The Brotherhood - Inactive

Maero

Played By: Michael Dorn

• Authority Equals Asskicking
• Badass Boast: Actually gets the boss to back down from a fight with one of these.

Boss: "Where's your crew? *Puts a gun to Maero's temple* "I could kill you right now." Maero: "No." *Stands up to reveal his full height* "You couldn't."

• Big Freaking Gun
• The Brute
• Even Evil Has Standards: Gets upset with Jessica when she makes an offensive remark about Carlos, although its possible he just didn't like her insulting the guys he just invited over to negotiate with.
• Huge Guy
• Killed Off for Real
• Large and In Charge
• Scars Are Forever: After "Waste Not, Want Not" he has a large burn scar covering half of his face from Boss and Carlos putting radioactive waste in Matt's tattoo ink.
• Tattooed Crook
• White Gang-Bangers

Matt

Played By: Anthony Pulcini

• Anti-Villain
• Killed Off for Real
• Nepotism: Only in the gang because his best friend, Maero gave him a job as a tattoo artist. He even tells the Boss that Maero deliberately keeps him out of the loop so that he won't get mixed up in the violence.
• Non-Action Guy: He's just a scrimshaw. The only time he tries to fight ends up getting him killed with a brick to the head.
• Senseless Sacrifice: Holding off the Boss so Maero and Donnie can escape. Not only is he killed with a brick by the Boss, but the Boss eventually kills Maero anyway.
• Tattooed Crook

Jessica Parish

Played By: Jaime Pressly

• Affably Evil: Up to a point.
• Asshole Victim: Big time.
• Call Back: Her death "by gangbangers" gets referenced to by STAG leader Cyrus Temple in SRTT as part of the reason that the unit was started in the first place. Although he blatantly leaves out the part where her and Maero were in a gang themselves, downgrading Maero to simply being a tough guy who drives monster trucks and her as an innocent caught in the crossfire.
• Dark Chick
• Killed Off for Real
• Not So Harmless: What she does to Carlos.
• One of the Boys: Or so she tries.
• Rich Bitch: It's implied she was one of these.
• Tattooed Crook
• Tiny Girl: Compared to Maero
• White Gang-Bangers

The Ronin - Inactive

Shogo Akuji

Played By: Yuri Lowenthal

• Badass Biker: The Ronin mooks probably see him as one. In reality he's just a spoiled punk who screws up fighting the Saints so bad his father has to fly in from Japan just to try and clean up his mess.
• Buried Alive
• Disc One Final Boss
• Get Back Here Boss: When the Ronin start losing the fight with Boss and Gat he tries to escape on his motorcycle. He doesn't get very far.
• Inadequate Inheritor
• Jerkass: He's a petty, stupid, vindictive punk who doesn't have any idea how to effectively use the resources at his command.
• Katanas Are Just Better
• Non-Action Guy: Spends the whole game giving orders and living off the Ronin's success. When he gets captured by Boss and Gat and tries to fight them he gets his ass kicked and then buried alive.
• Royal Brat: Spends his days living off the success of his father's gang, and when Jyunichi shows him up in front of his old man, he has the Boss kill him.
• Samurai
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Tries to pull one of these when his hit on Boss and Gat at Aisha's funeral goes south. The Boss manages to catch him before he can get away.
• Too Dumb to Live: After sabotaging his own gang, he tries to personally carry out a hit against Gat and the Boss at Aisha's funeral. This makes Gat very unhappy.
  • It gets better love. Aisha wasn't even IN the coffin. It was a setup, Because Johnny knew Shogo was too stunned to just let Aisha have a proper funeral.
• "Well Done, Son" Guy: One of the citizens will tell the Boss that Kazuo was more pissed that Jyunichi was killed (because of Shogo no less) than his son being given a Texas funeral .
• Yuri Lowenthal

Kazuo Akuji

Played By: Steve Blum

• Abusive Father: Frequently tells Shogo right to his face that he fills him with shame.
• Badass Boast: Gives one while impaled on a katana just seconds before dying in a boat explosion.

Akuji: "When I escape, the WORLD WILL NOT BE BIG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO HIDE IN!"

• Badass Grandpa: It may not seem apparent at first, but he is probably the most dangerous of all the rival gang leaders. For example, he beats the Boss in a sword duel (something Jyunichi couldn't even do while accompanied by a team of mooks) and forces the boss to use his/her ace in the hole. If Boss hadn't brought his/her gun with him/her, he/she would have ended up the one impaled on a burning boat. Also, it should be noted that this is the first time the Boss is bested by an enemy in direct combat (Even Maero and the General go down without posing a real threat to the Boss's life and they had a ton of their gang members backing them up!) and forced to rely on Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? to defeat his/her foe.
• Corrupt Corporate Executive
• The Dreaded
• Hoist by His Own Petard
• Katanas Are Just Better
• Killed Off for Real
• The Man Behind the Man
• Samurai
• Yakuza

Played By: Brian Tee

• Bald of Evil
• The Dragon
• Dual-Wielding
• Even Evil Has Standards
• Honor Before Reason: He team-kills a Ronin mook by throwing one of his swords at them, for daring to try shooting Gat during their impromptu duel.
• Hypercompetent Sidekick
• Katanas Are Just Better: And he has two of them.
• Killed Off for Real
• Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: With Gat. And Boss. What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?
• Like a Son to Me: Kazuo holds him in much higher regard than Shogo.
• Noble Top Enforcer
• Samurai
• Undying Loyalty: Even when Shogo makes an ass out of himself.

The Sons of Samedi - Inactive

The General

Played By: Greg Eagles

• Badass in a Nice Suit
• Bald of Evil
• Disproportionate Retribution: If you steal from him, you'll lose a hand, you fail him, you'll lose an ear, you really mess up and you'll get burned alive.
• Evil Smoking: Enjoys a good cigar.
• Evil Sounds Deep
• Faux Affably Evil
• General Badass: While a Non-Action Guy, his name is The General.
• Killed Off for Real
• Non-Action Guy: Despite being the head of one of the most violent and malicious gangs ever to invade Stilwater, all he seems to do is ride around in his limo all day giving orders to his underlings. In fact, the player never actually fights him directly and his boss battle simply consists of chasing him down while his gang attacks you.
• Scary Black Man
• Wicked Cultured
• You Have Failed Me...: And for that you'll lose an ear, hand, or be burned alive.
