Niko Bellic

**Niko Bellic** is a registered character. He was originally created in January of 2016, however his new account was created in July of 2018. He has many stories across the RP timeline.

## Biography

### Beginnings

Niko Bellic was born on April 29, 1978 in the Balkans, most likely the former Yugoslavia. He grew up in the harsh environment of the Yugoslav Wars and was a teenage soldier of presumably the Serb-controlled Yugoslav People's Army or its many aligned Serbian paramilitary forces and militias. His squad was ambushed by enemy forces, and he was one of only three survivors.

Niko had trouble finding steady work after the war. Niko's Cousin, Roman, had already moved to America to start a new life in Liberty City while Niko would spend the next decade working in the European criminal underworld. Eventually after having a miscommunication with his current boss, Ray Bulgarin, Niko fled to the merchant navy to escape Bulgarin's influence.

### Move to America

Eventually Niko would move to Liberty City to search for the two survivors of the ambush. After finding the one behind the massacre, Niko would attempt to settle down in Liberty City. Things were a lot more complicated for his cousin than he realized, even after all the commotion was over. With LC seeming to be too dangerous, Niko and his cousin would eventually travel to San Andreas to live a quiet life.

### Relapse

By 2017, Niko and his cousin were struggling for money yet again. Relapsing onto his previous lifestyle, Niko eventually found himself pulled back into the criminal lifestyle, meeting people in high and low places all around Los Santos and Blaine County, leading him to the doorstep of Lester Crest. The two would form a strong business relationship, pulling increasingly audacious heists for years to come. Over time, Niko earned enough cash to start up Bellic Enterprises once again with his cousin.

Niko, Lester Crest and eventually Gary Mitnick would pull off a series of daring heists, ranging from small banks like a Fleeca franchise to the Pacific Standard Bank. This would frequently attract the attention of the FIB and IAA, much to Niko's chagrin.

In 2020, AmbiguX acquired Bellic Enterprises, changing Niko's position from CEO to GM of Bellic Enterprises and a VP of AmbiguX. After robbing the Diamond Casino & Resort with the help of Lester, Gary and a larger crew (Peter Chambers, Cameron Cooksey, Blake Palmer, Patrick McReary, Liam Dwayne and Alyxandra Shepard), he would ironically become part-owner of the complex alongside Peter Chambers, Alyxandra Shepard, Joshua Knight and Lewis Singer.

By 2021, Niko has retired from criminal activities. Whether or not he will be able to keep his hands clean this time remains to be seen.

## Personality

Niko is very protective of his family and loved ones, particularly his cousin Roman, whom Niko constantly has to worry about due to his gambling habit. Roman has an indiscreet nature of frequently getting the pair into trouble. He is withdrawn among strangers, but has good manners, and shows a softer side with love interests

That said, the horrors of war, both witnessed and perpetrated by Niko, have given him a great sense of guilt, and an ambivalence about the value of human life — he warns away pursuers and expresses regret over his past violence, but also feels that killing is all that he can do, readily taking on jobs which necessarily involve murder. Niko is prone to violence after being angered and he has an explosive temper when he is betrayed, manipulated, or his loyalty is questioned, but he is also quick to help the defenseless and unfortunate, even those he merely meets in passing; he apparently possesses a sense of idealism which was wounded by his wartime experiences. Unfortunately, such a split attitude leads to hypocrisy.

Niko's business-like manner usually leads him to behave more maturely and cautiously than his acquaintances. He has an apparent distaste for illegal drugs. He is skeptical of American mainstream culture, which he sees as "shallow" and "hypocritical" and has trouble relating to Roman's fascination with the country. However, he reasons that being in America is far better than back in Serbia due to the country's instability and misery.
