   Keys: 3rd Street Saints, Saint, the Saints, Saints

   Before there were any gangs in Stilwater, Julius Little grew up in Sunnyvale Gardens with his best friend Benjamin King. When the Carnales took over Stilwater and brought gang warfare to Sunnyvale Gardens, King called all the people of Sunnyvale together to form a rival street gang called the Vice Kings to fight back. Julius didn't like how Vice Kings worked and so he dropped his flags. He thought King could keep order in the city but his grip slipped: Los Carnales regrouped and the Westside Rollerz were formed, leading to even more conflict.

   After Saint's Row becomes a battlefield for the three gangs, Julius gathers all the people he can find to the Church, and they begin recruiting, eventually saving Playa and getting them to join.

   While the Vice Kings had become just another crime gang, Julius naively believed he could learn from that failure and keep the Saints under control. As they waged war, eventually succeeding, Julius quickly realized that the Playa was too ambitious, and didn’t care about the damage they caused. Making Playa his right-hand man in the Saints, the Saints turn to them for orders when the gang is made to assassinate the mayor. Soon, the gang is betrayed, and destroyed, Saints Row coming under control of other gangs, and everything falling into disrepair thanks to the betrayal of several members.

   When Playa wakes from their coma after the explosion five years later, and escapes prison, they set out with Carlos to rebuild the Saints, and succeed in doing so, recruiting members such as Shaundi and Pierce, and freeing Johnny Gat from prison once more. Upon Maero, the leader of the Brotherhood, making an unfair deal with them, Playa scars him, and war is raged between all the gangs once more, with Carlos being a casualty. The Saints become a force to be feared, destroying everything in Playa's pursuit for revenge and power, just as Julius feared; After the Saints retake Stilwater, Ultor attacks the Saints, and the Saints turn their attention to the company, waging war.

   Dane Vogel, who is in control of Ultor, is ordered by the Board of Directors to get rid of the Saints or risk losing his job. Instead, he tries to have the board killed, and is later killed by the Saints as well, leading to the 3rd Street Saints seizing considerable power in the world as they merge with Ultor to form the "Saints-Ultor Media Group".

   The Saints, having defeated all the rival gangs of Stilwater and remove the influence of the Ultor Corporation by merging with it, have with free rein of the city, turning their gang into a brand name and selling merchandise like clothing and soft drinks, even in talks of making movies, though still try to do some legitimate gang activity on the side. They target a bank, attempting to airlift the vault out of it, but the plan goes wrong, and the Saints are arrested and incarcerated.

   Phillipe Loren is behind it, the leader of the Syndicate, and gives the Saints a bad deal, demanding their profits and power. The Saints refuse, and soon, they are being attacked by the Syndicate, their banks drained and large amounts of their power removed, leaving the Syndicate in complete control of Stilwater; Now scorned, the Saints, led by Playa, who they now call Boss, decide to seize control of Steelport, and destroy the Syndicate.

2. #2Juliusselective

   Keys: Julius, Julius Little

   Julius is the founder, and original leader of the 3rd Street Saints. He is an aged African American man who grew up in Sunnyvale Gardens with his friend, Benjamin King.

   They witnessed the neighborhoods' demise when Los Carnales came to Stilwater. Benjamin King started recruiting people to stand up against the Carnales and save Sunnyvale Gardens, creating the Vice Kings. After some time in the Vice Kings, Julius saw that this gang also started to become a threat to Stilwater's peace and dropped his flags. He then moved to Saint's Row.

   After the birth of the Westside Rollerz and resurgence of Los Carnales, Saint's Row became a battleground for the three gangs and the district fell apart. Julius had thought that the Vice Kings could at least keep order in the city but when violence hit the Row, he began recruiting members for another gang with the main purpose of ridding Stilwater of all other gangs: the 3rd Street Saints.

   He believed that he could learn from King's mistakes and that the Saints would be something that wouldn't get out of control; he later admitted that this was naive.

   Julius and Troy save Playa from being killed by a member of the Vice Kings and he recruits them. The Saints take control of Saint's Row and then go on to destroy the three other gangs in Stilwater. Julius reunites with his old friend Benjamin King in the process, who is betrayed by the Vice Kings.

   When Stilwater comes into the Saints' control, Julius names Playa his right hand-man. However, Julius is quickly arrested by Troy, who was an undercover cop, and Police Chief Monroe forces the Saints to kill Marshall Winslow for him, or else he will kill Julius. Playa kills Marshall Winslow, but Monroe orders the Saints to do even more. Eventually, the Saints kill Monroe.

   Troy calls Julius, telling him that he does not want to arrest his friends. He asks Julius to convince Johnny Gat and Playa to drop their flags. Julius, knowing that Playa wouldn't stop, plants a bomb on Alderman Hughes' private yacht, with hopes that the bomb will kill Playa, albeit, disbanding the Saints.

   In the time between the ending of Saints Row and beginning of Saints Row 2, Julius reforms and drops his flags after being let off the hook by Troy. He becomes a tour guide for the refurbished Saints Row Church, providing his voice for the tannoys, in which he talks about his life in the 3rd Street Saints and his reasons for forming the gang. After five years of being in a coma, Playa wakes up and finds some wiretap conversations at the Police Headquarters. These reveal that it was Julius who had planted the bomb on the yacht. In addition to that, he also finds Dex's number in Troy's office, the latter of whom had become the chief of police. Playa calls Dex, who tells him to meet him at the church, claiming to know Julius' whereabouts.

   Infuriated upon learning of Julius' betrayal, Playa goes to the church. However, he doesn't find Dex there, but Julius instead. Julius had been lured there by Dex too, and the two discover that it was a set up right before the Masako throw a smoke bomb into the church. After Julius and Playa successfully defend the church, the two flee to the Thalia Amiptheatre. After defending themselves from the Masako there too, the Masako fall back. Julius, who started to get comfortable being around Playa, thinking it was "just like old times", is abruptly shot by them.

   The two heatedly argue, with Julius explaining why he attempted to kill Playa, mentioning the fact that the Saints were becoming too violent and that Playa wouldn't stand down if told to drop their flags, and by the end, Julius is quickly killed with a shot to the head by Playa.

   Keys: Dex

   Dex is a member of the 3rd Street Saints. He is a young African American man. Dex is appointed by Julius to take down Los Carnales and to also watch over Johnny Gat who offered to do the Vice Kings.

   Dex appears to be the voice of reason amongst the other lieutenants and is a superb tactician and would rather plan than just going in guns blazing, which he tries to talk a trigger happy Johnny Gat out of doing. In the final mission for the Carnales, Dex and Playa take down Angelo Lopez, finally finishing the Carnales gang.

   After Playa goes into a coma, Dex begins to work as the Head of Security for Ultor and is a successful millionaire, leaving behind his life as a gang member. When contacted by Playa, he betrays both Playa and Julius after luring them into an ambush.

4. #4Linselective

   Keys: Lin

   Lin is a lieutenant in the 3rd Street Saints and the self-proclaimed "best racer to ever come out of Chinatown". A 25-year-old female of Asian descent, she has a somewhat cold personality, at one point showing little compassion towards killing two Westside Rollerz she had just been conversing with, and at another throwing a man's lighter across the room after he offers to light her cigarette.

   Julius asks Lin to go undercover with the Westside Rollerz in an attempt to learn more about them and take them down from the inside – much of the information she learns within the Rollerz she relays to Playa, and together they use it to foil the Rollerz' plans.

   Unsatisfied with her role and in an attempt to infiltrate the Rollerz further, Lin pursues a relationship with Donnie, a mechanic and best friend of gang leader Joseph Price. She continues to deceive the Rollerz by working with Playa, and these ill-fated attempts ultimately lead to her death when Price's uncle and financier, William Sharp, concludes that she has been betraying the Rollerz and has her killed.

5. #5Johnny Gatselective

   Keys: Johnny, Johnny Gat, Gat

   Johnny Gat is one of the more prominent members of the 3rd Street Saints since Playa joined the gang back in Stilwater in Saints Row. This fearsome fighter with a lack of wits makes up for it with his love for fighting. Johnny Gat is a man of Asian descent, sporting a slick black haircut and brown eyes. He wears a pair of glasses with square lenses. Gat wears a two-tone grey and purple jacket with a fleur-de-lis in the left stomach area, alongside a white shirt that is partially unbuttoned on top. His glasses are white with opaque blue lenses, and he wears silver bracelets on his left wrist and silver rings on his fingers in addition to his original golden necklaces. He wears dark blue denim jeans and purple sneakers.

   Johnny Gat is an inhabitant of the Saint's Row District of Stilwater. Realizing that the district was being torn apart by gang wars, he joined the 3rd Street Saints, a gang aiming to end these wars. Gat is assigned to plot the downfall of the Vice Kings, one of the warring gangs in Stilwater.

   Gat's 'head on' strategies typically involve massive amounts of bloodshed and extensive property damage. After introducing Playa to Gat's girlfriend Aisha, the three plot out a way to strike at the Vice Kings. They load up a car full of C4 then take it to the gang's recording studio, where the explosion levels it to the ground. Despite all this, Gat admitted to having an admiration for Benjamin King, the Vice King's leader. Despite having been almost crippled after being shot in the leg by Anthony Green, Johnny manages to move on with Playa when they successfully destroy the Vice Kings. During the Battlefield Promotion cutscene Johnny gives Aisha a bouquet of flowers, reconciling their relationship which had become strained during the takedown of the Vice Kings.

   Following the destruction of all three gangs and the assassination of Marshall Winslow, Johnny Gat takes part in an assassination attempt against Chief Monroe of the Stilwater Police Department, which results in the police chief's death.

   When Playa falls into a coma, Gat attempts to kill Troy Bradshaw for betraying the Saints. This attempt fails however, resulting in his incarceration for 2 years and 31 days. He was sentenced to execution for 387 counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. Upon waking from their coma, Playa bursts into his appeal proceedings, kills the guards, and rescues Gat. Gat takes his place as Playa's second-in-command as they resurrect the Saints, locating a new Saints Hideout before canonizing new members into the gang.

   Once the Saints' are resurrected, Gat helps to take down the Ronin, one of several new gangs that took over during their absence. He takes part in the initial raid on Poseidon's palace before kidnapping a Ronin who trespasses on the Saints turf; he takes his prisoner to Aisha's house where he is summarily interrogated then executed. This proves to be a fatal mistake as Ronin lieutenant Jyunichi witnessed Johnny dispose of the body.

   After Gat leaves the house, Jyunichi takes a crew of Ronin to break in and capture Aisha. When Gat returns with Playa, the former notices something is amiss when he sees that the door ajar. The Ronin prepare an ambush, but their plan is thwarted when Aisha shouts a warning. Jyunichi retaliates by decapitating Aisha, enraging Gat; he is provoked into a sword fight with Jyunichi whilst Playa kills the other Ronin in a large shootout. After disposing of all the Ronin Gat prepares to shoot Jyunichi. Before pulling the trigger he is inadvertently distracted by Playa - Jyunichi uses this momentary lapse in concentration to run Gat through with his sword, impaling him to the hilt. An ambulance is called but won't arrive in time, so Playa takes matters into their own hands, driving him to hospital with the help of another Saint.

   Gat spends time recuperating, however this time is cut short when the Ronin infiltrate the hospital in an attempt to finish him off for good. Playa is visiting at the time and is able to get him away safely.[15] After making a full recovery, Gat and Playa hold a funeral for Aisha, however the service is interrupted when the Ronin leader Shogo Akuji attempts to kill them as revenge for humiliating him and decimating his gang. After surviving the assault Gat, blaming Shogo for ordering Aisha's death, brutally beats him before burying him alive. He and Playa return to the Saints Hideout to defend an incoming Ronin invasion, before creating a diversion at the Chinese Heritage Festival, holding back the Ronin to allow Playa enough time to kill Kazuo Akuji.

   Once the gangs have been obliterated the Saints, along with Gat, move on to take down the corrupt company of Ultor in defense and retaliation against the new Masako strike team threat. During an assassination attempt against Dane Vogel, Gat uses a McManus 2010 sniper rifle to take out the surrounding guards to allow Playa to focus on Vogel's assassination. This plan fails as Gat is spotted by a security guard. Vogel uses this opportunity to escape into his office atop the enormous Ultor tower; Gat stays below at the entrance, buying Playa time. After Vogel is killed Johnny Gat does what he says he loves to do: shooting at oncoming waves of cops.

   After the Saints merge with Ultor, Gat becomes a major celebrity within the gang. Adored by the public, he has mascot suits of himself, and claims that 'everybody wants to be Johnny Gat'. Even while robbing a bank, he is adored.

   Later, Shaundi, Playa, Josh Birk and Gat attempt to rob a bank as a publicity stunt. They encounter heavy resistance from unknown men and women dressed in red which prompts the gang to question who owns the bank. During the assault Birk sets off the silent alarm before fleeing the area, alerting the authorities who send SWAT teams to storm the bank. The Saints are eventually arrested after a large-scale shootout. When Playa is brought to Shaundi and Gat's cell, the latter expresses disappointment over what the Saints have become, lamenting that there's much more to the Saints name than "body spray and ass-tasting energy drinks".

   Two high-ranking members of an organization called The Syndicate, Viola and Kiki, take the Saints aboard a plane owned by the Syndicate to meet with Phillipe Loren. After a heated discussion, Gat breaks free and proceeds to bash Loren's head into a plane window, causing explosive decompression; he promises to hold back the gang members and commandeer the plane, allowing Playa and Shaundi to make their escape. Before Playa and Shaundi jump out of the plane they speak to Gat via the intercom. His last words to them are "Right on, I'll see you in Stil-", before he's cut off by the sound of automatic gunfire. Thankfully, Gat is alive, and is recovered later, joining the fight against the Syndicate.

6. #6Aishaselective

   Keys: Aisha

   Aisha is Stilwater's "local girl done good", becoming a media sensation. She had experienced a meteoric rise that had taken her from the slums of Saint's Row to a promising career in the R&B, hip hop and soul music industries. Aisha released 2 CDs; Avarice, which was her debut album, and The Other Six which spawned three hit singles: "Bounce Like My Checks", "Leave The Ho" and "Don't Fuck Me Like I'm Your Wife". Aisha is an attractive, young African American woman.

   Aisha is signed with Kingdom Come Records; a company that served as the public front for the Vice Kings. To her horror, she learned that the glamorous life isn't all that cracked up as it was supposed to be, as she related tales of extortion and manipulation to her sometime boyfriend, Johnny Gat, in the hope that he can somehow help her get out of the music business.

   Johnny comes up with a plan to fake Aisha's death, including destroying the Kingdom Come Records building with a car bomb. Aisha has a younger sister that Playa rescued from a Vice King human trafficking plot.

   After her "death", Benjamin King tells Warren Williams to throw together a memorial box set, claiming that fans will "eat that shit up". This box set is named Lazarus Girl and contains both albums, a CD of unreleased studio tracks, a DVD and an Aisha T-shirt.

   Five years later, Aisha is a more mature woman. She rarely ever leaves her house anymore, as she is still hiding from public after faking her death. She lives with Gat, who prides himself on being her protector.

   As the 3rd Street Saints are locked in a gang war with The Ronin, Aisha's life is once again put in danger when Gat brings a spying Ronin member into her house for questioning, though he quickly kills him when he provides no information. Ronin lieutenant Jyunichi sees Gat and Aisha getting rid of the corpse.

   Jyunichi later holds Aisha hostage at her house and interrogates her about the Ronin's stolen casino money. Unbeknown to Jyunichi, Gat and Playa are headed to the house during this. When both are coming in, Jyunichi tells her to be silent and she wouldn't be harmed.

   When he draws his katana out, she sacrifices herself by yelling to Gat of the Ronin's presence, although Gat already suspected something is amiss. Jyunichi decapitates her with his sword. Gat loses the fight and is critically wounded. Playa and another gang member take Gat to the hospital while fighting off hordes of Ronin. During the car chase, Johnny mumbles about Aisha, claiming he has to save her and protect her.

   After this, Gat blames himself for her death, but eventually accepts her fate after getting some closure by burying Shogo alive for disrupting Aisha's funeral.

The two form a relationship, but Donnie is unable to come to terms with Lin's betrayal when Sharp reveals that she has been working for the 3rd Street Saints. After Donnie leaves, Lin is killed by Sharp.

   After the destruction of the Rollerz, Donnie becomes a mechanic for a rival gang; this time for The Brotherhood. Still grieving over his girlfriend Lin's death, Donnie is forced at gunpoint to do some "pro bono work" against the gang. He runs to the Brotherhood leader Maero to confess his actions after Playa releases him, and Maero considers killing Donnie for his cowardice; Donnie survives because Maero's best friend Matt and girlfriend Jessica intervene. Later, after a brief scuffle with Playa, he reveals where Carlos has been taken. Shaundi suggests doing the same thing to gain information on a mysterious shipment the Brotherhood is waiting for, but Playa decides against trying it, saying that the Brotherhood might already have killed him for it and certainly won't trust him with any new information. When The Brotherhood's headquarters are besieged by the 3rd Street Saints, Donnie helps an injured Maero escape, and is never seen again.

The plan is soon met with critical response from the people of Stilwater with many worried about displacing the Row's inhabitants along with its homeless population. Knowing that his plan still won't be enough to win him the election, Hughes turns his sights to the gang activity in Stilwater. Based on what he sees, he decides to cheat his way into office by resorting to more extreme methods, such as bribing Chief Monroe to his cause.

   After the Saints came out on top on the gang wars, Hughes has Monroe arrest Saints leader Julius Little, leaving Playa in charge of the Saints. While the election seems to be in Winslow's favor, Richard has Monroe strong arm Playa into killing Winslow, as a result Hughes is handed the election.

13. #13Sunnyvale Gardensselective

    Keys: Sunnyvale Gardens, Sunnyvale

    Sunnyvale Gardens is a neighborhood in the Projects District of Stilwater. Much like Shivington, it is mainly filled with high rise buildings and apartment complexes.

    Historical street gang history covers this area. Before the events of Saints Row, Los Carnales were pushing west and the residents didn't like this. When Los Carnales finally took over the Gardens, a number of residents, led by Benjamin King, formed the Vice Kings and waged war against Los Carnales, eventually driving them out of the neighborhood. But when full-scale gang war erupted between the Vice Kings and Los Carnales, Sunnyvale was soon affected and became Vice King territory.

    During the gang war between the Vice Kings and the 3rd Street Saints, Sunnyvale Gardens falls to the Saints after Playa attacks a Vice King stronghold there and wipes out the crew that was supposed to meet Warren Williams.

14. #14Los Carnalesselective

    Keys: Los Carnales

    Los Carnales were the first organised gang of Stilwater, founded by Alejandro Lopez, who is the father of Hector and Angelo. With Colombian cartel backing, Los Carnales spread throughout Stilwater in a matter of months.

    Their dominance was ended when Benjamin King grew tired of the violence in Sunnyvale Gardens and organised the local youths into a new gang, the Vice Kings, which drove Los Carnales out of "the Gardens" in a matter of days. After months of warfare, Los Carnales were greatly reduced in power and the Vice Kings had become the new force in Stilwater. However, once Benjamin King began focusing on building legitimate power, the Carnales expanded once again; by the time Playa joins the 3rd Street Saints, Los Carnales once again have a significant presence in the city, dominating most of the Southern Island. Their deep running connections with Colombians drug czars, keeping them supplied with drugs and all the weapons needed for fighting wars, and the Lopez Brothers' psychotic reputation made the Saints leery of attacking them directly.

    They are made up primarily of Hispanics and Caucasians operating in the city of Stilwater longer than any other gang. The Carnales are headed by Hector Lopez. His younger brother Angelo is second in command while Victor Rodriguez is their enforcer, a man of imposing physical strength and endurance. Luz is Angelo's girlfriend, though there is a suggestion of an affair between her and the gang's liaison with the Colombians, Manuel Orejuela creating a tense situation between him and Angelo.

    The Carnales have a stronghold in territory of the 3rd Street Saints, an abandoned liquor store located in Athos Bay. After the Saints' takeover of that stronghold, the gang is one of four that engage in a violent turf battle for control of the Saints Row area, culminating in a victory by the Saints.

    The Carnales are eventually destroyed by the Saints.

    Sharp's nephew, Joseph Price also lives in his uncle's mansion, in a secondary bedroom on the upper floor, at the opposite end of the hall from Sharp's master bedroom. Sharp usually leaves the dirty work to Price, though he is not afraid to get involved personally when needed.

    Said to be the best mechanic in the city, Donnie also serves the Westside Rollerz, and is very much respected by the entire gang. Donnie is Price's best friend, who trusted Donnie with his life.

    The Rollerz are eventually destroyed by the Saints.

16. #16Vice Kingsselective

    Keys: Vice Kings

    The Vice Kings trace their roots back to the 1970s, when Benjamin King organised the youths of Sunnyvale Gardens against Los Carnales. At the time, the Carnales were an unstoppable force who owned the entire city and ran rampant in Sunnyvale, killing and demanding protection money.

    Benjamin King and his bangers, including a younger Julius Little, were the only ones to step up and fight back against the Carnales. Through fierce gun play, the Vice Kings were able to force Los Carnales out of Sunnyvale in a few days; after that, they spread out to take the rest of Stilwater. Soon after, retaliation shootings engulfed the projects district in everyday war and while the Vice Kings won, the city had been torn apart and the gang had just become another like Los Carnales. Julius Little dropped his flags in disgust.

    Years later, King began to focus on making legitimate power and wealth; Los Carnales began to expand again and the Westside Rollerz formed, turning the Kings into just one gang among three. While some of King's lieutenants were disgruntled, the ties to city hall and the police chief meant that the Stilwater Police left the Vice Kings alone. While much of their power comes from minor arms dealing, gambling and prostitution, the crown jewel of the Vice Kings is the famous Kingdom Come Records company founded by Benjamin King.

    Julius Little had stayed out of the game as he hoped the Kings could at least keep order in the city. When this failed, he created the 3rd Street Saints, believing he could learn from the Vice King's failure. Benjamin King is eventually betrayed by Warren and Tanya Winters, and allies with the Saints to get revenge; Afterwards, he disbands the Vice Kings.

    Keys: Tanya, Tanya Winters

    Tanya is a Vice Kings lieutenant, her primary responsibility is managing the Raykins Hotel, a Vice King brothel, located in Prawn Court.

    The spark that ignites the conflict between the Vice Kings and the Saints is Tanya's unwitting abduction of Aisha's sister to serve in her brothel. The back-and-forth war of retaliation eventually concludes with the fall of the Vice King's empire. Tanya is ambitious, calculating, and depends on her feminine charms to keep both of her lovers (Tony Green and Warren Williams) in the dark about her true intentions for the Vice King's organization. She convinces Williams to seize control of the Vice Kings away from Benjamin King following the death of Green, and then subsequently betrays Williams by shooting him in the head.

    Tanya is briefly successful in consolidating her power, but the Vice Kings' failure to eliminate Benjamin King and the fact that some members of the Vice Kings do not take well to Tanya's rise to power within the gang returns to haunt her when King, Johnny Gat, and Playa storm King's penthouse where Tanya now presides over her new empire Tanya is shot through a window in King's penthouse, although she manages to hold onto the ledge.

In the 1970s, childhood friends Benjamin King and Julius Little formed the Vice Kings to fight back against Los Carnales, who had swept through their neighborhood of Sunnyvale, demanding protection fees, pushing drugs, and bringing gang warfare to the streets. King organized the kids in Sunnyvale to stand up for themselves, and "fueled by their desire to take back their neighborhood, the Vice Kings surged". Sunnyvale was liberated from the Carnales in a matter of days but King, who had grown accustomed to power, continued to battle the Carnales for control over the rest of Stilwater. Julius, unhappy with his friend's decision, decided to retire to Saint's Row.

    In the following years, King increased his gang's influence and income, and decided to focus on "legitimate business ventures" instead of his criminal empire. This allowed the Carnales to regain their strength and a new gang, the Westside Rollerz, soon formed. The three gangs fought against each other, but once the violence spilled into Saint's Row, Julius was forced to follow King's footsteps, and thus started the 3rd Street Saints in an attempt to quell all the other gangs in the city.

    Eventually, the Vice Kings' demesne encompasses most of northern Stilwater. Under King, the Vice Kings control prostitution and gambling rings, hold numerous protection rackets, and have turned their attention to more legitimate business ventures, such as the music industry's Kingdom Come Records. King has become a "public darling" through his philanthropy and, in order to solidify his grip on the city, he works alongside the corrupt mayoral candidate Alderman Richard Hughes and Police Chief Monroe, forming a steady relationship with the Stilwater Police Department.

    Described as both "a professional [and] a bad ass", Benjamin King exercises patience and commands the respect of his crew. After his enforcer Anthony Green is killed, however, King is soon betrayed by his two remaining lieutenants, Tanya Winters and Warren Williams, who stage a coup. King escapes and forms a temporary alliance with his old friend Julius; with the help of the 3rd Street Saints, he finishes off what remains of the Vice Kings.

    With his influence on the city concluded, King obliges Julius and leaves the city.He writes a novel based on these events, Regicide: The Rise and Fall of the Vice Kings.

    Keys: Saint's Row

    Saint's Row is located on the east side of Stilwater and is made up of three neighborhoods: Mission Beach, Harrowgate and Athos Bay. It is the district where the Saints Row Church is located, and it is the first district taken over by the 3rd Street Saints.

20. #20Kingdom Come Recordsselective

    Keys: Kingdom Come Records

    Kingdom Come Records is located in Union Square and is the record label for Aisha. It was started and owned by Benjamin King, but company came to an end once the 3rd Street Saints blew up the building in an attempt to cripple the Vice Kings.

    After the complex was leveled, Benjamin King ordered the place to be rebuilt from the ground up. The reconstruction stopped only after power shifted within the VK's to Tanya Winters. She cared very little for the musical empire King had built and put a halt to its rebirth.

21. #21Saints Row Churchselective

    Keys: Saints Church, Church, Saints Row Church

    The Church is a religious building constructed not long after the construction of Stilwater itself, it eventually became derelict. When Julius Little and many Vice Kings broke off from Benjamin King's gang, it became the hideout for the newly formed 3rd Street Saints and stayed that way even when they came out on top and claimed control of the Stilwater gangland with help from Playa.

    When Ultor redeveloped the Saint's Row district into a “corporate utopia”, they moved and rebuilt the church, restoring it to its former glory. They renamed it the Stilwater Memorial Church as a memorial, and it is now a tourist attraction, complete with audio tour, by tour guide Julius Little. Playa reunited with Julius after coming out of their coma, having been set up by Dex, an ex-Saints member, and the two fought their way through a Masako ambush, before Playa killed Julius with a bullet to the head.

22. #22Stilwaterselective

    Keys: Stilwater

    Stilwater is a city located in the state of Michigan in the United States of America. It is located in a lake, on a two large main islands (one formerly a peninsula) which are separated down the middle by a strait known as the "Stilwater River", crossed by multiple bridges.

    Home to several gangs in the past, Stilwater is a busy city where violence is common. Stilwater has experienced 25-30 years worth of transformation in just "five years". This is said to be, in part, due to efforts by the Ultor Corporation to "fix its problems". Stilwater is now revealed to be an island city, rather than the end of a peninsula, and some areas have been radically changed. This depiction of Stilwater has a Trailer park, an island prison, a Marina District, an amphitheatre, a University, a Cemetery, a Nuclear Power Plant, and an underground shopping complex. The city also seems to have had a major population boost.

    As of current, it is under the Syndicate's control.

23. #23Ultorselective

    Keys: Ultor

    Ultor's trademark logo is a stylised side-view of a continuous mining machine blade, colored orange, which is present at numerous locations around Stilwater. Ultor Unlimited is a major clothing company and lifestyle brand, they also own the naming rights to the Ultor Dome.

    Over the course of five years, when Playa was in their coma, Ultor diversified into other industries and become the most influential corporation in Stilwater. In addition to clothing, their business interests include real estate development, power utilities, cell phones, pharmaceuticals, packaged food, casinos, weapons manufacturing at The Pyramid and radio stations.

    Much of this growth is spearheaded by Dane Vogel, a highly ambitious and ruthless young executive who works as Ultor's Director of Special Projects. Of particular interest to Vogel is the redevelopment of Saint's Row District; Ultor spends $383,781,187 to change the impoverished sector into a modern city, sprawling with glass towers and luxurious hotels. The Saints Row Church is turned from the 3rd Street Saints hideout into the "Stilwater Memorial Church", an upscale tourist attraction which serves as a symbol against all gangs and corruption in Stilwater. In the same district, Ultor constructs the Phillips Building to serve as its new headquarters.

    After surviving assassination attempts by Ultor’s private army: the Masako, the Saints wage war on Ultor and destroy their prized top-secret laboratory The Pyramid. When Ultor's board of directors threaten to fire Vogel, he successfully manipulates the Saints into killing the entire board during a corporate yacht party, after which Vogel becomes Ultor's Chairman The Saints hijack a military attack helicopter to assault and infiltrate the Phillips Building, and Vogel is killed by Playa. Ultor then merges with the Saints, funding their rise to fame and populatiry.

    After Vogel's death, Ultor appoint Eric Gryphon as their new CEO.[25]

    A highly addictive drug. A very rich pot is used in Loa Dust, in addition, acetone and trichlorothane, as well as other chemicals are added.

25. #25Veteran Childselective

    Keys: Veteran Child

    Veteran Child is a Sons of Samedi lieutenant, a DJ for the nightclub On Track and a "triple-platinum" DJ for 89.0 Generation X. He's a gangly white man with dreadlocks, and the main Samedi drug dealer and keeps Stilwater University supplied. Despite working with him for several years, he has a mutually hateful relationship with Mr. Sunshine, whom he is deeply afraid of. He isn't as ruthless as The General or Sunshine, and is shocked when The General orders him to cut off someone's hand because they might be stealing from their profits.

    He isn't a student but admits he visits Stilwater University "for pussy". He once had a relationship with Shaundi. Veteran Child is initially unaware of the Saints taking out his drug dealers at the university. The General orders him to find out what happened and if a bagboy was skimming, to cut their hand off.

    When Playa wipes out the Samedi farm, The General and Mr. Sunshine confront Veteran Child and he admits having told Shaundi about it. The General tells him to kill Shaundi, or Mr. Sunshine will burn him alive. Veteran Child heads up to the Saints headquarters, and takes Shaundi hostage before escaping. He lures Playa to Cocks to be ambushed by the Samedi, but Playa manages to escape and confronts Veteran Child at On Track, where Veteran Child uses Shaundi as a human shield. Playa uses flash bangs to daze Veteran Child, then kills him.

    After his death, the Ultor Corporation buy 89.0 Generation X and rename it 89.0 Ultor FM.

26. #26The Generalselective

    Keys: The General

    The General is the leader of the Sons of Samedi. He is a commanding, aged African American man.

    The General is a cool-tempered and polite gangster, who often refers to his men "gentlemen" or "sir". He always dresses in a white suit which displays the trim of his flags, and frequently smokes fancy cigars. Despite his professional appearance, The General is a ruthless warlord known to control his gang through fear and intimidation. He expects utter loyalty from his minions, and often resorts to mutilation as a form of punishment for anyone displaying insubordination or failure within the ranks.

    After conquering the Caribbean drug underworld, The General and his minions moved their sinister operations to Stilwater to fill the drug void left in the wake of the destruction of Los Carnales. While Playa lay in a coma at the Stilwater Penitentiary, the Sons of Samedi gained dominance in the central districts of the city and began pushing out a designer drug called Loa Dust onto the streets. This so-called "Loa Dust Market" soon became the Samedi's primary source of income, and is so prosperous in Stilwater society that it outsells all other narcotics including "Colombian" cocaine, effectively establishing a drug monopoly in the city.[Reference needed]

    When the 3rd Street Saints are resurrected by Playa, they set out to steal the "Loa Dust Market" from the Sons of Samedi in an effort to destroy the gang and take its drug profits for themselves. In their first strike against the gang, Playa massacres a number of Samedi drug dealers working under Veteran Child at the Stilwater University, including Mark Gabby. At the time, The General has no idea who is responsible for the massacres, but since the event leads to a slight decline in Loa Dust profits for the day, he politely orders Veteran Child to investigate the matter.

    After Playa razes The General's drug farm thanks to Shaundi's inside information, he orders Veteran Child to kill her, or risk having Mr. Sunshine burn him alive. Veteran Child fails and is killed by Playa following a gun fight at the On Track Nightclub.

    After the Saints destroy most of his drug labs in Shivington, further ruining his profits, The General and Mr. Sunshine decide to confront and execute Playa by snatching him off the streets. Once inside The General's limo, Playa succumbs to the effects of Loa Dust present in the air, but still manages to kill two of The General's guards, let off two shots at Mr. Sunshine, and escape using the corpse of one of the guards to break his fall as he tumbles out onto the streets at high speed. After this, The General orders a massive assault on the Saints Hideout, but Playa, Pierce, and Shaundi manage to fight off all the encroaching Samedi despite Playa being insanely high at the time.

    After destroying or hijacking several more shipments of Loa Dust, The General cuts off one of Mr. Sunshine's ears and The General expresses the fact that he knows Mr. Sunshine can make things right and kill Playa. Mr. Sunshine ultimately dies, leaving The General now with no lieutenants. After this victory, the 3rd Street Saints prepare an ambush for The General in front of the Rounds Square Shopping Center after tracking the location of his Hounfor. The General and his escort come under attack after the Saints slam a bus into the side of his limo, and flip it a full 360 degrees before slaughtering all his bodyguards. The General escapes into the underground shopping mall in a mad rush, but Playa pursues him with Shaundi. The General finally confronts Playa with the rest of his men in his turret-mounted Bulldog, but after a long chase, Playa destroys the car, killing him in the process. Playa then celebrates the long-awaited demise of the Sons of Samedi by smoking one of The General's cigars.

27. #27Mr. Sunshineselective

    Keys: Mr. Sunshine

    Mr. Sunshine is The General's right-hand man and the Sons of Samedi's second in command. He is incredibly devoted to The General, who calls him "friend", but he and Veteran Child hate each other. He is a violent man when prompted, hacking his machete into an innocent bystander's back inside Scratch That to clear the place out and shooting an addict who wants to buy the drugs from the 3rd Street Saints. He finds the burning of Shivington "beautiful." He often carries a machete as his weapon of choice and a sceptre made from a wooden shaft topped with a skull on top and ending in a spike. College students fear him and believe he has other powers beyond his machete.

    He possesses some kind of Voodoo power while holding a voodoo doll, as is able to become immortal and send Playa flying without even touching them while manipulating the doll.

    He has a hideout at a meat packing plant in The Mills, located in the Factories District. He is killed there by Playa.

    Sunshine helps intimidate Veteran Child into admitting that he had given information to Shaundi. After the loss of Shivington to the Saints, Mr. Sunshine takes a more direct role and arranges for Playa to be abducted. Unfortunately for him, Playa escapes but not before, concussed and stoned, refusing to be intimidated by Sunshine.

    After further failures, The General cuts his left ear off as punishment. Mr. Sunshine accepts this and assures his boss that he"only need one ear to hear the whispers of the Loa." He enlists multiple addicts to attack the Drug Factory, swearing they can keep all the drugs for themselves. Playa goes gunning for him in revenge, attacking him at his hideout in the meat packing plant. In a display of supernatural power, Sunshine survives and continues to fight after being shot multiple times in the chest. Annoyed, Playa empties an entire magazine into him and finally beheads him with his own machete, before chucking his decapitated head onto a conveyor belt.

    Afterwards, people around Stilwater (including Shaundi) wonder if he is really dead or might come back.

28. #28The Brotherhoodselective

    Keys: The Brotherhood

    The Brotherhood are Stilwater natives long victimized by gang warfare and police corruption. Instead of money laundering and blackmail, The Brotherhood simply drive up to a store in a large truck and take what they want. If anyone gets in their way, they kill them. The Brotherhood is led by Maero, a tall and muscular tattooed Māori man. Their gang color is red, and their symbol is a red wolf. The gang is formed from the outcasts and dredge of Stilwater's slums. The gang is primarily composed of Hispanics, and Caucasians, and is implied to be mostly pacific islanders. They wear piercings and tattoos. They drive Swindles, Legions, Alaskans and Compensators and listen to The Krunch 106.66. Maero's lieutenants are his girlfriend Jessica, Matt, his tattoo artist, best friend, and also a lead singer for a popular heavy metal band called the Feed Dogs, and Donnie, former Westside Rollerz member, who also serves as Maero's personal mechanic for his Atlasbreaker. The Brotherhood operate in areas previously owned by Los Carnales: the industrial area of the city and the airport, with the Brotherhood hideout being in a large warehouse on the docks. The Brotherhood are specialized in weapons dealing, modified car racquets, and protection rackets.

    The Brotherhood flash their allegiance with numerous piercings and tattoos, bright colors, and gas-guzzling trucks. A majority of their gang clothing comes from either; Branded for trousers, usually canvas pants; Sloppy Seconds for their upper torso, torn t-shirts or black tank tops, Leather and Lace for boots and over shirts, usually leather vests, and Nobody Loves Me for their tribal belts and piercings. The gang members are usually sloppy and prefer heavy hits in their attacks and strong weaponry over accuracy, intimidation being their most valuable asset.

    The Brotherhood are better armed than other gangs, as they are weapons dealers with a shipment of weapons which came from an unknown location. They use GDHC .50 pistols; Sledgehammers; 12 Gauges; SKR-9 Threats; K6 Krukovs; Pipe Bombs; Molotov Cocktails; Hand Grenades and in some missions - RPGs. They do protection rackets (as they extort several shop owners), they also do prostitution and drug dealing. In a melee brawl, they capitalise Sledgehammers and wrestling in to their fighting style picking to end them soon rather than later. Their activities are funded by Jessica and other girls like her.

    They are eventually destroyed by the Saints.

29. #29Sons of Samediselective

    Keys: Sons of Samedi

    The Sons of Samedi are a drug cartel who had already cornered the Caribbean Drug Underworld and branched out to Stilwater after the fall of Los Carnales' drug rule. Influenced by Vodou and a history of military corruption in Haiti, the Sons of Samedi have developed a potent combination of spiritualism and fearlessness. The gang is primarily made out of Stilwater University dropouts and defected members of Haitian guerilla groups. Gang members are attracted to the gang out of respect for their methods: a desire for easy income from their drug trade, or through coercion.[Reference needed] Their primary source of income is a designer drug called "Loa Dust", which is the drug of choice for many college students attending the local Stilwater University. The Colombian cartel that backed the Carnales proved unable to compete with the Sons of Samedi, especially now with the latter’s monopoly on the drug market in Stilwater through the widespread distribution of Loa Dust, and ended up losing most of their base.

    The Samedi own a large drug farm in Pleasant View and multiple labs for producing Loa Dust scattered mainly throughout the west side of the city. The Samedi also smuggle drugs using helicopters or by hiding the powder in fish that are shipped to the Stilwater docks. The Samedi often deal drugs and recruit members at the Stilwater University.

    The Sons of Samedi come into conflict with the 3rd Street Saints when Playa declares it is time to challenge their control over Stilwater's lucrative, fluid, and extremely profitable drug market. They are very ruthless and violent, using mutilation and murder as a punishment for failure and betrayal.

    Members proudly display green when in the streets, openly proving and showing their membership, willing to risk getting killed in order to represent the flag they love. Although they focus more on dealing and trafficking than everyday block warfare, the Sons of Samedi are still extremely formidable in war. Never shy to launch massive scale preemptive attacks or retaliate, when it comes to gangbanging the Sons of Samedi are true get downers. In melee fights, they use a capoeira-like combat style and a Machete.

    They are eventually destroyed by the Saints.

30. #30The Roninselective

    Keys: The Ronin

    Their gang colors are glossy yellow and matte yellow, and their rackets control the gambling and prostitution that is active in Stilwater. They fill the power void in control of sin crimes created by the destruction of the Vice Kings by the 3rd Street Saints.

    Shogo Akuji left Japan to spread The Ronin to America, one of the newest gangs to establish itself in Stilwater with their ruthless violence. Recruiting from both the city's Asian and Caucasian population, the gang grew in numbers, attracted by the flashy bikes and custom leathers. Their crimes involve peddling vice through gambling, prostitution, street-racing, and protection rackets, and their power even reaches into the boardroom of corporations like Ultor. American faction leader Shogo, as Johnny Gat puts it, "spends more time on his hair than his bike". This gives the impression that he does more gang claiming than gangbanging.

    The Ronin have traits from Japanese Bōsōzoku biker gangs, with deeply held traditions and respectable honor above all else. They are very turf oriented, believing in flying their flags in enemy neighborhoods despite the risk. Patrolling territory on yellow bikes and in flag colors, The Ronin disrespect enemies caught in their area and quickly attack when provoked. Even though members actively and oftentimes take part in gang shootings and killings, members also stick true to their name. Every member carries a Samurai Sword on the back of their yellow or black jackets, a few members of The Ronin make references to training at the dojo, suggesting the gang has its own training facilities.

    They wear a yellow and black leather jacket, yellow shirt, belt, white or yellow pants and a samurai sword attached to the back of their jackets.

    The Ronin are a primarily Asian-American gang whose colour is yellow and whose symbol is a ​dragon​. Their leader is Shogo Akuji, and his second-in-command is Jyunichi. Their international leader is Kazuo Akuji, Shogo's father. They reside in the suburban area of Stilwater, and specialize in illegal gambling activities and pimping. They drive Kenshins, Tetsuos, Hayate Z70s and Wakazashis, similar to the Westside Rollerz in Saints Row.

    The Ronin do not initially care about the revival of the infamous 3rd Street Saints until they show their passion to regain the city of Stilwater and eliminate every gang who comes in their way. When truly challenged, The Ronin have no problem with bringing the drama to rival turf, initially planning on entering the Saints' turf. The plan is soiled by the leader of the 3rd Street Saints. One of the lieutenants, Jyunichi, takes the fight into personal matters and attempted to kill both the Saints' leader and Johnny Gat. The plan ends with the near fatal injury of Gat and the death of his long time girlfriend Aisha. The Saints' leader takes the life of Jyunichi after receiving an anonymous tip from Shogo. With the death of one the most important members of the gang, Shogo further loses his father's respect.

    They own part of the Poseidon's Palace in the Hotels & Marina District, which is robbed by the Saints, and own an underground casino in the Marshall Winslow Recreation Center, which is destroyed by Playa. They also take part in protection rackets, as Ultor paid The Ronin to protect them. But as events unfold and Shogo proves to be a pathetic leader, Kazuo Akuji comes to America. While there, he speaks on behalf of The Ronin to negotiate the protection contract that Shogo had agreed to. Akuji proved his calculated business skills and loyalty to the gang, when he declined Ultor's offer for not providing a larger offering at the negotiating table. The Ronin are skilled sword fighters, using katana and a karate-combat style in melee fighting.

    They are eventually destroyed by the Saints.

31. #31Carlosselective

    Keys: Carlos, Carlos Mendoza

    Carlos is an inmate at the Stilwater Penitentiary. He is a Mexican man with brown skin and an accent. He had a brother who was a member of the Saints and who told him about Playa, who had been blown up, put into a coma, and remained in the Penitentiary Hospital Ward for five years.

    After hearing that Playa has awoken, he gets himself stabbed on purpose and taken into the infirmary. After an exchange of words, he convinces Playa to escape with him. They break out of the infirmary after killing the doctor and the guards who stood in their way, and then escape the prison island on a boat.

    After their escape, Playa chooses to recruit Carlos as a lieutenant. Carlos willingly accepts this, but asks a favor: he wants Playa to steal a Reaper hearse off a guy called Ramon who owes him money.

    After stealing the car, Carlos is assigned to deal with the Brotherhood led by Maero. Carlos isn't as skilled at retrieving information as Shaundi or Pierce, but Playa, who has taken a liking to Carlos, assures him that they "will make him a banger, even if it kills me."

    After poisoning Maero's tattoo ink with radioactive waste, Carlos is kidnapped by the Brotherhood on the orders of Jessica, chained to a truck's trailer hitch, and dragged through the docks. Playa kills the Brotherhood members driving the truck dragging Carlos, but couldn't arrive in time, as Carlos was badly injured being dragged at high speed. Seeing as there is no way to release him from the chain, Carlos nods at Playa to put him out of his misery, and they do so by shooting him in the head.

32. #32Saints Hideoutselective

    Keys: Saints Hideout

    The Saints Hideout was a hotel before an earthquake dropped part of the city below sea level. This area of Old Stilwater remains accessible through the basement of an old Mission House in Bavogian Plaza.

    Playa and Johnny Gat clear the place of Sons of Samedi and homeless, claiming it the headquarters for the revived 3rd Street Saints. The hotel is incrementally repaired during the game and eventually the decrepit hotel is transformed into a nightclub called Purgatory, complete with an office, stripper poles, bar, minibar, a personal bedroom for Playa and an elevator, which saves time getting to and from the surface.

    It is taken over by the Syndicate, along with all of Stilwater.

33. #33Pierceselective

    Keys: Pierce Washington, Pierce

    Pierce joins the Saints after seeing Playa kill some Ronin members. Playa assigns him specifically to collect as much information as he can on the Ronin.

    Afterwards, Pierce tells Playa and Gat about the Poseidon's Palace, in which the Ronin have stakes. They ignore his elaborate heist plan, much to his dismay and he's annoyed to find the news call him an "unknown accomplice". Pierce, Johnny, and Playa agree that the money they robbed needs to be cleaned, so Playa and Pierce go to purchase weapons and cars to sell to a fence.

    Pierce ends up getting his hands on the passenger manifest from the Wardill Airport, and on that list is Shogo Akuji's father, Kazuo Akuji, who is coming to Stilwater after catching on about the heist at Poseidon's Palace. Pierce and Playa head to the airport, only to find out Kazuo was gone. After failing to catch Kazuo at the airport, Pierce and Playa head to a bar, then, at said bar, Playa gets an anonymous call telling him that Jyunichi, the Ronin lieutenant that killed Aisha and hospitalized Gat, was at a teahouse. Playa leaves the bar to eliminate Jyunichi.

    After meeting Mr. Wong, who was looking for Playa, Pierce drives him to the Saints Hideout, not knowing he was being followed. He, along with Gat, Mr. Wong, his Translator, Playa, and the other Saints, fend off the Ronin's attack.

    After the death of Carlos, Pierce helps Playa against The Brotherhood and later against the Sons of Samedi, after helping Playa and Shaundi repulse a Samedi assault on the Saints' hideout. He's annoyed to find his role in intelligence gathering and tactical work is being taken over by Shaundi, who turns out to be better at getting contacts : one time complaining they're "waiting for one of the 600 guys Shaundi used to fuck to give us a call" (at which point a call comes in). Playa doesn't really care about his problems. One time, he's left angry to find Shaundi has taken credit for intelligence he told Shaundi about.

    Pierce personally assists Playa in wiping out the Samedi's drug helicopters and shaking down the Feed Dogs. He again works with Playa and Shaundi together when a horde of junkies attack them for Loa Dust, this time having a pissing contest with Shaundi about who was doing more work.

    When the Saints merge with Ultor, Pierce takes kindly to fame. He has become somewhat of a celebrity, doing commercials for "Saints Flow" energy drinks and is also mentioned by Jane Valderamma during radio news breaks. He's much more well dressed to represent his new found fame. As well, he is attempting to launch a music career at the point when the events of this game kick off.

34. #34Shaundiselective

    Keys: Shaundi

    Shaundi is a mixed race white and African American, young adult female with dark brunette hair and hazel/brown eyes. While Shaundi has been known to do drugs, she maintains surprisingly good health, and is athletic. Following their rise to fame, Shaundi completely changes her appearance and dresses much more professionally in response to the Saints becoming famous icons to the public and her new dating show. Shaundi now has brunette hair that's put into a ponytail that branches off into multiple flocks, while a side fringe of hair waves freely in front of her face. Shaundi's new outfit consists of a purple crop top that's a lighter shade of purple and has the ST initials in game and exposes her midriff region, a black leather jacket with short sleeves that also exposes her midriff region, skin-tight purple pants that look to be made of Latex or Lycra and lowers slightly in the front, and a pair of black belt-buckled high-heeled boots. Her makeup and accessories consist of a pair of silver earrings, a plain black choker necklace, purple painted finger nails, and a silver chain belt. Shaundi has gotten rid of her old lower back tattoo, but she still has her Nautical Star tattoo on her left hand, which she keeps throughout the entire series.

    While once an avid drug user with a nonchalant, sarcastic, and mellow attitude who was averse to violence, Shaundi has matured emotionally and in terms of combat skill compared to the drugged-out, apathetic, hedonistic "hippie" archetype she was originally attributed. Shaundi has become much more sensible, and takes her tasks very seriously. Shaundi expresses her feelings very strongly, and has no problem with demeaning other people, regardless if they're friends or not. She suffers from immense survivor's guilt.

    Shaundi grew up with older siblings and parents that were busy with work. Christmas was her favorite time of year as it was the one time when the whole family got together. As she got older, her siblings moved away and her parents divorced. She still believed in Santa, later saying "I needed Santa" and that she'd never had a good Christmas after her family left, as she was either stoned or "with awful boyfriends who never really cared".

    Shaundi was once a student at Stilwater University, during which she visited Steelport while on spring break. She had relations with countless men, including Steelport's famous pimp Zimos, and frequently mentions "one of my exes" as her source of information. She also served a brief stint in prison, where she met Laura and Johnny Gat.

    She was a big fan of Keith David and had a crush on him; she was also a fan of the film They Live, which she mistook for a realistic film.

    In the future, she'd regret a number of her boyfriends and say that they never really cared about her. She'd particularly regret Veteran Child, who threw a limited edition Feed Dogs vinyl on the fire once. They dated when he was already a high-ranking Sons of Samedi member.

    Shaundi becomes a member of the Saints after Playa impresses her with some Stunt Jumps. She is later made a lieutenant and put in charge of gathering information on the Sons of Samedi, a job she is initially reluctant to undertake.

    She quickly begins undermining the Sons of Samedi's drug operations by learning the recipe for replicating Loa Dust, with the assistance of Playa and Laura, and telling the gang the location of the Samedi's main drug farm. The Sons of Samedi, angry at the attack on their business, send DJ Veteran Child (who told her about the farm when they were dating) to deal with the problem. Veteran Child finds Shaundi alone in the Saints Hideout, and, after knocking her out, kidnaps her and takes her to On Track, a dance club. Once Playa arrives, Veteran Child tries to use the hostage lieutenant as a shield, but Playa finds a way to take him out and helps Shaundi out of the club, leaving the DJ's corpse on the dance floor.

    As Veteran Child had bested her, Playa doubted Shaundi's ability to hold her own. It isn't until she announces her plan to bug the city's traffic cameras that Playa allows her to come along, due to the fact that Playa has no idea how to hack into the police computer.

    Once the Saints track The General down, Shaundi and Playa attack him at the Rounds Square Shopping Center, fighting their way through dozens of The General's gang members before finally taking out the Sons of Samedi leader.

    She also assists against the Brotherhood, much to the annoyance of Pierce, as she keeps getting the tactician role ahead of him. One time, she gives Playa intelligence that Pierce told her about.

    Five years after the Saints conquered Stilwater, the former hippie has become more focused, both on the Saints and her celebrity status. In line with the expansion of the Saints' brand, she now has moved from drug trafficking to having her own TV dating show and a new look that is distinctly more professional than her previous bohemian style.[Reference needed] She attributes her new focus and sobriety to her new reality show, "I Wanna Sleep with Shaundi"; she simply didn't have the time to smoke up anymore.

    Her main obsession after arriving in Steelport is destroying The Syndicate

    Maero is a large, physically imposing man with dark skin and long red hair cut into a stylized mullet. He is heavily implied to be Maōri. He has several piercings, including an eyebrow ring and a chin stud, and wears a gold tribal bracelet on his left wrist, brown slacks with a fanged belt buckle and gold belt chain and red leather boots. For the first two missions, he wears a red short-sleeved, button-down shirt with tribal designs on its sleeves. For the rest of the game, he is shirtless.

    Maero has several intricate tribal tattoos all over his body. This became the largest part of his appearance, even more than his tribal clothing. He also has a large, red, multicolored wolf tattoo on his chest and a stylized cross at his sternum, flanked by two letter B's mirroring each other, which represented his affiliation with his gang. He also has tattoos on his arms and many other places which are not available at Rusty's Needle, such as the cheeks and neck.

    The leader of the Brotherhood, Maero knows a lot about Playa and the Saints. When he hears that the 3rd Street Saints are back, Maero asks to meet their leader in the Stilwater Caverns to form a secret pact, but their meeting is interrupted by the Stilwater Police Department. Together, they escape and head to The Brotherhood HQ in the southern docks. There, Maero proposes an alliance between the Saints and The Brotherhood, but offers them only twenty percent of all profits. Angered by this, Playa refuses his proposition.

    Playa harasses Donnie by forcing the timid mechanic to sabotage some of The Brotherhood's trucks, and later steals some radioactive waste from the Nuclear Power Plant. After acquiring the toxic material, he delivers it to the Rusty's Needle near the Brotherhood hideout. Matt unknowingly uses it to tattoo Maero's face, which results in a severe and painful burn as well screaming.

    Angered by this, Jessica orders for Carlos to be killed, as he is the Saint assigned to take down The Brotherhood. Determined to avenge Carlos' death, Playa kidnaps Jessica while she is at the Stilwater Savings & Loan bank, and locks her in the trunk of her Phoenix, before driving it to Maero's Demolition Derby. As Maero is crushing cars in his Atlasbreaker, he hits a ramp and lands directly on top Jessica's car, killing her. Before taking his leave, Playa tosses Maero the keys, and tells him that he should have made the Saints a better offer when they first met.

    Enraged by Jessica's murder and the subsequent events that followed; such as the crippling of Matt after Playa crashed one of his Feed Dogs concerts, Maero decides he needs all the help he can get. So he breaks into the office of Dane Vogel, and demands that the CEO use Ultor's connections to free all The Brotherhood members who are in the Stilwater Penitentiary. When Vogel refuses, Maero dangles him by his neck out of his office window, and threatens to drop him if he does not change his mind. Vogel unwillingly agrees to Maero's terms, and orders the Chief of Police, Troy Bradshaw, to schedule a massive prison release, but Playa finds out about it, and kills all of the prisoners before they are released.

    Maero confronts Vogel a second time, but the Ultor CEO is no longer willing to help because he sees nothing to gain from doing The Brotherhood any more favors. As the Masako escort Maero out of the Phillips Building at gunpoint, Vogel smugly hints that Ultor is taking possession of the Brotherhood's upcoming arms shipment, arriving by freighter.

    After Playa raids the freighter and steals The Brotherhood's shipment, he decides that the time has finally come for the Saints to get rid of Maero. A fierce battle soon breaks out at The Brotherhood HQ, and Maero is eventually forced to confront Playa. But he does so on the roof armed with a Mini-Gun and some Satchel Charges. After an intense shootout, Maero runs out of ammo, and resorts to attacking Playa with his bare hands. In their struggle, the two gang leaders fall through the roof of The Brotherhood HQ, and into Maero's "office", where Donnie and Matt are hiding. Donnie flees as Playa gains the upper hand against Maero, nearly killing him with one of Matt's tattoo needles, but Matt intervenes by tackling Playa to the floor while Maero flees. As a result, Matt ends up sacrificing his own life to allow Maero to escape.

    Maero later calls Playa, and challenges him one last face-off in the Ultor Dome. Playa decides to come alone, unlike Maero, who has planned an ambush with his Atlasbreaker and the remnants of The Brotherhood. Playa manages to successfully kill all of The Brotherhood before destroying Maero's Monster Truck. Maero survives the explosion, but is badly injured and unable to continue fighting. His last words are "Go to hell!", before Playa shoots him in the head.

    Keys: Jessica Parish, Jessica

    Jessica is Maero's girlfriend. The two met at a Feed Dogs concert. She is a Stilwater University sorority girl that came from a rich family but gave up her comfortable and wealthy life to be with Maero. She has great involvement in the gang, and is the only person who is able to calm Maero down when no one else can. She thinks much more than Maero, and tries to convince him to destroy the 3rd Street Saints before they become a dangerous threat to The Brotherhood. She is friendly at first, but her evil streak is quickly shown after Maero's face is burned by radioactive waste the Saints put in his tattoo ink.

    In an act of revenge, she kidnaps Carlos and orders Brotherhood members to chain him to a truck and drag him through the docks. She calls Playa to tell them of her act of revenge.

    Jessica funds Brotherhood's activities. When she goes to the Stilwater Savings & Loan bank with a suitcase full of Brotherhood money, Shaundi spots her and notifies Playa, who kidnaps her and puts her in the trunk of her Phoenix. To avenge Carlos, Playa goes to the demolition derby in the University Stadium, then places Jessica's car at the end of the line of cars to be destroyed. As Maero runs over the car rows in his monster truck, crushing them, he hits a ramp, and lands directly on Jessica's car, killing her.

38. #38Viola DeWynterselective

    Keys: Viola DeWynter, Viola

    Viola is the twin sister of Kiki DeWynter, they are the lieutenants of the Morningstar gang led by Phillipe Loren. Viola is well endowed and is very pretty, having a buxom figure, wearing tight, black, form fitting clothing to accentuate her curves, much like her twin sister.

    Viola's model in a mirror image of Kiki: her hair is mirrored, and her Syndicate star chain is on her left hip, while Kiki's is on her right hip.

    Viola and her sister run finances for the Syndicate[Reference needed], having increased the Syndicate profits tenfold in Steelport[Reference needed].

    The DeWynters are also Philippe's personal assistants, managing his personal life and day-to-day business affairs, and are the heiresses to the leadership of the Syndicate and Morningstar.

    Viola and her sister are sent by Phillipe Loren to bail Playa, Shaundi and Johnny Gat out of jail and bring them to him.

    Viola is a professional, cruel woman with a cold-heart, though she is fiercely loyal to her sister, and willing to do anything for her. Sarcastic, intelligent, and organized, Viola is a force to be reckoned with.

    Kiki is the twin sister of Viola DeWynter, they are the lieutenants of the Morningstar gang led by Phillipe Loren.

    Kiki's model is a mirror image of Viola: her hair is mirrored, and her Syndicate star chain is on her right hip, while Viola's is on her left hip.

    The DeWynter sisters also become acquainted with Zimos, the oldest pimp in Steelport. Not much comes of the friendship (except for a painting which the sisters had made for him, and that he slept with one of them) and all that has been revealed of their encounter is that Zimos ends up in a gimp suit and locked in the basement of one of Morningstar's human trafficking hubs.

    Kiki is more outspoken and smug compared to her sister, but they two are very similar. Confident, intelligent, organized, and cold-hearted.

40. #40Phillipe Lorenselective

    Keys: Loren, Phillipe Loren, Phillipe

    Phillipe is the leader of both The Syndicate and the Morningstar division. He is a tall man of average weight with white hair, and has a habit of chain smoking cigarettes. Wherever he goes, he is frequently accompanied by his two lieutenants and protégées, Viola and Kiki DeWynter. Phillipe has expensive tastes in clothing, wearing a fancy, red and black suit complete with a red scarf around his neck. He has a great deal of money behind him and owns a private Gawalek A36 as well as one or two skyscrapers in the city of Steelport.

    Phillipe Loren is of Belgian origin. The Syndicate began in Europe and featured people of many different nationalities, with few ties to any specific country.[Reference needed] It expanded to the United States at a later time. While he had a much longer partnership with Kiki DeWynter and Viola DeWynter, having taken them under his wing as proteges, Killbane and Matt Miller were recruited only after they had already built influential gangs of their own.

    At the start of the game, Phillipe Loren has Playa, Johnny Gat, and Shaundi bailed out of jail following a failed, botched bank robbery at the Stilwater 1st National Bank. The Saints are restrained and brought aboard Phillipe's private Gawalek A36, bound for Steelport, where he offers to let them live if they agree to the terms he presents them. After Gat and Playa blankly refuse, a firefight breaks out, during which Gat smashes Phillipe's face into a window, ultimately causing permanent damage to his left eye.

    It turns out that Playa has made a powerful enemy in Phillipe, who's far more powerful than those they faced in Stilwater. He's a successful international arms dealer and essentially the leader of the criminal underworld in Steelport.

    Shortly after the Saints' arrival in Steelport, Phillipe has to wear an eyepatch to cover his injured eye, and he calls upon the other leading members of The Syndicate: Killbane of the Luchadores and Matt Miller of the Deckers, in destroying their new enemy. Matt is tasked with bankrupting the Saints by hacking into their accounts, and stealing all their money. Killbane is tasked with gathering up his forces, and bringing Phillipe the head of Playa.

41. #41The Syndicateselective

    Keys: The Syndicate, Syndicate

    The Syndicate is a large criminal organization led by Phillipe Loren. It is comprised of three gangs: the Morningstar, led by Loren himself; the Luchadores, led by Eddie "Killbane" Pryor, and the Deckers, led by Matt Miller. The organization is run less like a street gang, but more like a large corporation. The Syndicate do both legal and illegal operations all over the world, using Steelport as their base city and where they have most of their businesses and muscle located. Their insignia is a pink star.

42. #42The Luchadoresselective

The Luchadores operate the majority of their operations from the 3 Count Casino in Port Pryor, and have a skyscraper Downtown on the eastern side of Loren Square.

    Like the Morningstar and the Deckers, they are part of The Syndicate. The Luchadores are the only gang in the Syndicate which doesn't have female members.

    The first encounter between the Luchadores and 3rd Street Saints is during the grand opening of a suspension bridge in Stilwater. Here they not only make quick work of the Saints, but also themselves, firing rockets from the rooftops of nearby buildings and leaving the bridge in pieces.

    The Luchadores only employ male, masked wrestlers into their gang. Luchadores have a mix of Latino and American accents. All members dress in wrestling suits sporting heavy combat gear and boots, and they all wear green, red, and pink wrestling masks.

43. #43Deckersselective

    Keys: Deckers

    The Deckers are a group of computer geniuses led by Matt Miller. They deal mainly in money laundering and cybercrimes across Steelport, their gang color is neon blue and their insignia is a blue skull with star eyes. Like the Morningstar and the Luchadores, they are part of The Syndicate. The gang is mostly made up of English characters wielding sub-machine guns and swords (known as a Nocturne) on their backs.

    Their headquarters is the Burns Hill Reactors, located in the Burns Hill neighborhood of the district of Stanfield. In addition, they also have their own skyscraper Downtown, located in the western part of Loren Square.

    With the exception of their specialists, the Deckers mainly employ males into their gang, all of whom are quite young (mid to late teens or twenties), and English in origin. All members dress in very much the same way, sporting dark clothing with neon-blue highlights. The Decker makeup and clothing is of a Gothic, "Cyber-Punk" style. Wherever they go, members always carry on their backs large swords called Nocturnes.

44. #44Morningstarselective

    Keys: Morningstar

    The Morningstar is the oldest surviving gang in Steelport, and as such, commands considerable respect among criminals. Their main business is arms dealing (legitimate and non-legitimate), but they are also involved in human trafficking and prostitution. Their gang colors are red and pink and their insignia is a red star. Like the Luchadores and the Deckers, the Morningstar are a part of The Syndicate, but are the founding member of the group, who call all the shots. Anyone who dares to cross their path also crosses paths with the rest of the Syndicate, and had better be prepared to face the consequences.

    Morningstar is a European gang with exquisite tastes. As such most of their members dress in expensive clothes, and drive fancy, high-class vehicles. Under the leadership of billionaire, Belgian, arms dealer Phillipe Loren, Morningstar maintains both legal and illegal operations around the world. For instance, they operate a high-end gun boutique in town called Powder, which sells weapons to people who have the cash. Simultaneously, the gang also outfits illegal organizations, governments, and militias with weapons as well.

    In addition to Phillipe, Morningstar is also supervised by Viola and Kiki DeWynter, extremely close twin sisters and art dealers who are Phillipe's protégées and run the gang's prostitution ring. The DeWynters' end of the sex trade operates out of a brothel / BDSM club called Safeword, located in the Rosen Oaks district.

    Their headquarters is the tallest building in Steelport, the Syndicate Tower, located in the northeast corner of Henry Steel Mills. Inside the confines of the tower, the Morningstar operate a secret cloning facility, in the hopes of creating an unstoppable, master army of brutes from their prisoner, the giant Oleg Kirrlov. In addition to the Syndicate Tower, the Morningstar also own another massive skyscraper Downtown at the southern end of Loren Square, situated between its respective Decker and Luchadore counterparts.

    The Morningstar employs a mix of males and females in their gang. While most members in the gang are of European origin, evidenced by the accents in their voices, there are also some Jamaican (Zoey) and Japanese (Clara) women in their ranks. The male members of the gang are clad in black suits with red undershirts along with loose neckties, black or pink sunglasses, as well as shirt buttons with the Syndicate star on it. The female members wear a black coat along with red high-heeled boots.

45. #45Killbaneselective

    Keys: Eddie Pryor, Eddie, Killbane

    Eddie "Killbane" Pryor is the leader of the Luchadores, and along with Matt Miller, Viola and Kiki DeWynter, and Phillipe Loren, a member of The Syndicate. He is also a professional masked wrestler and one of the main antagonists in the game alongside Cyrus Temple. Killbane is a tall, muscular man who wears a Lucha libre mask with matching green clothes, whether his wrestling tights or a custom-made business suit. He never removes the mask, as per Lucha libre tradition, but the player can choose to humiliate Killbane by unmasking him in Murderbrawl XXXI. Lead writer of Saints Row: The Third, Steve Jaros, explained, "[Killbane's] always embracing that luchadore spirit and never wants to let it go".

    Killbane is an extremely egotistic, violent and short-tempered man. He considers it highly disrespectful when people call him "Eddie" rather than "Killbane", as per Lucha libre tradition, which is one of the main reasons he abruptly and hastily kills Kiki DeWynter, along with her threatening to leave the gang. Immediately after, he patronizes a distraught Viola DeWynter by offering her tickets to Murderbrawl XXXI.

    Early in his career, Killbane beat an opponent to death during a match and subsequently fled to Mexico, where he befriended fellow Lucha libre Angel De LaMuerte. As tag-team partners, they were known as "The Pale Riders" and won four consecutive championships, 1996–1998. They were also in business together as restaurant and casino owners, after Killbane returned to the United States and Angel accompanied him. Killbane was approached by Phillipe Loren while he was still Angel's partner. As years went by, Killbane tried to overshadow Angel by taking the nickname "The Walking Apocalypse" for himself and dubbing Angel "The Herald of the Walking Apocalypse". Their friendship ended around 1999-2000 when Killbane challenged Angel to a match, Killbane won and removed Angel's mask. Angel left wrestling entirely out of shame, and reclusively trained in an abandoned casino once owned by the duo.

    At the beginning of Saints Row: The Third, Killbane is still the leader of the Luchadores, and upon arrival of the 3rd Street Saints in Steelport, is ordered to gather his forces and bring the head of Playa to Phillipe Loren. He never tries to fulfil those orders.

46. #46Angel De LaMuerteselective

    Keys: Angel De LaMuerte, Angel

    Angel was a member of the Luchadores until Killbane, jealous of his rising respect, unmasked him, forcing Angel into hiding. After being saved from The Luchadores by the 3rd Street Saints, he is recruited by them. Determined to exact revenge against Killbane, Angel works with Playa to eliminate the Luchadores, training them for a wrestling match against Killbane.

    Angel is a Mexican-American former Luchador and member of the 3rd Street Saints. In his glory days, he was once a tag-team partner to the famous Luchador and his partner-in-crime, Killbane, which Kinzie mentions after Zimos has been rescued. Soon after, they formed a gang in Steelport called the Luchadores, made up of masked wrestlers who use heavy weapons and loved fistfights. As the gang grew larger, Killbane became angry and jealous of Angel's respect in the gang, therefore causing him to unmask Angel, causing him great shame.

    After Kinzie mentions Angel as a useful anti-Syndicate talent to Playa, he rescues Angel from an attack by The Luchadores at his gym. Angel is assigned to help The Saints eliminate The Luchadores, with Angel's background as a former Luchador making Playa persuade him into acting as a personal trainer to them for a potential match against Luchador leader and Angel's former tag team partner Killbane.

47. #47Kinzie Kensingtonselective

    Keys: Kenzie, Kinzie Kensington

    Kinzie is a thin, white, ginger woman with glasses. She is heavily involved in BDSM. She was once a member of the FBI until she was dismissed for possessing what was claimed to be "manufactured evidence". The members of the press claim her to be paranoid. She is also somewhat of a conspiracy theorist (though in some cases her theories are actually well founded), such as the existence of the Daedalus, the threat of Matt Miller, The Syndicate, and an alien invasion.

    Kinzie Kensington also has a wide range of technical skills, she was displayed as being a computer genius capable of "broadcasting [Playa's] sub-conscious into the Decker user net" in order for Playa to battle with Matt Miller.

    Kinzie was originally an intelligence agent for the FBI. She had been investigating The Syndicate and planning to out them as an underground criminal organization, but the Deckers framed her to make it look like she had been selling secrets to Mossad and moonlighting as a dominatrix, her employment was terminated, and she was captured by the Deckers. The Saints later rescued her from a barge operated by the Deckers.

    She and Pierce are assigned to the Deckers, which was suggested in the Deckers.die trailer.

    Kensington is a paranoid agoraphobic computer expert who is rescued from a Deckers' Ship, she is assigned to take down the Deckers and its leader Matt Miller who constantly believes he is superior to her, which proves to be his undoing. Her technical skills are unmatched and her time in the FBI gave her extremely critical and sometimes top-secret info, such as Playa's real name, STAG's "Learning Computer", and that the Deckers hid the NEMO chair at the Burns Hill Reactors. In fact, she is rarely without her laptop.

    Her capture by the Deckers and her "inside view" from the FBI, which gave her plenty of hidden and top-secret information, may have led to Kinzie's extreme agoraphobia. In fact, her agoraphobia is so severe that she'll rarely venture out. When she does, it's only to a small restaurant, Smiling Jack's, nearby her "Inner Sanctum". Once at Smiling Jack's, Playa finds her hiding under a table. Her social skills have degenerated to such a level that she doesn't know how to wash her hair.

48. #48Matt Millerselective

    Keys: Miller, Matt Miller

    Matt Miller is the leader of the Deckers, and like Phillipe Loren, Killbane, Viola, and Kiki DeWynter a member of The Syndicate. He is an expert in all instances of cyber crime such as hacking, and is usually the guy whom the rest of the Syndicate goes to for such instances. Despite the grave threat he poses to the cyber community, Matt is timid and a physical weakling who relies on his intellectual strengths to deal with any adversaries. He speaks with an English accent from the north of London, and is only 16 years old.

    Matt Miller has a major obsession for technology, which he incorporates it into his clothing, such as a wrist band on his right arm which features a key pad and screen with a neon blue trim, and various high-tech features on his dark, neon blue, light-up jacket. He is a described Internet god but is socially awkward when out in the open. Matt and his gang are computer geniuses, but in stark contrast to the Luchadores or the Morningstar, they are more subtle in their commitment of cyber crime. In addition, all of them dress in very much the same way, sporting dark clothing with neon-blue highlights.

    Little information is given about Matt's background. Matt is "the youngest and newest member of the Syndicate", "an extremely talented hacker from England" and was first recruited into the Syndicate because "Phillipe couldn't figure out how to use his cell phone".[Reference needed]

    He frequently attends Syndicate meetings in person, and has a girlfriend who lives in Burns Hill.
