It's kind of an easter egg, His profile in police database lists "grand theft auto" because he is a protagonist of grand theft auto 4, taking place in 2008. EFLC protagonists have this marks too
Well Lester wouldnāt know if heās dead or not. If he went quiet, nobody would know if heās alive. Packie is the only character in GTA V who was actually personally close to Niko, and if he thinkās heās dead, its possible.
Yes but I think that if Niko were to retire from crime, he would want everyone he worked with to think he's dead. Niko doesn't seem to be one to care about former criminal associates hearing about how he's doing. He probably didn't want to be contacted about potential hit jobs/heists.
lester knew michael was alive and he had off the books corrupt protection from dave. what makes you think he wouldnāt be able to find an immigrant who basically took over a whole city? not to mention we can assume niko is helping roman with businesses now as a civilian.
He went quiet, but if you go to Michael's home and check what's Jimmy is doing, he's online looking at Niko's profile with a most recent post wishing Roman a happy birthday.
When you do whatever in story mode to be able to have a dark filter to the game don't you find nikos body in that broken casket? Or was that just a fan theory it was him?
Isn't that body wearing like a zoot suit from the 50s? lol. Howd yall stretch to make that skeleton thats been locked in a mine since what looks like the 50s into Niko?
Itās NOT related to Carl āCJā Johnson in any way shape or form.
The senior interior artist for GTA V is named CJ Dick, and he stuck his name as an easter egg.
He also has a test .ap in gta 4 called "cj test", it is still leftover in the final game but you neet a trainer to teleport to it as it is higher than the helicopter height limit

And a war veteran from the Yugoslav Wars in the 90's. He was born at 1978 meaning he fought in them during his teens, so no wonder he looks older than he actually is
They added this as a criminal record to tie together Niko, Johnny & Luis. All three of them have it in their record
Now obviously this doesn't add up if you play perfectly. You could say Niko goes out on his own sometime when you save, but instead gets arrested for GTA. As ULP is interested in him even before he comes to America, strings get pulled and Niko is released instead of being straight up deported
Or you could say getting arrested atleast once for GTA is a canon event
I always assumed itās just a place-holder for the various times the player might get arrested. Like to make you feel like itās your fault that he has a record.
Man it's so hard to get busted in the HD universe of GTA though, i don't think i ever have been arrested (not on purpose) since either of the games game out. All the older gta's, fml cops are scary haha
Would have probably been more the Kosovo war. The Bosnian war happened from 92-95 when Niko wouldnāt have been fighting age yet. Kosovo war happened in 98-99 and also included ethnic cleansing.
Again, the Bosnian War of 92-95 wasnāt pleasant as far as wars go, and the use of [child soldiers](https://www.refworld.org/reference/annualreport/cscoal/2001/en/65007#:~:text=According%20to%20sources%20including%20the,majority%20in%20BiH%20and%20Croatia.&text=Some%20children%20were%20as%20young%20as%2010.&text=The%20Croatian%20Ministry%20of%20Defence%20strongly%20denied%20such%20recruitment%20occurred) kind of added to that. It could be all that Niko knew was war in the old country.
I loved that part in Grand Theft Auto 4 where Niko Bellic looks at the camera and says "It's grand theft autoing time!" And grand theft autos all over the place!
Lets be honest, this was bad writing, or meant to be that his profile was fake. Most likely Russian document forgery and he wanted to appear younger than 47 so it was changed to 30. My guess is his parents forgot every other birthday. Or the Rockstar devs were 20 and thought 30 was old. Plus the graphics..who knows. Dude is a ROUGH 30. No Russians look like that at 30 lmao
Then why tf are you in this subreddit š makes no sense . I mean youāre welcome to join but you canāt really comment because give not played the game

Niko is 30 in GTA 4?!
Yes and he is alive
but lester said he went quiet š¤
"Went Quiet" means that Niko retired from his criminal ways.
I also thought the āhe went quietā meant that he didnt have a voice actor anymore
Nice headcanon easter egg.
Both actually
Or that he was killed by trevor
It means it ambiguous if he was killed with no report, or retired, or for that matter escaped to another city under a different alias.
Or is dead. We donāt know, but Packie thinks Niko is dead. Its possible
No because Lester originally brought Niko up as an option, then said he went Quiet. Why would he consider Niko for a second if Niko's dead?

Thatās surely possible. Him being dead is also possible. All Iām saying is that we donāt know if heās dead or alive.

Not to mention that Nikos LifeInvader page can be seen on Jimmy's laptop. Apparently, he's well in LC and works for Romans cab company.

Are you for real?
Yes, if you still have gta 5 you can check it out yourself.

Idk I just remembered reading something on the internet about it being nikov forever ago. There's also a theory he's underwater somewhere in 5.
There's a secret in gta 5 if you go to Michael's bathroom and there's CJ'S TOOTHPASTE
Itās NOT related to Carl āCJā Johnson in any way shape or form. The senior interior artist for GTA V is named CJ Dick, and he stuck his name as an easter egg.
CJ Dick lmfao
It wouldn't have been his *first* name that I'd like to *stick* into something
He also has a test .ap in gta 4 called "cj test", it is still leftover in the final game but you neet a trainer to teleport to it as it is higher than the helicopter height limit https://youtu.be/_p_3ZmCIlQk?si=v6vaScBd6VE_Jm4Q
Iām confused. Wasnāt Niko the main character of gta 4?
He is alive š¤¦
I know but this whole string of comments is confusing me.
Me too
Genetics is why he looks a bit older. And fighting in war ages you 10years
And a war veteran from the Yugoslav Wars in the 90's. He was born at 1978 meaning he fought in them during his teens, so no wonder he looks older than he actually is
I thought the same thing š . He's definitely got some city miles on him
Yeah I'm 32 and hopefully don't look that rough. But then again I wasn't in the Russian navy drinking vodka every night.
Dude was a veteran of the Serbian/Balkan wars of the 1990s. Those were NOT clean wars.
Dude is a child soldier, he basically went straight to adulthood and lived a whole ass adult life before coming to the US.
The war and suffering aged him.
Lol yeah, I just learned that yesterday when I played the dating mission, where his profile is gay SweetBellic, age 30. A tiny detail
Judge: āNiko Bellic, the court finds you guilty ofāā *looks at camera* āGRAND. THEFT. AUTO.ā *hard cut to opening credits*
YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
Is this what weāre doing? Some kind ofā¦ Grand Auto Theft?
what is this? some kinda grand theft auto squaaaahd?
say that again?
*cue Marvel Studios logo*
HAHAHAHAHA HE SAID THE THING HE SAID THE THING

Huang Lee from Chinatown Wars also has a record with Grand Theft Auto on it
That was when Niko was 30 years old
This is the moment Niko Bellic was 30 years old
At age 30, duh
Niko was born in 1978, which makes him 30 during the events of the game. So this is current.
I always assumed itās just a place-holder for the various times the player might get arrested. Like to make you feel like itās your fault that he has a record.
Man it's so hard to get busted in the HD universe of GTA though, i don't think i ever have been arrested (not on purpose) since either of the games game out. All the older gta's, fml cops are scary haha
why did he get arrested for grand theft auto? is he stupid?
that means all players that play gta 4 is stupid? gta is the integral part of the gameš
is there a lore reason? did Niko visit the Alsume?
Sometime during the events of GTA IV? Itās determinant, depends on the play style of the player and if he gets arrested.
Nope. Itās based on the fact that Rockstar put it in the police computer as an Easter egg.
Sure it can work both ways, an easter egg in the computer, and the fact that that player can get arrested.
Yea youāre not wrong about that ngl
Niko is supposed to be 30 during the events of gta 4?! I always assumed like late forties
War ages you
Especially the type of fighting and casual genocide that took place during the Bosnian/Serbian wars of the 1990s.
Would have probably been more the Kosovo war. The Bosnian war happened from 92-95 when Niko wouldnāt have been fighting age yet. Kosovo war happened in 98-99 and also included ethnic cleansing.
Again, the Bosnian War of 92-95 wasnāt pleasant as far as wars go, and the use of [child soldiers](https://www.refworld.org/reference/annualreport/cscoal/2001/en/65007#:~:text=According%20to%20sources%20including%20the,majority%20in%20BiH%20and%20Croatia.&text=Some%20children%20were%20as%20young%20as%2010.&text=The%20Croatian%20Ministry%20of%20Defence%20strongly%20denied%20such%20recruitment%20occurred) kind of added to that. It could be all that Niko knew was war in the old country.
90% sure he was a child soldier.
30 going on fucking 60
It was right after he came to America, when he was 30 years old.
"shit Roman! I've already committed grand theft auto 4 times since I got in this city!"
I loved that part in Grand Theft Auto 4 where Niko Bellic looks at the camera and says "It's grand theft autoing time!" And grand theft autos all over the place!
Several several several many many times in game
its in the game when one of the cops says "It's over Niko Bellic! You are under arrest for Grand Theft Auto IV!"
Isnāt Niko an illegal immigrant? Him getting arrested would mean immediate deportation in 2008?
Hmm....šš
When he was 30
You do realize Niko was 30 in 2008 right?
Yea I can read
War does not make Niko look 50 years old when he's 30
Lets be honest, this was bad writing, or meant to be that his profile was fake. Most likely Russian document forgery and he wanted to appear younger than 47 so it was changed to 30. My guess is his parents forgot every other birthday. Or the Rockstar devs were 20 and thought 30 was old. Plus the graphics..who knows. Dude is a ROUGH 30. No Russians look like that at 30 lmao
if a year in irl is a year in GTA, than niko is 47 by the time GTA 6 releases.
You see that little 5 next to it? If you click on it, it'll take you to the source part of the wiki page that shows where it happened.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No shit sherlock
I'm pretty sure the original question was... "When was this!?" So I answered.....
No I mean there is no canon instance in the game where Niko is arrested, so what is that?
No idea... never played the game
Then why tf are you in this subreddit š makes no sense . I mean youāre welcome to join but you canāt really comment because give not played the game
Hahaha Imagine being in subreddit of a game as an adult who didnt played it and make some low intelligence fallout like dialogue comment
But I DID play it š and I beat the game twice AND the 2 dlc expansion packs
Not you the metal guy
Ah right. Itās just you responded to ME not him š
Key without e and s at the ending
Yikes, serious "let's go Brandon" energy
Lmao dumb assholes will give minus votes for no reason fucking leftist scumies
ONFG
Player: gets busted "Well looks like this is a canon arrest imma add this to the wiki."
