The Sons of Samedi are a gang in Saints Row 2, Saints Row: Total Control and Saints Row IV.

Overview[]

The Sons of Samedi are a drug cartel who had already cornered the Caribbean Drug Underworld[6] and branched out to Stilwater after the fall of Los Carnales' drug rule. Influenced by Vodou and a history of military corruption in Haiti, the Sons of Samedi have developed a potent combination of spiritualism and fearlessness.[7] The gang is primarily made out of Stilwater University dropouts and defected members of Haitian guerilla groups.[7] Gang members are attracted to the gang out of respect for their methods: a desire for easy income from their drug trade, or through coercion.[Reference needed] Their primary source of income is a designer drug called "Loa Dust",[8] which is the drug of choice for many college students attending the local Stilwater University. The Colombian cartel that backed the Carnales proved unable to compete with the Sons of Samedi, especially now with the latter’s monopoly on the drug market in Stilwater through the widespread distribution of Loa Dust, and ended up losing most of their base.[9]

The Samedi own a large drug farm in Pleasant View[10] and multiple labs for producing Loa Dust scattered mainly throughout the west side of the city.[11] The Samedi also smuggle drugs using helicopters or by hiding the powder in fish that are shipped to the Stilwater docks.[12] The Samedi often deal drugs and recruit members at the Stilwater University.[13]

The Sons of Samedi come into conflict with the 3rd Street Saints when Playa declares it is time to challenge their control over Stilwater's lucrative, fluid, and extremely profitable drug market.[14] They are very ruthless and violent, using mutilation and murder as a punishment for failure and betrayal.[15]

Members proudly display green when in the streets, openly proving and showing their membership, willing to risk getting killed in order to represent the flag they love. Although they focus more on dealing and trafficking than everyday block warfare, the Sons of Samedi are still extremely formidable in war. Never shy to launch massive scale preemptive attacks or retaliate, when it comes to gangbanging the Sons of Samedi are true get downers. In melee fights, they use a capoeira-like combat style and a Machete.

Trivia[]

  • The gang is named after Baron Samedi, the vodoun lord of the dead. A deity also known for his immortalization by the Cold War-era Haitian dictator François Duvalier, whose regime commonly immortalized Vodou culture and beliefs, which may have possibly served as inspiration and possible groundwork for the gang’s identity and practices.
    • Loa Dust is named after the spirits of Haitian Vodou, Loa.
  • They are the only gang members who haven't made a bargain or alliance with Ultor.
  • The Sons of Samedi’s favorite radio station is 103.6 420 FM.
  • There is a "Whole Face" makeup option in Player Customization called "Son of Samedi".
  • The Samedi are the only gang in the series not to feature in all missions involving them.[16]
  • They are the only gang in Saints Row 2 who do not kill a notable member of the Saints, although they kidnap both Shaundi and Playa.[17]
  • The Sons of Samedi are a Haitian drug cartel akin to the notorious Haitian gang in Miami, FL called "Zoe Pound", and the "Jamaican voodoo posse" in the movie Predator 2 which in turn is based on actual Afro-Caribbean criminal organizations that terrorized New York City in the mid 80s to late 90s.
    • Their gang also has some inspiration from the Zeta Mexican cartel. The General has significant military assets up to and including a personal Bulldog for light armor support as well as using religious indoctrination to further their cause.
  • The Sons of Samedi appear in Shaundi's Loyalty mission in Saints Row IV.[18] But the clothes seemed to be different than SR2.
  • The Sons of Samedi have a trailer.[19]
