Template:Infobox gang The 3rd Street Saints, also known as the Saints, are The Protagonist's gang in the Saints Row series. The 3rd Street Saints are represented by a fleur-de-lis and the color purple.

Origin

Julius Little was a man who grew up in Sunnyvale Gardens together with his best friend Benjamin King. After the Carnales, led by Alejandro Lopez came to Stilwater, took over the city and 'abused' Sunnyvale Gardens, Benjamin called all the people of Sunnyvale, including Julius, together and started a revolt against the Carnales. This gang would be known as the Vice Kings. However, Julius didn't like the way the Vice Kings worked and dropped his flags.[1] He thought King could at least keep order in the city[2] but his grip slipped: Los Carnales regrouped and the Westside Rollerz were formed.[1] After the district to where Julius fled, Saint's Row, was made as a battlefield for the three gangs, Julius gathered all the people he could find to the old Church on 3rd Street.[3]

While the Vice Kings had become just another crime gang, Julius naively believed he could learn from that failure and keep control.[2]

Julius Little originally wanted the 3rd Street Saints color to be green.[4]

Saints Row

Founded by Julius Little, the Third Street Saints operated out of a tiny district in Stilwater called Saints Row.[sic] Their operation was small, but their dreams were big…
— History of the Saints: The Early Saints[4]

File:Gang Downfall 2.jpg

Downfall of all three gangs.

The Protagonist joins the Saints after Julius and Troy save him during a turf war[3]. Julius quickly realises that The Protagonist is uncontrollable and doesn't care about the damage they cause. [2]

Vice Kings

Main article: Vice Kings

The Saints manage to demoralize the Vice Kings a bit by taking control of Prawn Court,[5] a turf under the control of Tanya Winters. The Protagonist saves Aisha's sister from the Vice Kings when they try to force her into a prostitution racket.[6] Aisha, Johnny's girlfriend, also is an informant for the Saints and gives them a lot of info about the Vice Kings.[7] Johnny Gat and The Protagonist attacked Tanya at an abandoned police station, but they get ambushed by enforcer Anthony Green who was waiting for them. Johnny gets smart with Tony and insults him which results in him getting shot in the leg. Johnny then pulls out a knife and stabs Tony's foot. This was the perfect moment for The Protagonist to escape out a window. Johnny is then taken back to Green's apartment where he is tortured.[8] The Saints set up a plan to save him, While Tanya is blowing Warren Williams, the second-in-command of the Vice Kings, The Protagonist hijacks her limo to find the location of Johnny.[9] The Protagonist rescues Johnny and ends up taking out Green as well. After all this, Warren starts a rebellion by overthrowing King and trying to kill him.[10] Julius gets a call from King and sends The Protagonist to save him.[11] Benjamin King is saved and Warren's car is wrecked when he tried to flee. Tanya kills Warren and takes control over the Vice Kings. Julius then talks to King and tells him that his gang is through and he can either walk away or die.[12] King decides to stay until he puts down Tanya and ends the Vice Kings. So The Protagonist, Johnny, and King go to King's Penthouse and give Tanya a barrage of bullets until she is sent out the window where King steps on her fingers and sends her to her death by a 30 story fall.[13]

Los Carnales

Main article: Los Carnales

Dex was in control of taking down the gang. Dex asks The Protagonist to steal a truck for him so he can use that truck as a Trojan Horse to infiltrate Los Carnales.[14] The truck would be loaded with Saints, and then driven to a factory used by the Carnales. After the Saints take it over, they find a note, saying that Hector Lopez would have a meeting with their Colombian suppliers in Poseidon Alley.[15] Hector was assassinated by The Protagonist, along with all the witnesses.[16] Later, during an attack of the Carnales to Saint's Row, Carnales enforcer Victor Rodriguez was killed.[17] The Saints also met with Colombian Manuel Orejuela. The Colombians were allied with the Carnales, but they knew the Carnales were going to be destroyed.[18] Manuel gave Julius the location of the Carnales' hideout, where Dex and The Protagonist went to take out Hector's brother Angelo Lopez who was now in control.[19] However, Angelo got away and planned to leave Stilwater by plane. But the plane was destroyed by The Protagonist before he could take off.[20]

Westside Rollerz

Main article: Westside Rollerz

Lin went undercover in the Rollerz to find out about their plans. First, The Protagonist has to steal a truck which is loaded with cars that the Rollerz are going to use for races.[21] The cars are then loaded with explosives, that detonate if the cars get hot. After that The Protagonist finishes the delivery.[22] Then, Lin and The Protagonist stage the rescue of Rollerz chief Mechanic Donnie.[23] Lin meets with leader Joseph Price and financer William Sharp. Sharp finds out that Lin is a spy, so he kidnaps her and The Protagonist, shoots both of them while they were in the trunk of his car, and then dumps them into the water.[24] The Protagonist escapes, but Lin does not. Sharp was chased down and killed by The Protagonist.[25] Price was enraged about this, and he attempted to run over The Protagonist with a truck.[26] This was a mistake though, because the truck is blown up by The Protagonist.[27]

Epilogue

After the Saints conquered Stilwater, The Protagonist was made Julius' right hand man. However, Julius was swiftly incarcerated by Police Chief Monroe. [28] Monroe was a corrupt cop though, and he promised the Saints that he would free Julius if they would kill Marshall Winslow.[29] The Protagonist captured Winslow's campaign bus and put it on a train track, where it was crashed. Monroe was not a man of his word and wanted the Saints to do more. To get out of it and send a message to whoever Monroe was working them, they assassinated him on his way to Winslow's funeral. [30]

Alderman Richard Hughes took the message: he called The Protagonist for a meeting, claiming Monroe was acting on his own initiative and that he'd free Julius.[31]

Aftermath

File:Explosing of the yacht.jpg

Explosion of the yacht.

Unknown to most of the gang, Troy was an undercover cop. Dex worked it out but didn't inform the gang: he left after being offered a job at the Ultor Corporation. Unwilling to bust all of his friends in the Saints, Troy asked Julius to convince Gat and The Protagonist to drop their flags. In exchange, Hughes had promised he'd give them all pardons.[32]

The Protagonist met Hughes on his yacht. Hughes said that the Saints had enabled him to become Mayor, that they'd meant he could destroy and rebuild Saints Row in the name of stopping gang violence ("until you came along I was [seen as] displacing poor people"), and that in order for this to work, he was going to kill The Protagonist. Before he got the chance, the boat exploded:[31] Julius had planted a bomb to get rid of both of them Protagonist. Troy was horrified but Julius dismissed it as the only way.[31] The Protagonist survived but was left in a coma.

Saints Row 2

After waking up from a coma and escaping from prison, the Boss found a very different Stilwater than the one they left. The city now belonged to the Ultor Corporation

Reviving the Saints

File:Reviving the Saints.JPG

The Protagonist giving a speech.

The Protagonist was in a coma in the Stilwater Penitentiary for years. Troy became the new Chief of Police, using his influence to keep The Protagonist alive; Gat was arrested after trying to kill Troy and charged with over 300 murders, though Troy made sure he'd be safe in jail. As the Saints fell apart, three new gangs had moved into Stilwater: the Sons of Samedi, the Brotherhood and the Ronin. Saints Row itself was gentrified and the church became a symbol of 'rebirth', with Julius as its caretaker.

Eventually The Protagonist woke up from his coma, and escaped from prison with the help of fellow inmate Carlos, the younger brother of an old Saints member. [34] The Protagonist then freed Johnny during his trial[35], established a new Saints Hideout in Bavogian Plaza, and recruited three new lieutenants. The Saints were reborn.[36]

They target a bank, attempting to airlift the vault out of it, but the plan goes wrong, and the Saints are arrested and incarcerated.[84] In prison, they learn about how an international crime agency called The Syndicate, led by Phillipe Loren, has taken over many of the banks (including the one the Saints struck) and bribed the Stilwater police force. Loren smuggles the Saints' leader (The Protagonist), Johnny Gat, and Shaundi out of jail and onto his private jet. While in-flight, he tells them they will be allowed to live if they turn over two-thirds of their territory. The leader of the Saints (The Protagonist) rejects this offer, and a gunfight breaks out.

With the Syndicate in full control of Stilwater, the Saints relocate themselves to the city of Steelport. Steelport is a city that was created as factories flourished with little city planning, and since has suffered from economic failure,Template:Fact contrasting the glamour of Stilwater. The Syndicate has already begun to take control of some parts of Steelport, focusing on vices like gambling and prostitution. To extend their reach, the Syndicate had divided their control of the city through three gangs. The Morningstar, led by Loren directly, are typically European men with impeccable taste, selling guns and handling the prostitution rings.Template:Fact The pro wrestler Killbane controls the Luchadores who deal with selling steroid drugs and gambling.Template:Fact The Deckers, led by teenage hacktivist Matt Miller, are computer geniuses, and handle the money laundering.Template:Fact The Saints see the opportunity to take control of Steelport from these groups, and engage them to start to take control of the downtrodden city.Template:Fact As the gang war intensifies, a fourth group, the Special Tactical Anti-Gang (STAG) Unit from the government attempts to halt any gang activity whether it be the Saints or the Syndicate.

The Saints started their recruiting process and recruited four new lieutenants: Zimos, the oldest pimp in Steelport, Angel De LaMuerte, an ex tag-team wrestler, Kinzie Kensington, an ex-FBI intelligence agent, and Oleg Kirrlov, an 8-foot giant who is the template of the Brute clones[86] and enjoys playing chess.[87]

They proceed up to the top where Loren is, but Loren tries to escape by express elevator but is crushed in the lobby by a giant Ball statue ridden by The Protagonist.[86] The end of Morningstar comes when Viola and Kiki's mission with "Hooker Assassin's" fails, Kiki declares they are quitting and Killbane breaks her neck which leads to Viola defecting over to the Saints, ending the Morningstar.[88]

Epilogue

Depending on what choice was made in the endgame. One of two outcomes occur for the Saints.

If Killbane is killed, The Protagonist declares Steelport a city state under the Saints' control and dares anyone to come and take it from them.

If Shaundi, Viola, and Mayor Reynolds are saved, then the Saints continue to do things corporately, Steelport is still in their control but in a less then tyrannical light as the Saints are viewed as heroes. The Protagonist goes through with making the movie that was discussed earlier which ends with them fighting an actor in a Killbane outfit.

Saints Row IV

Counter Terrorist operation

After the events of the Save Shaundi ending in Saints Row: The Third, the Saints embarked on an international assassin job on ex-STAG leader Cyrus Temple, who teamed up with terrorists in the Middle East after being booted off the military by the United States Government. Their mission was to kill Cyrus and prevent him launching a nuke towards Washington D.C. The Protagonist killed Temple, and disarmed the nuclear warhead in the sky, destroying it and saving Washington.[94]

Presidency

The Saints earned the adoration of America after The Protagonist's daring move to save Washington from Cyrus' nuke. The Protagonist was later elected President of the United States, thus the Saints entered into government, with actor Keith David acting as Vice President. The Cabinet consisted of Saints gang members.

The Zin

Five years after the assassination of Cyrus Temple, an alien empire known as the Zin launched an invasion of earth, and their leader Zinyak arrived at the White Crib and began abducting The Protagonist and their cabinet.[95]

After the destruction of the earth[96] - leaving The Protagonist the sole world leader [97] - the Saints began to take down the Zin Empire through with the simulation and rescuing their cabinet.[98] After rescuing the cabinet, the Saints began putting together a plan to take down Zinyak. They were briefly betrayed by Keith David who made a deal with Zinyak to try and kill The Protagonist with the promise of Zinyak restoring earth. The Protagonist managed to get sense into Keith through Roddy Piper and managed to rescue Kinzie Kensington.

Epilogue

The Saints managed to crash Simulation 31 and The Protagonist entered Zinyak's headquarters and confronted him in his throne room. The two faced off with each other, and the Saints arrived to help The Protagonist take down Zinyak. The Protagonist then ripped off Zinyak's head, broadcast to the whole Zin Empire, and then took over the Zin as their new leader.[99]

If all homie loyalty missions have been completed, The Protagonist discovers that the Zin have the ability to use time travel, so they can visit earth before its destruction and change the shape of history. If the loyalty missions aren't complete, the Saints Empire is created, and the Saints head off to find themselves a new homeworld.

Trivia

  • In order to become a member of the 3rd Street Saints, prospects must be Canonized, which is the same as the real life street gang pactice of being jumped-in in which prospects are beaten by several gang members. Canonization is also a real-life religious act in which someone (Usually deceased) becomes a saint. The Protagonist is Canonized at the beginning of Saints Row and Johnny Gat is seen canonizing new members at the ending of "Three Kings". Sometimes when being attacked random female Saints states their canonizing was worse.
  • Mission Beach in the Saint's Row District is the only neighborhood under the control of the 3rd Street Saints at the time The Protagonist joins the gang.[100]
  • The Saints are featured under S in The ABCs of Saints Row.[101]

Saints Row

  • Instead of purple, the 3rd Street Saints' color was originally planned to be green.[4]
    • This was explained further by one of the writers of the Saints Row series, Steve Jaros, in a livestream interview with Destructoid one week prior to Saints Row: The Third's release: during development of Saints Row, Rockstar Games released their reveal trailer for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and because Volition, Inc. did not want to be compared to them (the main gang of San Andreas, the Grove Street Families, wore the color green), they changed the color of the 3rd Street Saints. Ironically, the color was changed to purple which is the color of the protagonist's gang's rivals, the Ballas, in San Andreas[102]
  • The first Saints were former Vice Kings that were led by Julius Little.[1]
  • In the early days of Stilwater, Saints Row was actually filled with churches. Property renovation removed all but the one used by the Saints.Template:Fact

Saints Row 2

  • The Gang that calls itself the "3rd Street Saints" from the Saints Row 2 onward is actually an almost entirely new gang, as the original gang founded by Julius fell apart after The Protagonist fell into a coma. The Protagonist and Johnny Gat are the only connection to the original Saints from the first game.
  • The 3rd Street Saints cannot take control of the Saint's Row, Stilwater Prison, Nuclear Power Plant Districts, or Mount Claflin.
  • The Saints are continuously underestimated by rival gangs, to the point of that they are thought to be harmless and easy to destroy.[103][104][105] The only gang who tried to recruit them as allies rather than immediately engaging them was The Brotherhood.
  • There is a glitch where the Saints could become your enemies. This is done by taking out the disk as the host of a co-op game after starting FUZZ. A cop is then recruited as a homie and the Saints become enemies.

Saints Row: The Third

  • All the Saints from Steelport wore purple already, even prior to joining the gang, apart from Oleg who was nude when he was first introduced [86] and Josh Birk who never wears purple at any point in the game.
  • None of the members of the 3rd Street Saints at the beginning of Saints Row are still in the gang at the end of Saints Row: The Third.
  • Since the Saints accepted that Johnny Gat was killed,[85] Shaundi and Pierce are the second longest running members of the Saints that are still active, behind The Protagonist.

Saints Row IV

  • The Protagonist and Johnny Gat are the only earliest known Saints members to appear in the first game and appear until Saints Row IV.
  • The Protagonist, Johnny Gat, Troy and Dex are the only known earliest members not to be killed during the main games.
  • Johnny Gat is the longest running Saint active despite Zinyak abducting him for 5 years, while The Protagonist is second (both appearing in all games in the series), and Shaundi and Pierce are the third longest running Saints (both being present from the Saints Row 2 onwards).
    • Shaundi and Pierce are the longest running Saints to not have sustained any kinds of notable/serious injury, as The Protagonist has been put into a coma, and the only Saints Row game Johnny Gat has not been injured badly is Saints Row IV.
  • Lin and Wheel Woman were the first known women to join the Saints, while Shaundi is the second and the longest running active woman.
  • Kinzie is the only Lieutenant introduced in Saints Row: The Third who is still alive and active.
  • Matt Miller is the youngest Saint ally that is active, as he's only 16 in Saints Row: The Third[106], and most of Saints Row IV takes place at least 5 years later, which would make him at least 21.
  • The Saints presence in Simulation 31 is heavily reduced, as most of the Saints hideouts have been changed for the worst (the main Saints HQ being destroyed for example, and Planet Saints has been changed to Planet Zin). Fans and Saints can still spawn in Saint controlled areas however, and Planet Zin still sells Saint themed clothes.
  • Blue becomes a secondary colour of the Saints as it is used to demonstrate Saint controlled technology, which may include Hotspots, Rifts, lights and even the sky becomes blue when exiting a Zin controlled area and moving into a Saints controlled neighborhood.
    • Outside the Simulation, the Saints also wear blue Zin Spacesuits and The Ship has the same blue lighting as in the Simulation, and in the ending cutscene of "Grand Finale Part Four", the Zin occupied ships interiors lights change to blue.
    • The Saints still use the colour purple, as inside the Simulation, Pierce, Shaundi and Kinzie still wear their outfits from Saints Row: The Third (which have varying amounts of purple in their attire) and with the exceptions of Keith and Benjamin, all Super Homies wear purple coloured Super outfits. The Saint themed vehicles also retain purple in their colour scheme, and Saints spawned in Saint controlled areas still wear purple outfits.
  • Most of the Saints status are unknown and presumed dead, as Oleg was on Earth,[96] and the status Viola, Angel and Zimos is unknown, although Kinzie says that Viola was dead.[107]
  • It is unknown if the Saints were an still active gang or if the cabinet Saints were still gang members before "The Real World", because when Shaundi talks to Matt Miller while recruited together, she indirectly refers to herself as a "ex-gang member" when talking about the 2 working together.[108]
  • By the end of Saints Row IV, the 3rd Street Saints and the Zin Empire become the Saints Empire, with The Protagonist as their leader.[110][111]
    • The Saints Empire logo is a purple Zin Empire logo, and is available as a Avatar clothing item on X-Box Live.
