*[[Niko Bellic]]: The playable protagonist, | *[[Niko Bellic]]: The playable protagonist, through whose eyes the player sees the world of the game. He is morally upstanding and logical despite his criminal life, but is often shown to have authority issues. He is also more cynical and pessimistic than is good for him. He seems to sort people into three categories: | ||
*[[Roman Bellic|Roman]], [[Brucie Kibbutz|Brucie]], [[Little Jacob|Jacob]], [[Kate McReary]] and [[Bernie Crane|Bernie]]: The '''optimists''', people Niko likes because of their positivity, and they all try in vain to encourage Niko to be more optimistic.

Many are foolish and could be mistaken for comic relief, but they do offer pearls of wisdom about life and success, a realization that Niko must make at the same time. Other interesting cases are [[Ivan Bytchkov|Ivan]] and [[Hossan]], both immigrants like Niko but with much more confidence in the American way of life. | ||

Packie and Dwayne especially become friends of Niko because of their shared struggle; Niko confides in Dwayne remarkably early in their relationship "you remind me of me". It's also notable that he relates well to [[Jon Gravelli]] and his bleak sense of humor, despite an enormous age gap, other lifestyle differences and Niko's traditional dislike of his bosses. | ||

Paper|UL Paper]]; [[Manny Ecsuela|Manny]], [[Elizabeta]] and [[Playboy]]; [[Ray Boccino|Boccino]] and [[Jimmy Pegorino|Pegorino]]: The '''corrupt''', people Niko doesn't like because of their greed or immorality. He had to take orders from all of them, considers killing most of them at least once, and inevitably kills above one third of them. This, combined with his dislike of capitalism, shows that Niko has authority issues and can't stand corrupt people in power. | *[[Vlad Glebov|Vlad]], [[Dimitri Rascalov|Dimitri]], [[Mikhael Faustin|Faustin]] and [[Ray Bulgarin|Bulgarin]]; [[Francis McReary|Francis]] and [[U.L.
