Niko begins committing crimes while handling Roman's two loan sharks - fighting off Dardan Petrela while working off debt for Vlad Glebov - and assisting Roman's regular customers such as Little Jacob in criminal activity. Upon arriving in Liberty City, Niko realized that Roman's stories of success were entirely exaggerated he actually lived in a small, decrepit apartment, ran a small taxi depot in Hove Beach, and owed gambling debts across the city to several powerful criminals such as the Albanian and Russian mobs. Of the three survivors - himself, Florian Cravic and Darko Brevic, he knew Florian was living in Liberty City. Niko was also "looking for that special someone", namely revenge on a former war buddy who accepted a bribe and got most of the group killed. His cousin Roman sent emails to their entire family saying he lived a lavish life with several luxury homes, sports cars and girlfriends. Niko, his shipmate Hossan Ramzy and others got off the boat to live in Liberty City, possibly permanently, hoping to live the American Dream. Niko spent seven months with the cargo ship Platypus, which eventually headed for Liberty City. Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details are in the text which follows. Bulgarin believed that Niko had intentionally scuttled the ship and stole his money the gangster's reach was too great within Europe, so Niko joined the merchant navy to escape Bulgarin's influence. Niko swam to safety, but everything and everyone else was lost. During a smuggling run from Yugoslavia to Italy the ship sank in the Adriatic.
Niko did at least one prison stint in Europe (that was definitely not for his war crimes as Niko would either be in prison for life or executed), then worked as a human trafficker for Ray Bulgarin. Niko tells Kate McReary that after Roman left Yugoslavia, Roman's mother was raped and murdered but to spare Roman further devastation, he told him she died in a house fire. In 1998 Niko's cousin, Roman had already moved to America to start a new life in Liberty City. Work was hard to come by following the war. Niko concluded that either Florian or Darko had sold the group out, and he vowed to uncover and kill the culprit, not only to gain revenge, but also to hopefully 'close the book' on the incident, and move on with his life. Eventually, Niko's unit of fifteen men (most of them friends from his village) were ambushed by enemy forces, and all but three were killed: Darko Brevic, Florian Cravic, and Niko himself.
He served as a helicopter pilot and an infantryman during the war, and during the mission Easy Fare, Roman alludes to him driving a tank (although given Roman's lack of first-hand experience, this is not necessarily true).ĭuring the war, Niko both witnessed and committed numerous atrocities, which led to his cynical perspective on life, and a certain degree of regret, depression, and emotional detachment. Niko says that he was betrayed "ten years ago", making it closer to 1997 or 1998 (although Florian claims that its was "twelve or thirteen years ago" in a phone call after the mission That Special Someone). Niko grew up in the harsh environment of the Yugoslav Wars, and became a soldier himself as a teenager (The Yugoslav Wars being between 19, this means Niko was only 13-17 years old at the time). In a conversation with Dwayne Forge, Niko says in the place he grew up, they did not have electricity until he was twelve. 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 Patrick McReary, Niko reveals that he had a brother who died during the Bosnian war. Niko and Roman's fathers were abusive alcoholics, whom they both despised Niko's mother, Milica Bellic, was a long-suffering woman, unhappy that her son grew up in such a harsh place. Niko grew up in the same village as Roman, with their mothers and their fathers ( who were brothers). Their nationality is addressed in a handful of other missions, and hints at the same conclusion. It is suggested during " The Cousins Bellic" that Niko and Roman are Serbian when Roman says Niko's English is "better than my Serbian".
