Joseph Price is a character in Saints Row.
- These streets were ours before those bitches from the Row showed up! And when they stepped, what did we do? They fucked up our race, and we just took it. They fucked up our deliveries, and we just took it. And now they killed my Uncle, and who knows what the fuck they did to Donnie. Now, I'm only gonna say this once. We're not gonna sit here and fuckin' take it. [...] Light 'em up, boys. We're burning Saint's Row to the ground.
- — Joseph Price, declaring war on the 3rd Street Saints.[5]
Biography[]
Price runs the Westside Rollerz alongside his uncle, William Sharp.[6] Price serves as the brawn, while Sharp is the brains of the operation, who makes the plans.[7] After his uncle's death, Price takes full control of the Rollerz.[8]
He is a skilled driver and commands the respect of all of his subordinates. The only people Price shows any semblance of respect for are his uncle, William Sharp, and Donnie, the Rollerz chief mechanic.
After Playa kills his uncle in retaliation for Lin's murder,[8] Price takes over the Rollerz and immediately seeks revenge for his uncle's death. He commands most of the Rollerz' forces to attack Saint's Row, trying to burn it to the ground.[9] However, the Saints resist the invasion and wipe out Price's thugs,[5] with Price only barely being able to escape.[10]
Soon after, the Saints attack Price's mansion and take control of it, prompting a furious Price to call Playa and challenge him to a one-on-one duel outside Foreign Power. However, when Playa shows up to the meeting, Price ambushes him by trying to run him over with a Goliath truck and by having the few remaining Rollerz attack Playa. After killing the Rollerz, Playa chases after Price and attacks his truck, eventually causing Price to lose control of it. Price's truck explodes after he crashes, killing him in the process.[3]
