! [[color:purple: The 3rd Street Saints]] - '''Active'''
The 3rd Street Saints were formed to combat the more violent and destructive gangs that have risen to power in their home city of Stilwater. They succeed, but are disbanded a short time after and forced to start over from scratch in the second game. With the help of a former member turned leader they retake Stilwater once again, though with much less noble goals this time around. As their fame and power grows they slowly become celebrities and begin to lose touch with who they once were. By the third game they begin to wonder if they have become sellouts and end up in a new city under the control of a massive crime organization simply called The Syndicate. Crushing the organization, the Saints eventually won the adoration of America when they prevented a nuclear terrorist attack on Washington D.C., only to be drawn into an intergalactic war against the colossal Zin Empire.
* BadassCrew: You really don't wanna fuck with the Saints. Several people have found this out the hard way.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: Most of the other gangs recruit both men and women of several different races in fairly equal numbers, but the Saints seem to be the most diverse in each of the games. This is especially true for their lieutenants.
* EveryoneIsBi: By the fourth game, everyone will have sex with the Boss regardless of gender. [[spoiler: Except Vice President Keith David. And the Boss only wants Ben King's autograph.]]
* FleurDeLis: Their symbol.

By the end of the third game they may have [[spoiler:complete control over a city-state that is separate from the rest of the nation and able to openly challenge the US government.]] By the time the 4th game rolls around, the Boss is ''President of the United States''.
* LightIsNotGood: Despite calling themselves the Saints they are anything but. They did have noble goals in the beginning, but that was quickly replaced with a lust for power.
* {{Mascot}}: The third game features several Saints mascots roaming the city alongside the "normal" mascots. The player can even unlock mascot gang customization for an entire army of Saints mascots.
* NotSoDifferent: From the Vice Kings. The only real difference between them is that the Saints wear purple instead of yellow and ended up being far more successful.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Ever since they reformed in the second game with the Boss as their leader they've only gotten stronger as the series went on.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Applies to all games in the series, but the third and ESPECIALLY the fourth are the best examples. Over the years the gang has had a stoner chick who sleeps with everyone to gain information, an old pimp who speaks only in autotune, a luchador seeking to regain his honor and mask, a cloned russian super soldier, and even an alien robot rescued from a virtual simulation, to name just a few of the members.

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.]]

* NecessarilyEvil
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He looks like Creator/SamuelLJackson.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Julius originally wanted the gang colour to be green. During the development of the first game, the developers originally planned for the Saints to have green as their colour. But due to the release of a ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'' trailer which featured a gang in green and not wanting comparisons to be made, the devs changed it to [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]].

The Saints second in command after Boss from the second game onwards. If there is one thing Johnny is good at, its racking up a massive body count of rival gang members and law enforcement officers. So long as he has something to blow up or fill full of lead he'll be happy. In the second game its revealed that [[spoiler:he married (or is at least living with) his long time girlfriend Aisha, who tragically dies at the hands of a Ronin enforcer during an ambush.]] In the third game he is still badass despite the easy life the Saints have had since taking over Stillwater. Unfortunately, he finally meets his end during the second mission of the third game when cornered by the Morning Star and gunned down...
Or so we're lead to believe, afterall, DeathIsCheap. As it turns out he survived by [[spoiler:using a Morning Star guard as a human shield against Loren's machine gun, knocking the arms dealer unconscious immediately after]]. Observing the battle, Zinyak, the big bad of the 4th game, abducted Johnny for fear of being one of the only humans able to stop him. Locked away in a simulation on his ship where he constantly relived Aishia's death, the Boss eventually rescued him from his digital nightmare in time to fight the final battle against the Zin.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Aisha did.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: "387 counts of murder, and one count of attempted murder".
* ArtisticLicenseLaw: He claims the above count should be lower, what with the statute of limitations. The judge hearing his case immediately points out that there isn't a statute of limitations on murder.
* {{Badass}}: To the point where [[spoiler:Zinyak kidnapped him years before staging his invasion of Earth,]] identifying Johnny as the most dangerous person on Earth. Needless to say, the Boss is flabbergasted at being overlooked.
** Even more incredible when you realize that [[spoiler: with Zinyak's access to time travel technology, it's possible that he might have tried to invade earth without taking Johnny Gat out first, and was curbstomped so utterly that he had to go back in time and take Johnny out in hopes of evening the odds. That's right, Johnny Gat's presence alone could have been the difference between Zinyak being able to successfully invade earth, or getting his ass handed to him utterly during the invasion.]] Given that the Boss comes very close to killing Zinyak at the beginning of the game, this is not as ridiculous as you might think.
* BashBrothers: With the Boss. It gets to the point where, [[spoiler: a hysterical shit talking contest between the two ensues as they nonchalantly battle their way through hordes of Genki mascots... which they decided was a good activity for catching up on old times.]]
* BloodKnight: The guy basically lives to kill.
* BoisterousBruiser: There's a reason fans wanted their murder bro back.
* CharacterDevelopment: In Saints Row IV's loyalty mission. While at first it seems Gat is just happy to be back killing things, [[spoiler:during his loyalty mission he talks about how surviving the hell of Zinyak's torture simulation helped him overcome Aisha's death, and how he's ready to move on with his life and stop living in the past.]] Given that Gat NEVER talks about his feelings, it comes across as a big step for him.
* CoolCar: The Gatmobile. Averted in that he never drives it himself.
* CoolShades: [[spoiler: The first thing he does after his escape is retrieve them from a very unfortunate Zin.]]
* ClusterFBomb: While the game isn't short on swearing, Gat manages to find new and creative ways to insert profanity into almost every sentence.
* DeadStarWalking: In the third game, which made it even harder or people to accept that he got killed off.
* DeadpanSnarker
* {{Determinator}}: In particular, Gat is opposed to the concept that sharp, pointy objects protruding from one's body are supposed to kill.
* DyeHard: In the first and second games, he has the top of his hair dyed white blond. In all the games that come afterwards he is shown with solid black hair.
* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: Unlike Lin and Carlos, whom you need to call Eye For An Eye to unlock, you unlock Zombie Gat after completing the story line of ''The Third''. Zombie Gat also shows up in ''IV'', in [[spoiler: Shaundi's personal nightmare simulation]].
* GeniusBruiser: Though probably not a genius to the same extend as Ben King or Oleg, he proves occasionally that he's actually smarter than his sociopathic habits would imply.
* [[spoiler: HeartbrokenBadass: After Aisha's murder.]]
* HeroicComedicSociopath: 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.
* [IfItsYouItsOkay: He's back in Saints Row 4, and he can be romanced by a boss of either gender.
* {{Jerkass}}
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: He didn't so much as to lose his sense of morality after [[spoiler:it's revealed that his girlfriend, Aisha, was killed.]]
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: He gets killed in the second mission of the third game by Philippe Loren. Much to the ire of the fans. Subverted as he wasn't, was just [[HesJustHiding abducted by Zinyak...no really]].]]
* MadeOfIron: Not quite to the degree of the Boss, but it still deserves a mention.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: To every problem, for all time.
* NeverFoundTheBody[=/=]HesJustHiding: 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
** Finally got their wish in the fourth game. Heck the game practically spoils it 1/4 into the game.
*** Hell, they spoiled it in the ''trailer''. They gave it its ''own dedicated trailer and poster'' dedicated just to spoiling it. They knew damn well how much the fans wanted Gat back.
* NumberTwo: In the second incarnation of the Saints.
* OneManArmy: Second to the Boss.
* SacrificialLion: In Saints Row The Third.
* SanitySlippage: Street gossip reveals that he becomes even more violently unhinged after [[spoiler: Aisha's death.]]
* ShutUpKiss: If romanced in IV, he does this while the boss is pouring his/her heart out to him. Unlike most romances, this one manages to actually be [[CrowningMomentOfHeartWarming genuinely touching and sincere.]]
* SirSwearsALot
* SmokingIsCool: 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.
* SympatheticMurderer: Especially after [[spoiler: Aisha's death.]]
* SunglassesAtNight
* TestosteronePoisoning: [[spoiler:Even his nightmares are a murder simulation.]]
* TheDreaded: By [[spoiler:Zinyak]] of all people. At the very least, he was considered sufficient threat to his plans to warrant his immediate abduction prior to invasion.
* TheWorfEffect: He 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.
** Subverted as of Saints Row IV where it shows what happened while the Boss was escaping, [[spoiler: he takes out all of the Morning Star with ease, and Loren didn't even score a hit on him during their fight. In fact, Johnny is insulted the Boss believed Loren was capable of killing him.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: In the first game, he considers Freckle Bitch's as fine dining, and in the fourth game, Boss guessed that he's either dreaming of killing people or Freckle Bitch's.
!! Troy Bradshaw
->'''Played By:''' Michael Rappaport
An older member of the Saints who assists Julius in rescuing Playa from a Vice King in the first game. At the end of the first game [[spoiler:he is revealed to be an undercover cop and is promoted to chief of police by the time the second game rolls around. He leaves the Saints, but remains on good terms with the Boss, whom he kept on life support while he was in a coma between games.]]
* [[spoiler: BecomingTheMask]]
* CallBack: While he doesn't actually appear in the third game a police officer in the first mission will mention him. [[spoiler: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.]]
-->[[spoiler:"Troy can't bail you out of this one!"]]
* [[spoiler: DaChief]]: Let's just say he was promoted big time in the last five years.
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler: 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.]]
* [[spoiler:DirtyCop: Sets out to protect the Saints in some form even as police chief.]]
* [[spoiler: FriendlyRival]]: To the Boss in ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2''.
* MustMakeAmends: [[spoiler: 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.]]
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Paul Walker, at least in the first game.
* NumberTwo: In the first incarnation of the Saints.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: He's the reason Boss is still alive after the bombing, keeping him/her on life support all that time. He also had Gat protected in jail and after Julius' arrest tries to get him to make Gat and Boss give up the gangs rather than pursue them. He is genuinely outraged at Julius trying to kill the Boss.]]
* SmokingIsCool: Especially during the first game, where he lights his cigarette on the burning body of a tough rival gang member.
* [[spoiler: TheMole: He was a cop all along.]]
* WhiteGangBangers
!! Dexter "Dex" Jackson
->'''Played By:''' Jeffrey Allen Qaiyum
The Saints very first tactician who seems to get annoyed by the habits of some of the other Saints, such as Johnny's recklessness or Troy's incorrect grammar when talkng about Los Carnales. In the second game he [[spoiler:quits the Saints and joins Ultor. After leading both the Boss and Julius into a trap in attempt to kill them both he is forced to flee the city when the Boss begins hunting him down for revenge. He hasn't been seen since and does not appear in the third game, leaving his ultimate fate unknown.]]
* BlackBestFriend
* CulturedWarrior
* [[spoiler:CorruptCorporateExecutive]]: [[spoiler:He sells everything from nuclear weapons to toxic waste. He also betrayed the Third Street Saints when he could have warned them about Troy being an undercover police officer. Later, he tries to kill the PC and Julius Little.]]
* DeadpanSnarker
* [[spoiler:EtTuBrute: His betrayal of both the Protagonist and Julius in the final mission of the second game.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Gives Troy a "What the hell?" look after he lights a cigarette on the burning body of a gang member they had just killed.
* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn: He, alongside Julius, is the one who tried to disband the Third Street Saints by killing them.]]
* GrammarNazi: Gets annoyed at everyone for saying "[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment The Los Carnales]]", especially after he starts saying it himself.
* MrFixit
* NiceHat
* PutOnABus: Apparently the devs don't want to bring him back to not confuse new players.
* [[spoiler:ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After the Saints get busted by Troy in the first game he takes a job at Ultor. Then, in the second after the Boss messes that up for him he flees Stilwater altogether. It has yet to be confirmed if Boss ever managed to find him or if he got away.]]
* [[spoiler:SmugSnake]]
* TeenGenius: Or young adult at least. He doesn't seemed to be very old at all in the first game.
* [[spoiler:WhatHappenedToTheMouse]]: [[spoiler:The last we see of him is in a DLC mission during the second game where he flees the city with Boss swearing to hunt him down. In the third game he isn't even mentioned and its never explained if Boss is even still looking for him. In [=SR4=], his disappearance and general irrelevance to the plot is mocked in the Zin simulation world by the Boss' virtual wife. "Someone named Dex stopped by earlier. I didn't recognize him, so I just sent him away!"]]
** [[spoiler: The spin-off Saints Row Money Shot reveals that he was tracked down and assassinated by the Ultor Corporation. But since that game was cancelled, this explaination isn't considered canon. The most we know is that he probably got blown up with the Earth in the 4th game.]]
* WickedCultured
!! Lin
->'''Played By:''' Tia Carrere
A female leutenant who goes undercover in the Rollerz gang to destroy them from the inside with the help of Playa. [[spoiler:Sadly, she is found out by their leader and is trapped in the trunk of a car with Playa after being shot. While he is able to escape to exact revenge Lin either drowns or bleeds out before she can be rescued.]] Though she only had a major role in the first game she gets several mentions in both the second and third.
* ActionGirl
* BastardGirlfriend: 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.
** [[spoiler: On the other hand, one of her Audio Logs in Saints Row IV have her admit that hearing Donnie call her "My Girl" was a pleasant surprise.]]
* ContinuityNod: [[spoiler: Zombie Lin is referenced in Saints Row 2 and in The Third. Kinzie also has a photo of Lin in her HackerCave, though Pierce takes it before the boss could see it.]]
* [[spoiler: EverythingsDeaderWithZombies]]
* JokeCharacter: [[spoiler:As zombie Lin. She attacks by ripping off her own arm!]]
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
* MataHari
* ShipTease: 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.
* OneOfTheBoys
* ReverseMole
* SmokingIsCool: [[OneOfTheBoys Just like many of the male Saints.]]
* [[spoiler: TooDumbToLive: When you've been included in several high-level meetings and are the only one in there not completely trusted, perhaps you shouldn't sabotage every single one of the plans discussed?]]
** [[spoiler: One of her collectible Audio Logs in Saints Row IV have her openly admit that leaking info so often was really dumb on her part.]]
* WrenchWench: 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.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: The 3rd Street Saints - Saints Row 2]]
!! Shaundi
->'''Played By:''' ElizaDushku ([=SR2=]), Danielle Nicolet ([=SR3=] and [=SRIV=]), Jennifer Jules Hart ([=SRIV=])
[[quoteright:230:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-Shaundi_-_Render_2941.png]]
One of the Saints' lieutenants, Shaundi starts as a stoner/college dropout/hippie type who ReallyGetsAround and is [[TheStoner 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 [[spoiler: Johnny Gat is killed]]. During the events of Saints Row IV, [[spoiler:she overcomes her survivor's guilt and makes peace with her past self.]]
* AllWomenLoveShoes: This brief but humorous exchange from the first Samedi mission:
-->Shaundi: "Here, smoke this." *hands Boss a broken lightbulb filled with Loa Dust*
-->Boss: "Ever hear of a pipe?"
-->Shaundi: "Pipes cost money... money that can be used for drugs or shoes."
* ActionGirl: When the Saints are threatened she has no trouble grabbing a gun and pulling her weight, however...
** FauxActionGirl: Her getting kidnapped by [[MinionWithAnFInEvil Veteran Child]] causes the Protagonist to accuse her of being this.
*** Her personal simulation in ''Saints Row IV'' is built around her fearing she is one.
** DarkActionGirl: Much more bloodthirsty in the third game.
* BloodKnight: After [[spoiler: 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.
* BoobsOfSteel: Even after becoming an asskicker, she remains pretty buxom.
* CharacterDevelopment: 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 TookALevelInBadass, then becomes enraged over [[spoiler: Johnny's death.]] Tie in blaming herself for it, nightmares about being kidnapped and self loathing over who she was and she's a certified Woobie. After her loyalty mission she can still be snarky, but is far less angry.
* CloudCuckooLander: Sort of. She's pretty on the ball, but a little forgetful and spacey due to being constantly stoned in the early days.
* DistaffCounterpart: To Gat in the third game, minus the happy attitude. She clearly cares for him, and [[spoiler: 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 BuriedAlive when he attacked Aisha's funeral.]] They also miss their shot at taking out the BigBad (a security guard sneaks up on Gat before he can take out Vogal, and before Shaundi can kill Killbane Matt Miller makes the chopper she and Boss are on crash.)
* DistressedDamsel: In two levels. The boss actively questions her ActionGirl 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.
** She got picked up by STAG and the Boss has to sneak on board the Thermopylae to save her.
** At the ending of ''The Third'', she is kidnapped along with Viola and Burt Reynolds and tied up with them next to a bomb. [[SadisticChoice The Boss must choose between saving them, or going after Killbane and letting them die.]]
** The fourth game shows that she's very much aware of this tendency, causing her to blame herself for Johnny's death. Helping her overcome her guilt and doubt by defeating Veteran Child again gives her super powers within the Zin simulation.
* EruditeStoner: She not stupid even in Saints Row 2, explaining to Boss how the Samedi are named after the Haitian lord of the dead among other things.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Shaundi is right into fighting gangs. Random assaults on people in the street will bore her.
-->"Yeah, this isn't working for me."
** The third game reveals her anger at killing Gat, and later the attack on his funeral being, "over the fucking limit." The fourth game shows even as a spaced out drugged up hippy and getting over kidnappings and attempts on her life she thinks Maero is an asshole for killing Carlos and escalating the war against the Saints.
* [[SociopathicHero 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.
* [[spoiler: FutureMeScaresMe / IHatePastMe: [=SR3=] Shaundi thinks of her past self as a worthless load, while [=SR2=] Shaundi sees her future self as joyless and uptight.]]
* HiddenDepths: In IV [[spoiler:Fun Shaundi]] in her Homie conversation with Kinzie identifies the latter as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection projecting]] and shrugs off her surprise.
--> "Hey, I just call it as I see it."
* HotterAndSexier: She was by no means unattractive in the second game, but in the third game, she gets a FormFittingWardrobe (which even comes with a BareYourMidriff) that shows her buxom figure.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: In Saints Row IV, the simulation splits up Shaundi into her [=SR3=] self and [=SR2=] self.
* MsFanservice
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: 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.
* NewAgeRetroHippie
* NoodleIncident:
** Various comments hint at something bad happening when she visited Steelport before. It's hinted that Zimos used her as a ho.
** Mentions one with herself when you have them both as homies. Complete with FinishingEachOthersSentences.
--> '''Old Shaundi''': So do you remember that time we had at the North Pier with-
--> '''New Shaundi''': Randall and Jackie? Yeah! What he did-
--> '''Old''': With those fireworks? That was crazy, and those-
--> '''New''': Fuzzy handcuffs! I never thought he was gonna get them off that sailor.
--> '''Old''': I know! Man those were good times.
* NotAsYouKnowThem:
** 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.
** Lampshaded by Kinzie when Fun Shaundi (her SR2 personality) shows up in SR4.
** This becomes important in Saints Row IV: [[spoiler: Shaundi's loyalty mission revolves around both versions learning to get along despite their glaring differences.]]
* OneOfTheBoys: Is insulted when Boss suggests she returns to Stilwater and stay out of fighting the Syndicate.
* PetTheDog: While spending the third game being much more angry and violence-relishing than before, she makes a call seemingly to just genuinely appreciate the Boss' efforts in their fight against the Syndicate, to the Boss' slight disbelief. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, the other purpose of the call by the writers was to immediately present that she's being captured.]]
* ReallyGetsAround:
** 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.
** The Shaundi Ex-Boyfriend Intelligence Service is so well informed that it is legitimately surprising when she can't come up with information about [[spoiler: the Ultor Pyrmaid]].
** Toned down in the third game. Aside from 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 does however have a very popular reality TV show, ''I Wanna Sleep with Shaundi'', which has a predictable premise.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: 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 WhatTheHellHero when the Saints start turning into the Syndicate, rather than KillEmAll.
* SanitySlippage: Like Gat after [[spoiler: Aisha's death]] she breaks after [[spoiler: Gat's death]], becoming more angry and violent. Though instead of love it's driven by guilt.
* SelfServingMemory: After [[spoiler: 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 [[spoiler: Carlos]] or ignores his death and how Boss handled it. Which was the same way. It turns out this is due to her survivor's guilt.
* SleepsWithEveryoneButYou: The Male Voice 2 for the boss has expressed an attraction to Shaundi but she never reciprocated it in the third game. This is in spite of her ReallyGetsAround past. Her romance scene in the fourth hangs a massive lampshade over this. She teases the Boss by saying, "You never asked", which then ends with Shaundi saying they should make up for lost time, and going off to sleep together.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: Mid way through the third 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 instead of destroying them. Other options are for Boss to reassure her that they are doing what they do for Gat.
* TomboyishPonytail: Her hair in the third game.
* TookALevelInBadass: Say what you want, she did survive the last encounter with The General. She also fights on the front line against the Syndicate for the majority of Saints Row the Third.
** Her ActionGirl credentials in The Third get taken up quite a bit since [[spoiler: she turns into a female version of Gat after his assumed death]].
--> '''Shaundi''': *after taking Boss' gun and shooting two Syndicate guards in the head* Put in your tampons and let's do this!
** In the fourth game, even a program of her past party girl self becomes a badass during the course of a mission.
* TookALevelInJerkass:
** [[HeelFaceTurn Viola]] might try being nice to her. Shaundi deadly tells her not to say a word to her.
* WhiteGangBangers
* WhyDontYouMarryIt: 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.
!! 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.
* [[spoiler: DeathByDisfigurement: [[TearJerker Sadly]], he was so horribly maimed from what the Brotherhood did to him that [[MercyKill the boss had to put him out of his misery]]]].
* [[spoiler: EverythingsDeaderWithZombies]]
* JokeCharacter: [[spoiler: He can be unlocked as a zombified homie, but for whatever reason he doesn't start with a gun. Also a SecretCharacter in this capacity.]]
* [[spoiler: MauveShirt: Aside from the beginning and the very first few Brotherhood missions, he gets killed off fairly quickly and doesn't appear in any other gang's missions.]]
* [[spoiler: MercyKill: The Boss was forced to give him one when it becomes painfully clear that he wasn't going to survive his rather horrific injuries.]]
* NiceHat
* [[spoiler: NotQuiteSavedEnough: If he dies during the level in which you have to rescue him, then it's game over. But, as mentioned both above and below, he still dies after the fact.]]
* [[spoiler: SacrificialLamb: Especially if you do the Brotherhood missions first.]]
* TheHeart
* UndyingLoyalty: Remains loyal to the Saints years after they have disbanded and wears a purple hat to symbolize this. He even gets himself shanked just to get a chance to speak with the boss. (Who at this point was just an (admittedly very high ranking) former member of the gang and not its official leader yet.}
* WalkingSpoiler: Knowing too much about Carlos reveals [[spoiler: his death at the hands of the Brotherhood]].
* [[spoiler:WhatADrag]]: [[spoiler:Suffers this at the hands of the Brotherhood.]]
* YoungGun
!! Pierce Washington
->'''Played By:''' Arif S Kinchen
[[quoteright:230:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/275px-Pierce_-_Render_1211.png]]
One of the Saints' lieutenants, Pierce starts off as an efficient if rather whiny tactician [[ButtMonkey 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 ButtMonkey, 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.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Pierce has a few moments of this, especially with the Boss. For example when he hands over the air strike to the the English voiced Boss:
-->Boss: "Pierce, I could kiss you on the mouth."
-->Pierce: "Fuck right."
** Just to make things super-confusing, his romance option in Videogame/SaintsRowIV has him respond to being propositioned by the boss by saying [[IfItsYouItsOkay he's not usually into that]], no matter what gender the boss is.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Drops his old gangsta style clothes in favor of a more professional look in the third game.
* BareYourMidriff: When dressed up as Aisha in "The Trouble With Clones".
* BlackBestFriend: Shown more in The Third, with him and the Boss [[spoiler: singing "What I Got" together after reminiscing about the recently deceased Johnny Gat.]]
* ButtMonkey: 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 [[spoiler: kill Killbane. After the Boss declares Steelport a sovereign city-state, s/he offers Pierce the office of Mayor.]]
** CID calls the boss out on the way he they treat Pierce in IV.
* CallBack: The [[spoiler:outfit he wears and song he sings]] during the second mission of "The Trouble With Clones" is a call back to the first game where [[spoiler:Aisha wore the exact same clothes and sung the song (Bounce Like My Checks Did) on the radio.]]
* TheCastShowoff: His voice actor is a singer, and he has several missions where he performs a duet with the Boss.
* CatchPhrase: "Man, why you gotta be like that?"
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Mentions that he "normally doesn't swing that way" when propositioned for sex by the boss. [[StraightGay The dialogue is exactly the same if it's a Female Boss.]]
* TheLoad: Out of all the Saints Pierce probably falls into this the most. A few standout examples would be in the mission where he and Boss hijack the tank (he keeps shooting the laser at the truck carrying some gear Kinzie sent them to get) and the mission where he shows up with the airstrike weapon and has to be escorted inside by the Boss (on hardcore difficulty the Boss has a good chance of dying before he even gets to Pierce). The worst example though, is the misson "Three Way" where he and Oleg join the Boss in stopping a citywide attack from STAG and a rival gang. Oleg does fairly well by himself, but Pierce will be in need of rescue about half the time due to him mindlessly charging into hordes of enemies and tanks.
* NiceHat
* NoodleIncident: He is... less than thrilled to meet Oleg during the Saints raid on the Syndicate tower.
-->"The last time a big naked dude said he could help me it DID NOT end well..."
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: 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...
* NoRespectGuy: Mostly in the second game. By the third game he starts being taken a little more seriously.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Plays himself off like the brains of the crew, but when he's actually on the spot he's just whiny and way too obsessed with making a good impression.
** Which makes him ''perfect'' for The Boss's public relations officer in the fourth game.
* TheStrategist: Although he never gets any credit for it.
* TooCleverByHalf: He is full of zany plans.
* RousseauWasRight: In Saints Row IV, if you have him and Keith Davis as homies, Peirce will suddenly talk about how even though [[spoiler: Earth and most of humanity is now gone]], they should see this as a fresh new start for humanity, where they would go find a habitable planet and begin a new age of humanity built on freedom, justice and rights for all. Keith Davis, however believes that not only would that planet already be inhabited by sentinent beings, but [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters that we'll just repeat the same mistakes again on that new planet.]]
* WholesomeCrossdresser: [[spoiler:Poor Pierce is forced to dress up as Aisha in the "Trouble With Clones" DLC to lure out a clone of Johnny Gat so that the Saints could capture him.]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Despite starring in commercials for the product, Saints Row IV reveals that Pierce is seemingly terrified of the Saint's Flow mascot. He clarifies that he's ''actually'' terrified of the power of marketing, or more specifically, of losing control of the Saint's marketing empire. [[ItMakesSenseInContext Which takes the form of a 100 foot tall Saint's Flow mascot named Paul.]][[/folder]]
[[folder: The 3rd Street Saints - Saints Row the Third]]
!! 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.
* AwesomeButImpractical: 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.
* TheBigGuy: 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.
* CloningBlues: He serves as the genetic model for brutes and as such remained a prisoner of the Syndicate until the Saints rescue him. Apparently, he wasn't even allowed a pair of underwear.
* CulturedWarrior: In spite of what his brutish appearence might first suggest he is very intellectual and probably the most well read member of the Saints. When not killing gang bangers or wrecking cars he can commonly be found playing chess with Pierce. He is also able to quote Sun Tzu and seems to know a fair bit about history and mythology.
* FullFrontalAssault: In the first mission he appears in the Saints find him bound nude to a large machine and free him. Since they just set up a massive bomb to destroy the building they are in he decides to finish the fight completely naked. Pierce is uncomfortable from the entire situation, but Oleg simply says that the human body is nothing to be ashamed of.
* GeekyTurnOn: 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 TechnoBabble.
* GeniusBruiser: Don't let his appearance fool you... he is eloquent, 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.
* HuskyRusskie
* InexplicablyAwesome: Why is Oleg so '''[[TheBigGuy HUGE]]'''? Why is he MadeOfIron? What did he do in the Cold War? We certainly don't know.
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: In the 4th game, he didn't get abducted with the rest of the gang and was blown up along with the Earth as The Boss was trying to call him.]]
* MadeOfIron: When you first fight a clone of him, everyone is in amazement of their ridiculous hardiness and strength - Oleg states they are successful clones of his bodies but not his mind, and it's obvious in gameplay that he's no less unstoppable than them. In spite of the first reactions to his clones, just ''how'' he is titanium-made-flesh never comes up and doesn't get explained, leaving him inexplicably awesome.
* MysteriousPast: He's very tight lipped about his life before being captured by the Syndicate and being cloned, stating it would be better for your friendship if you didn't know about it. He worked for the KGB, and he's evidently seen STAG technology and the NEMO chair.
* NakedOnArrival: When you first meet him.
* NoodleIncident: Has a long standing rivalry with Burt Reynolds who he fought at some point during the Cold War.
* OneManArmy: [[spoiler:During the mission "Gang Bang" he even jumps on a VTOL and takes it out singlehandedly, allowing Boss and Viola to escape a STAG ambush.]]
* TheSpock: 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 TheMcCoy to Oleg's TheSpock when [[spoiler: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.]]
* SmartPeoplePlayChess
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Like fellow Russian giant [[StreetFighter Zangief]], Oleg can do the Pile Driver to finish off enemy Brutes.
!! Kinzie Kensington
->'''Played By:''' Natalie Lander
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-Kenzie_-_Render_9893.png]]
A former FBI intelligence agent who was kicked out after she threatened to expose Matt Miller's crimes, causing him to retaliate by destroying her reputation. She becomes the Saints' new tech expert after they rescue her from a Deckers-owned barge.
* {{Adorkable}}
* AlliterativeName
* [[spoiler:BerserkButton: If you value your limbs, you will NEVER bring up the time she got captured by the Zin and was forced to wear a poodle skirt.]]
* BrainsAndBondage: In the cut scene before rescuing Zimos from a BDSM club called Safeword she says "Mine's 'tea cup'." In the cut scene before "Learning Computer" she's shown to own a Gimp mask.
* CassandraTruth: Reveals what the Deckers fabricated to get her terminated in an off-handed manner.
--> '''Kinzie:''' "Sure, let down your guard and suddenly, they make it look like you're selling secrets to Mossad and moonlighting as a dominatrix."
** No one in the Saints takes any of warnings about an alien invasion seriously. Guess what happens in ''Saints Row IV?''
* CleavageWindow: Her superpower suit has one.
* CovertPervert: 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.
** She surprises herself about this during the DancePartyEnding to IV -- giving an awkward few steps upon realizing it's her turn to dance, before giving an incredibly sexy dance crawl, and then [[OhCrap realizing she just did that in front of everyone.]]
** And during the time travel montage, she puts herself as Lady Godiva, and MarilynMonroe during the famous skirt blowing scene.
* DeusExMachina: Discussed and defied.
--> '''Kinzie''' I'm not a Deus ex machina, you know!
* DuelingHackers: With Matt Miller during some of the Deckers missions.
* FBIAgent: She used to be one. The Deckers getting her fired and kidnapping her is what causes her to join the Saints as their hacker once they rescue her.
* FieryRedhead: Especially in ''IV''.
* GeniusSlob: If you have her and [[spoiler: Viola]] as homies at the same time it's revealed that Kinzie doesn't ''know how to'' wash her hair.
* HackerCave: Her warehouse crib is set up as this. [[spoiler:She is ''not'' happy when she finds out the Zin have removed her setup in the simulation of Steelport.]]
* HeroesWantRedheads: In the ShowWithinAShow ''Gangstas in Space'', she plays Cornell, the MissionControl and LoveInterest for the hero (played by the Boss).
* HiddenDepths: During a late Deckers mission the Boss asks her what genre of music she likes while they drive to a Deckers stronghold. Her answer? [[spoiler:Hardcore gangsta rap.]] Boss is completely shocked.
-->"Seriously?"
* {{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. [[spoiler: 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"...
* HollywoodNerd: For a computer geek, she's quite the looker.
* HotterAndSexier: Her super suit in 4 is a skin tight leather or PVC catsuit with a CleavageWindow, a big change from her very modest cardigan and trousers.
* HypocriticalHumor: In the fourth game after busting The Boss free from his virtual prison, she answers his complaints about wanting to change clothes as not important. [[spoiler: When she gets stuck in the same 50's simulation and is broken free, she instantly tells The Boss not to tell anyone about it and punches him when he/she jokes she looked cute in the poodle dress.]]
* InTheHood: Her super suit.
* IWarnedYou[=/=]IKnewIt: At the start of VideoGame/SaintsRowIV, it's mentioned that she's been saying that an AlienInvasion is coming. Her reaction to it happening is the former, but she says the latter.
* LampshadeHanging: Will call out Zimos' inconsistent use of his microphone staff when the two are called as Homies together.
* {{Meganekko}}.
** TheGlassesGottaGo: Super Kinzie in Saints Row 4 doesn't wear glasses.
* MissionControl: Shares this role with Matt for the majority of the fourth game, though she can be called into the simulation as a homie at any time.
* NoSocialSkills: Have a listen to a homie conversation between her and someone else in ''The Third''. '''Any of them'''. Toned down by ''IV''.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Given her backstory as a former FBI agent, she would have to be in her mid-20's at least, but looks as though she's still a teenager.
* PlayfulHacker
* ProperlyParanoid: 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.
* [[HeKnowsTooMuch She Knows Too Much]]: Actually ''knows'' the Boss's name. All the Boss can do is tell her to keep it to herself.
* SlapSlapKiss: If you romance her in VideoGame/SaintsRowIV. Appropriate, given her interest in BDSM.
-->'''The Boss''': [[DoYouWantToCopulate Hey Kinzie, wanna fuck?]]
-->'''Kinzie''': Let's go! *Punches the Boss across the face before leaping into his/her arms*
* RoomFullOfCrazy: Kinzie's room in her lair is full of newspaper clippings of sightings of [[spoiler:Zombie Lin]] and aliens. There is also a lot of Ultor related stuff.
* TechnoBabble: 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 LaymansTerms, she'll lapse back into this [[MotorMouth in no time flat]].
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Matt in the 4th game.
* [[spoiler:ThreeMinutesOfWrithing: Her dance in the DancePartyEnding from ''IV''.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: In IV, where she delivers a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on [[spoiler: Cyrus Temple]] after gaining superpowers and even ''punches the Boss''.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In IV she goes from being occasionally rude and mouthy to outright disrespecting and hitting the Boss when they provoke her. Justified since the Saints lose [[spoiler:Oleg]] and gain [[spoiler:Matt]] at the beginning of that game.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In the debut trailer, she's seen typing away on a keyboard while the Boss and [[NeverTrustATrailer Johnny]] get into a firefight. Her only response is to shake her head and continue typing.
* WhatTheHellHero: In her first audio log in IV, she calls out the Saints for their [[EasilyForgiven Easy Forgiveness]] of [[spoiler:Matt Miller]], citing how he [[spoiler:destroyed her personal and professional life]] when she was an FBI agent.
** [[spoiler: Calls out the Boss for taking the crew for granted in the 4th game when he learns Gat is alive.]]
*** Doubles as a CMOA for her because [[spoiler: she is the first person to ever make the Boss '''''apologize'''''.]]
!! Angel De La Muerte
->'''Played By:''' Wrestling/HulkHogan
A former luchadore who was once part of the Pale Horsemen tag-team with Killbane. The two formed the Luchadores gang, but [[spoiler: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.]]
* ActorAllusion: If you have Angel as a homie, he'll sometimes yell, "[[NewWorldOrder We're taking over!]]"
** Hogan's signature taunt is available in the game as "Angelmania"; rather appropriately, once you [[spoiler:get Angel his mask back]] it's the first thing he does.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome
* [[spoiler:FakeUltimateHero]]: [[spoiler:For the entire game he is built up as a complete badass on par with people like Johnny Gat and the Boss, with losing to Killbane being his only failure in life. He even puts the Boss through TrainingFromHell to toughen him up for their upcoming match against Killbane. When he finally gets a chance to fight, however, Killbane kicks his ass, throws him from the ring, and has to be defeated by the Boss alone. If it weren't for his entire gang holding him back after his loss, Killbane probably would have rushed back out and finished Angel off when he started taunting him.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: The luchador code demands unmasking Killbane in the ring instead of simply killing him, dspite how many problems that would solve. [[spoiler:Oh, no wait... Angel says you DO have to kill Killbane after all. Hope you don't mind losing Shaundi, Viola, and Burt to do so.]]
* InTheHood: Likely used to hide his face after he was [[spoiler:publicly de-masked in the ring and went into hiding.]]
* [[spoiler:TheLoad]]: [[spoiler:Ultimately, his only contribution to the Saints was to waste the Boss' time.]]
* MaskedLuchador: Though he spends most of the game without his mask and only feels worthy of reclaiming it near the end of the game.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "The Angel Of Death."
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Despite being obviously Hispanic, Hogan makes no attempt to put any accent in his voice.
** Double points for irony, Hulk Hogan ''is'' Hispanic.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: 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 BloodKnight.
* TrainingFromHell: 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.
** The first of these activities is called 'Insurance Fraud'... and you're told to go get hit by cars until you've racked up a certain amount of lawsuit value. The harder you're hit, the more it's worth. So, you go play in traffic hoping to get hit by a semi and dragged underneath it...
** As a homie he also offers to teach Josh Birk when he asks for training. How? By getting him to punch bee hives...
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He is not mentioned in IV, though it is likely [[spoiler: he was killed when Earth was destroyed]].
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: 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.
* AffablyEvil: Is among the more open and friendly members of the Saints.
* AutoTune: His mechanical larynx has this installed in it.
* BadassGrandpa: He doesn't seem like much when you first meet him, but he manages to hold his own in all of the missions he appears in and protects the girls Boss saves from a Morning Star sex slave ring.
* BenevolentBoss: Well, about as much as a pimp can be. He definitely treats his girls better than the Morningstar.
** When he finds out a local mechanic is physically abusing his girls he tasks the boss with killing him in one of the hitman side missions.
** He also allowed his girls to unionize. Volition really tried to make a procurer as sympathetic as possible.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome
* DirtyOldMan: 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.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Several of his missions involve rescuing prostitutes from the Morningstar... to ''provide them with better working conditions.''
** When he shows up in IV's ''Enter The Dominatrix'' DLC, The Boss is currently [[ItMakesSenseInContext undercover at a BDSM club and is unknowingly sent to pleasure Zimos]], Zimos is disgusted at the idea (liking it to fucking a cousin) and just tells the person in charge that you did the deed.
* PetTheDog: During the raid on Morning Star's BDSM club he'll tell the Boss to free the girls trapped in the cages (which the player can do or not) and gets upset if the Boss shoots them once they are free. See also BenevolentBoss above.
* PimpDuds: Including a gold walking cane shaped like the top half of a mic stand, with the microphone grip functioning as his mechanical larynx.
* NakedOnArrival: 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.
* NiceHat: Boss can get one just like it... if the player is willing to drop a few dollars on a DLC pack, that is.
* SmokingIsCool: To the extent that when it destroyed his voice he simply had [[RefugeInAudacity auto-tune installed in his mic-shaped pimp cane.]]
* SunglassesAtNight
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In part IV, the President isn't sure what happened to him. [[spoiler: He most likely was killed when Earth blew up]].
** [[spoiler: He shows up in ''Enter the Dominatrix'' and becomes a homie afterwards, but considering the bizzare nature of the dlc, it's hard to say if that means he's alive in a simulation somewhere in the canon storyline.]]
* [[WhatTheHellHero What The Hell, Anti-Hero?]]: He'll call the Boss out for shooting the girls they free during the raid on a Morning Star sex slave ring, even if it was an accident.
* [[spoiler: [[WomanScorned Women Scorned]]: The reason he found himself in a ponyshow is because he slept with one of the [=DeWynter=] sisters...Then forgot which one.]]

[[folder: The 3rd Street Saints - Saints Row IV]]
!! Creator/KeithDavid
The legendary actor and Vice-President of the United States, which makes him the second in command after the Boss.
* AllMenArePerverts: He can be seen reading a girly magazine (With a topless Shaundi on the cover no less!) at several times while chilling out on the Saint's spaceship. However, he's the only character that cannot be romanced, claiming that he'd rather keep the relationship professional.
* AsHimself: Which is interesting since he already gave his voice to another in-game character: Julius Little.
* BadAss: Its KeithDavid, so yeah, this is to be expected.
** BadassCape: As part of his superpowered outfit.
** BadassBaritone: A given.
* [[spoiler: HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Sells the boss out to Zinyak because he claimed he could restore the Earth, being the new president was just an extra. Ultimately he can't go through with it when he sees the boss receiving a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from Zin soldiers and shoots them, earning back the Boss' trust.]]
* InkSuitActor: Natch.
* NotSoDifferent: He insists that he is nothing like Julius several times. [[spoiler:Ultimately, he turns out to be exactly like Julius... though he manages to come to his senses before its too late.]]
* [[spoiler:TalkingToHimself]]: [[spoiler:He also voiced Julius Little, the original leader of the Saints. Since the player can have both of them as homies by the end of the game...]]
** [[spoiler: The fact that he provides the voice of both Julius and...well...[[AsHimself Keith David]], is repeatedly lampshaded as multiple characters will often talk about how Keith reminds them of Julius, and vice versa]]
* [[spoiler:WellIntentionedExtremist]]: [[spoiler:He makes a deal with Zinyak to revive all the people killed on Earth when it was destroyed. The only problem? He has to betray the Saints and kill the Boss for it to happen... luckily, he quickly comes to his senses and saves the Boss from an ambush he led him into.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: We don't see him again after you free him from his simulation and he is not with the others during the final battle.]]
!! Asha Odekar
[[quoteright:280:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/280px-ashaodekarzst_3061.png]]
A new member of the Saints in the forth game, Asha Odekar is a member of MI6 and acts as a liaison for the CIA. She and her handler Matt are the first to try and warn the Boss of the Zin invasion, since no one back in England believes them. Unfortunately, neither does the Boss until it's too late.
* ActionGirl: A rare military trained badass in the Saints Row canon. She's often exasperated at the Boss' total lack of strategy and tactics.
* BeingPersonalIsntProfessional: Her reasoning for being uptight and uncaring is the feeling she has to put her personal feelings aside to complete the mission. In truth she cares deeply, but is afraid to show it lest it puts others at risk.
* [[BodyguardBabes Bodyguard Babe]]: Some of her work back on Earth [[spoiler:before it gets completely destroyed]] was this. Her loyalty mission also involves both her and the Boss guarding a VIP from assassins.
* BritsWithBattleships: Slightly tangentially given that she's a spy, MI6 is an abbreviation of Military Intelligence, Section 6.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has no problem trading quips with the Boss over his lack of subtlety.
* [[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy Masculine Girl]]: To Matt's feminine boy.
* MilitaryBrat: She mentions that the main reason she joined the military was because of her father, who instilled a strong sense of patriotism in her from a young age. Boss just thinks she saw way too many action movies as a kid, which she dismisses.
** HiddenDepths: Specifically, she dismisses the notion that one can watch "too many action movies".
* [[spoiler: MyGreatestFailure: The simulation she is rescued from exploits her fear of failure.]]
* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl:]] About on par with fun!Shaundi, she is a genuinely caring person, if standoffish and feeling a lack of respect.
* RandomSmokingScene: Happens when the Boss rescues her from her personal nightmare simulation. This being SaintsRow it gets lampshaded just like everything else:
-->Boss: *offering her a cigarette* "Do you smoke?"
-->Asha: [[CigaretteOfAnxiety "I do now."]]
* WhatTheHellHero: She gives one to the Boss during her loyalty mission if they [[spoiler:kill an InnocentBystander after falsely perceiving him as a threat.]] Whoops.
-->"Way to go, you just [[spoiler:killed the nicest man in town, you murderer!"]]
!! CID
->'''Played By:''' Michael Yurchak
An A.I. the Boss runs into while exploring Zinyak's virtual version of Steelport. He was a dissenter of Zinyak's empire, and while his physical body was killed, he managed to upload his mind into cyberspace. He agrees to help the Saints in exchange for a robot body to upload his consciousness into [[spoiler: and later a date with one of the female crew members. Background chatter from the announcers in Prof. Genki's Mind Over Matter show heavily implies that he was a king, and the last being to challenge Zinyak for his race's freedom, but ultimately failed and his mind was permanently trapped within the simulation.]]
* BrainUploading: What he did to save himself.
* BrutalHonesty: He has his moments of this... and they are usually pretty funny.
* ChivalrousPervert: He's always willing to help you out, but he's equally obsessed with sex, despite (or because of) his lack of a body.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DoYouWantToCopulate: He is extremely blunt about his desire for romance, and extremely persistent.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[{{Halo}} 343 Guilty Spark]] and [[{{Portal2}} Wheatley]].
* JokeCharacter: He can be called up at any time just like the rest of your homies, but he cannot fight at all.
* [[spoiler: MeaningfulName: Just like [[ElCidPloy a certain Spanish noble]], he was apparently a king who was also the greatest champion of his people, until Zinyak disposed of him.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He gladly helps the Boss and the rest of the Saints, but only if they do him favors or give him some sort of reward in return.
* RobotBuddy
* {{Robosexual}}: His new body is capable of sexual activity, as the romance cut scene shows. He also hooks up with Fun Shaundi in one mission (both ditching the boss to complete the mission alone).
* [[spoiler:RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething]]: [[spoiler:If he really is a king then this trope definitely applies as he was vital to the Saints in bringing down Zinyak.]]
* ShoutOut: His name is one to the FinalFantasy series, as is made clear in his banter with Benjamin King.
* TokenNonHuman
* TookALevelInBadass: Inverted, once upon a time he was another civilisations equivalent of ''Johnny Gat'' who never had anyone to rescue him. These days he's a hoverball SmartGuy

! [[color:purple: The 3rd Street Saints]] - '''Active'''
The 3rd Street Saints were formed to combat the more violent and destructive gangs that have risen to power in their home city of Stilwater. They succeed, but are disbanded a short time after and forced to start over from scratch in the second game. With the help of a former member turned leader they retake Stilwater once again, though with much less noble goals this time around. As their fame and power grows they slowly become celebrities and begin to lose touch with who they once were. By the third game they begin to wonder if they have become sellouts and end up in a new city under the control of a massive crime organization simply called The Syndicate. Crushing the organization, the Saints eventually won the adoration of America when they prevented a nuclear terrorist attack on Washington D.C., only to be drawn into an intergalactic war against the colossal Zin Empire.
* BadassCrew: You really don't wanna fuck with the Saints. Several people have found this out the hard way.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: Most of the other gangs recruit both men and women of several different races in fairly equal numbers, but the Saints seem to be the most diverse in each of the games. This is especially true for their lieutenants.
* EveryoneIsBi: By the fourth game, everyone will have sex with the Boss regardless of gender. [[spoiler: Except Vice President Keith David. And the Boss only wants Ben King's autograph.]]
* FleurDeLis: Their symbol.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: In the first game the Saints were just a tiny gang that only had control over a small part of the city while the more powerful gangs controlled about 95-99% of the rest of Stilwater. By the end of the third game they may have [[spoiler:complete control over a city-state that is separate from the rest of the nation and able to openly challenge the US government.]] By the time the 4th game rolls around, the Boss is ''President of the United States''.
* LightIsNotGood: Despite calling themselves the Saints they are anything but. They did have noble goals in the beginning, but that was quickly replaced with a lust for power.
* {{Mascot}}: The third game features several Saints mascots roaming the city alongside the "normal" mascots. The player can even unlock mascot gang customization for an entire army of Saints mascots.
* NotSoDifferent: From the Vice Kings. The only real difference between them is that the Saints wear purple instead of yellow and ended up being far more successful.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Ever since they reformed in the second game with the Boss as their leader they've only gotten stronger as the series went on.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Applies to all games in the series, but the third and ESPECIALLY the fourth are the best examples. Over the years the gang has had a stoner chick who sleeps with everyone to gain information, an old pimp who speaks only in autotune, a luchador seeking to regain his honor and mask, a cloned russian super soldier, and even an alien robot rescued from a virtual simulation, to name just a few of the members.
!! Julius Little
->'''Played By:''' Creator/KeithDavid
[[quoteright:230:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/230px-Juliussmaller_2323.png]]
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 [[spoiler: 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 MegaCorp 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]].
* AffablyEvil
* TheCaptain: In the first incarnation of the Saints.
* TheChessmaster: In short, he [[spoiler: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.]]
** [[spoiler: It's questionable how much of this is XanatosSpeedChess since Julius gives up the Saints only after he's arrested with what's implied to be rock solid evidence.]]
* [[spoiler:EtTuBrute: His betrayal of the Protagonist by trying to blow up the yacht s/he was in.]]
* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn: In the first game, assuming that the Saints were the Faces, he is a former Vice King, who owes Benjamin a favor or two.]]
** [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn: In the second game, it's revealed that was the one responsible for the explosion that nearly kill the Protagonist himself during the ending of the first game.]]
* {{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.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: [[spoiler: If you have Julius and Johnny Gat as homies together in Saints Row IV, Johnny will call out Julius for turning on the boss,allowing an undercover cop in the gang and letting Lin die. Julius will argue that Lin's death was not his fault, Johnny will then point out that Julius doesn't argue the the other two accusations.]]
* JiveTurkey
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: At the end of the second game.]]
* MakesUsEven: [[spoiler:In the second game, this is his last words to the Protagonist before the latter kills him.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: This is how he feels about having unleashed the Boss into the world. Goes to better detail in the audio logs in IV.
* NiceHat
* [[spoiler:NiceJobBreakingItHero: 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 full-on [[TheSociopath Sociopath]], who ends up killing him in revenge. Job Well done sir.]]
* NecessarilyEvil
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He looks like Creator/SamuelLJackson.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Julius originally wanted the gang colour to be green. During the development of the first game, the developers originally planned for the Saints to have green as their colour. But due to the release of a ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'' trailer which featured a gang in green and not wanting comparisons to be made, the devs changed it to [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]].
* ScaryBlackMan
* WellIntentionedExtremist: 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
[[quoteright:212:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/212px-johnny_-_the_third_5059.png]]
The Saints second in command after Boss from the second game onwards. If there is one thing Johnny is good at, its racking up a massive body count of rival gang members and law enforcement officers. So long as he has something to blow up or fill full of lead he'll be happy. In the second game its revealed that [[spoiler:he married (or is at least living with) his long time girlfriend Aisha, who tragically dies at the hands of a Ronin enforcer during an ambush.]] In the third game he is still badass despite the easy life the Saints have had since taking over Stillwater. Unfortunately, he finally meets his end during the second mission of the third game when cornered by the Morning Star and gunned down...
Or so we're lead to believe, afterall, DeathIsCheap. As it turns out he survived by [[spoiler:using a Morning Star guard as a human shield against Loren's machine gun, knocking the arms dealer unconscious immediately after]]. Observing the battle, Zinyak, the big bad of the 4th game, abducted Johnny for fear of being one of the only humans able to stop him. Locked away in a simulation on his ship where he constantly relived Aishia's death, the Boss eventually rescued him from his digital nightmare in time to fight the final battle against the Zin.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Aisha did.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: "387 counts of murder, and one count of attempted murder".
* ArtisticLicenseLaw: He claims the above count should be lower, what with the statute of limitations. The judge hearing his case immediately points out that there isn't a statute of limitations on murder.
* {{Badass}}: To the point where [[spoiler:Zinyak kidnapped him years before staging his invasion of Earth,]] identifying Johnny as the most dangerous person on Earth. Needless to say, the Boss is flabbergasted at being overlooked.
** Even more incredible when you realize that [[spoiler: with Zinyak's access to time travel technology, it's possible that he might have tried to invade earth without taking Johnny Gat out first, and was curbstomped so utterly that he had to go back in time and take Johnny out in hopes of evening the odds. That's right, Johnny Gat's presence alone could have been the difference between Zinyak being able to successfully invade earth, or getting his ass handed to him utterly during the invasion.]] Given that the Boss comes very close to killing Zinyak at the beginning of the game, this is not as ridiculous as you might think.
* BashBrothers: With the Boss. It gets to the point where, [[spoiler: a hysterical shit talking contest between the two ensues as they nonchalantly battle their way through hordes of Genki mascots... which they decided was a good activity for catching up on old times.]]
* BloodKnight: The guy basically lives to kill.
* BoisterousBruiser: There's a reason fans wanted their murder bro back.
* CharacterDevelopment: In Saints Row IV's loyalty mission. While at first it seems Gat is just happy to be back killing things, [[spoiler:during his loyalty mission he talks about how surviving the hell of Zinyak's torture simulation helped him overcome Aisha's death, and how he's ready to move on with his life and stop living in the past.]] Given that Gat NEVER talks about his feelings, it comes across as a big step for him.
* CoolCar: The Gatmobile. Averted in that he never drives it himself.
* CoolShades: [[spoiler: The first thing he does after his escape is retrieve them from a very unfortunate Zin.]]
* ClusterFBomb: While the game isn't short on swearing, Gat manages to find new and creative ways to insert profanity into almost every sentence.
* DeadStarWalking: In the third game, which made it even harder or people to accept that he got killed off.
* DeadpanSnarker
* {{Determinator}}: In particular, Gat is opposed to the concept that sharp, pointy objects protruding from one's body are supposed to kill.
* DyeHard: In the first and second games, he has the top of his hair dyed white blond. In all the games that come afterwards he is shown with solid black hair.
* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: Unlike Lin and Carlos, whom you need to call Eye For An Eye to unlock, you unlock Zombie Gat after completing the story line of ''The Third''. Zombie Gat also shows up in ''IV'', in [[spoiler: Shaundi's personal nightmare simulation]].
* GeniusBruiser: Though probably not a genius to the same extend as Ben King or Oleg, he proves occasionally that he's actually smarter than his sociopathic habits would imply.
* [[spoiler: HeartbrokenBadass: After Aisha's murder.]]
* HeroicComedicSociopath: 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.
* [IfItsYouItsOkay: He's back in Saints Row 4, and he can be romanced by a boss of either gender.
* {{Jerkass}}
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: He didn't so much as to lose his sense of morality after [[spoiler:it's revealed that his girlfriend, Aisha, was killed.]]
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: He gets killed in the second mission of the third game by Philippe Loren. Much to the ire of the fans. Subverted as he wasn't, was just [[HesJustHiding abducted by Zinyak...no really]].]]
* MadeOfIron: Not quite to the degree of the Boss, but it still deserves a mention.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: To every problem, for all time.
* NeverFoundTheBody[=/=]HesJustHiding: 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
** Finally got their wish in the fourth game. Heck the game practically spoils it 1/4 into the game.
*** Hell, they spoiled it in the ''trailer''. They gave it its ''own dedicated trailer and poster'' dedicated just to spoiling it. They knew damn well how much the fans wanted Gat back.
* NumberTwo: In the second incarnation of the Saints.
* OneManArmy: Second to the Boss.
* SacrificialLion: In Saints Row The Third.
* SanitySlippage: Street gossip reveals that he becomes even more violently unhinged after [[spoiler: Aisha's death.]]
* ShutUpKiss: If romanced in IV, he does this while the boss is pouring his/her heart out to him. Unlike most romances, this one manages to actually be [[CrowningMomentOfHeartWarming genuinely touching and sincere.]]
* SirSwearsALot
* SmokingIsCool: 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.
* SympatheticMurderer: Especially after [[spoiler: Aisha's death.]]
* SunglassesAtNight
* TestosteronePoisoning: [[spoiler:Even his nightmares are a murder simulation.]]
* TheDreaded: By [[spoiler:Zinyak]] of all people. At the very least, he was considered sufficient threat to his plans to warrant his immediate abduction prior to invasion.
* TheWorfEffect: He 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.
** Subverted as of Saints Row IV where it shows what happened while the Boss was escaping, [[spoiler: he takes out all of the Morning Star with ease, and Loren didn't even score a hit on him during their fight. In fact, Johnny is insulted the Boss believed Loren was capable of killing him.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: In the first game, he considers Freckle Bitch's as fine dining, and in the fourth game, Boss guessed that he's either dreaming of killing people or Freckle Bitch's.
!! Troy Bradshaw
->'''Played By:''' Michael Rappaport
An older member of the Saints who assists Julius in rescuing Playa from a Vice King in the first game. At the end of the first game [[spoiler:he is revealed to be an undercover cop and is promoted to chief of police by the time the second game rolls around. He leaves the Saints, but remains on good terms with the Boss, whom he kept on life support while he was in a coma between games.]]
* [[spoiler: BecomingTheMask]]
* CallBack: While he doesn't actually appear in the third game a police officer in the first mission will mention him. [[spoiler: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.]]
-->[[spoiler:"Troy can't bail you out of this one!"]]
* [[spoiler: DaChief]]: Let's just say he was promoted big time in the last five years.
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler: 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.]]
* [[spoiler:DirtyCop: Sets out to protect the Saints in some form even as police chief.]]
* [[spoiler: FriendlyRival]]: To the Boss in ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2''.
* MustMakeAmends: [[spoiler: 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.]]
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Paul Walker, at least in the first game.
* NumberTwo: In the first incarnation of the Saints.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: He's the reason Boss is still alive after the bombing, keeping him/her on life support all that time. He also had Gat protected in jail and after Julius' arrest tries to get him to make Gat and Boss give up the gangs rather than pursue them. He is genuinely outraged at Julius trying to kill the Boss.]]
* SmokingIsCool: Especially during the first game, where he lights his cigarette on the burning body of a tough rival gang member.
* [[spoiler: TheMole: He was a cop all along.]]
* WhiteGangBangers
!! Dexter "Dex" Jackson
->'''Played By:''' Jeffrey Allen Qaiyum
The Saints very first tactician who seems to get annoyed by the habits of some of the other Saints, such as Johnny's recklessness or Troy's incorrect grammar when talkng about Los Carnales. In the second game he [[spoiler:quits the Saints and joins Ultor. After leading both the Boss and Julius into a trap in attempt to kill them both he is forced to flee the city when the Boss begins hunting him down for revenge. He hasn't been seen since and does not appear in the third game, leaving his ultimate fate unknown.]]
* BlackBestFriend
* CulturedWarrior
* [[spoiler:CorruptCorporateExecutive]]: [[spoiler:He sells everything from nuclear weapons to toxic waste. He also betrayed the Third Street Saints when he could have warned them about Troy being an undercover police officer. Later, he tries to kill the PC and Julius Little.]]
* DeadpanSnarker
* [[spoiler:EtTuBrute: His betrayal of both the Protagonist and Julius in the final mission of the second game.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Gives Troy a "What the hell?" look after he lights a cigarette on the burning body of a gang member they had just killed.
* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn: He, alongside Julius, is the one who tried to disband the Third Street Saints by killing them.]]
* GrammarNazi: Gets annoyed at everyone for saying "[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment The Los Carnales]]", especially after he starts saying it himself.
* MrFixit
* NiceHat
* PutOnABus: Apparently the devs don't want to bring him back to not confuse new players.
* [[spoiler:ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After the Saints get busted by Troy in the first game he takes a job at Ultor. Then, in the second after the Boss messes that up for him he flees Stilwater altogether. It has yet to be confirmed if Boss ever managed to find him or if he got away.]]
* [[spoiler:SmugSnake]]
* TeenGenius: Or young adult at least. He doesn't seemed to be very old at all in the first game.
* [[spoiler:WhatHappenedToTheMouse]]: [[spoiler:The last we see of him is in a DLC mission during the second game where he flees the city with Boss swearing to hunt him down. In the third game he isn't even mentioned and its never explained if Boss is even still looking for him. In [=SR4=], his disappearance and general irrelevance to the plot is mocked in the Zin simulation world by the Boss' virtual wife. "Someone named Dex stopped by earlier. I didn't recognize him, so I just sent him away!"]]
** [[spoiler: The spin-off Saints Row Money Shot reveals that he was tracked down and assassinated by the Ultor Corporation. But since that game was cancelled, this explaination isn't considered canon. The most we know is that he probably got blown up with the Earth in the 4th game.]]
* WickedCultured
!! Lin
->'''Played By:''' Tia Carrere
A female leutenant who goes undercover in the Rollerz gang to destroy them from the inside with the help of Playa. [[spoiler:Sadly, she is found out by their leader and is trapped in the trunk of a car with Playa after being shot. While he is able to escape to exact revenge Lin either drowns or bleeds out before she can be rescued.]] Though she only had a major role in the first game she gets several mentions in both the second and third.
* ActionGirl
* BastardGirlfriend: 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.
** [[spoiler: On the other hand, one of her Audio Logs in Saints Row IV have her admit that hearing Donnie call her "My Girl" was a pleasant surprise.]]
* ContinuityNod: [[spoiler: Zombie Lin is referenced in Saints Row 2 and in The Third. Kinzie also has a photo of Lin in her HackerCave, though Pierce takes it before the boss could see it.]]
* [[spoiler: EverythingsDeaderWithZombies]]
* JokeCharacter: [[spoiler:As zombie Lin. She attacks by ripping off her own arm!]]
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
* MataHari
* ShipTease: 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.
* OneOfTheBoys
* ReverseMole
* SmokingIsCool: [[OneOfTheBoys Just like many of the male Saints.]]
* [[spoiler: TooDumbToLive: When you've been included in several high-level meetings and are the only one in there not completely trusted, perhaps you shouldn't sabotage every single one of the plans discussed?]]
** [[spoiler: One of her collectible Audio Logs in Saints Row IV have her openly admit that leaking info so often was really dumb on her part.]]
* WrenchWench: 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.

[[folder: The 3rd Street Saints - Saints Row 2]]
!! Shaundi
->'''Played By:''' ElizaDushku ([=SR2=]), Danielle Nicolet ([=SR3=] and [=SRIV=]), Jennifer Jules Hart ([=SRIV=])
[[quoteright:230:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-Shaundi_-_Render_2941.png]]
One of the Saints' lieutenants, Shaundi starts as a stoner/college dropout/hippie type who ReallyGetsAround and is [[TheStoner 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 [[spoiler: Johnny Gat is killed]]. During the events of Saints Row IV, [[spoiler:she overcomes her survivor's guilt and makes peace with her past self.]]
* AllWomenLoveShoes: This brief but humorous exchange from the first Samedi mission:
-->Shaundi: "Here, smoke this." *hands Boss a broken lightbulb filled with Loa Dust*
-->Boss: "Ever hear of a pipe?"
-->Shaundi: "Pipes cost money... money that can be used for drugs or shoes."
* ActionGirl: When the Saints are threatened she has no trouble grabbing a gun and pulling her weight, however...
** FauxActionGirl: Her getting kidnapped by [[MinionWithAnFInEvil Veteran Child]] causes the Protagonist to accuse her of being this.
*** Her personal simulation in ''Saints Row IV'' is built around her fearing she is one.
** DarkActionGirl: Much more bloodthirsty in the third game.
* BloodKnight: After [[spoiler: 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.
* BoobsOfSteel: Even after becoming an asskicker, she remains pretty buxom.
* CharacterDevelopment: 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 TookALevelInBadass, then becomes enraged over [[spoiler: Johnny's death.]] Tie in blaming herself for it, nightmares about being kidnapped and self loathing over who she was and she's a certified Woobie. After her loyalty mission she can still be snarky, but is far less angry.
* CloudCuckooLander: Sort of. She's pretty on the ball, but a little forgetful and spacey due to being constantly stoned in the early days.
* DistaffCounterpart: To Gat in the third game, minus the happy attitude. She clearly cares for him, and [[spoiler: 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 BuriedAlive when he attacked Aisha's funeral.]] They also miss their shot at taking out the BigBad (a security guard sneaks up on Gat before he can take out Vogal, and before Shaundi can kill Killbane Matt Miller makes the chopper she and Boss are on crash.)
* DistressedDamsel: In two levels. The boss actively questions her ActionGirl 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.
** She got picked up by STAG and the Boss has to sneak on board the Thermopylae to save her.
** At the ending of ''The Third'', she is kidnapped along with Viola and Burt Reynolds and tied up with them next to a bomb. [[SadisticChoice The Boss must choose between saving them, or going after Killbane and letting them die.]]
** The fourth game shows that she's very much aware of this tendency, causing her to blame herself for Johnny's death. Helping her overcome her guilt and doubt by defeating Veteran Child again gives her super powers within the Zin simulation.
* EruditeStoner: She not stupid even in Saints Row 2, explaining to Boss how the Samedi are named after the Haitian lord of the dead among other things.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Shaundi is right into fighting gangs. Random assaults on people in the street will bore her.
-->"Yeah, this isn't working for me."
** The third game reveals her anger at killing Gat, and later the attack on his funeral being, "over the fucking limit." The fourth game shows even as a spaced out drugged up hippy and getting over kidnappings and attempts on her life she thinks Maero is an asshole for killing Carlos and escalating the war against the Saints.
* [[SociopathicHero 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.
* [[spoiler: FutureMeScaresMe / IHatePastMe: [=SR3=] Shaundi thinks of her past self as a worthless load, while [=SR2=] Shaundi sees her future self as joyless and uptight.]]
* HiddenDepths: In IV [[spoiler:Fun Shaundi]] in her Homie conversation with Kinzie identifies the latter as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection projecting]] and shrugs off her surprise.
--> "Hey, I just call it as I see it."
* HotterAndSexier: She was by no means unattractive in the second game, but in the third game, she gets a FormFittingWardrobe (which even comes with a BareYourMidriff) that shows her buxom figure.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: In Saints Row IV, the simulation splits up Shaundi into her [=SR3=] self and [=SR2=] self.
* MsFanservice
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: 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.
* NewAgeRetroHippie
* NoodleIncident:
** Various comments hint at something bad happening when she visited Steelport before. It's hinted that Zimos used her as a ho.
** Mentions one with herself when you have them both as homies. Complete with FinishingEachOthersSentences.
--> '''Old Shaundi''': So do you remember that time we had at the North Pier with-
--> '''New Shaundi''': Randall and Jackie? Yeah! What he did-
--> '''Old''': With those fireworks? That was crazy, and those-
--> '''New''': Fuzzy handcuffs! I never thought he was gonna get them off that sailor.
--> '''Old''': I know! Man those were good times.
* NotAsYouKnowThem:
** 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.
** Lampshaded by Kinzie when Fun Shaundi (her SR2 personality) shows up in SR4.
** This becomes important in Saints Row IV: [[spoiler: Shaundi's loyalty mission revolves around both versions learning to get along despite their glaring differences.]]
* OneOfTheBoys: Is insulted when Boss suggests she returns to Stilwater and stay out of fighting the Syndicate.
* PetTheDog: While spending the third game being much more angry and violence-relishing than before, she makes a call seemingly to just genuinely appreciate the Boss' efforts in their fight against the Syndicate, to the Boss' slight disbelief. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, the other purpose of the call by the writers was to immediately present that she's being captured.]]
* ReallyGetsAround:
** 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.
** The Shaundi Ex-Boyfriend Intelligence Service is so well informed that it is legitimately surprising when she can't come up with information about [[spoiler: the Ultor Pyrmaid]].
** Toned down in the third game. Aside from 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 does however have a very popular reality TV show, ''I Wanna Sleep with Shaundi'', which has a predictable premise.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: 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 WhatTheHellHero when the Saints start turning into the Syndicate, rather than KillEmAll.
* SanitySlippage: Like Gat after [[spoiler: Aisha's death]] she breaks after [[spoiler: Gat's death]], becoming more angry and violent. Though instead of love it's driven by guilt.
* SelfServingMemory: After [[spoiler: 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 [[spoiler: Carlos]] or ignores his death and how Boss handled it. Which was the same way. It turns out this is due to her survivor's guilt.
* SleepsWithEveryoneButYou: The Male Voice 2 for the boss has expressed an attraction to Shaundi but she never reciprocated it in the third game. This is in spite of her ReallyGetsAround past. Her romance scene in the fourth hangs a massive lampshade over this. She teases the Boss by saying, "You never asked", which then ends with Shaundi saying they should make up for lost time, and going off to sleep together.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: Mid way through the third 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 instead of destroying them. Other options are for Boss to reassure her that they are doing what they do for Gat.
* TomboyishPonytail: Her hair in the third game.
* TookALevelInBadass: Say what you want, she did survive the last encounter with The General. She also fights on the front line against the Syndicate for the majority of Saints Row the Third.
** Her ActionGirl credentials in The Third get taken up quite a bit since [[spoiler: she turns into a female version of Gat after his assumed death]].
--> '''Shaundi''': *after taking Boss' gun and shooting two Syndicate guards in the head* Put in your tampons and let's do this!
** In the fourth game, even a program of her past party girl self becomes a badass during the course of a mission.
* TookALevelInJerkass:
** [[HeelFaceTurn Viola]] might try being nice to her. Shaundi deadly tells her not to say a word to her.
* WhiteGangBangers
* WhyDontYouMarryIt: 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.
!! 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.
* [[spoiler: DeathByDisfigurement: [[TearJerker Sadly]], he was so horribly maimed from what the Brotherhood did to him that [[MercyKill the boss had to put him out of his misery]]]].
* [[spoiler: EverythingsDeaderWithZombies]]
* JokeCharacter: [[spoiler: He can be unlocked as a zombified homie, but for whatever reason he doesn't start with a gun. Also a SecretCharacter in this capacity.]]
* [[spoiler: MauveShirt: Aside from the beginning and the very first few Brotherhood missions, he gets killed off fairly quickly and doesn't appear in any other gang's missions.]]
* [[spoiler: MercyKill: The Boss was forced to give him one when it becomes painfully clear that he wasn't going to survive his rather horrific injuries.]]
* NiceHat
* [[spoiler: NotQuiteSavedEnough: If he dies during the level in which you have to rescue him, then it's game over. But, as mentioned both above and below, he still dies after the fact.]]
* [[spoiler: SacrificialLamb: Especially if you do the Brotherhood missions first.]]
* TheHeart
* UndyingLoyalty: Remains loyal to the Saints years after they have disbanded and wears a purple hat to symbolize this. He even gets himself shanked just to get a chance to speak with the boss. (Who at this point was just an (admittedly very high ranking) former member of the gang and not its official leader yet.}
* WalkingSpoiler: Knowing too much about Carlos reveals [[spoiler: his death at the hands of the Brotherhood]].
* [[spoiler:WhatADrag]]: [[spoiler:Suffers this at the hands of the Brotherhood.]]
* YoungGun
!! Pierce Washington
->'''Played By:''' Arif S Kinchen
[[quoteright:230:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/275px-Pierce_-_Render_1211.png]]
One of the Saints' lieutenants, Pierce starts off as an efficient if rather whiny tactician [[ButtMonkey 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 ButtMonkey, 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.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Pierce has a few moments of this, especially with the Boss. For example when he hands over the air strike to the the English voiced Boss:
-->Boss: "Pierce, I could kiss you on the mouth."
-->Pierce: "Fuck right."
** Just to make things super-confusing, his romance option in Videogame/SaintsRowIV has him respond to being propositioned by the boss by saying [[IfItsYouItsOkay he's not usually into that]], no matter what gender the boss is.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Drops his old gangsta style clothes in favor of a more professional look in the third game.
* BareYourMidriff: When dressed up as Aisha in "The Trouble With Clones".
* BlackBestFriend: Shown more in The Third, with him and the Boss [[spoiler: singing "What I Got" together after reminiscing about the recently deceased Johnny Gat.]]
* ButtMonkey: 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 [[spoiler: kill Killbane. After the Boss declares Steelport a sovereign city-state, s/he offers Pierce the office of Mayor.]]
** CID calls the boss out on the way he they treat Pierce in IV.
* CallBack: The [[spoiler:outfit he wears and song he sings]] during the second mission of "The Trouble With Clones" is a call back to the first game where [[spoiler:Aisha wore the exact same clothes and sung the song (Bounce Like My Checks Did) on the radio.]]
* TheCastShowoff: His voice actor is a singer, and he has several missions where he performs a duet with the Boss.
* CatchPhrase: "Man, why you gotta be like that?"
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Mentions that he "normally doesn't swing that way" when propositioned for sex by the boss. [[StraightGay The dialogue is exactly the same if it's a Female Boss.]]
* TheLoad: Out of all the Saints Pierce probably falls into this the most. A few standout examples would be in the mission where he and Boss hijack the tank (he keeps shooting the laser at the truck carrying some gear Kinzie sent them to get) and the mission where he shows up with the airstrike weapon and has to be escorted inside by the Boss (on hardcore difficulty the Boss has a good chance of dying before he even gets to Pierce). The worst example though, is the misson "Three Way" where he and Oleg join the Boss in stopping a citywide attack from STAG and a rival gang. Oleg does fairly well by himself, but Pierce will be in need of rescue about half the time due to him mindlessly charging into hordes of enemies and tanks.
* NiceHat
* NoodleIncident: He is... less than thrilled to meet Oleg during the Saints raid on the Syndicate tower.
-->"The last time a big naked dude said he could help me it DID NOT end well..."
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: 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...
* NoRespectGuy: Mostly in the second game. By the third game he starts being taken a little more seriously.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Plays himself off like the brains of the crew, but when he's actually on the spot he's just whiny and way too obsessed with making a good impression.
** Which makes him ''perfect'' for The Boss's public relations officer in the fourth game.
* TheStrategist: Although he never gets any credit for it.
* TooCleverByHalf: He is full of zany plans.
* RousseauWasRight: In Saints Row IV, if you have him and Keith Davis as homies, Peirce will suddenly talk about how even though [[spoiler: Earth and most of humanity is now gone]], they should see this as a fresh new start for humanity, where they would go find a habitable planet and begin a new age of humanity built on freedom, justice and rights for all. Keith Davis, however believes that not only would that planet already be inhabited by sentinent beings, but [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters that we'll just repeat the same mistakes again on that new planet.]]
* WholesomeCrossdresser: [[spoiler:Poor Pierce is forced to dress up as Aisha in the "Trouble With Clones" DLC to lure out a clone of Johnny Gat so that the Saints could capture him.]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Despite starring in commercials for the product, Saints Row IV reveals that Pierce is seemingly terrified of the Saint's Flow mascot. He clarifies that he's ''actually'' terrified of the power of marketing, or more specifically, of losing control of the Saint's marketing empire. [[ItMakesSenseInContext Which takes the form of a 100 foot tall Saint's Flow mascot named Paul.]][[/folder]]

!! 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.
* AwesomeButImpractical: 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.
* TheBigGuy: 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.
* CloningBlues: He serves as the genetic model for brutes and as such remained a prisoner of the Syndicate until the Saints rescue him. Apparently, he wasn't even allowed a pair of underwear.
* CulturedWarrior: In spite of what his brutish appearence might first suggest he is very intellectual and probably the most well read member of the Saints. When not killing gang bangers or wrecking cars he can commonly be found playing chess with Pierce. He is also able to quote Sun Tzu and seems to know a fair bit about history and mythology.
* FullFrontalAssault: In the first mission he appears in the Saints find him bound nude to a large machine and free him. Since they just set up a massive bomb to destroy the building they are in he decides to finish the fight completely naked. Pierce is uncomfortable from the entire situation, but Oleg simply says that the human body is nothing to be ashamed of.
* GeekyTurnOn: 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 TechnoBabble.
* GeniusBruiser: Don't let his appearance fool you... he is eloquent, 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.
* HuskyRusskie
* InexplicablyAwesome: Why is Oleg so '''[[TheBigGuy HUGE]]'''? Why is he MadeOfIron? What did he do in the Cold War? We certainly don't know.
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: In the 4th game, he didn't get abducted with the rest of the gang and was blown up along with the Earth as The Boss was trying to call him.]]
* MadeOfIron: When you first fight a clone of him, everyone is in amazement of their ridiculous hardiness and strength - Oleg states they are successful clones of his bodies but not his mind, and it's obvious in gameplay that he's no less unstoppable than them. In spite of the first reactions to his clones, just ''how'' he is titanium-made-flesh never comes up and doesn't get explained, leaving him inexplicably awesome.
* MysteriousPast: He's very tight lipped about his life before being captured by the Syndicate and being cloned, stating it would be better for your friendship if you didn't know about it. He worked for the KGB, and he's evidently seen STAG technology and the NEMO chair.
* NakedOnArrival: When you first meet him.
* NoodleIncident: Has a long standing rivalry with Burt Reynolds who he fought at some point during the Cold War.
* OneManArmy: [[spoiler:During the mission "Gang Bang" he even jumps on a VTOL and takes it out singlehandedly, allowing Boss and Viola to escape a STAG ambush.]]
* TheSpock: 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 TheMcCoy to Oleg's TheSpock when [[spoiler: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.]]
* SmartPeoplePlayChess
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Like fellow Russian giant [[StreetFighter Zangief]], Oleg can do the Pile Driver to finish off enemy Brutes.
!! Kinzie Kensington
->'''Played By:''' Natalie Lander
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-Kenzie_-_Render_9893.png]]
A former FBI intelligence agent who was kicked out after she threatened to expose Matt Miller's crimes, causing him to retaliate by destroying her reputation. She becomes the Saints' new tech expert after they rescue her from a Deckers-owned barge.
* {{Adorkable}}
* AlliterativeName
* [[spoiler:BerserkButton: If you value your limbs, you will NEVER bring up the time she got captured by the Zin and was forced to wear a poodle skirt.]]
* BrainsAndBondage: In the cut scene before rescuing Zimos from a BDSM club called Safeword she says "Mine's 'tea cup'." In the cut scene before "Learning Computer" she's shown to own a Gimp mask.
* CassandraTruth: Reveals what the Deckers fabricated to get her terminated in an off-handed manner.
--> '''Kinzie:''' "Sure, let down your guard and suddenly, they make it look like you're selling secrets to Mossad and moonlighting as a dominatrix."
** No one in the Saints takes any of warnings about an alien invasion seriously. Guess what happens in ''Saints Row IV?''
* CleavageWindow: Her superpower suit has one.
* CovertPervert: 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.
** She surprises herself about this during the DancePartyEnding to IV -- giving an awkward few steps upon realizing it's her turn to dance, before giving an incredibly sexy dance crawl, and then [[OhCrap realizing she just did that in front of everyone.]]
** And during the time travel montage, she puts herself as Lady Godiva, and MarilynMonroe during the famous skirt blowing scene.
* DeusExMachina: Discussed and defied.
--> '''Kinzie''' I'm not a Deus ex machina, you know!
* DuelingHackers: With Matt Miller during some of the Deckers missions.
* FBIAgent: She used to be one. The Deckers getting her fired and kidnapping her is what causes her to join the Saints as their hacker once they rescue her.
* FieryRedhead: Especially in ''IV''.
* GeniusSlob: If you have her and [[spoiler: Viola]] as homies at the same time it's revealed that Kinzie doesn't ''know how to'' wash her hair.
* HackerCave: Her warehouse crib is set up as this. [[spoiler:She is ''not'' happy when she finds out the Zin have removed her setup in the simulation of Steelport.]]
* HeroesWantRedheads: In the ShowWithinAShow ''Gangstas in Space'', she plays Cornell, the MissionControl and LoveInterest for the hero (played by the Boss).
* HiddenDepths: During a late Deckers mission the Boss asks her what genre of music she likes while they drive to a Deckers stronghold. Her answer? [[spoiler:Hardcore gangsta rap.]] Boss is completely shocked.
-->"Seriously?"
* {{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. [[spoiler: 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"...
* HollywoodNerd: For a computer geek, she's quite the looker.
* HotterAndSexier: Her super suit in 4 is a skin tight leather or PVC catsuit with a CleavageWindow, a big change from her very modest cardigan and trousers.
* HypocriticalHumor: In the fourth game after busting The Boss free from his virtual prison, she answers his complaints about wanting to change clothes as not important. [[spoiler: When she gets stuck in the same 50's simulation and is broken free, she instantly tells The Boss not to tell anyone about it and punches him when he/she jokes she looked cute in the poodle dress.]]
* InTheHood: Her super suit.
* IWarnedYou[=/=]IKnewIt: At the start of VideoGame/SaintsRowIV, it's mentioned that she's been saying that an AlienInvasion is coming. Her reaction to it happening is the former, but she says the latter.
* LampshadeHanging: Will call out Zimos' inconsistent use of his microphone staff when the two are called as Homies together.
* {{Meganekko}}.
** TheGlassesGottaGo: Super Kinzie in Saints Row 4 doesn't wear glasses.
* MissionControl: Shares this role with Matt for the majority of the fourth game, though she can be called into the simulation as a homie at any time.
* NoSocialSkills: Have a listen to a homie conversation between her and someone else in ''The Third''. '''Any of them'''. Toned down by ''IV''.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Given her backstory as a former FBI agent, she would have to be in her mid-20's at least, but looks as though she's still a teenager.
* PlayfulHacker
* ProperlyParanoid: 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.
* [[HeKnowsTooMuch She Knows Too Much]]: Actually ''knows'' the Boss's name. All the Boss can do is tell her to keep it to herself.
* SlapSlapKiss: If you romance her in VideoGame/SaintsRowIV. Appropriate, given her interest in BDSM.
-->'''The Boss''': [[DoYouWantToCopulate Hey Kinzie, wanna fuck?]]
-->'''Kinzie''': Let's go! *Punches the Boss across the face before leaping into his/her arms*
* RoomFullOfCrazy: Kinzie's room in her lair is full of newspaper clippings of sightings of [[spoiler:Zombie Lin]] and aliens. There is also a lot of Ultor related stuff.
* TechnoBabble: 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 LaymansTerms, she'll lapse back into this [[MotorMouth in no time flat]].
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Matt in the 4th game.
* [[spoiler:ThreeMinutesOfWrithing: Her dance in the DancePartyEnding from ''IV''.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: In IV, where she delivers a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on [[spoiler: Cyrus Temple]] after gaining superpowers and even ''punches the Boss''.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In IV she goes from being occasionally rude and mouthy to outright disrespecting and hitting the Boss when they provoke her. Justified since the Saints lose [[spoiler:Oleg]] and gain [[spoiler:Matt]] at the beginning of that game.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In the debut trailer, she's seen typing away on a keyboard while the Boss and [[NeverTrustATrailer Johnny]] get into a firefight. Her only response is to shake her head and continue typing.
* WhatTheHellHero: In her first audio log in IV, she calls out the Saints for their [[EasilyForgiven Easy Forgiveness]] of [[spoiler:Matt Miller]], citing how he [[spoiler:destroyed her personal and professional life]] when she was an FBI agent.
** [[spoiler: Calls out the Boss for taking the crew for granted in the 4th game when he learns Gat is alive.]]
*** Doubles as a CMOA for her because [[spoiler: she is the first person to ever make the Boss '''''apologize'''''.]]
!! Angel De La Muerte
->'''Played By:''' Wrestling/HulkHogan
A former luchadore who was once part of the Pale Horsemen tag-team with Killbane. The two formed the Luchadores gang, but [[spoiler: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.]]
* ActorAllusion: If you have Angel as a homie, he'll sometimes yell, "[[NewWorldOrder We're taking over!]]"
** Hogan's signature taunt is available in the game as "Angelmania"; rather appropriately, once you [[spoiler:get Angel his mask back]] it's the first thing he does.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome
* [[spoiler:FakeUltimateHero]]: [[spoiler:For the entire game he is built up as a complete badass on par with people like Johnny Gat and the Boss, with losing to Killbane being his only failure in life. He even puts the Boss through TrainingFromHell to toughen him up for their upcoming match against Killbane. When he finally gets a chance to fight, however, Killbane kicks his ass, throws him from the ring, and has to be defeated by the Boss alone. If it weren't for his entire gang holding him back after his loss, Killbane probably would have rushed back out and finished Angel off when he started taunting him.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: The luchador code demands unmasking Killbane in the ring instead of simply killing him, dspite how many problems that would solve. [[spoiler:Oh, no wait... Angel says you DO have to kill Killbane after all. Hope you don't mind losing Shaundi, Viola, and Burt to do so.]]
* InTheHood: Likely used to hide his face after he was [[spoiler:publicly de-masked in the ring and went into hiding.]]
* [[spoiler:TheLoad]]: [[spoiler:Ultimately, his only contribution to the Saints was to waste the Boss' time.]]
* MaskedLuchador: Though he spends most of the game without his mask and only feels worthy of reclaiming it near the end of the game.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "The Angel Of Death."
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Despite being obviously Hispanic, Hogan makes no attempt to put any accent in his voice.
** Double points for irony, Hulk Hogan ''is'' Hispanic.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: 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 BloodKnight.
* TrainingFromHell: 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.
** The first of these activities is called 'Insurance Fraud'... and you're told to go get hit by cars until you've racked up a certain amount of lawsuit value. The harder you're hit, the more it's worth. So, you go play in traffic hoping to get hit by a semi and dragged underneath it...
** As a homie he also offers to teach Josh Birk when he asks for training. How? By getting him to punch bee hives...
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He is not mentioned in IV, though it is likely [[spoiler: he was killed when Earth was destroyed]].
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: 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.
* AffablyEvil: Is among the more open and friendly members of the Saints.
* AutoTune: His mechanical larynx has this installed in it.
* BadassGrandpa: He doesn't seem like much when you first meet him, but he manages to hold his own in all of the missions he appears in and protects the girls Boss saves from a Morning Star sex slave ring.
* BenevolentBoss: Well, about as much as a pimp can be. He definitely treats his girls better than the Morningstar.
** When he finds out a local mechanic is physically abusing his girls he tasks the boss with killing him in one of the hitman side missions.
** He also allowed his girls to unionize. Volition really tried to make a procurer as sympathetic as possible.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome
* DirtyOldMan: 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.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Several of his missions involve rescuing prostitutes from the Morningstar... to ''provide them with better working conditions.''
** When he shows up in IV's ''Enter The Dominatrix'' DLC, The Boss is currently [[ItMakesSenseInContext undercover at a BDSM club and is unknowingly sent to pleasure Zimos]], Zimos is disgusted at the idea (liking it to fucking a cousin) and just tells the person in charge that you did the deed.
* PetTheDog: During the raid on Morning Star's BDSM club he'll tell the Boss to free the girls trapped in the cages (which the player can do or not) and gets upset if the Boss shoots them once they are free. See also BenevolentBoss above.
* PimpDuds: Including a gold walking cane shaped like the top half of a mic stand, with the microphone grip functioning as his mechanical larynx.
* NakedOnArrival: 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.
* NiceHat: Boss can get one just like it... if the player is willing to drop a few dollars on a DLC pack, that is.
* SmokingIsCool: To the extent that when it destroyed his voice he simply had [[RefugeInAudacity auto-tune installed in his mic-shaped pimp cane.]]
* SunglassesAtNight
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In part IV, the President isn't sure what happened to him. [[spoiler: He most likely was killed when Earth blew up]].
** [[spoiler: He shows up in ''Enter the Dominatrix'' and becomes a homie afterwards, but considering the bizzare nature of the dlc, it's hard to say if that means he's alive in a simulation somewhere in the canon storyline.]]
* [[WhatTheHellHero What The Hell, Anti-Hero?]]: He'll call the Boss out for shooting the girls they free during the raid on a Morning Star sex slave ring, even if it was an accident.
* [[spoiler: [[WomanScorned Women Scorned]]: The reason he found himself in a ponyshow is because he slept with one of the [=DeWynter=] sisters...Then forgot which one.]]
!! Viola [=DeWynter=]
See ''Morning Star''
[[/folder]]
[[folder: The 3rd Street Saints - Saints Row IV]]
!! Creator/KeithDavid
The legendary actor and Vice-President of the United States, which makes him the second in command after the Boss.
* AllMenArePerverts: He can be seen reading a girly magazine (With a topless Shaundi on the cover no less!) at several times while chilling out on the Saint's spaceship. However, he's the only character that cannot be romanced, claiming that he'd rather keep the relationship professional.
* AsHimself: Which is interesting since he already gave his voice to another in-game character: Julius Little.
* BadAss: Its KeithDavid, so yeah, this is to be expected.
** BadassCape: As part of his superpowered outfit.
** BadassBaritone: A given.
* [[spoiler: HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Sells the boss out to Zinyak because he claimed he could restore the Earth, being the new president was just an extra. Ultimately he can't go through with it when he sees the boss receiving a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from Zin soldiers and shoots them, earning back the Boss' trust.]]
* InkSuitActor: Natch.
* NotSoDifferent: He insists that he is nothing like Julius several times. [[spoiler:Ultimately, he turns out to be exactly like Julius... though he manages to come to his senses before its too late.]]
* [[spoiler:TalkingToHimself]]: [[spoiler:He also voiced Julius Little, the original leader of the Saints. Since the player can have both of them as homies by the end of the game...]]
** [[spoiler: The fact that he provides the voice of both Julius and...well...[[AsHimself Keith David]], is repeatedly lampshaded as multiple characters will often talk about how Keith reminds them of Julius, and vice versa]]
* [[spoiler:WellIntentionedExtremist]]: [[spoiler:He makes a deal with Zinyak to revive all the people killed on Earth when it was destroyed. The only problem? He has to betray the Saints and kill the Boss for it to happen... luckily, he quickly comes to his senses and saves the Boss from an ambush he led him into.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: We don't see him again after you free him from his simulation and he is not with the others during the final battle.]]
!! Asha Odekar
[[quoteright:280:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/280px-ashaodekarzst_3061.png]]
A new member of the Saints in the forth game, Asha Odekar is a member of MI6 and acts as a liaison for the CIA. She and her handler Matt are the first to try and warn the Boss of the Zin invasion, since no one back in England believes them. Unfortunately, neither does the Boss until it's too late.
* ActionGirl: A rare military trained badass in the Saints Row canon. She's often exasperated at the Boss' total lack of strategy and tactics.
* BeingPersonalIsntProfessional: Her reasoning for being uptight and uncaring is the feeling she has to put her personal feelings aside to complete the mission. In truth she cares deeply, but is afraid to show it lest it puts others at risk.
* [[BodyguardBabes Bodyguard Babe]]: Some of her work back on Earth [[spoiler:before it gets completely destroyed]] was this. Her loyalty mission also involves both her and the Boss guarding a VIP from assassins.
* BritsWithBattleships: Slightly tangentially given that she's a spy, MI6 is an abbreviation of Military Intelligence, Section 6.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has no problem trading quips with the Boss over his lack of subtlety.
* [[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy Masculine Girl]]: To Matt's feminine boy.
* MilitaryBrat: She mentions that the main reason she joined the military was because of her father, who instilled a strong sense of patriotism in her from a young age. Boss just thinks she saw way too many action movies as a kid, which she dismisses.
** HiddenDepths: Specifically, she dismisses the notion that one can watch "too many action movies".
* [[spoiler: MyGreatestFailure: The simulation she is rescued from exploits her fear of failure.]]
* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl:]] About on par with fun!Shaundi, she is a genuinely caring person, if standoffish and feeling a lack of respect.
* RandomSmokingScene: Happens when the Boss rescues her from her personal nightmare simulation. This being SaintsRow it gets lampshaded just like everything else:
-->Boss: *offering her a cigarette* "Do you smoke?"
-->Asha: [[CigaretteOfAnxiety "I do now."]]
* WhatTheHellHero: She gives one to the Boss during her loyalty mission if they [[spoiler:kill an InnocentBystander after falsely perceiving him as a threat.]] Whoops.
-->"Way to go, you just [[spoiler:killed the nicest man in town, you murderer!"]]
!! CID
->'''Played By:''' Michael Yurchak
An A.I. the Boss runs into while exploring Zinyak's virtual version of Steelport. He was a dissenter of Zinyak's empire, and while his physical body was killed, he managed to upload his mind into cyberspace. He agrees to help the Saints in exchange for a robot body to upload his consciousness into [[spoiler: and later a date with one of the female crew members. Background chatter from the announcers in Prof. Genki's Mind Over Matter show heavily implies that he was a king, and the last being to challenge Zinyak for his race's freedom, but ultimately failed and his mind was permanently trapped within the simulation.]]
* BrainUploading: What he did to save himself.
* BrutalHonesty: He has his moments of this... and they are usually pretty funny.
* ChivalrousPervert: He's always willing to help you out, but he's equally obsessed with sex, despite (or because of) his lack of a body.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DoYouWantToCopulate: He is extremely blunt about his desire for romance, and extremely persistent.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[{{Halo}} 343 Guilty Spark]] and [[{{Portal2}} Wheatley]].
* JokeCharacter: He can be called up at any time just like the rest of your homies, but he cannot fight at all.
* [[spoiler: MeaningfulName: Just like [[ElCidPloy a certain Spanish noble]], he was apparently a king who was also the greatest champion of his people, until Zinyak disposed of him.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He gladly helps the Boss and the rest of the Saints, but only if they do him favors or give him some sort of reward in return.
* RobotBuddy
* {{Robosexual}}: His new body is capable of sexual activity, as the romance cut scene shows. He also hooks up with Fun Shaundi in one mission (both ditching the boss to complete the mission alone).
* [[spoiler:RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething]]: [[spoiler:If he really is a king then this trope definitely applies as he was vital to the Saints in bringing down Zinyak.]]
* ShoutOut: His name is one to the FinalFantasy series, as is made clear in his banter with Benjamin King.
* TokenNonHuman
* TookALevelInBadass: Inverted, once upon a time he was another civilisations equivalent of ''Johnny Gat'' who never had anyone to rescue him. These days he's a hoverball SmartGuy
