Random Characters in GTA IV Era
Sick freaks to avoid.
- in-game website description
Random Characters are minor characters found standing on the street in Grand Theft Auto IV, its episodes, and Chinatown Wars. Their presence is indicated by a small blue person icon on the radar. They provide Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz, Luis Fernando Lopez and Huang Lee with small storylines and minor missions. Some random characters only appear at certain times of the day.
The achievement/trophy "No More Strangers" for GTA IV involves locating all of them and helping each one out at least once. Most of the random character missions are required for completion. This is one of the more difficult aspects of completion without a guide as the icons only appear when Niko is close to the person, and some, such as Ilyena, are located where Niko might not travel in the normal course of missions or friendship outings.
