Niko Bellic: Difference between revisions

It is unknown what happens to Niko after the events of Grand Theft Auto IV, however it can be assumed that after the '''Revenge''' ending Niko stays in Liberty City as Roman and his new family are pretty much all he has. As most of the people who would want to kill Niko are dead anyway, he wouldn't feel as if he needs to look over his shoulder anymore. Even Ray Bulgarin had been [[Departure Time|recently killed]] elsewhere by Luis Lopez unbeknownst to Niko. It should be noted that coming up to the end of the game, Niko reveals to Kate McReary that he doesn't want to live the crime life anymore, so it is possible he may have ceased and cut all of his criminal ties. Meanwhile in the '''Deal''' ending, Niko tells Mallorie that "Your child will never worry about anything", suggesting he would have taken care of his dead cousin's child. Niko also mentions to Phil Bell that he is leaving the criminal life.

In [[Grand Theft Auto V]] Niko is mentioned directly a few times. [[Lester Crest]] mentions an Eastern-European (Niko) who was known for making big moves in Liberty City, but has since been quiet (retired), and thus become hard to contact. Later in the mission [[The Paleto Score]], if [[Patrick McReary]] is chosen for the heist, [[Michael De Santa]], [[Trevor Phillips]], and [[Franklin Clinton]] are all discussing their first score. Patrick mentions his first score was nothing big, but brings up the [[Three Leaf Clover|Bank of Liberty heist]], mentioning Niko by name. During his description, he states that [[Michael Keane]] was killed, [[Derrick McReary]] is dead by this point, and that he presumes Niko is dead. Therefore it is assumed that Niko and Patrick cut ties with each other completely by the end of [[Grand Theft Auto IV]].  

Niko's [[Lifeinvader]] page can be seen on [[Jimmy De Santa]]'s laptop in GTA V. A few of his friends can be seen to the side, Brucie Kibbutz, Little Jacob, and Roman and Mallorie Bellic. This means that Roman is still alive, and the '''Revenge''' ending mission is the canon, therefore Roman Bellic is alive, and Kate McReary is deceased. This is known because Lifeinvader did not exist during the events of Grand Theft Auto IV or beforehand. It is presumed it was founded by [[Jay Norris]] sometime between 2009 and 2013, so therefore everyone could only create their profiles between that time.
