The Characters
Rockstar has said that most of the characters seen in past Grand Theft Auto's will not be returning. On the otherhand, Houser was asked if there would be any returning characters and he gave an intriguing smile... Perplexed are we?
Niko Bellic
An Eastern European immigrant in his mid-thirties, who has come to Liberty City to pursue the "American Dream". He is a tough character and is in his mid thirties. He is said to be very experienced at handling weaponry.
Roman
Roman is a friendly buffoon. He is heavily in a debt and everyone is after him, so he turns to his cousin for help. He runs a taxi depot in Broker, and it is a floundering business. It seems like Roman's laundry list of problems doesn't have an end in sight.
Elizabeta
Female that will be introduced halfway through the game. Not much is known on her so far.
Little Jacob
He is a Jamaican arms dealer. Seems as if he is your contact for weapons early in the game and you can call him with your cell phone. When you go to his car trunk, you scroll through the weapons like you did at the Ammu-Nations in previous GTA's. He lives in Rotterdam in the Dukes borough of Liberty City.
Francis McReary
This bastard is a corrupt cop. He knows of a felony Niko has committed, and uses it as blackmail against him.
Lola
If you couldn't already tell, Lola is a postitute. She works the Docks! Not much is known about her at this moment.
