;Childhood, and the Yugoslavian Wars | |||
Florian was born in [[1978]], in the same small Serbian village as [[Niko Bellic]] and [[Roman Bellic]]. He fought alongside Niko in the Yugoslav Wars, also befriended Roman, and wanted to be a wrestler according to Niko. He worked in an abattoir (a slaughterhouse) in those years, which he found unpleasant. He was a deeply closeted homosexual at the time, and used to speak in a more masculine voice (which is heard in [[Weekend at Florian's]], when he becomes very angry). | Florian was born in [[1978]], in the same small Serbian village as [[Niko Bellic]] and [[Roman Bellic]].

In his last days in the war as a teenager, he joined Niko, [[Darko Brevic]], and [[Fifteen Man Squad|twelve other soldiers]] on a mission into enemy territory. Darko secretly sold information to their enemies for $1,000 towards his drug addiction, and twelve of the boys were killed with the exception of Niko, Darko and Florian. Florian correctly assumed that it was Darko, but unlike Niko he had no drive for revenge and decided to start fresh by moving to the United States. | In his last days in the war as a teenager, he joined Niko, [[Darko Brevic]], and [[Fifteen Man Squad|twelve other soldiers]] on a mission into enemy territory.

;Liberty City | |||
As early as [[1995]], Florian moved to Liberty City, where he changed his name to Bernie Crane (shunning "Florian Cravic" as if it were a split personality) and felt comfortable being an outward homosexual. At a foam party at the famous gay club [[Hercules]] (opened in [[1998]] by [[Anthony Prince|"Gay" Tony Prince]]), he met Deputy Mayor [[Bryce Dawkins]], who he started dating afterwards. | As early as [[1995]], Florian moved to Liberty City, where he changed his name to Bernie Crane (shunning "Florian Cravic" as if it were a split personality) and felt comfortable being an outward homosexual. In [[2003]] and [[2004]], he was arrested for soliciting sex and holding ecstasy. At a foam party at the famous gay club [[Hercules]] (opened in [[1998]] by [[Anthony Prince|"Gay" Tony Prince]]), he met Deputy Mayor [[Bryce Dawkins]], who he started dating afterwards. Bryce used his influence to protect Bernie from the LCPD, suggesting they met during or after 2004. | ||
In 2008, Niko Bellic traveled to Liberty City for a number of reasons, one being to track down Florian and kill him if he was in fact identified as the traitor. After much work for many crime syndicates, mobster [[Ray Boccino]] pointed Bellic in the direction of [[Talbot Daniels]], a presumable sexual partner of Florian's. Niko and Roman forced Talbot to direct him to Bernie's apartment, barged in and pointed a gun at him. Bernie insisted that he is innocent and Niko was convinced, vowing to track down [[Darko Brevic]]. | In 2008, Niko Bellic traveled to Liberty City for a number of reasons, one being to track down Florian and kill him if he was in fact identified as the traitor.

Bernie later asks Niko to help him, as he is constantly harassed over his sexuality by everyone from [[Hating The Haters|common skinheads]] to Bryce's many blackmailers ([[Dimitri Rascalov]], a major Russian mobster and coincidentally a mortal enemy of Niko's, and to a lesser extent [[Thomas Stubbs III]], another politician who secretly [[Knowing Me, Knowing You|bugged]] [[Infernus|Bernie's Infernus]]). Niko eliminates all of these problems, and Bernie eventually gives him the Infernus, both of them unbeknownst it was bugged by [[Johnny Klebitz]] of [[The Lost MC]] earlier. Bernie is later seen during [[Mr and Mrs Bellic]] (both scenarios), in the background as one of the wedding guests. | Bernie later asks Niko to help him, as he is constantly harassed over his sexuality by everyone from [[Hating The Haters|common skinheads]] to Bryce's many blackmailers ([[Dimitri Rascalov]], a major Russian mobster and coincidentally a mortal enemy of Niko's, and to a lesser extent [[Thomas Stubbs III]], another politician who secretly [[Knowing Me, Knowing You|bugged]] [[Infernus|Bernie's Infernus]]).

After Niko [[That Special Someone|confronts]] Darko, Bernie is the first person Niko tells about it (not counting Roman, who personally witnessed it). If Niko chooses not to kill Darko, Bernie congratulates Niko on his restraint - either way, Bernie encourages Niko to forget the past and find happiness with a fresh start. Bernie is later seen during [[Mr and Mrs Bellic]] (both scenarios), in the background as one of the wedding guests. | ||
