For the entire plot, you must read each [[Missions in GTA IV|mission article]] separately.'' {{Spoiler}} The [[protagonist]] of [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] is [[Niko Bellic]], an Eastern European. In the very first [[cutscene]], Niko is with a friend on a ship, the [[Platypus]], preparing to dock at [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]]. After Niko's friend, Hossan (later a [[Random Character]]), says that he would like to stay in Liberty city, and ''live the dream'', Niko explains that his cousin, [[Roman Bellic]], is ''already'' living the American dream. When Niko meets Roman, it turns out that he isn't living the dream at all. In fact, he is at the bottom of what he calls the ''food chain''. Roman insists that he ''will'' become rich some day, and all he need is one man, one good man. He believes that this man is Niko. It turns out that Niko has his own problems. Niko starts to tell his story, but Roman fall to sleep. All that Niko gets to say is, "''During the war, we did some bad things, and bad things happened to us. War, is where the young and stupid are tricked by the old and bitter into killing each other. And I was very young, and very angry. Maybe that is no excuse''". He also mentions the ''two things'' that brought him to Liberty City, but does not elaborate. When Niko goes to meet Roman at his taxi depot, he meets Roman's girlfriend, [[Mallorie Bardas]], and one of his loan sharks, [[Vladimir Glebov]]. Vlad seems to be interested in Mallorie. Vlad also hates Niko staring at him. Niko runs a few errands for Roman while he settles into the city. This involves saving Roman from some loan sharks that are beating him up. The player learns that Niko had his own loan shark back in the ''old country''. [[Rodislav Bulgarin]], he had too many connections, Niko had to flee. It is '''one''' of the reasons that Niko came to Liberty City. Niko picks up a friend of Roman's, named [[Little Jacob]]. He also picks up Mallorie and one of her friends, [[Michelle (GTA IV)|Michelle]]. Niko and Michelle go on a date. Niko takes her to the ''fun fair'', but it is closed. They go [[bowling]] instead. On [[girlfriends in GTA IV|dates]], Michelle won't tell anything about her life, or past, and Niko can't tell her about his criminal life either. Michelle says she's new in [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]], yet she seems to know a lot about the place. Niko ends up doing work for [[Vladimir Glebov|Vlad]], as a way for Roman to pay off his debt. Vlad calls Niko a ''peasant'', and treats him like one. He also has a lot of suspicious calls to Mallorie. Eventually, Roman begins to expect that Mallorie is cheating with Vlad. When he finds out that Niko already had his suspicions, he is angry, and questions Niko's loyalty. Niko proves his loyalty by killing Vlad, right in front of Roman. After killing Vlad, Niko tells Roman the second of the two reasons that he is in Liberty City. In the war, his unit, of fifteen people was ambushed. It was a setup, for [[money]]. Someone from the unit gave them up. 12 died, three survived. Niko knows that he is not the betrayer; he has spent the past ten years looking for the other two. [[Bernie Crane|Florian Cravic]], and [[Darko Brevic]]. One of them lives in Liberty City. Niko and Roman need [[money]]. Niko ends up working for two of Roman's friends, Little Jacob, and [[Brucie Kibbutz]]. He develops good [[Friendships in GTA IV|friendships]] with both. Vlad's boss, [[Mikhail Faustin]] is angry that Niko killed Vlad. He has his men kidnap Niko and Roman. Faustin asks Niko if he thinks its okay to kill his employees. Niko replies, "''If he's an a**hole, then yes''". Faustin agrees, kills [[Andrei Utraniyev|the kidnapper of Niko and Roman]], and says that he only kept Vlad around for his sister. Faustin decides that Niko has to work for him, to make it up to him. Faustin is on drugs, and drinks. His best friend, [[Dimitri Rascalov]] can't talk any sense into him. He has Niko kill many people, including [[Lenny Petrovic]], the son of the very powerful Russian gangster, [[Kenny Petrovic]], which leaves Mikhail, Dimitri and Niko in trouble. Dimitri sees this and negotiates with the [[Petrovic Family]] behind Mikhail's back. The Petrovics agree to lay off on one condition: [[Mikhail Faustin|Faustin]] must die; Dimitri cannot run because he says "''no matter where you go, people will find you''" so he is left with no choice. Dimitri tells Niko that he told Petrovic that Niko was a hired gun, so Petrovic agreed he would be spared, if Niko was the one to kill Faustin. Niko kills Faustin, and after a short period of time goes to collect his payment from Dimitri accompanied by Little Jacob (Jacob suspects Dimitri). When Niko arrives at the warehouse appointed for the meet Dimitri reveals he is working with [[Rodislav Bulgarin]], the loan shark that Niko told Roman about earlier. The killing of Faustin was a set up so that Dimitri could take over the [[Faustin Family]] and [[Russian Mafia]]. Dimitri offered Niko to Bulgarin for free. As a show of loyalty, Bulgarin's men appear and open fire on Niko. Dimitri and Bulgarin leave the meet when Little Jacob joins the fight and helps Niko eliminate the men. When they finish off the men, the two escape the warehouse and the [[LCPD|police]] [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|attention]] that's waiting for them outside. Niko goes to pick up Roman and tell him about the situation. Roman says that they should move to [[Mallorie Bardas|Mallorie]]'s [[South Bohan Safehouse|flat]] in [[Bohan]], to escape Dimitri's manhunt. They go to Roman's apartment to collect some stuff, where they find that Dimitri has had the safehouse and Roman's taxi depot burnt down; this greatly upsets Roman, launching him into a fit of rage. Partly because he had worked hard for the depot and the apartment, partly because he had had an engagement ring in the apartment so he could propose to Mallorie. Niko does errands for Mallorie's friends: community leader [[Manny Escuela]], and drug baroness [[Elizabeta Torres]]. Elizabeta introduces Niko to [[Packie McReary]], [[Johnny Klebitz]] and [[Playboy X]]. Manny introduces him to a crooked police officer, [[Francis McReary]]. In Elizabeta's penultimate mission Niko must retrieve some cocaine for Elizabeta, that some friends of Little Jacob's stole, from an old hospital on [[Colony Island]]. After retrieving the cocaine, Niko meets Jacob in a Bohan alleyway where Niko's girlfriend Michelle appears and confiscates the cocaine. Michelle, or [[Karen]] has been working undercover for a shady government agency , (known to the civilian population as [[United Liberty Paper]]), an agency that wants Niko has to work for. Niko has no choice in this, if he refuses, his file, containing all of his crimes, will be handed over to the authorities and he will be prosecuted. But in addition to Niko's retaining his innocence, the agency will help Niko find the traitor who gave Niko and his unit up for money. Niko is reasonably happy with his current situation until Roman is kidnapped by gangsters he owes money to and is offered to Dimitri as bait to draw out Niko. Niko rescues his cousin, then Roman begs Niko to forget about Dimitri. Niko agrees, as long as Roman will not try to talk him out of finding Florian Cravic and Darko Brevic. Roman agrees and goes on to spend a the proceeds of the old taxi depots insurance on a new luxury [[Middle Park East Safehouse|apartment]] in [[Algonquin]] and a fleet of new [[Cavalcade]] taxis. Niko also begins working for [[Francis McReary]], and [[Playboy X]]. Playboy introduces Niko to [[Dwayne Forge]] who Playboy pays Niko to be friends with (as he doesn't want to be seen with his old mentor), and the player eventually has a choice to kill Playboy, or Dwayne. Niko begins to work for Francis McReary when Francis blackmail Niko with evidence on his previous crimes (though this may be a bluff as the government agency Niko previously worked for promises to keep Niko's crimes under wraps). Niko also works for, and builds a good friendship with [[Patrick McReary]] (or 'Packie' as he is more well-known). That also stems out to his brothers, [[Gerald McReary]] and [[Derrick McReary]], as well as a relationship with their sister, [[Kate McReary]]. Eventually, Francis finds out that Derrick is back in town and begins to worry. He knows that Derrick knows Francis is crooked and tells Niko to kill Derrick. Then Derrick calls Niko and asks him to kill Francis, as he fears for his safety. The player gets a choice, kill Francis, or Derrick. Packie introduces Niko to [[Ray Boccino]]. Niko does a lot of errands for Ray, who doesn't pay very well. Eventually Niko threatens to leave if Ray doesn't help find the man that Niko is looking for. Ray agrees to help, he finds a man that knows [[Bernie Crane|Florian]]. Niko threatens the man to lead him back to Florian, when he gets inside it turns out that Florian was not the one who betrayed them. He came to Liberty city and changed his name to [[Bernie Crane]]. As Crane was not the betrayer, the search continues. Niko eventually end up working for Bernie, who Dimitri is blackmailing. Niko also ends up working for [[Phil Bell]], an associate of Ray's, and their boss, [[Jimmy Pegorino]]. Niko does alot of work for the [[Pegorino Family]]. Mostly about building the Pegorino name. Niko gets a call from Mallorie, Roman proposed. He also told her that ''he'' was the one who killed Vlad. Eventually Niko gets a call from the contact of that crooked organisation that Michelle (or "Karen") works for. He has a friend. [[Jon Gravelli]] is the leader of the [[Gambetti Family]]. He can help Niko find Darko, if Niko does some work for him. Niko does alot of work for Gravelli. After a few missions, Niko gets a call. Darko has been brought into Liberty City. Niko and Roman go to the airport. A van drives past and drops Darko out the back, and then it drives off. Niko finds out that Darko set them up for only $1000. Darko is a drug addict who has had a very bad life. He says thank you to Niko for killing him. The player gets a choice. If the player kills Darko, Niko puts 12 bullets into him, one for each friend who died, and then he leaves not feeling any better. If the player spares him, Niko feels better, knowing that living was the best punishment for Darko. :''From this point forward the game goes into ending mode. The missions are played out each started by a phone call. There are two dramatically different endings, which one is played is decided by an upcoming decision. It is recommended to save on a new file so that you can easily go back and see the other ending. For details on the lead up of the choice starting with Darko's death/spare), as well as details of both endings, see [[GTA IV Endings|here]].'' |

Niko Bellic the protagonist of the game.
This page details the main points of the plot of Grand Theft Auto IV. For the entire plot, you must read each mission article separately.
Grand Theft Auto IV, receiving an almost unanimous critical acclaim, has a long, complex but still comprehensible plot or storyline. You may wish to simply look at the Missions in GTA IV article instead if you wish to read about each mission separately.
Broker/Introduction
Niko Bellic, an eastern European criminal, has taken the Platypus ship to exit the country (namely to avoid an old rival) and comes to Liberty City, after hearing many stories of his cousin, Roman Bellic being a rich man with women, cars, mansions and luxury. Sadly, he discovers in the game's first mission that all Roman told him about were lies. Roman lives in a heavily-cramped apartment and runs a small taxi service. After doing a few chores for Roman, he meets Michelle and Mallorie, who become Niko and Roman's girlfriends over time. In the end, Niko ends up dating Michelle (First Date (GTA IV) before or after saving Roman from Bledar Morina, the head of the Albanian Mafia in Broker.
After doing a few more missions for Roman, he meets both Little Jacob and Vladimir Glebov. Both of them hire Niko to do work; Jacob is working as the head of the Jamaican Mafia and needs Niko's help, while Vlad, a Russian loanshark, needs Niko to do debt-collecting jobs to keep Roman from sinking into debt. Little Jacob introduces the first weapon in the game available to Niko (without going for spawn points or using cheats). Eventually, in Vlad's final mission, Niko must make the first choice in the game; shall he kill or spare Ivan?
In the post-mission phone call, Vlad implicates that he is having an affair with Roman's girlfriend, Mallorie. Vlad is killed by Niko for having this affair. After killing him, Niko explains to Roman, one of his reasons to come to Liberty City; that as a child soldier, he was part of a Fifteen Man Squad of young boys in a village, but one of the 15 betrayed the other 14 and sent them to an ambush. Niko comments that he and only two others survived. He reveals that he came to Liberty City for another reason; to find the survivor and ask him why he did it. Either way, Roman is terrified at how is it nearly inevitable that revenge will be had on he and Niko for killing the Russian Mafia's debt collector.
This fear proves correct when Roman and Niko are kidnapped by Mikhail Faustin and Dimitri Rascalov; the leaders of the Russian Mafia in Broker. During his mission string for Faustin, Niko is introduced to Brucie Kibbutz and the Internet in GTA IV. Also, Niko is hired to do work for Brucie. Dimitri Rascalov, on a mission for Faustin, introduces the gun shops that sell the Weapons in GTA IV to Niko. However, the cut-scenes for Faustin's mission show that he is an absolute hothead; he killed Andrei, a loyal agent of his own mafia who kidnapped Roman and Niko in the same scene that they were kidnapped. Unfortunately, Faustin goes too far when he orders Niko to first assassinate the son of the city's most powerful Russian, and then he goes way too far when he sends Niko on an extremely dangerous mission.
Niko later meets Dimitri Rascalov privately, and he explains to Niko that unless Niko Bellic kills Faustin, Kenny Petrovic will do everything in his plentiful-power to see Niko, Faustin and Rascalov dead. Out of options, Niko must kill Faustin (in a mission that introduces the Executions in the game). However, when Niko meets Dimitri at a warehouse to collect his money, Dimitri betrays Niko when he sells him out to Ray Bulgarin -- the same man Niko came to Liberty City to escape from. Then, Rascalov enrages the Bellics when he burns down both the taxi service and apartment of Roman.
Bohan/Algonquin
After losing their apartment and strapped down on cash, Niko Bellic begins working for -- on reccomendation of Mallorie Bardas -- Manny Escuela and Elizabeta Torres. Niko quickly takes a personal disliking towards Escuela; but working for Torres, he meets Packie McReary (Luck of the Irish) and Playboy X (Blow Your Cover) -- two major characters in the game. After completing Blow Your Cover, Niko is given access to Algonquin. After Manny and Elizabeta's story's culminate in a plot twist that reveals a large secret of Michelle's, Niko begins to work for Playboy X, his friend Dwayne Forge, Francis McReary (whom he met through Manny Escuela and Packie McReary).
Playboy X hires Niko to first take down a union site for Yusuf Amir, then hires him to take down an enemy of his. Dwayne Forge hires Niko to help with problems from his past; Playboy X then proves his absolute callousness when he hires Bellic to murder Forge. However, Forge then orders Bellic to kill Playboy. Once again, who Niko decides to kill is left to the player's decision.
Francis McReary hires Niko to kill people who are snitching on him (Call and Collect, Final Interview, Holland Nights and Lure (GTA IV)); his brother, Packie McReary, goes through several robbery missions including a bank robbery (Harboring a Grudge, Waste Not Want Knots and Three Leaf Clover). Through McReary does Niko meet Ray Boccino and his brothers Derrick McReary and Gerald McReary.
Ray Boccino offers an extensive string of missions that revolve around collecting Diamonds; due to the large amount of people Ray trusted (Johnny Klebitz, Luca Silvestri and Issac Roth for example) to get the operation done, he ended up losing them. Fortunately, before or after Ray's final mission, he is able to find Florian Cravic, one of the two possible people who betrayed Niko as a child soldier. Florian convinces Niko that he was not the one who betrayed the Fifteen Man Squad and that is was truly Darko Brevic.
After completing a certain amount of missions in Algonquin, Roman will disappear and Mallorie will later inform you that he is kidnapped. Although Niko is able to save him, this only skyrocket's his hatred for Dimitri Rascalov.
After Michelle's secret came out, Niko was coerced into working for the United Liberty Paper; who would later help him out with Brevic. After doing work for Gerald McReary (Actions Speak Louder than Words and I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle) and Derrick McReary (Smackdown (GTA IV), Babysitting and Tunnel of Death) Niko is left to choose who to kill; Francis or Derrick McReary.
Alderney
After this all, Gerald McReary -- after being imprisoned -- concots a plan to get the Diamonds back; they will first kidnap a mob boss's daughter, safekeep her when she is discovered, then exchange her for the diamonds. Sadly, Niko and Packie's deal goes horribly wrong when Ray Bulgarin ambushes it.
Florian Cravic -- who changed his name to Bernie Crane -- also hires Niko to do work. Through the U.L. Paper Niko meets Jon Gravelli who sends him to do some wetwork.
After completing Ray's missions, Niko will begin to work for both Phil Bell and James Pegorino; in the end, Phil is able to seize a load of Heroin, and Pegorino ends up sending Niko to kill Ray Boccino in Pest Control.
After completing Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, Liquidize the Assets, Buoys Ahoy and Pest Control, the ending of the game commences.
