|''Introduced in: The Cousins Bellic''
Niko Bellic is the protagonist and player character in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. Niko is of Serbian descent, and previously fought in the [[wp:Yugoslav Wars]], although it is unclear for which side. He is wooed to [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] by promises of living the American Dream from his cousin [[Roman]], but when his plans go sour, he turns to the seedy underworld of Liberty City to build his way to the top. Niko is a serious, calm, self-reflective character and possesses a deeper intellect and stronger moral guidance than perhaps any other GTA protagonist. He has been trained extensively in weapon use and hand-to-hand fighting skills. He often argues with his cousin Roman because he always gets into trouble which Niko has to save him from, and because Niko's violent actions often send underworld figures to Roman's way.<br />''Voiced by Michael Hollick''

He is wooed to Liberty City by promises of living the American Dream from his cousin Roman Bellic, but when his plans go sour, he turns to the seedy underworld of Liberty City to build his way to the top. Niko is a serious, calm, self-reflective character and possesses a deeper intellect and stronger moral guidance than perhaps any other GTA protagonist. He has been trained extensively in weapon use and hand-to-hand fighting skills. He often argues with his cousin Roman because he always gets into trouble which Niko has to save him from, and because Niko's violent actions often send underworld figures to Roman's way.
