Nikolai "Niko" Bellic is the protagonist (main character) of Grand Theft Auto IV. He has a strong Eastern European accent. Judging by the surname, it is likely he is from a former Yugoslav country, such as Croatia, or Bosnia, where surnames ending with -ic (pronounced like 'itch' and simply meaning "child of") are incredibly common. He could also be from Russia since Seryoga, a russian rapper, was on the backround music on the second trailer with the song "King Ring".

In the debut trailer he has a brief monologue: "Life is complicated; I killed people...smuggled people...sold people. Perhaps here, things will be different."

In his mid-thirties, he travels to Liberty City on the promise of a new life by his cousin Roman, only to be disappointed by his lies - at which point the player of GTA IV takes control.

Niko's fake resume claims his objective is to "rise to the top of my profession in Liberty City," that he has experience in criminal law with cases like manslaughter under his belt. He also claims that he deals with the emerging markets in the West Indies (especially 'Jamaica and Puerto Rico'). He also claims to have been the associate attorney at Mediterranean Shipping Enterprise, and an intern at a police force. His school is supposedly 'Walford University' in the UK. He has supposedly been in the "Balkan Peace Force" and has extensive military training.
