The 3rd Street Saints

The 3rd Street Saints were formed to combat the more violent and destructive gangs that rose 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 win the adoration of America when they prevent a nuclear terrorist attack on Washington D.C., only to be drawn into an intergalactic war against the colossal Zin Empire.
