, but there is no indication that Mallorie has any job other than the Cab Office.
It is hinted by the [[United Liberty Paper Contact]] that she was in a similar situation as Niko. When she was recruited, she had something to lose but nothing to live for. She is also a smoker, and lies to Niko that she works with [[Mallorie Bardas]].


It is unknown when ''Michelle'' got assigned Niko's case. There is evidence that it is from the start of the game, as she is already lying to Niko, however at this point, there isn't much reason for the government to be watching Niko. There is also the possibility that she is assigned to Niko's case later on, as she seems to have fallen for Niko before she got assigned to him. When she confiscates the cocaine she says: "''Don't make this harder than it already is''". Her lying could be explained in this situation, as she may lie to the whole world, and not just the people shes watching.

Karen is character in the HD Universe appearing as an undercover government official who works for International Affairs Agency through a United Liberty Paper front. Before her identity is revealed, she becomes Niko Bellic's girlfriend under the false name Michelle.

After unveiling her identity, she confiscates Elizabeta Torres' cocaine, and naturally, she and Niko break up.

It is hinted by the United Liberty Paper Contact that she was in a similar situation as Niko. When she was recruited, she had something to lose but nothing to live for. She is also a smoker, and lies to Niko that she works with Mallorie Bardas.

It is unknown when "Michelle" was assigned Niko's case. There is evidence that it is from the start of the game, or before Niko arrives in the city; as she is lying to Niko on their first date.

Due to the nature of the Agency's activities, it was likely discovered that Niko was headed to America, and due to his exploits in Europe, had unknowingly got himself noticed by the IAA. After digging up info on his family and finding that Roman Bellic was related, Karen was told to make friends with Mallorie Bardas, knowing that Niko would inevitably make contact with them.

During a mission for United Liberty Paper, Niko asked what Michelle's reward for delivering Niko was, to which he replies: "Michelle, Karen. We gave her her life back." Other than a brief, tense encounter with her near the start of the U.L. Paper mission strand, Karen is never seen again in the game.

Despite her intentions, it appears as though Karen genuinely fell for Niko during their time together. This is due to the fact that she is sometimes surprised and upset, if after a fair amount of dates, Niko doesn't ask to have sex with her. She is also visibly hurt when she is forced to betray him.

Karen apparently didn't get her life back, as she returns in Grand Theft Auto V, still working for the IAA. She appears in the mission Three's Company interrogating and torturing a man who the Agency claims is dead, Ferdinand Kerimov, before he is "rescued" by the FIB.
