'How would you like to die?' asks Nico, to his cousin, Roman Bellic.

'Having a threesome on my hundredth birthday. I don't f*!%ing know!' replies Roman, one of the funniest characters introduced in Grand Theft Auto IV.

A compulsive liar, Roman has routinely told big whopping fibs to his cousin, Nico, that he's living the 'American Dream' and has two women, four hot tubs and fifteen sports cars. To Nico's surprise upon arrival in Liberty City, Roman is doing nothing of the sort, instead living in an awful apartment, running an unsuccessful taxi company and has racked up significant gambling debts for good measure.

Roman is played a lot for laughs throughout. He's cowardly, routinely makes fun at his own weight and tries to make light of the terrible situations the cousins find themselves in.

He's also completely obsessed with bowling. Most people will likely remember when playing GTA IV you could hardly go anywhere without Roman obsessively inviting you to strike down some pins. No, Roman, I'm in the middle of a 5 star chase after a murder spree, I can't go bowling!
