Psychological Profile: Niko Bellic

This profile has been forwarded to us by a concerned Liberty City Police Officer who has wished to remain anonymous. The Liberty City Police Department have released the Psychological Profile of a “person of interest”. The man in question goes by the name of Niko Bellic. Bellic is a Russian immigrant who has just posted his third video containing footage of his recent crime sprees which illustrates his life of crime on the internet. Immigration has issued a statement reporting that the officer responsible for allowing Niko's entry in to the US is currently under suspension pending an investigation. It has been reported by the media that Niko has continuing criminal links in Russia.

This is the police issued psychological profile in full:

If civilians come across Niko Bellic they are to consider him to be armed and extremely dangerous. He is not to be approached and if he is discovered then the authorities must be contacted immediately.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO APPREHEND NIKO BELLIC.

Niko displays classic psychotic symptoms which can be translated directly in to a need to control the people and environment around him. His criminal actions can be perceived as being manifested by more than just a selfish desire. He has created the notion of direction through a misguided and fictitious concept that he can change and control the world in which he lives. This can be seen as a driven, Machiavellian response to create the American dream for himself and his cousin Roman no matter what the criminal and civil cost. Niko is completely egocentric which ties in with his Machiavellian desires. He will determine in an instant how a given situation will play out and he will attempt to steer that situation towards his own twisted interests and goals.

Niko is remorseless in the way he goes about his criminal activities. He has no love or feelings for people. From this we determine that Niko has suffered some sort of extra-ordinary suffering in his childhood. He may have been physically restricted or restrained in some way for extended periods of time. He could have played out classic psychotic fantasies on small animals. He would have killed animals for pleasure and through the process of doing this been able to develop in to an adult who feels no remorse or guilt for his actions. This can be evidenced through his complete disregard for innocent civilians. They mean nothing to him. In fact, if they were to be caught in the cross fire he would feel no remorse.

Niko is also the character type who attempts to use his influence and associated power in sexual situations. However, with his unnatural childhood and adult psycho-sexual roleplaying it may be that Niko is somewhat of a deviant or to be found compensating for inadequacies. He can be seen as a predator of women because he cannot feel an emotional attachment to them. They are nothing more as objects there to fulfill his physical desires. Obviously Niko's desire to record and show his criminal exploits show narcistic desires of the basest kind. This probably also manifests itself in other physical ways such as through impulsive and continual masturbation. Niko is more than likely a sexual deviant. He probably has problems finding sexual partners and may even experience erection problems when in the company of women.

At times Niko can feel as though he is a puppet. Not in control of his own actions with someone else actually telling him what to do. This feeling can come across at various times and he can feel that different people have input in to his actions. He considers life to be a game which can either be won or lost. Situations can appear to be orchestrated for him. As though someone else has already planned out aspects of his life in order to facilitate the feeling of reality. However, he often feels that life is just a hackneyed narrative. That he is the hero of some sort of crime saga that goes on around him. These notions give him a “god complex” common to people who may be suffering from some type of mental disorder or breakdown. This can make him extremely unpredictable in any given situation.

Known associates of Niko are Roman (his cousin) and the Police Officer Francis McReary.

Obviously, for the above reasons, Niko would not make a very good babysitter. It would be best not to lend Niko a vehicle of any kind as there is no guarantee of the condition in which it will be returned.
