In [[2008]], he moved to [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] to get rich with his cousin [[Roman Bellic|Roman]], but instead ended up involved in a life of crime. | ||

Work was hard to come by following the war. In 1998 Niko's cousin, Roman had already moved to [[United States of America|America]] to start a new life in Liberty City. Niko tells [[Kate McReary]] that after Roman left Yugoslavia, Roman's mother was raped and murdered but to spare Roman further devastation, he told him she died in a house fire. Niko did at least one prison stint in Europe (that was definitely not for his war crimes as Niko would either be in prison for life or executed) , then worked as a human trafficker for [[Ray Bulgarin]].

Niko did at least one prison stint in Europe (that was definitely not for his war crimes as Niko would either be in prison for life or executed) , then worked as a human trafficker for [[Ray Bulgarin]]. During a smuggling run from Yugoslavia to Italy the ship sank in the Adriatic. Niko swam to safety, but everything and everyone else was lost. Bulgarin believed that Niko had intentionally scuttled the ship and stole his money; the gangster's reach was too great within Europe, so Niko joined the merchant navy to escape Bulgarin's influence. | ||

At the end of the game, a [[Weazel News]] report states that Niko is wanted for questioning by the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|police]] (although not as a suspect), for the events at his [[Mr and Mrs Bellic|cousin's wedding]]. It is assumed Niko steers clear of the questioning as he already dealt with the situation personally. | At the end of the game, a [[Weazel News]] report states that Niko is wanted for questioning by the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|police]] (although not as a suspect), for the events at his [[Mr and Mrs Bellic|cousin's wedding]].

As | It is unknown what happens to Niko after the events of Grand Theft Auto IV, however it can be assumed that after the '''Revenge''' ending Niko stays in Liberty City as Roman and his new family are pretty much all he has. As all of the people who would want to kill Niko are dead anyway, he wouldn't feel as if he needs to look over his shoulder anymore. Even Ray Bulgarin had been [[Departure Time|recently killed]] elsewhere by Luis Lopez unbeknownst to Niko. It should be noted that coming up to the end of the game, Niko reveals to Kate McReary that he doesn't want to live the crime life anymore, so it appears that he may have ceased and cut all of his criminal ties. Meanwhile in the '''Deal''' ending, Niko tells Mallorie that "Your child will never worry about anything", suggesting he would have taken care of his dead cousin's child. Niko also mentions to Phil Bell that he is leaving the criminal life. | ||

[[Lester Crest]] mentions an Eastern-European (Niko) who was known for making big moves in Liberty City, but has since been quiet (retired), and thus become hard to contact. Later in the mission [[The Paleto Score]], if [[Patrick McReary]] is chosen for the heist, [[Michael De Santa]], [[Trevor Phillips]], and [[Franklin Clinton]] are all discussing their first score. Patrick mentions his first score was nothing big, but brings up the [[Three Leaf Clover|Bank of Liberty heist]], mentioning Niko by name. During his description, he states that [[Michael Keane]] was killed, [[Derrick McReary]] is dead by this point, and that he presumes Niko is dead. Therefore it is assumed that Niko and Patrick cut ties with each other completely by the end of [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. This would have obviously been whenever Packie left for Los Santos via a flight at Francis International Airport towards the end of 2008. | ||
Niko's [[Lifeinvader]] page can be seen on [[Jimmy De Santa]]'s laptop in GTA V. A few of his friends can be seen to the side, [[Brucie Kibbutz]], [[Little Jacob]], and [[Roman Bellic|Roman]] and [[Mallorie Bardas|Mallorie Bellic]]. This means that Roman is still alive, and the '''Revenge''' ending is canon, so therefore Roman is alive, and [[Kate McReary]] is deceased. This is known because Lifeinvader did not exist throughout the events of Grand Theft Auto IV or any time beforehand. It is assumed to have been founded by [[Jay Norris]] at his parents' house sometime between 2009 and 2013, so therefore everyone with a profile could only create them during that time period. | |||

He also tells Trevor that despite this, the two still became friends. | ||
*If the player switches to [[Michael De Santa]] in GTA V sometimes he will be in his dining room with [[Jimmy De Santa]] and [[Tracey De Santa]], Jimmy is looking at Niko's [[Lifeinvader]] page on his laptop. It appears that Niko has given up his life of crime and is living a normal one with Roman which was what he wanted to do when he moved to Liberty City. From what we can see on his profile, he appears to be happily moving on with his life. He has even put up a few pictures of the sights in [[Algonquin]]. | |||
*By the events of GTA V in 2013, as Niko is retired, it appears he still keeps in touch with his remaining friends and family, including [[Roman Bellic|Roman]], [[Mallorie Bardas|Mallorie]], [[Brucie Kibbutz|Brucie]], [[Little Jacob]], and [[Dwayne Forge|Dwayne]] (if spared in [[The Holland Play]] which is likely canon) as they are pretty much all he has left after the events of GTA IV, as [[Patrick McReary|Packie]] had moved to Los Santos. This is evidenced by the fact that he has a majority of them on his friends list on [[Lifeinvader]]. | |||
*On YouTube, in a video uploaded by GTA Series Videos, the video uploaded highlights a look back at Michael's life on his Lifeinvader profile, and one of the photos shared shows Michael and Franklin bowling with Niko and Roman in one of the bowling alleys in Liberty City, obviously meaning Roman is still alive and that the revenge ending from GTA IV was the canon one, as was previously hinted on Lifeinvader easter eggs in GTA V. The photo is dated November 2013, which was a few months after the events of GTA V. It is likely that Franklin went on a trip to Liberty City to visit his cousin Tavell with Michael. Although it is possible the photo isn't canon and is just fan made. | |||
