Niko Bellic: Difference between revisions

It is suggested that Niko was born in Yugoslavia (though his nationality is made a mystery in the game on purpose) and grew up in a small town in modern-day [[wp:Serbia|Serbia]], close to his cousin, [[Roman Bellic]]. His father was an abusive alcoholic, whom Niko despised; his mother, [[Milica Bellic]], was a long-suffering woman, unhappy that her son grew up in such a harsh place. He also had a brother who died during the Bosnian war. According to the dialogue in the mission, [[Taking in the Trash]] Niko dreamt of becoming an astronaut when he was a child. In a conversation with [[Dwayne Forge]], Niko says in the place he grew up, they did not have electricity until he was twelve. In a conversation with [[Kate McReary]], Niko says that he found out his aunt (Roman's mother) was raped and murdered, some time after Roman's departure to the United States; knowing Roman would be even more devastated if he knew the true circumstances of his mother's death, Niko covered up what happened, telling him that she died in a house fire.
