| 25 | ->'''Played By:''' Creator/ClancyBrown |
| 26 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''[[Videogame/SaintsRow1 Saints Row]]'' |
| 27 | An alderman and mayoral candidate running for mayor, and the main antagonist in the final part of ''VideoGame/SaintsRow1''. |
| 28 | ---- |
| 29 | * AffablyEvil: When he finally shows up, he acts friendly to the main character and even offers him a glass of expensive champagne while going over his plans. Even when he has his goons pull guns on Playa with the intent to kill him where he stands he doesn't drop the polite tone and promises that he'll be thanked in his acceptance speech for doing his dirty work. |
| 30 | * AssholeVictim: Hughes tries to have the Playa shot to death by his bodyguards. Julius decides between the Playa and Hughes, he'd rather just blow them both up with the bomb he installed in the yacht. |
| 31 | * BaldOfEvil: He's a corrupt politician with male pattern baldness. |
| 32 | * TheChessmaster: After the Saints had wiped every gang in the city, [[ScareCampaign Hughes had Marshall Winslow killed by the Playa so he could win the mayoral election]]. Doing so, he would use the Saints' responsibility for most of the crime in Stilwater to justify salting the entire Saint's Row district in the hopes of completely wiping out gang violence. |
| 33 | * DeathByIrony: Blown up on the very same boat he intended to kill the Playa on. And while the Playa survives, Hughes doesn't. |
| 34 | * EqualOpportunityEvil: This line basically sums up his HiddenDepths, both profound and rotten: |
| 35 | --> '''Hughes''': As you get older, you quickly learn there are only two types of people in this world. Race, money, gender, none of this matters. At the end of the day, you're either a winner, or a loser… for me to be a winner, I have to level your neighborhood, and salt the earth. |
| 36 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Especially since he's voiced by Clancy Brown. |
| 37 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Of the first game. His plan all along was to use the Saints to get his redevelopment project for Saints Row funding. |
| 38 | * KillThePoor: His EvilPlan is to use the Saints' responsibility for Stilwater's gang warfare to justify [[SaltTheEarth demolishing the district of Saint's Row]]. |
| 39 | * ManipulativeBastard: He orders Chief Monroe to arrest Julius in order to use the Playa for his dirty work. After this inevitably leads to Monroe's death, he meets the Playa under the pretense of having the Saints pardoned for their crimes and Julius released. Instead, he plans to pin Stilwater's gang violence on the Saints as an excuse to demolish the district. |
| 40 | * MayorPain: For a day or so anyway. |
| 41 | * SaltTheEarth: He explicitly calls his EvilPlan for the Saints Row district this. |
| 42 | * ScareCampaign: By using the Saints to do his dirty work. |
| 43 | * SleazyPolitician: He's backed by gang enforcers and a corrupt police chief and orchestrates the death of Mayor Winslow to make sure he wins the election. |
| 44 | * SmugSnake: For all his cunning scheming, ultimately he never expected to be killed by a yacht bomb of all things. |
| 45 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: Hughes' posters can be seen all over Stilwater, is backed by the (equally as corrupt) Chief Monroe and Ben King, has a monument dedicated to him downtown, and his campaign is funded by Rollerz's mastermind William Sharp. In the second game, he's still praised as a victim of the gang violence that plagued Stilwater and has several memorial statues dedicated to him. |
| 46 | * WalkingSpoiler: Outside of the radio, he only physically appears once at the finale where he's swiftly blown up, but his appearance establishes him as the BigBad and sets the start of ''2'' into motion. |
| 47 | * WealthyYachtOwner: The last mission of the main story of the first game begins with him inviting Playa to his private yacht for a meeting. |
| 48 | * WhyAmITicking: A variant and his last words. Just as he gloating to the Playa, he keeps hearing beeping and wonders what the sound is before the boat goes boom. |

| 64 | |
| 65 | %%* ActionGirl |
| 66 | * AscendedExtra: In the first game, she's merely a news reporter sharing her role with Jack Armstrong who is only heard in voice reports. In ''2'', not only is she an unlockable homie, but she takes over from Jack and makes several appearances in the campaign. |
| 67 | * BadBadActing: In ''IV'', she's forced by Zinyak to read ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' alongside him. She deliberately reads the script in the same deadpan tone she uses for her news reports. |
| 68 | * CasualDangerDialogue: Especially in the third game during a mission where you invade her set and have a massive gun-battle in her studio. Her reaction? She just calmly changes to the new topic the Boss wants her to discuss while snarking all the time. |
| 69 | * DiscOneNuke: In ''2'', she can be unlocked right after finishing "Jailbreak" by completing an easy challenge. Given that she's armed with a powerful shotgun by default, she's one of the best Homies in the game. |
| 70 | * {{Expy}}: Seemingly based on Tricia Takanawa from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', both being news reporters with practically identical voices. |

| 73 | --> ''Causing mayhem is better than reporting on it!'' |
| 74 | * IfItBleedsItLeads: One of the Mayhem quests in the second game revolves around her having the player cause enough destruction so she can take people's attention away from a [[MoralGuardians moral guardian lawyer]]. |
| 75 | * IntrepidReporter: In the second game, she's more than willing to get herself embroiled in crimes. |
| 76 | * LemonyNarrator: As the DJ for the simulation's dubstep radio station. |
| 77 | * MadLibsCatchPhrase: Signs off every broadcast in the third game with some variant on "this has been Jane Valderama, with your X news." |
| 78 | * OddFriendship: With the Saints. |
| 79 | * OohMeAccentsSlipping: Speaks mostly in a very flat, monotone, American accent. Except when saying her own last name when signing off, where she rolls the R slightly. |
| 80 | * SecretCharacter: Unlocking her as a Homie requires the Boss to successfully mug 50 people at gunpoint. This can be done straight after finishing the first mission of the game. |
| 81 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: The developers have been inconsistent with spelling of her surname, even within the same game. In the second game, it's spelled "Valderama" in the homies listing and "Valderam'''m'''a" in the subtitles. In the third game, it's spelled "Valderam'''m'''a" in the assassination request, "Valder'''r'''ama" in the news broadcast shown in one of the endings, and "Valderama" in the credits. |
| 82 | * StunnedSilence: [[spoiler:After the Boss declares Steelport a seceding city-state, Jane stares at him for half a second before awkwardly smiling at the camera, unable to comment as she usually does.]] |

| 98 | * EvilOldFolks: An elderly Chinese gangster. |
| 99 | * GratuitousEnglish: Speaks mostly Mandarin Chinese, while having an interpreter translate. |
| 100 | * TheLoad: In ''Saints Row 2'', his only function is to provide Akuji with a target to go after, and to shrug off his Saints bodyguards for a one-on-one fight (which simply requires that the Boss rescue him before he gets himself killed). |
| 101 | * PreAsskickingOneLiner: Before their fight, Kazuo boasts that Wong should be thankful that his death will be merciful compared to what he has planned for the Saints. Wong's response? |

| 148 | * EccentricFashionDesigner: Being a European fashion designer and owner of the Impressions, a high-end clothes store chain in Stilwater, Stefan sports a thick, vaguely French accent, rather campy affectations, always [[ThirdPersonPerson refers to Stefan in third person]], and likes to [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment repeat parts of Stefan's sentences]]. Stefan is also in cahoots with the Vice Kings gang (or rather, Stefan is the personal fashion advisor to one of their lieutenants, Tanya), making Stefan a target for the Saints. |

Were he not tied to the Colombians, the brothers would've put him in a body bag. This is also why the Saints don't kill him. If they did, the Carnales would lose their partnership and any future weapon and drug supplies, but the Colombians would've taken an express trip to Stilwater to make the Saints' lives a living hell for killing their liason. |

| 245 | * ActionMom: You can even call her up as a homie in the first game. She brings a shotgun with her. |
| 246 | * AffablyEvil: Apart from selling drugs and working with gangsters, she's basically a normal friendly {{Housewife}}. |
| 247 | * AntiVillain: Aside from the whole drug thing, she's one of the most moral people in the city. When Boss breaks her out of jail, she even leaves a nice note. |
| 248 | * AscendedExtra: In the first game, she's not much beyond a supporting character, but in the sequel, she plays a larger role in helping bring down one of the rival gangs. |
| 249 | * EveryoneHasStandards: She wasn't OK with killing cops in ''Saints Row'', and will often voice her displeasure if an officer or FBI agent goes down. She seems to have outgrown this mindset in ''Saints Row 2''. |
| 250 | * HappilyMarried: To her husband, Tobias. |
| 251 | * {{Housewife}}: Though that doesn't stop her from dealing hard drugs on the side to support her family. In the second game, this catches up with her and she is sent to prison, which the Boss then breaks her out of for an early Samedi mission. |
| 252 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: In the first game, she mentions getting into drugs because her "colored" friend told her about it, doesn't want to deal drugs downtown because she isn't poor, and assumes the Playa has several children based solely on them being in a gang. |
| 253 | * KarmaHoudini: Goes to heaven when Tobias goes to hell, despite them leading the same life of crime. |
| 254 | * RichBitch: Has a bit of this in the first game. |

| 266 | Like his wife Laura, he deals drugs in the first game and helps the Saints take out a rival gang in the sequel. He is a pilot, and he drives the Saints' getaway helicopter in the last mission of the game. |
| 267 | ---- |
| 268 | * AffablyEvil: After furiously shooting his partner to death for stealing from him, he then calms down as soon as the player character shows up, apologizing for bad first impressions. And then he shoots Billy's corpse again for good measure. |
| 269 | * AscendedExtra: Just an angry drug dealer in the first game, but vital to the Saints in the second. |
| 270 | * TheAggressiveDrugDealer: Though he chills out a lot by ''Saints Row 2''. |
| 271 | * BackForTheFinale: Appears after the last mission of [=SR2=], flying Boss, Pierce and Shaundi out of Ultor HQ. |
| 272 | * BerserkButton: You don't ever steal from him, and you certainly never skim off the top. Billy learned this the hard way. |
| 273 | * TheComicallySerious: When his piloting credentials are questioned: ''"Does it look like I'm joking?"'' |
| 274 | * CreepyMonotone: When he's not screaming at the top of his lungs, he speaks with an icy monotone. |
| 275 | * DreadlockWarrior: He wears dreadlocks, and he's happy to shoot people if they anger him, however directly or indirectly. |
| 276 | * HairTriggerTemper: When we're first introduced to him, we see him blow the head off his partner for skimming from him. During deals, his dialogue can go from calm to berserk within seconds. He mellows out in the second game, but there's still traces of it there. |
| 277 | * HappilyMarried: To his wife, Laura. |
| 278 | * NewAgeRetroHippie: In the first game he even drives a NRG V8 with a special hippie decal not seen on civilian versions of the car. In the second game, its available as a customization option. |
| 279 | * NoIndoorVoice: When he has a gun or he's piloting a helicopter, at least. He doesn't raise his voice otherwise. |
| 280 | * PunctuatedPounding: When he's shooting his skimming partner to death in the first game. |
| 281 | -->'''Tobias:''' ''YOU THINK YOU CAN STEAL FROM ME?! YOU THINK YOU CAN FUCKING ROB ME?! YOU STUPID! FUCKING! BACKSTABBING! PIECE! OF SHIT!'' |
| 282 | * PutOnABusToHell: In ''Gat out of Hell'', Tobias is a husk that serves as a playable character in one of the activities. He presumably dies when the Earth was blown up. |
| 283 | * TheStoner: In the first game, he acts like he's on a mix of pot and PCP. In the second, he seems like he just smokes a lot of pot without the PCP. |
| 284 | ** Sometimes when beginning the Drug Trafficking activity with him in the first game, the player can hear him snorting something behind the wheel before calmly starting the van and taking off. |

| 314 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Their solution to flag burning in Stilwater is to give the flags nerve agent to immoblize the burner and make them lose control of their bodily functions. |
| 315 | * HeteronormativeCrusader: Implied. David initially agrees with flag burning because he didn't hear the L. |
| 316 | * {{Hypocrite}}: They are all for free speech, as long as it is stuff they approve of and the government gives it the greenlight. |
| 317 | -->'''David''': You are free to do whatever you wanted to do, [[ImmediateSelfContradiction as long as sombody in our government approves of it]]. |
| 318 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Despite their exaggerated views, they do have a point in that the gangs of Stilwater are heavily armed and likely have more guns than they do members. |
| 319 | * MoralGuardians: They believe that there should be a law to make it so you can only play as a HeroProtagonist in video games, being opposed to games with [[VillainProtagonist Villain Protagonists]]. |
| 320 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: They support putting shock collars on immigrants and David apparently supports burning gay people because he didn't hear the L in "flag". |
| 321 | * ShockCollar: Their solution to immigrants, alongside inserting chips into them so the government knows where they are at all times. |
| 322 | * StrawCharacter: They are very unflattering portrayals of conservatives, as while no one argues against them, their solutions to problems are very extreme. |
| 323 | * TakeThat: Mike and David are unflattering parodies of conservative talk radio hosts, with their views taken to comical proportions such as shock collars for immigrants and inflicting bodily harm on anyone who burns a flag. |

| 330 | ->'''Played By:''' Creator/YuriLowenthal |
| 331 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''Videogame/SaintsRowTheThird'' | ''Genkibowl VII'' | ''Videogame/SaintsRowIV'' | ''Videogame/SaintsRowGatOutOfHell'' |
| 332 | The Host of ''Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax'', the most popular TV show in Steelport. He also has three servants: [[ActionGirl Angry]] [[CatGirl Tiger]], [[MsFanservice Sexy]] [[CatGirl Kitten]], and [[{{Moe}} Sad]] [[LittleBitBeastly Panda]], each of whom have their own sidequests. |
| 333 | |
| 334 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: He considers a large number of his fans to be this, to the point where being around them for too long will cause a mission to fail. |
| 335 | * AxCrazy: Professor Genki can be found in the city as a [[LethalJokeCharacter surprisingly powerful NPC]] that goes around killing random people. Even back during the promotional live action skits his bloodlust is very clear when a man eating himself alive and a woman being eaten alive by rabies-addled men in dog suits pleases him. This mania continues in the Genkibowl VII DLC and its violent events. |
| 336 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: The main game drops several hints that he is much more than a silly game show host while the Genkibowl VII DLC makes him out to be a badass on the same level as Johnny Gat. The announcers even mention that he actually used to test out all the games himself, but had to retire because the clean up crew refused to deal with the messes he left in his wake! |
| 337 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: It is uncertain what he considers to be ethical. The only thing that he clearly considers unethical is the killing of pandas. |
| 338 | * CheshireCatGrin: He bears a permanent one. Borderlines on SlasherSmile as well. |
| 339 | * DarkMessiah: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5O9x7aL7QE live action Webisode]] seem to suggest this and so does the Genkibowl VII {{DLC}}. |
| 340 | * DeadlyGame: Combination of the other participants trying to kill you and the course having numerous {{DeathTrap}}s. It's basically EverythingTryingToKillYou in a parody of Japanese gameshows. |
| 341 | * DeathIsCheap: No matter how many times you kill him when he randomly shows up, he'll still show up again. This is not a case of GameplayAndStorySegregation either: [[spoiler:when you kill him as part of the main story of Saints Row IV, Zach and Bobby simply say that Genki's "down, but not out."]] |
| 342 | * DisproportionateRetribution: According to his publicist in Genkibowl VII, if you look at him in the eyes, you'll wake up in a prison camp in North Korea. |
| 343 | * EnigmaticMinion: In ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV''. He signed himself and his hosts up to the Zin empire willingly (or Zinyak approached him, it's left vague) so he could continue his Murder Time Fun Time events with the superpowers you can get in the simulation, [[spoiler:and even shows up as a boss on several occasions.]] But winning his games does damage the simulation, and he is quite generous to the Saints with his various toys. Whether he's TheQuisling, a TricksterMentor, or [[ItAmusedMe in it for shits and giggles without any loyalties or plan either way]] is ambiguous. |
| 344 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Shooting pandas is considered unethical and gets you a penalty. |
| 345 | * GameShowHost: In the same vein as Takeshi's Castle, but with lethal obstacles. |
| 346 | * HalfHumanHybrid: He is a fusion of a human professor and a cat. |
| 347 | * KillItWithFire: His personal car comes with multiple built-in flamethrowers, charged up by running over people. |
| 348 | * MadeOfIron: |
| 349 | ** It takes ''a lot'' of firepower to bring Genki down. Having Playa's Respect level maxed out and infinite grenades and explosives is practically a must to kill Genki. |
| 350 | ** ''Saints Row IV'' takes it up to eleven, when Genki has ''superpowers''. |
| 351 | * MadScientist: Definitely plays the part, and if he did invent the Octopus Gun and Manapult, then he really is one. |
| 352 | * {{Mascot}}: He is the unofficial mascot of VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird. The player can have homies dressed up like him as well. |
| 353 | * MetalSlime: |
| 354 | ** In ''Saints Row: The Third'', he occasionally appears wandering the world as a mascot and is borderline ImmuneToBullets. When killed ([[MadeOfIron eventually]]), he drops anywhere from $100K up to $300K - almost as much as the raw reward of all plot missions combined. Killing him doesn't prevent to meet him again. |
| 355 | ** Averted in ''Saints Row IV''. A wandering, respawning Genki can still be encountered and fought in the game, but he merely is a slightly tougher than average mook and no longer drops an obscene amount of cash when killed. |
| 356 | * ReligionOfEvil: He is the head of one. |
| 357 | * {{Superboss}}: In the third and fourth games, he has a very low chance of randomly appearing in Steelport. He's one of the strongest enemies in those games, but he drops a ''lot'' of cash when he dies. In ''Gat Out of Hell'', Genki appears when you max out your notoriety meter. He's still absurdly strong. Killing him gets you TheArkOfTheCovenant, the Wrath Deadly Sin weapon. |
| 358 | * WasOnceAMan: He used to be an ordinary human professor before he fused with his cat. |
| 359 | * WeaksauceWeakness: For all his awesomeness, a satchel charge placed on him will cause him to run around with arms flailing about like any other NPC. Running him over with a vehicle and leaving it on top also works. |

| 369 | * AnalProbing: They were both subjected to this courtesy of Emperor Zinyak. |
| 370 | * CoveredInGunge: Remember those Sceptic Avenger missions back in Stilwater? Turns out Bobby happened to be a victim of one of them. It was a really bad day to rent a convertible...and an even worse day to be ''in it''. |
| 371 | * {{Expy}}: Zach's voice and role could be compared to either [[Film/DodgeballATrueUnderdogStory Cotton [=McKnight=]]] or [[Series/MostExtremeEliminationChallenge Vic Romano]] (especially given how ''MXC'' was a GagDub of a wacky Japanese game show). However, Bobby doesn't fit the CloudCuckoolander role held by either Pepper Brooks or Kenny Blankenship. |
| 372 | * HappilyMarried: Zach had a happy life with his wife...until she died after Zinyak blew up the Earth. |
| 373 | * ObnoxiousInLaws: Sometimes, during Professor Genki activities, Zach talks about buying a gun as his mother-in-law is visiting, which implies that he doesn't get along with his mother-in-law and possibly contemplates killing her. |

| 444 | * AscendedFangirl: She is ecstatic to be working with the leader of the Saints and starring alongside them in Gangstas In Space. |
| 445 | * AxCrazy: It turns that Jenny has... anger management issues. |
| 446 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: In the first third of the DLC, she is nothing but polite and friendly even when she gets treated like crap. Then in Act 2, she kills a bunch of girls who were set to replace her, and in act 3, she kills the director who did nothing but insult her from the very start. |
| 447 | * CuteAndPsycho: Because of the [[CorruptTheCutie Boss' influence]], she evolves from a [[ShrinkingViolet meek actress]] to this. But while the Boss only wanted to teach her how to stand up for herself, she takes their lessons way too seriously and decides she'd better act like the Saints and kill everything she's angry with. She actually goes so far, even the freaking ''Boss'' is afraid of her by the end. |

| 449 | * TheDogBitesBack: After an entire movie of abuse from the asshole director, she runs him down with a freaking space ship! |
| 450 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Okay, what Andy got he deserved, but killing the actresses who were hired to replace her in a movie? That may have been a step too far, Jenny... |
| 451 | * DamselInDistress: During the first mission only. Once you free her, she becomes a valuable partner. |
| 452 | * ExtremeDoormat: Though the Boss helps her with this over the course of the DLC. |
| 453 | * GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: She plays a purple-skinned space babe in the movie. |
| 454 | * MeaningfulEcho: "I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch!" |
| 455 | * MoralityPet: The Boss is generally quite supportive of her, often encouraging her to stand up for herself and not take Zhen's bullshit. |
| 456 | * MurderIsTheBestSolution: When called as a homie, she will often talk about how happy she is now that she can just kill anyone who crosses her instead of grinning and bearing it like she used to. |
| 457 | * NavelDeepNeckline: Her outfit has a gap that starts at her cleavage and ends just past her navel. And it's not just her, but her entire race as well! |
| 458 | * PrettyPrincessPowerhouse: Plays one in the "Gangstas In Space" movie, but in real life, she's just a "normal" badass. (She does keep wearing her space princess costume when called as a homie, though.) |
| 459 | * PurpleIsPowerful: To the extreme. Everything from her skin to her hair is colored purple and she can easily blast through the blue "alien" mooks that appear in the DLC, even though they should be on even terms since she is supposed to be the same race as them. It helps that she has an OneManArmy backing her up, but she still gets a high number of kills on her own without any help from Boss. |
| 460 | * RayGun: Both Jenny and the Space Amazons (The enemies for the DLC, which are supposed to be the same alien race as she is.) use this as their weapon of choice. You don't get to use them outside of the second mission, however. Jenny does use some other ray gun when you call her as a homie, though. |

| 470 | |
| 471 | * AsianRudeness: He's Chinese-American, and the worst movie director ever. |
| 472 | * AssholeVictim: From the moment he first appears, his massive scumbag personality makes it extremely obvious somebody is going to murder him by the end of the DLC, and one can't help but look forward to the catharsis of it happening |
| 473 | * BadBoss: He has no qualm with killing his actors and crew off to make the movie look more realistic. |
| 474 | --> '''Andy''': What'd you expect, it was easier to use the extras to fly these things. Saves money and they were just expendable workers anyway. |
| 475 | * BerserkButton: He gets extremely pissed if the player keeps shooting his cameramen. In fact, this is the only way to get him upset enough to yell at Boss. |
| 476 | * DirtyCoward: He's willing to send tons of extras with live ammunition to kill Jenny and the Boss, but as soon as she flies towards him with an armed spaceship, he tries hightailing it out of there. And sure enough, he fails. |
| 477 | * GiftedlyBad: The movie being kind of shitty wouldn't be enough to qualify him for this trope, but him praising the Boss' BadBadActing while heavily berating Jenny's actually decent acting really shows how much he sucks as a director. |
| 478 | * HateSink: He's practically the living embodiment of the worst qualities a director can have, being a PrimaDonnaDirector that thinks he's the biggest shot in movie-making, a BadBoss that not only treats his actors like metaphorical garbage but sees them as literally expendable, killing several off just to make the action "realistic", and he's such an ass-kissing YesMan that The Boss can't stand hearing a word out of his mouth. |

| 482 | * OhCrap: As soon as he realizes Jenny is going to ram him with a spaceship, he tries running away from her as fast as he can. Sadly (for Zhen, at least), "as fast as he can" translates to "not fast enough". |
| 483 | * PrimaDonnaDirector: Seriously, this guy should never be put in charge of directing a film, he's that rude and violent. |
| 484 | * RunningGag: He says something different every time he starts filming a scene, besides "Action!" This includes "PLAY BALL!", "GET YOU SOME!", "AMAZE ME!", and "MAKE SOME MAGIC!", among other things. |
| 485 | * StrawMisogynist: By the end of the DLC, it becomes clear he hates ''all'' of the actresses and says he is going to make sure none of them ever get work again (the story acts as though the Boss is a man regardless of their actual gender). |
| 486 | * TooDumbToLive: Whoo boy... it's one thing to treat one actor better than another, and it's probably a good idea to ass-kiss the boss of a dangerous gang a little, especially if you're doing the DLC after either ending, but this guy doesn't get that praising the Boss, and then ''immediately'' turning around and hurling abuse at Jenny right in front of the Boss, isn't a good idea. Even when she starts making death threats at him and trying to run his ass down with a giant spaceship, he's more offended that she's gone off-script. |
| 487 | * YesMan: He constantly sucks up to The Boss and changes his directing based on their input. Again, not a bad idea, since it's THE BOSS, but his mistake is that the Boss is aware there's a line between cooperating and straight-up ass-kissing. |

| 491 | !!Jimmy Torbitson |
| 492 | |
| 493 | ->'''Played By:''' Creator/YuriLowenthal |
| 494 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''The Trouble With Clones'' |
| 495 | An amateur MadScientist whose experiments with recovered Saints DNA go horribly wrong in the DLC pack ''The Trouble With Clones'', requiring Pierce and the Boss to intervene. |
| 496 | |
| 497 | * ButtMonkey: To the extent that even [[NoRespectGuy Pierce]] gives him crap: |
| 498 | -->Pierce: "Sit the fuck down, Jimmy! Leave this to the professionals!" |
| 499 | * ChekhovsGunman: He is mentioned two times out of his proper DLC. |
| 500 | ** In ''Genkibowl VII'' opening cutscene (chronologically the first DLC), one of the news displayed by the news ticker tells that "local boy Jimmy Torbitson, age 17, wows record crowd at the Steelport Science Fair." |
| 501 | ** In the main storyline, he appears as a fanboy who ask the Boss to sign his issue of a ''Gangstas in Space'' comic book [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=0g4dNnbKWNE during a cutscene in the "Nyte Blade's Return" mission]]. Since the Boss doesn't seem to recognize him, ''The Trouble With Clones'' is obviously meant to happen later in the game's timeline. |
| 502 | * {{Expy}}: When the game has some official ties to Creator/AdultSwim, it's hard not to listen to the character's voice and ''not'' think of [[WesternAnimation/RobotChicken The Nerd]]. |
| 503 | * GadgeteerGenius: Just look at what he did with a can of Saints Flow... god only knows what he could do if he had access to some high-end lab equipment... |
| 504 | %%* TeenGenius |
| 505 | * UnreliableNarrator: When he's narrating the Boss' exploits, he constantly paints the Saints' opinion of him in a more favourable light than they actually display. Once the Boss gains the ability to hear his narration via superpowers, he tells him to shut up and just talk to him on the phone. |
| 506 | * WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: He somehow has access to a BeeBeeGun, a custom vehicle he calls the "Torbitron" and a rocket launcher. |
| 507 | * YouALLLookFamiliar: Pedestrians looking damn near ''identical'' to Jimmy can easily be found all over Steelport. |

| 510 | [[folder:Johnny Tag]] |
| 511 | !!Johnny Tag |
| 512 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''The Trouble With Clones'' |
| 513 | A lumbering brute who was cloned from the DNA of Johnny Gat. He sets off on a massive rampage across the city, forcing Boss and Pierce to track him down with his creator, Jimmy Torbitson. |
| 514 | |
| 515 | * CallBack: |
| 516 | ** Brings up [[VideoGame/SaintsRow2 "stripper poles"]] a couple times. |
| 517 | ** He also mentions Shogo Akuji, who was a major antagonist during the Ronin arc of the second game. Apparently, he remembers Aisha being killed, but not Boss and him taking revenge on Shogo. |
| 518 | ** Not to mention that he has the same hairstyle as Johnny Gat did in the earlier games. |
| 519 | * CameBackWrong: This thing is NOT Johnny Gat, that's for damn sure... |
| 520 | * ClothingDamage: His jacket is ripped, Hulk-style, showing off his freakish arms. |
| 521 | * HulkSpeak: See CameBackWrong... It's like Johnny, with a room temperature IQ. |
| 522 | * MadeOfIron: Being turned into a brute only made Johnny tougher, and he was already extremely tough anyway! |
| 523 | * SdrawkcabName: Well, last name at least. |
| 524 | * UnskilledButStrong: While he is a Brute-type character like Oleg, he doesn't have the same intelligence. The fact that they're a clone of Johnny Gat and a Brute means that he's set anyway, though. |
| 525 | %%* WalkingSpoiler |
| 526 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Doesn't appear in IV at all and never even gets mentioned. It's most likely because [[spoiler:Tag's presence may have caused some oddities when the real Gat's rescued]]. |

| 532 | !!Paul |
| 533 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''Videogame/SaintsRowIV'' | ''Enter the Dominatrix'' |
| 534 | A giant can of Saints Flow energy drink that was created by the simulation to torture Pierce in his simulation. Near the end of the game, Kinzie manages to reprogram him into an ally and he helps the Saints crash the simulation. |
| 535 | |
| 536 | * AnimateInanimateObject: A living (and giant) can of Saints Flow. |
| 537 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Paul is a giant can of Saints Flow. |
| 538 | * BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: Arrives during the finale of the game to help the Saints crash the simulation.]] |
| 539 | * FluffyTheTerrible: Paul, the giant demonic can of Saints Flow energy drink. This trope of course gets lampshaded by the Boss when they find out: |
| 540 | -->"Paul?! You named it PAUL?!" |
| 541 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: He helps the Boss during the final mission of the game.]] |
| 542 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: How the Boss and Pierce finish him off. |
| 543 | * KingMook: To the Saints Flow mascots. |
| 544 | * StealthPun: A giant can of Saints Flow named Paul. [[UsefulNotes/TwinCities St. Paul]]. |
| 545 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: If the red glowing eyes didn't tip you off that he was evil, the fact that he happens to be a giant demonic energy drink is a pretty good hint. |

| 552 | -->''"You don't call Roddy for help. He comes when he's needed." (Said immediately before getting the ability to call Roddy for help.)'' |
| 553 | |
| 554 | A professional wrestler and B-movie actor who did [[Film/TheyLive a film]] with Keith David. |
| 555 | |
| 556 | * AsHimself: He's basically there to re-enact that film he did with Keith. |
| 557 | * BadassNormal: When called as a homie, he fights without guns or superpowers. |
| 558 | * GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Does this to Keith to snap him out of the simulation Zin trapped him in. |
| 559 | * ManInAKilt: As expected. And as in RealLife, fictional Roddy won't tolerate anyone making fun of it. |
| 560 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's not made clear if he is the real Roddy Piper or a simulation AI. Likely the latter, since one of his idle quotes has him realizing that he might be dead after [[spoiler:Zinyak blew up the Earth]], which is HarsherInHindsight due to the real-life Piper dying two years after the game came out. |
| 561 | * PaintingTheFourthWall: His reason for why he's there? He needed the money. |
| 562 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: Justified since he actually is a wrestler. |

| 569 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''[[VideoGame/SaintsRow1 Saints Row]]'' |
| 570 | An unnamed Colombian drug cartel backing Los Carnales. Manuel Orejuela is their representative and acts as a liason between the Carnales and the Colombians. |
| 571 | ---- |
| 572 | * DirtyCoward: The Columbians you see in "[=McManus=] Says Hello" make a run for the ship they presumably sailed to Stilwater on the minute the Playa fires a shot. They're set to "Neutral Gang" and programmed to flee and despawn once out of sight. |
| 573 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: This cartel was only identified by nationality. |
| 574 | * TheGhost: Manuel making Luz a drug mule for the Colombians and Luz mentioning that [[FantasticDrug Loa Dust]] has been hurting their profits indicates that they're still active in 2011. |
| 575 | * GreaterScopeVillain: They supply the Carnales (and later the Saints) with weapons and drugs, but they never directly participate in Stilwater's gang wars. |
| 576 | * HeelFaceTurn: Again, for a given value of "Face"; once a deal was worked out and Angelo shows up to kill Manuel and the Saints that were at Turbulence, he and the Colombians drop the Carnales in favor of 3SS. |
| 577 | * LightIsNotGood: Manuel and the rank-and-file wear white clothes and... well, they're not exactly nice people. |
| 578 | * PaletteSwap: Their rank-and-file are simply Los Carnales "killas" in white clothes. |
| 579 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: No mention of them was made again after ''Saints Row 2''. |

| 587 | Creator of the universe and father of Satan. |
| 588 | ---- |
| 589 | * DeusExMachina: He pulls one off in four of ''Gat Out of Hell'''s endings. He can get Gat into Heaven despite his having killed thousands of people so Gat can reunite with Aisha, He can override Satan's banishment of Gat from Hell so Gat can take Satan's place, He can pull a CosmicRetcon to bring back Earth, or He can create a new homeworld for humanity (with a psychotic warrior race for the Saints to fight as a bonus). Or, [[TheyPlottedAPerfectlyGoodWaste He could give Gat all the answers to the universe,]] [[MundaneUtility like learning how to make the perfect Lobster Bisque.]] |
| 590 | * GodIsGood: He's actually a genuinely good guy, which is surprising given [[CrapsackWorld how the Saint’s Row universe]] is. |
| 591 | * MrExposition: He tells Gat just why Satan wanted Gat or the Boss to marry Jezebel. |
