Roman Bellic

Overview

Roman Bellic is Niko's cousin and the first friend Niko can hang out with in Grand Theft Auto IV. He becomes available after Bleed Out and First Date are complete, and he calls frequently, most famously to ask Niko to go bowling. Keeping Roman happy is easy because he enjoys almost every activity.

Activities

• Eating at restaurants and fast food places.
• Drinking at bars.
• Bowling, pool and darts.
• Strip clubs and shows such as cabaret and comedy.

Roman lives in Broker early on and moves to Algonquin later in the story. Pick him up in a decent car, because he comments on the vehicle you arrive in.

Special ability

When Roman's like reaches the required level, he offers a free car service. Calling him sends a taxi from his company, usually driven by the grumpy Mohammed, that will pick Niko up even when he has a wanted level. If Roman dies in the Deal ending, the service ends.

Tips

• Accept his invitations when convenient; declining lowers like.
• Activities he suggests himself give the biggest boost.
• Roman is drunk after drinking, so expect him to stumble and be talkative.
