==Characters==
Japanese Voice	English Voice 	Character 	Description
? 	Michael Hollick 	Niko Bellic 	An Eastern European who previously fought in the Yugoslav Wars as part of a Fifteen Man Squad, possibly for Republika Srpska, although it is unclear which side he fought on. He is moved 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 a strong moral guidance. 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.
? 	Jason Zumwalt 	Roman Bellic 	Niko Bellic's cousin who has lived in Liberty City for 10 years. Roman claims to be living the "American Dream" and that he has two women, four hot tubs and fifteen sports cars, but in reality he owns a gritty taxi firm in Broker and lives in a small apartment. Roman is also heavily in debt thanks to his gambling habit. When Niko arrives, everything seems to go wrong at once, but together they work their way up. Roman is often harassed and intimidated by the various criminal figures he owes money to.
? 	Coolie Ranx 	Little Jacob 	A Jamaican arms/drug dealer who resides in an apartment in Schottler with his friend Real Badman. He and Roman Bellic are good friends, and Niko Bellic purchases weaponry from him when he gets a good friendship level with him. He serves as a helper and accomplice to Niko in some missions. He has a thick Jamaican accent, and besides the shootouts with his enemies he is a peaceful character.
? 	Timothy Adams 	Bruce Kibbutz 	A steroid-abusing fitness buff which is very proud of what he has achieved in wealth and body. In a "rage," he offers missions for Niko Bellic that involve racing vehicles and killing people. He is fairly wealthy and makes appearances on the radio.
? 	Ryan Johnston 	Patrick McReary 	The youngest of the McReary siblings. He lives with his mother and sister in Meadows Park. He sometimes works for Elizabeta Torres, but has his own agenda after his brother's return to Liberty City. While working with Niko Bellic, he sets up a bank heist in Chinatown and the kidnapping of a Mafia boss' daughter in exchange of diamonds.
? 	Devin Richards 	Dwayne Forge 	An "old-school" gangster who's been in prison since the early 90s for crack distribution, only to be released into a completely unfamiliar environment, with an emphasis on "showboating" and "bling". His life got completely out of hand after he went to prison and claims he might want to kill himself for it. He needs Niko's help to rebuild his reputation.
? 	Misha Kuznetsov 	Vladimir Gleboy 	A Russian loan-shark and mobster. He claims to be very powerful in the underworld, but actually runs a low function. He runs the Hove Beach neighborhood in Broker with an iron fist. He offers Niko's first real batch of missions working for money. He treats Niko with disrespect and refers to him by derogatory names such as "yokel" and "serf". Vlad is employed by the much more powerful Mikhail Faustin.

==Plot Elements==
*Niko Bellic, an Eastern European ex-soldier, arrives in Liberty City aboard a cargo ship, the Platypus, to escape his criminal past, pursue the American Dream, and search for the man who betrayed his unit to an ambush during a war ten years prior. Reuniting with his cousin Roman, he discovers that his tales of riches were lies concealing his small, dirty apartment, unprofitable taxi company, gambling debts, and disputes with loan sharks.
*Niko begins assisting Roman with his problems, which leads him to make his first criminal contacts in the city. He befriends Yardies second in command Little Jacob and is forced to work for Vlad Glebov, Roman's Russian loan shark, whom Niko eventually kills upon learning he had slept with Roman's girlfriend, Mallorie.
*In retaliation, Niko and Roman are kidnapped by Russian mobsters on orders of their boss Mikhail Faustin and his lieutenant, Dimitri Rascalov.
*Indifferent to Vlad's murder, Faustin releases them and employs Niko as a hitman, eventually ordering him to kill the son of Russian crime lord Kenny Petrović.
*When Petrović threatens retaliation, Dimitri convinces Niko to assassinate Faustin. However, he then betrays and brings Niko to his former employer, Ray Bulgarin, who accuses Niko of stealing from him during a botched human trafficking job years earlier.
*Niko denies the allegation and a firefight ensues, allowing Dimitri and Bulgarin to escape.
*Dimitri's men burn down Niko and Roman's apartment and taxi company, forcing them to flee to Bohan.
*While Niko finds work with several local drug lords, Dimitri kidnaps Roman in a failed attempt to lure Niko into a trap.
*Later, Niko discovers that his romantic interest, a woman named Michelle, is a government agent, who then entraps him into working for her agency.
*In exchange for the murders of several known or suspected terrorists, the agency clears Niko's criminal record and assists him in searching for the traitor he seeks.
*Niko and Roman's fortunes improve when the latter receives a large amount of insurance money from his destroyed business, which he uses to rebuild it and buy an apartment in Algonquin. Roman also proposes to Mallorie, who accepts.
*While working for the Irish Mob, Niko befriends gangster Patrick "Packie" McReary and helps him and his brothers carry out various jobs, including a major bank robbery.
*Niko is later hired by Ray Boccino, a caporegime in the Pegorino crime family, to oversee a diamond deal, which goes awry. Boccino repays Niko by helping him find his ex-comrade Florian Cravic, now known as Bernie Crane, who claims he was not the one to betray their unit. Niko concludes that the traitor was Darko Brevic, the only other survivor.
*Niko continues working for the Mafia in Liberty City and eventually earns the trust of Don Jimmy Pegorino, who orders Niko to kill Boccino after suspecting him of being a police informant.
*Niko also helps Packie kidnap Don Giovanni Ancelotti's daughter to ransom her for the diamonds, but Bulgarin intercepts the exchange. In the ensuing firefight, the diamonds are lost.
*Eventually, the government agents find Darko in Romania and bring him to Liberty City for Niko to decide his fate.
*Afterwards, Niko is summoned by Pegorino for one final favour: to help with a highly lucrative heroin deal in collusion with Dimitri. Niko must either agree to work with Dimitri or exact revenge on him...
**If Niko goes through with the deal, Dimitri betrays him again, kills Pegorino, and attempts to kill Niko via an assassin, who accidentally kills Roman at his wedding; Niko retaliates by tracking and murdering Dimitri.
**If Niko chooses to exact revenge, he kills Dimitri aboard the Platypus, prompting a furious Pegorino to target Niko but accidentally kill Packie's sister Kate, whom Niko had been dating, at Roman's wedding; Niko retaliates by tracking and murdering Pegorino.
*Later, either Mallorie or Roman tells Niko that Mallorie is pregnant.
