Saints Row (series)/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


A list of characters from the Saints Row series. Gang affiliation is a big part of the character's identities, so they're grouped by the gang they work/worked for (if applicable).

The Player Character

The Boss/Playa (all incarnations)

Main Tropes

  • Ascended Fanboy: In the third game Male 1 will sometime shout "Murder time, fun time!" when he kills someone. Also, The Boss working for Burt Reynolds.
  • BADASS
    • Determinator: He/she is like a walking talking blender - anything between their goal goes down.
    • Also even when completely stoned he/she can still fight off enemies en masse.
    • One-Man Army: NPC allies aren't exactly competent fighters so you'll be doing most of the work.
  • Berserk Button: In the sequels, harming the Boss's subordinates is enough for them to take a break from carefree mayhem and give the perpetrator their full attention.
    • Also betrayal, you can be an undercover cop or a former rival gang member but never fuck with the Boss when it comes to loyalties or he/she will hunt you down to the ends of the earth.
  • Book Dumb: Zigzagged. At times the Boss comes across as downright stupid, but there are occasional hints that it's of the obfuscating variety and every once in a while the Boss says something genuinely insightful or smart (which almost always results in a shocked reaction from the other characters).
    • Though it's eventually confirmed The Boss is a massive fan of Jane Austen and has read their work extensively.
  • The Captain: After the first incarnation of the Saints.
  • Character Development: Goes from Julius' lieutenant to a borderline psychopath in the second game. The range of voice options can elaborate this further. The third game has Boss come across as more level headed than Shaundi, helped further by player input on certain decisions (nuke the Syndicate's headquarters or keep it as a base, use zombie gas to create more homies or dispose of it, sacrifice Shaundi to go after Killbane or save her). Third-game Boss is also noticeably nicer than second-game boss and can even be outright heroic at times, though s/he's still completely nuts. By game four, The Boss is firmly on the higher end of the anti-hero scale
  • Coup De Grace Cutscene: S/he finished most of the gang leaders in the series like this. Matt Miller in The Third bribes the Boss into allowing him to pull a Screw This, I'm Outta Here instead.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Even in the game where he barely talks.

"I'm gonna skull fuck that bitch."
"Hope you don't mind hepatitis."

  • Devil in Plain Sight: Becomes less noticable over time as they get progressively more heroic as the games continue.
  • Drives Like Crazy: Of course, this depends on how you play... and it's kinda hard to follow traffic laws while you're listening to Wolfmother.
    • Regardless of how you play, it's Lampshaded by almost every character who rides shotgun with you. Characters from the first game give a familiar Continuity Nod in regards to it. And Jane waxes poetic about your vehicular carnage.
    • Here's something well hidden. Call up a homie then when they arrive dismiss them. S\he will get in their vehicle and take off. You can jump in the passenger seat and now Boss will give them shit over their driving. It's best to have a load of flashbangs to freak out your homie and any driver\passengers to encourage accidents.

"Really? Really?"

  • Even Evil Has Standards: S/he may be an amoral crime boss, but is still horrified after seeing the corpses of people experimented on by Ultor in the Ultor Exposed DLC.
    • Again in the third game. Murder, theft, human trafficking, insurance fraud, and wanton destruction are all fine. Hypercommercialisation, on the other hand, is something the Boss starts having doubts about. This may or may not stick depending on the ending chosen. Canon states The Boss decided to compromise by deciding to to keep reminding themselves of their roots while still not tossing all their principles aside for greed or personal gain if they had to make a choice as of SR IV.
    • Also in the third game Boss doesn't like the way a director of the movie they happen to be staring in treats the actress they play alongside and quickly begins trying to screw with him and get him to stop even though he does nothing but praise whatever Boss does. They also try to get the poor girl to stand up for herself so he won't pick on her so much.
    • In The Trouble With Clones Boss becomes kind of heroic, as s\he is genuinely pissed at the army attacking Pierce and Johnny Tag, even showing remorse for the Saints failing Gat. Whatever criticism you can level at Boss, s\he has one of the most heroic scenes yet.
    • The fourth game has The Boss genuinely horrified when the Big Bad destroys Earth, just to prove how much he should be taken seriously. Keep in mind back in SR2, The Boss themselves was a barely restrained psychopath at best who would have been happy to watch the world burn for shits and giggles, so this was basically invoked to show just how much The Boss had undergone Character Development.
  • Evil Feels Good: Tells Julius this more or less before s\he kills him.
    • More Like Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster!.
      • Which is subverted by the fourth game, as by this point The Boss has become a world leader, and one of their very first game decisions can be to end world hunger or support a cure for cancer, with no evil option available at all.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Throughout a majority of the second game.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: The first game begins with the Playa just walking down a street before being caught in a gang fight and co-opted into the Saints. S\he takes to the lifestyle like a duck to a thing a duck would enjoy a lot.
  • Garbage Wrestler The only way the Boss was able to fight Killbane in Murderbrawl.
  • He Who Fights Monsters: In the second game. Is given the option to keep doing that at the end of SR3, but opted not to as of SRIV canon.
  • Implacable Man: Both in and out of gameplay, assuming you do enough diversions. Blowing up The Boss just got him/her pissed off, and in the second game, the full complement of perks means that s/he can jump out of a plane, get hit by three exploding trucks on fire, and take a point-blank shotgun blast to the face without going down.
  • Jerkass: On a bad day.
  • Kick the Dog: The Boss is fond of doing this, especially in the second game. Arguably the most brutal example was the way s/he cripples Matt's hand with fireworks. Matt had nothing to do with The Brotherhood other than doing their tattoos and being close friends with Maero. He gave him/her all the information s/he wanted and s/he still ruins his livelihood as both a tattoo artist and musician by doing this.
    • The Boss starts easing off on this from the third game onward, but it still comes up as an option.
  • Made of Iron
  • Mercy Kill: Did this to Carlos after the Brotherhood mortally wounded and disfigured him.
  • Nakama: With the Saints, most of the time. Get upgraded to basically all the time by the end of the fourth game. Said Nakama repays the favor in the expansion.
  • No Name Given: S/he's usually just referred to as the Boss.
    • In the third game pairing Boss with Zimos may prompt some dialogue where Boss asks Zimos what his real name is when Zimos says it's "Need to know and you don't". When Zimos asks Boss their name the Russian female boss says her name is classified.
      • Male 3 tells Zimos that his name is Winston Churchill. He doesn't buy it.
    • The last Heli Assault activity against the Deckers reveals that Kinzie knows the Boss's real name. The Boss promptly tells her to shut up when she starts to say it.
  • Not So Harmless: Maero originally believes that The Boss is just a washed-up gangbanger and therefore gives him/her a pitiful proposition. He REALLY regrets this as the gang war between them becomes increasingly brutal and vicious.
  • Pay Evil Unto Evil: The Ronin and Brotherhood missions especially consist of increasingly bloody games of tit-for-tat between The Boss and whoever's stupid enough to try and get to him/her through the Saints' lieutenants.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: By the end of SRTT, s/he is able to blow up a sky scraper, sink an aircraft carrier, take on a well-armed paramilitary group, bring down a flying warship, set up a citystate, not to mention kill a truly ungodly number of people.
  • Pet the Dog: S/he seems to show genuine care and concern for the Saints, especially the lieutenants. This is especially apparent with his/her reaction to having to Mercy Kill Carlos.
    • In the new "Gangstas In Space" DLC Boss is extremely nice to the actress they have to work with. They coach her throughout the DLC to stand up for herself and not take shit from the Jerkass director who insults and belittles her at every chance he gets. Soon they even become friends and she can be called as a homie upon completion of the last mission.

By the end Boss may have rubbed off on her a bit more than they intended...

    • This actually becomes plot relevant to the third game, with the Boss being asked by other Saints if they are softening with their new public image, and depending on your choices in the third game, the Boss can either continue this trope or revert back to being the ruthless bastard they were in SR2. The ending is basically choosing whether to go this trope permanently or not. As of the fourth game, the route for this trope is canon.
      • It's noteworthy throughout the series that anyone who becomes affiliated with the Saints falls under someone the Boss would kill for so long as they return the favor, and this applies to all members, regardless of how long they've been a Saint or how big or small their contributions are.
  • Protagonist Without a Past: In the first game, he's just an ordinary schmuck who happens to walk right into a gang war, without any backstory. Was he a criminal beforehand, or a law-abiding citizen seduced by the criminal lifestyle? We don't find out. However, along with having way more dialogue, we get some small tidbits of info. For example, s/he mentions coming to a bordello since s/he was a teenager, and one of the female voices reveals that her father loved guns and told her that you could never have enough. Plus, the events of the first game are your protagonist's past now.
  • Silent Bob: In the first game s/he only has four spoken lines, in the sequel s/he speaks just as much as any other character. This is also Lampshaded in the second game.

Julius: "Jesus...you haven't learned a god damn thing."
Boss: "Wrong! I learned that being in charge was better than being a bitch who kept his/her mouth shut and does what s/he's told!"

    • Also,

Aisha: Oh my god, it's you.
Boss: Surprised, Aisha?
Aisha: What, that you're here, or that you're talking?
Boss: Pick one.

  • Sobriquet: The Butcher of Stilwater.
  • The Sociopath: Cares for his/her lieutenants, but makes it clear that s/he's in the gang scene for the perks and power. Has nothing but contempt for Julius's attempt to be a "killer with a conscience."

Julius: Don't you get it? The Saints didn't solve a goddamn thing. Drugs were still being pushed, innocent people were still being killed... all we did was turn into Vice Kings that wore purple...
Playa: Jesus Christ you sound like a pussy...
Julius: I sound like someone who's not a sociopath...

    • This trope is averted more and more in the third game (dependent on your choices), and almost entirely in the fourth.
  • Squee: S\he has this reaction big time over Burt Reynolds.
  • Suddenly Voiced: Oh so much in the second game. The voice options are absolute gold.
  • Talkative Loon: Believe it or not s\he talks even more in the third game and fourth game.
  • Took a Level in Badass: In Saints Row 2.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Also in Saints Row 2.
    • They can keep going this way in one of the SR3 endings if they choose to.
  • Villain Protagonist: S/he's not exactly one of God's best children, being a murderer, drug trafficker, thief, and possible jaywalker.
    • A Lighter Shade of Grey: On the other hand, despite being a criminal, the Boss does wind up doing acts of altruism for their friends in the second game onwards, and one of the endings of the third game has one of villains concede that the Saints looked more heroic than the supposed heroes (who were actually the villains), as they wound up stopping an actual terrorist plot. By the fourth game, the Saints have become full on Anti Heroes.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: S/he can adopt wrestling moves in the second game from the Brotherhood.
    • The third game, while doing away with four separate fighting styles, incorporates wrestling moves into the Boss's fighting style by default.

Gender, Race and Playing Style Selection Tropes

  • Acrofatic: You can make your Boss fat (ranging from "chubby" fat to "gives The Notorious B.I.G. a run for his money" fat), and s/he'll still be able to sprint and jump without a hitch. Regarding the sprint, you can unlock infinite sprint... meaning you can run laps around the city and still look like you're in danger of having a heart attack at any minute.
  • Ambiguously Gay/Depraved Bisexual: Female boss definitely likes girls, even if there's one voice, when stoned, asking if Pierce was interested in her.
    • The same voice also ask Johnny if a hospital is a good place to pick up guys and later remarks on phone watching two strippers perform.
  • And This Is For: In the third game, Female 1 voiced Boss will give one when planting each explosive during the final mission of the "Shock and Awe" ending. Makes it all the more poignant.

"One for Shaundi..."
"One for Viola..."
"One for my crew..."
"And one just for me..."

Russian!Female Boss: When I was a child, my father would make me fight the dogs for food. <sighs> It made me who I am today.

  • Hot Amazon: A female boss will tower over every other woman and several guys in the game. Various male Saints will also comment on her being the toughest chick they ever met.
  • Intelligible Unintelligible: In the third game, with the Zombie voice option.
  • Juggalo: Many fans of Psychopathic Records were quite pleased to find face paint options in the second game. Although there are only four different styles the sheer amount of customization options allow many players to create their ideal juggalo persona.
  • Knife Nut
  • The Ladette: Played straight with all the female voices in Saints Row 2 and the Russian and Latina voices in The Third. Female voice 1 in TT also counts, but she does occasionally show a feminine side. This trope is the Latina voice to a T though.
  • Les Yay: Female characters have these moments.
  • Magic Plastic Surgery: Along with Easy Sex Change
  • Mother Russia Makes You Strong: The "Russian" voice in Saints Row The Third skews to this. "Is exciting, yes? Like attacking a tiger with a knife!"
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: The flip side of the Acrofatic option; you can be skinny as a rail and still throw people around like rag dolls and kill Brutes like it's nobody's business.
  • Platonic Life Partners: With Johnny Gat, if you play a girl. They're very close friends, but there's nothing sexual going on, and Johnny is hooked up with Aisha until "Bleeding Out" anyway.
    • Even afterwards it remains completely platonic in later games, though they would happily go through hell for each other. Gat winds up having to do so literally in the fourth game expansion.
  • Sassy Black Woman
  • Scary Black Man
  • Sensual Slavs as of Saint's Row the Third it is possible to be one of these.
  • Spicy Latina
  • Virtual Paper Doll: Thanks to the many options in clothing and body builds, you can make your own Boss rather easily. And making it resemble to another character is far from impossible. Pick up long purple hair, a tanktop, some shorts and pretend you're in Roanapur.
    • Blonde ponytail, red tank and black trousers, or jacket and jeans and you have Buffy. Crop top and cargoes, Kim Possible. With a little work you can pull off John Cena and Ric Flair (replete with their signature taunts). All part of the fun of course.
  • Vocal Dissonance: You can mix and match bodies and voices for the Boss. You can have a male body with a female voice, or the other way around. And then there's the zombie voice...
  • When I Was Your Age: Parodied; one of the lines demonstrating the "Male 1" voice in the third game complains about kids playing video games, saying that when he was young, he would've been playing outside... killing people in real life.
  • White-Haired Pretty Boy/White-Haired Pretty Girl
  • White Gang-Bangers

The 3rd Street Saints

The 3rd Street Saints - Active

Julius Little

Played By: Keith David

Julius is the charismatic founder and leader of the Third Street Saints in the first game. He saves the main character - who he refers to as "Playa" - from a gang shootout, and offers him a place in the Saints. Julius claims that their goal is to clean up Stilwater and wipe out the rival gangs who are raising hell and generally making life miserable, even if he does make some questionable decisions. He ultimately sells the Saints out and essentially destroys the gang after being caught by the cops, even seemingly killing "Playa" via boat explosion, and gets a job as a tour guide after Mega Corp Ultor moves in and renovates the entire Row. But Julius' past comes back to haunt him in the form of "Playa", who survived the explosion and wants answers - and revenge.

  • Affably Evil
  • The Captain: In the first incarnation of the Saints.
  • The Chessmaster: In short, he founds the Third Street Saints to wipe out the other three gangs in the city, then betrays them before sending them all to prison or death. The plan works brilliantly, except it just leaves open a vacuum for other gangs to fill. He also failed to kill the Player like he expected.
    • It's questionable how much of this is Xanatos Speed Chess since Julius gives up the Saints only after he's arrested with what's implied to be rock solid evidence.
  • Et Tu, Brute?
  • Face Heel Turn
  • Heel Face Turn
  • Hypocrite: Makes a deal with the Colombian drug cartels for the Saints to be their sole distributors when the Vice Kings refuse to touch the stuff.
  • Jive Turkey
  • Keith David: The voice actor himself is a character in SRIV, and his resemblance to Julius annoys him to no end when commented on.
  • Killed Off for Real
  • Necessarily Evil
  • Nice Hat
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: For all his well intentions in the first game, his manipulations end up resulting in a power vacuum that is quickly filled with new gangs and the Protagonist a Complete Monster who ends up killing Julius in revenge. Job Well done sir.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Is it just me, or does Julius look exactly like Samuel L. Jackson?
  • Real Life Writes the Plot: Julius originally wanted the gang color to be green. During the development of the first game, the developers originally planned for the Saints to have green as their color. But due to the release of a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas trailer which featured a gang in green and not wanting comparisons to be made, the devs changed it to purple.
  • Scary Black Man
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Whether he was justified or not depends greatly on the audience's perspective.
    • Deconstructed when you think about it. Julius' good intentions kill literally hundreds of people more than regular gang violence.

Johnny Gat

Played By: Daniel Dae Kim

  • All Girls Want Bad Boys: Aisha did.
  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: "387 counts of murder, and one count of attempted murder".
    • Though with the statute of limitations it should be lower.
  • BADASS: Is so legendary for it even The Boss affords him great respect.
    • We also find out the Big Bad of the fourth game was so scared shitless of Gat he kidnapped him from the plane in the beginning of the third game because he was certain leaving Gat to his own devices would screw over his plans in the fourth game. In short, Gat was so badass he could been the undoing of an entire alien invasion by himself.
    • Gat's own words on what he'd do if he met Satan:

I'm gonna punch him in the face.

  • Cluster F-Bomb: While the game isn't short on swearing, Gat manages to find new and creative ways to insert profanity into almost every sentence.
  • Cool Shades
  • Deadpan Snarker
  • Determinator
  • Everything's Deader with Zombies: Unlike Lin and Carlos, whom you need to call Eye For An Eye to unlock, you unlock Zombie Gat after completing the story line.
  • Heroic Sociopath: His response to any problem is to kick down a door and start shooting. He's so crazy that even other gangsters think he's a complete nutcase.
  • Killed Off for Real: He gets killed in the second mission of the third game by Philippe Loren. Much to the ire of the fans.
  • Made of Iron: Not quite to the degree of the Boss, but it still deserves a mention.
  • Murder Is the Best Solution
  • Never Found the Body/He's Just Hiding: What some fans are holding out for. Of course Zombie!Gat certainly doesn't leave much room for hope. Some fans even hope that the Trouble With Clones DLC has something to do with the return of Gat.
    • The Genkibowl VII DLC does hint that he may still be alive.
    • Trouble With Clones confirmed that the original Johnny is dead. But he was cloned and reborn as a Brute
    • The fourth game confirms he didn't die, he was kidnapped by the Big Bad of that game during the third game so Gat wouldn't be an obstacle in the fourth game.
  • Number Two: In the second incarnation of the Saints.
  • Sanity Slippage: Street gossip reveals that he becomes even more violently unhinged after Aisha's death.
  • Smoking Is Cool: The Gatmobile (which was made in his likeness) comes with a built in cigarette flamethrower. This is somewhat odd as Gat is never actually seen smoking in any of the games while many of the other Saints are. Maybe he picked up the habit between 2 and 3 to cope with the loss of his wife Aisha.
  • Sympathetic Murderer: Especially after Aisha is killed.
  • Sunglasses at Night
  • Testosterone Poisoning
  • The Worf Effect: He's a Badass Heroic Sociopath that can blast his way though an army of mooks but he seems to get hurt a lot to show the gang he's against means business. In the first game he's kneecapped by Anthony Green and held captive, in the second game he's run through with a sword by Jyunichi, and in the third he's stabbed by Philippe Loren and subsequently killed.
    • That last example may not count since, even after getting stabbed, Johnny goes One-Man Army on Loren's men before dying.

Troy Bradshaw

Played By: Michael Rappaport

  • The Atoner: In Gat Out of Hell.
  • Becoming the Mask
  • Call Back: While he doesn't actually appear in the third game a police officer in the first mission will mention him. Apparently, he is still chief of police, but doesn't have the pull to get the Saints off for their really extreme crimes. Or protect them from the Syndicate.

"Troy can't bail you out of this one!"

  • Da Chief: Let's just say he was promoted big time in the last five years.
  • Deal with the Devil: He genuinely didn't want to betray the Saints despite being an undercover cop. In the second game he sees working for Ultor and doing things that help the other gangs as this, while all this time he still helps the Saints in one way or another.
  • Dirty Cop: Sets out to protect the Saints in some form even as police chief.
  • Friendly Rival: To the Boss in Saints Row 2.
  • The Mole: He was a cop all along.
  • Must Make Amends: Attempts this with Julius after his arrest, attempts to get Julius to make amends by getting Gat and Playa to step down. His solution is to kill Playa and the corrupt Mayor Hughs. Many of the things he does for the Saints can also be seen as this for betraying them.
  • Number Two: In the first incarnation of the Saints.
  • Pet the Dog: He's the reason Boss is still alive after the bombing, keeping him\her on life support all that time.
  • Smoking Is Cool: Especially during the first game, where he lights his cigarette on the burning body of a tough rival gang member.
  • White Gang-Bangers

Dexter "Dex" Jackson

Played By: Jeffrey Allen Qaiyum

Lin

Played By: Tia Carrere

  • Action Girl
  • Bastard Girlfriend: Did you just insult her? Punch to the the face. Did you just act nice towards her? She'll be rude and treat you like dirt. Even Playa takes a little while to earn any respect from her.
  • Continuity Nod: Zombie Lin is referenced in Saints Row 2 and in The Third. Kinzie also has a photo of Lin in her Hacker Cave, though Pierce takes it before the boss could see it.
  • Everything's Deader with Zombies
  • Killed Off for Real
  • Seductive Spy
  • Ship Tease: Between their interactions in the first game, and how quickly Pierce hides the picture of her in the third, there is a rising amount of suspicion that the Boss has/had some feelings for Lin. Because he didn't know Lin, and his noticeably freaked out expression on seeing her picture, it is implied that unless the Boss him/herself brings it up, you don't talk about Lin.
  • One of the Boys
  • Reverse Mole
  • Smoking Is Cool: Just like many of the male Saints.
  • Wrench Wench: She gets really annoyed at the Rollers when they think someone like Donnie worked on her car, when in reality she tricked it out entirely by herself.

Shaundi

Played By: Eliza Dushku & Danielle Nicolet

One of the Saints' lieutenants, Shaundi starts as a stoner/college dropout/hippie type who Really Gets Around and is almost always under the influence of some kind of drug. However, she's still a very efficient member of the Saints, and the countless people she knows provide the Saints with tons of leads regarding the rival gangs. But in The Third, she's become a lot more serious and focused - especially after Johnny Gat is killed.

  • Action Girl
    • Faux Action Girl: Her getting kidnapped by Veteran Child causes the Protagonist to accuse her of being this.
    • Dark Action Girl: Much more bloodthirsty in the third game. Though she still gets kidnapped (and more than anyone else, for that matter).
  • Antiheroic Sociopath: She prefers exterminating the Syndicate to the Boss's plan of taking them over, and doesn't mind expressing this view. As far as anyone else is concerned, she won't want to kill them unless they piss her off, like Birk.
  • Blood Knight: After Johnny's death nothing less than the murder of every member of the Syndicate will placate her. If she and Angel are in your party they might have a conversation about how uptight she is, why she is, and how she will do whatever it takes to screw over the Syndicate, before Angel professes his love to her for those qualities.
  • Character Development: Picking up on clues from the games, it seems after a bad trip to Steelport she becomes a stoner, before joining the Saints. In the third game she ditches drugs, dating and Took a Level in Badass, then becomes enraged over Johnny's death.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Sort of. She's pretty on the ball, but a little forgetful and spacy due to being constantly stoned.
  • Damsel in Distress: In one level two levels. The boss actively questions her Action Girl credentials, concluding in the final missions of the Samedi arc that the only character she could take on is Veteran Child, and only because of his recent death.
  • Distaff Counterpart: To Gat in the third game, minus the happy attitude. She clearly cares for him, and when he dies she really wants to kill Phillipe Loren, just the same as Gat wants Jynuichi dead for killing his wife. When Killbane attacks Gat's funeral Shaundi really wants to kill him, just like Gat had Shogo Buried Alive when he attacked Aisha's funeral. They also miss their shot at taking out the Big Bad (a security guard sneaks up on Gat before he can take out Vogel, and before Shaundi can kill Killbane Matt Miller makes the chopper she and Boss are on crash.)}}
  • Eliza Dushku: In Saints Row 2
  • Erudite Stoner
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Shaundi is right into fighting gangs. Random assaults on people in the street will bore her.

"Yeah, this isn't working for me."

  • Flanderization: In both games. On the one hand she was a constant stoner with a ridiculous amount of boyfriends. On the other hand she becomes a stone cold killer, second only to the Boss, and is constantly pissed off.
    • This even becomes a deliberate plot point in SRIV.
  • Hotter and Sexier: She was by no means unattractive in the second game, but by The Third, her look has really...changed.
  • Murder Is the Best Solution: Forget taking over the Syndicate, Shaundi wants them all dead because they killed Gat and attacked his funeral. Forget that Josh Birk can be used to lure STAG into a trap, or to make a deal, just kill him.
  • New Age Retro Hippie
  • Noodle Incident: Various comments hint at something bad happening when she visited Steelport before. It's hinted that Zimos used her as a ho.
  • Not as You Know Them: Between her drastic change in appearance and unusually focused demeanor, you'd never know that the Shaundi in Saints Row the Third was a laid back stoner chick in the second game.
    • Which becomes a plot point in the fourth game. She became her SR3 persona in disgust over how helpless her SR2 persona was, but never really got over how it made her feel like she abandoned part of herself in the process.
  • Number Two: Treated as this in the third game.
  • One of the Boys
  • Really Gets Around: Actually, this makes her very useful. All the Saints usually have to do is wait for one of the over six hundred guys she used to fuck to give her a call.
    • She ditches this in the third game, only mentioning a single ex in Steelport that she keeps in contact with who is willing to let the Saints crash at his apartment. The guy she's most focused on is Gat and that's only because of his death. She might get angry at her past being brought up, and her reaction to a actor hitting on her is to plead to Boss to let her kill him.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge: In the third game. She tears into the Boss when s\he loses control of the helicopter they're sniping from, causing her to miss killing Killbane (who Shaundi really wants dead after his attack when the Saints were arranging Gat's funeral). She also begins a What the Hell, Hero? when the Saints start turning into the Syndicate, rather that Kill'Em All.
  • Sanity Slippage: Like Gat after Aisha's death she breaks after Gat's death, becoming more angry and violent.
  • Self-Serving Memory: After Johnny's death she is enraged about both Pierce and Boss for quickly getting over it, telling her it's better to move on than to spend all time mourning, acting as if it's the first time Boss lost a close friend. Apparently she either has forgotten Carlos or ignores his death and how Boss handled it. Which was the same way.
  • Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: Mid way through the game she will call you and discuss your actions, depending on which voice you use. She may be optimistic, even crediting Matt and Kinzie on their work (female voice 1). With another voice she'll call you out on keeping Viola around and turning into the Syndicate when she wants to just kill'em. Other options are for Boss to reassure her that they are doing what they do for Gat.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Say what you want, she did survive the last encounter with The General.
    • Her Action Girl credentials in The Third gets taken up quite a bit since she turns into a female version of Gat after his death.

Shaundi: *after taking Boss' gun and shooting two Syndicate guards in the head* Put in your tampons and let's do this!

  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Viola might try being nice to her. Shaundi deadly tells her not to say a word to her.
    • She knows Russian Boss is obsessed with Pierce so she'll troll her by claiming she and Pierce are going to get married and have a bunch of kids. Boss is not amused by this.
  • White Gang-Bangers

Carlos Mendoza

Played By: Joe Camareno

The first person the Boss meets after waking up from his/her coma, Carlos proceeds to help him/her escape from prison and return to Stilwater. This effectively acts as his foot in the door into the Saints (which his brother was a member of before they disbanded), and the Boss recruits him as a lieutenant. He's young and inexperienced, but genuinely tries, and the Boss appears to see him as a bit of a younger brother figure.

Pierce Washington

Played By: Arif S Kinchen

One of the Saints' lieutenants, Pierce starts off as an efficient if rather whiny tactician who keeps having ideas taken from him and is rarely, if ever, given any respect. By the time of The Third however, while he's still a bit of a Butt Monkey, he gets way more respect and is more of a slickster type. In his free time, he enjoys playing chess and listening - and occasionally singing - to classical music and soft R&B.

  • Ambiguously Gay: Has some fruity mannerisms at times, but is either mildly Camp Straight or bisexual, given how he was about to score with a stripper in the third game well, before she turned out to be an assassin who tried to ventilate his skull with his own pistol.
  • Badass: So much so he's one of the chief lieutenants of Third Street Saints since the second game.
    • Badass in a Nice Suit: Drops his old gangsta style clothes in favor of a more professional look in the third game.
  • Black Best Friend: Shown more in The Third, with him and the Boss singing "What I Got" together after reminiscing about the recently deceased Johnny Gat.
  • Butt Monkey: His love of classical music is mocked, and his plans are either ignored or credited to Shaundi.
    • Though it should be noted he is still one of the best fighters of the Saints and Boss values his support in missions. He/she also remarks how he is far above Shaundi in that regard.
    • He's still one in The Third, but less of one. It even gets lampshaded in the intro:

JOHNNY GAT and SHAUNDI are pop-culture icons. And Pierce... Well, who gives a fuck about Pierce?

    • Relatively AVERTED if you choose to kill Killbane. After the Boss declares Steelport a sovereign city-state, s/he offers Pierce the office of Mayor.
  • Nice Hat
  • Smart People Play Chess: Is seen playing a few games with Oleg over the course of the game and is strongly implied to be winning each time, though he never does get a chance to actually finish his game...
  • The Strategist: Although he never gets any credit for it in the second game. Is given somewhat more respect in the third game and beyond.
    • Kia in SR3 will even comment on his intellectual gifts and notes he's dangerous as a result.

Oleg Kirlov

Played By: Mark Allen Stuart

A rather massive ex-KGB super soldier who was captured by the Syndicate and cloned in the hopes of developing a private army. He gets freed by the Saints during the raid on the Syn Building at the end of Act I.

  • Awesome but Impractical: As a homie, Oleg is an incredibly tough, deceptively fast and devastatingly powerful melee fighter, inflicting at least as much damage with his fists alone as the other homies can inflict with their guns. However, despite being virtually unstoppable, his sheer size means he cannot ride on most vehicles alongside the Boss. Also, because he is exclusively a melee fighter, he is a common target of friendly fire. If shot or hit by an explosion caused by the Boss, he'll get upset and leave the party; not only that, but he'll attack the Boss, and failure to beat a quick time event to dodge his punch means instant death to the Boss, regardless of how many health points s/he has left.
  • The Big Guy: Very big. When you call him as a homie, a random mook Saint drives up in a Criminal pick-up truck with Oleg riding in the bed of it.
    • Apparently his size has caused him to hate the mini car Emu, which he tells Boss to destroy at any given opportunity as one of the challenges on Saints Book. He admits it might be irrational.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Has some very witty dry one liners, like when he needles Pierce over how uncomfortable he is over seeing Oleg naked by asking if has something to be ashamed of. He also snarks about The Boss not liking the Syndicate's love of pink with:

Would you prefer a more manly shade.....like purple?"

  • Geeky Turn On: He admits he's got a crush on Kinzie, since he considers her an intellectual equal - he manages to finish a few of her sentences and she talks a lot in Techno Babble.
  • Genius Bruiser: Don't let his appearance fool you... he is well-spoken, intellectual, and an excellent tactician.
    • He and Pierce are seen playing chess against each other.
    • If he's around as a homie he even offers to teach the boss Latin, saying it's the only language intellectuals should be speaking in.
  • Husky Russkie: AND HOW.
  • Naked on Arrival: When you first meet him.
  • Smart People Play Chess
  • The Spock: He'll often defend the most logical or pragmatic solutions to some of the crossroads in the game. For example, he suggests that the Saints keep Loren's building to themselves instead of destroying it and that they also keep the chemical that creates zombies so that Saints can manufacture their own zombies instead of getting rid of it all like Mayor Reynolds asked. Pierce gets to play The McCoy to Oleg's The Spock when Oleg encourages the Boss to go after Killbane, arguing that all of their efforts up to that point would have been meaningless if Killbane escaped, while Pierce believes that the Boss should let Killbane escape and go rescue Shaundi instead.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Like fellow Russian giant Zangief, Oleg can do the Pile Driver to finish off enemy Brutes.

Kinzie Kensington

Played By: Natalie Lander

A former FBI intelligence agent who's employment was terminated after the Deckers framed her for an unknown crime. She becomes the Saints' new tech expert after they rescue her from a Deckers-owned barge.

Kinzie: "Sure, let down your guard and suddenly, they make it look like you're selling secrets to Mossad and moonlighting as a dominatrix."

  • Covert Pervert: As well as being a regular at a BDSM club she has a bust wearing a leather gimp mask, her own Penetrator dildo bat (which Pierce whacks The Boss with!), dresses Boss as a sex doll and mentions using electronics to get herself off. Kenzie being Kenzie, the toilet and sex doll avatars in the http://deckers.die mission were probably for shits and giggles.
  • Deus Ex Machina: Discussed and defied.

Kinzie I'm not a Deus ex machina you know!

  • Dueling Hackers: With Matt Miller during some of the Deckers missions.
  • Genius Slob: If you have her and Viola as homies at the same time it's revealed that Kinzie doesn't know how to wash her hair.
  • Hacker Cave: Her warehouse crib is set up as this.
  • Hikikomori: In her first post rescue mission she states outright that she hates people. When she gets shot at she might say "This is what I get for going outside!" and one Heli Assault mission ends with her declaring that she's going to shut herself away for a week. Her phone call when all the Deckers territory has been taken over implies that she's slowly becoming more sociable and has started going outside more.

Kinzie: I could have been at home on my computer, but noooo... someone suggested that I "grow as a person"...

  • Hollywood Nerd: Type II. For a computer geek, she's quite the looker.
  • Lampshade Hanging: Will call out Zimos' inconsistent use of his microphone staff when the two are called as Homies together.
  • Meganekko
  • Playful Hacker
  • Properly Paranoid: Constantly works without sleep during the Deckers missions to keep them from getting the upper hand. Justified since they've already cost her her job in the FBI and she wants payback.
  • Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: In one level of heli assault she has to stop for petrol, when Boss asks how she forgot she says she was busy figuring out how to DESTROY AN ENTIRE GANG!
  • Room Full of Crazy: Kinzie's room in her lair is full of newspaper clippings of sittings of Zombie Lin to aliens. There is also a lot of Ultor related stuff.
  • She Knows Too Much: Actually knows the Boss's name. All the Boss can do is tell her to keep it to herself.
  • Slap Slap Kiss: If you try to romance Kinzie in the fourth game, she will punch you in the face before going down on you.
  • Techno Babble: Kinzie has a tendency to spout out scientific/technological terms that the Boss has no idea what it means. Even when asked to talk in Layman's Terms, she'll lapse back into this in no time flat.
  • Unusually Uninteresting Sight: In the debut trailer, she's seen typing away on a keyboard while the Boss and Johnny get into a firefight. Her only response is to shake her head and continue typing.
    • Fridge Brilliance: If the club is being attacked by the Syndicate, Kinzie's likely too busy stopping a Digital Attack from the Deckers to care about the firefight.

Angel De La Muerte

Played By: Hulk Hogan

A former luchadore who was once part of the Pale Horsemen tag-team with Killbane. The two formed the Luchadores gang, but Killbane's ego took a hit due to Angel's better popularity with their subordinates. As a result, Killbane de-masked him and Angel left in shame.

  • Actor Allusion: If you have Angel as a homie, he'll sometimes yell, "We're taking over!"
  • Badass: His missions are about making the Boss into one that can take on Killbane, and he advocates stuff like getting hit by moving vehicles to toughen oneself to discomfort and driving around with a tiger in the passenger seat of your car to eliminate the fear impulse. And it WORKS.
  • Hulk Hogan: His voice actor.
  • In the Hood: Likely used to hide his face after he was publicly de-masked in the ring and went into hiding.
  • Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Despite being obviously Hispanic, Hogan makes no attempt to put any accent in his voice.
    • Double points for irony, Hulk Hogan IS Hispanic.
  • Proud Warrior Race Guy: He stays in a dingy casino to remind him of what Killbane took from him. He rushes after Killbane in the ending regardless of your actions. And he is affectionate to Shaundi because she had become a Blood Knight.
  • Training from Hell: Sets the Boss through various dangerous "training sessions" to prepare him/her for fighting Killbane, including making him/her drive around the town with a tiger in the backseat to "confront fear" as he puts it.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Obviously.

Zimos

Played By: Alex Desert

An old school pimp whose heavy smoking habit lead to a tracheotomy, although this hasn't stopped him from doing so. He was once friends with the DeWynter sisters, but after a falling-out they trapped him in a Morning Star run BDSM club.

  • Auto-Tune: His mechanical larynx has this installed in it.
  • Badass: As proven by him being willing to run into a heavy firefight despite being in a hard to move in gimp suit with a fake pony tail still shoved up his ass.
    • Badass Grandpa: He's fairly old, but still spry for his age.
    • Handicapped Badass: Has to talk through a mechanical larynx since a massive smoking habit fucked up his trachea, though it doesn't make him any less capable in combat.
  • Dirty Old Man: He's Steelport's oldest pimp. The sign outside his crib says that he's been in business since 1975. The game allegedly takes place in the mid-2010s.
  • Ethical Slut: In more than one way. While he is an unrepentant pimp and refers to his girls as hos and bitches (and is still nailing women left and right as evidenced in one cutscene), he does respect them enough to even have the Boss do some mission to rescue some prostitutes from the Syndicate so he can give them the same employment, but much better working conditions.
  • Naked on Arrival: Naked enough. You first encounter him as a prisoner in a BDSM room called "the Pony Show" with him wearing a gimp harness and bridle.
  • Pimp Duds: Including a gold walking cane shaped like the top half of a mic stand, with the microphone grip functioning as his mechanical larynx.
  • Sunglasses at Night
  • Women Scorned: The reason he found himself in a pony show is because he slept with one of the DeWynter sisters...Then forgot which one.



Other characters

Alderman Richard Hughes

Played By: Clancy Brown

Aisha

Played By: Sy Smith

Jane Valderama

Played By: Lauri Hendler

"Tonight's top story: Award-winning reporter kicks some ass!" Jane initially hires the Saints to create sensational news for her to report on. If the player mugs fifty people, she'll volunteer to be an 'embedded reporter' in the gang war,and become available as a homie.

Causing mayhem is better than reporting on it!

  • Intrepid Reporter: Intended as a parody of sorts, but she's still reasonably competent at her job.
  • Spell My Name with an "S": The developers have been inconsistent with spelling of her surname, even within the same game. In the second game, it's spelled "Valderama" in the homies listing and "Valderamma" in the subtitles. In the third game, it's spelled "Valderamma" in the assassination request and "Valderrama" in the news broadcast shown in one of the endings.

Wong Shen Tai

Wong: "You talk too much."

Manuel Orejuela

Played By: Carlos Ferra

Joshua "Josh" Birk

Played By: Andrew Bowen

An actor set to star as a member of The Saints in an upcoming movie and the star of Nyte Blayde. To get the real experience of being a Saint, he tags along on a bank heist with The Boss, Johnny Gat and Shaundi (who he has a massive crush on).

  • Abhorrent Admirer: His crush on Shaundi is emphatically not reciprocated. If you call them as homies together his attempts at flirting are met with threats of violence.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: When Shaundi meets up with him after the bank heist she wants to kill him. Not because he got them caught however, because he's hitting on her.

Shaundi: Boss you have to get me out of here! He's proposed to me six times! Can I kill him? Please god tell me I can kill him.

  • Large Ham: In his Nyte Blayde persona. Not that he isn't one already...
  • Lethal Joke Character: As a homie, he will be equipped with a stun gun or, as Nyteblayde, a weak pistol. However, much like the other homies, he can pick up weapons left on the ground by dead enemies, meaning that he can soon enough be equipped with an SMG, a shotgun or maybe even a rocket launcher. His car of choice, The Temptress, is also one of the fastest in the game.
  • Love Makes You Crazy: Willing to stay with the Saints after they kidnapped him just so that he could be with Shaundi, after which he'll be a recruitable homie (both as his regular self and as Nyte Blayde).
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Has an obsession with Shaundi and tries to use his acting as a tragic vampire-hunting vampire to woo her. Sadly for him she's basically turned into Gat and just wants to kill him, even pleading with the Boss to do so.
  • Meaningful Name: His last name is a different spelling of the word "berk", which means "idiot". Rhyming slang makes it "berkley hunt", or cunt. He lives up to the name.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He bails in the opening mission after accidentally setting off an alarm.

Shaundi: Josh! Are you trying to get us all jail time?!
Josh: Oh...I don't wanna be some dude's bitch!

Professor Genki

Played By: Yuri Lowenthal

The Host of Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax, the most popular TV show in Steelport.

Monica Hughes

The wife and widow of Richard Hughes. She is Mayor of Stilwater in Saints Row 2 and a U.S. Senator in Saints Row The Third. She is the one who spearheads the STAG Initiative.

  • Ascended Extra: Played a very minor role in the 2nd game, but became one of the major antagonists of the 3rd.
  • Enemy Mine: In the second game, she hires the player to spray human feces all over the place in her grudge against Ultor. In the third game, she works against the Saints.
  • Slave to PR: As a politician, she tries to keep public opinion of herself positive.
    • She also believes this is the way ("hearts and minds") to win the war against gangs and uses Nyte Blayde to aid STAG's public image. Cyrus disagrees with her.

Kia: Nyte Blayde's the face of STAG? Why don't you just put someone in a fucking deer suit?
Monica: Hearts and minds will win the war, my dear.
Cyrus: Shock and awe wins wars, Senator. Authorize the Daedalus and this will all be over.

    • Crosses over with Pragmatic Villainy in that if you take the route of disarming the bombs, she points out to Cyrus that his forces declared martial law and destroyed half the city, while the Saints foiled a terrorist plot to blow up a monument. She may not like the Saints, but she knows when a battle isn't worth fighting.
  • Sleazy Politician: Cheerleaders can be heard saying "It's okay, we won't lose, we'll just cheat like Mayor Hughes!"
  • The Unfought: She is a behind-the-scenes antagonist to the Saints.

Commander Cyrus Temple

Played By: Tim Thomerson

The commander of STAG brought in to deal with the gang war in Steelport.

"I've been a soldier longer then you've been alive!"

  • Cassandra Truth: When fighting him he simply cannot believe the Boss' (true) claim that Kia was behind the terrorist attack.
  • Colonel Kilgore: He believes "shock and awe" will win the war against gangs.

Kia: Nyte Blayde's the face of STAG? Why don't you just put someone in a fucking deer suit?
Monica: Hearts and minds will win the war, my dear.
Cyrus: Shock and awe wins wars, Senator. Authorize the Daedalus and this will all be over.

  • Hero Antagonist: He is aiming to defeat a street gang with a reputation for murder, drug dealing, and all sorts of other illegal activities, after all.
  • Hypocrite: When he uses Jessica's death as justification for his extreme tactics, he conveniently forgets to mention that Jessica herself was an unrepentant member of the Brotherhood (and was in fact The Dragon to Maero!) who casually orchestrated the horrifically brutal mutilation and subsequent death of Carlos.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In the "Save Shaundi" ending, he's forced to call off his raid of Steelport by the mayor and shoves off, but not before warning the Boss that s/he hasn't seen the last of him.
  • Straw Man Has a Point: Temple may be an absolute hard ass, but he relates the story of what happened to Jessica in the second game. As well as speaking out to gamers who were horrified at the sociopathy of that scene. Jane Valdarama (who can be a psychotically obsessed homie in the second game) is visibly shaken by what she's told.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Goes from having STAG as a presence to enforcing martial law, and if Kia is allowed to go terrorist he tries to blow up Steelport.

Kia

Cyrus' second in command. She takes on most of the missions for STAG.

  • Action Girl: Is capeable of fending off the Boss and kidnaps Shaundi twice.
  • Boat Lights: She has a messed up left eye, qualifying this trope.
  • Call Back: You save Shaundi from her much the same way as you killed Veteran Child.
  • The Dragon
  • Face Heel Turn: Near the end she stages a terrorist attack to blame the Saints.
  • False-Flag Operation: Kidnapping Shaundi, Viola and Mayor Reynolds so their bodies would be found in a bombing she pins on the Saints, which leads to STAG destroying Steelport and killing everyone in it.
  • Final Boss: In one ending.
  • Hot Amazon
  • Not So Heroic Antagonist: We can accept Cyrus trying to eliminate the gangs, and some of her actions are under his orders, instructions or with his authority. Staging a terrorist attack to legitimize levelling Steelport however is more or less a Moral Event Horizon.
  • Not So Stoic: When Boss meets her disguised as Cyrus she mentions a love for Aisha and how she joined STAG to go after those responsible for her death, leading The Boss to note their reasons for joining were Not So Different
  • Punny Name: KIA, as in Killed in Action.
  • War Is Glorious: Mentions this to Cyrus after martial law is imposed.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Fart bombs. Yes, fart bombs, used the same way as stun grenades.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Setting up a terrorist attack to blame the Saints and give STAG reason to destroy Steelport, and perfectly willing to have the mayor killed in the bombing. Though she dies with them if the bombs goes off.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Blames Boss for the deaths of Aisha, Carlos, Gat and Lin.

Mayor Burt Reynolds

Played By: Burt Reynolds

"Burt Fucking Reynolds!?"

The renowned actor who also happens to be the mayor of Steelport.

  • Adam Westing
  • Dirty Old Man: Seen making out with a hooker in his introduction.
    • Subverted with Kinzie. Apparently she was with him, but he couldn't live up to her expectations.
  • Memetic Badass: In-universe example. Apparently has outsmarted Paramilitary groups before and is feared by even Loren. The Boss all but bows down in reverence upon realizing who he is.
  • Noodle Incident: Have Oleg and Burt as Homies at the same time and they'll mentioned having fought each other in Moscow.
  • Porn Stache: Goes without saying.
  • Ultimate Authority Mayor: As Viola notes, you don't fuck with the mayor.

Laura

A loving wife, mother, and drug dealer whom Playa helps out in the first game, after which she becomes a homie. She returns in the sequel to help the Saints against the Sons Of Somedi.

  • Action Mom: You can even call her up as a homie in the first game. She brings a SHOTGUN with her.
  • Anti-Villain: Aside from the whole drug thing she's one of the most moral people in the city. When Boss breaks her out of jail she even leaves a nice note.
  • Ascended Extra: In the first game she's not much beyond a supporting character, but in the sequal she plays a larger role in helping bring down one of the rival gangs.
  • Happily Married: To her husband, Tobias.
  • Rich Bitch: Has a bit of this in the first game.

"I'm afraid to go into the city alone... because, well... I'm not POOR..."

Tobias

Played By: Brandon Keener

Like his wife Laura he deals drugs in the first game and helps the Saints take out a rival gang in the sequel. He also drives their getaway helicopter in the last mission of the game.

Jenny Jaros, a/k/a Princess Kwilanna

Boss's unfortunate co-star in the "Gangstas In Space" DLC who plays his love interest in the movie they are filming.

  • Absolute Cleavage: Not just her, but her entire race as well!
  • Action Girl: Holds her own in all of the fights she and Boss engage in. (It may be just a movie, but the actors are using lethal weapons.)
  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Her Pre-Mortem One-Liner to Andy is a list of things she hates relating to his attitude, but the last thing she says is "and I hate your stupid scarf!"
  • Beware the Nice Ones: In the first third of the DLC she is nothing but polite and friendly even when she gets treated like crap. Then, in act 2 she kills a bunch of girls who were set to replace her and in act 3 she kills the director who did nothing but insult her from the very start.
  • Damsel in Distress: During the first mission only. Once you free her she becomes a valuable partner.
  • The Dog Bites Back: After an entire movie of abuse from the asshole director she runs him down with a freaking space ship!
  • Everything's Better with Princesses: Her character is a princess who is... fighting her own race because... they are all under mind control...? Or something? The script for the movie sucks.
  • Purple-Skinned Space Babe: Not really, but she plays one in the movie.
  • Hot Space Amazon: She proves to be even more bloodthirsty and ruthless if provoked than even the Boss expected. Naturally, many fans still find her extremely sexy, including perhaps Boss himself/herself..
  • Morality Pet: The Boss is generally quite supportive of her and often encourages her to stand up for herself and not take Zhen's bullshit.
  • Ray Gun: Both her and the Space Amazons (The enemies for the DLC, which are supposed to be the same alien race as she is.) use this as their weapon of choice.

Andy Zhen

The Jerkass director for the Gangstas in Space movie.

  • Asshole Victim: From the moment he first appears, you're waiting for his comeuppance.
  • Bad Boss: He has no qualm with killing his actors and crew off to make the movie look more realistic.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice
  • Jerkass
  • Killed Off for Real: This prick's death was more satisfying than many of the actual gang leaders!
  • Prima Donna Director
  • Too Dumb to Live: Whoo boy... its one thing to treat one actor better than another, but this guy doesn't get that praising the Boss, and then immediately turning around and hurling abuse at Jenny right in front of the Boss, isn't a good idea. Even when she starts making death threats at him and trying to run his ass down with a giant spaceship, he's more offended that she's gone off-script.
  • Yes-Man: To the Boss. His mistake is that the Boss is aware there's a line between cooperating and straight-up ass-kissing.

Jimmy Torbitson

An amateur Mad Scientist whose experiments with recovered Saints DNA go horribly wrong in the DLC pack The Trouble With Clones, requiring Pierce and the Boss to intervene.

  • Extroverted Nerd: Socially inept, undoubtedly, but confident enough in his work that he actually tries to clone the late Johnny Gat, of all people, and then has the guts to go directly to the Boss and spill everything he knows after it goes wrong.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: Just look at what he did with a can of Saints Flow... god only knows what he could do if he had access to some high-end lab equipment...
  • Hollywood Nerd: Type 1, complete with spittle-spewing lisp and Nerd Glasses.
  • Teen Genius

Johnny Tag

A lumbering brute who was cloned from the DNA of Johnny Gat. He sets off on a massive rampage across the city, forcing Boss and Pierce to track him down with his creator Jimmy Torbitson.

  • Came Back Wrong: This thing is NOT Johnny Gat, that's for damn sure.
  • Cloning Blues: Shares a few of the origonal Johnny's interests and looks a little bit like him, but is otherwise a completely different individual.
  • Made of Iron: Being turned into a brute only made Johnny tougher, and he was already extremely tough anyway!
  • Sdrawkcab Name: Well, last name at least.
