Main Characters Petr Zelenka & Michal Kovařík | translated by: Matt & Alix | 13.02.2009
Niko Bellic



However, Niko is also running away from his past, and another reason is his desire to catch the person who betrayed his old army squad. Niko served in elite army squads, and he knows some martial arts (mostly KravMaga). He also participated in peacekeeping military operations in the Balkans. He spent most of his life in prison.
Roman Bellic



Roman is Niko’s cousin. He has lived in Liberty City for fifteen years. He is afraid of everything, but he is an optimist, a dreamer, and a liar. He mostly makes promises that he can’t keep. He is drowning in loans, and Albanians—later even Russians—go after him. He lives in Broker, where he owns a small, dying taxi service. From the start of the game, he is your only friend and the only connection with other people.
Little Jacob



Jacob, nicknamed “Little Jacob”, is a weapons dealer and a good friend of Roman and Niko. He is a member of a strange sect that uses marijuana at their rituals. He closely cooperates with Niko, who guards him at his dealing operations.
Mallorie Bardas


Roman’s girlfriend
Vlad Glebov

Gerry McReary

You will complete missions for him, too. Gerry is the oldest brother who is not much more intelligent than the rest of the brothers.
