Biography
Edit
Kiki and her sister run finances for the Syndicate[reference?], having increased the Syndicate profits tenfold in Steelport.[reference?] Also, it has been stated in several sources such as Xbox Magazine[Link?] and a brief interview with Sasha Grey[Link?], that the twins are Philippe's heiresses to the leadership of the Syndicate and Morningstar.[reference?]
According to Viola's voice actress Sasha Grey, the DeWynters are also Philippe's Personal Assistants, managing his personal life and day-to-day business affairs.[reference?]
Saints Row: The Third
Edit

Added by Da saint RowIt is known that Kiki and her sister are sent by Phillipe Loren to bail The Protagonist, Shaundi and Johnny Gat out of jail and bring them to him.[reference?]
The DeWynter sisters also become acquainted with Zimos, the oldest pimp in Steelport. Not much comes of the friendship (except for a painting, which the sisters had made of him) and all that has been revealed of their encounter is that Zimos ends up in a gimp suit and locked in the basement of one of Morningstar's human trafficking hubs.[6]
In the aftermath of the mission "Trojan Whores," Kiki is killed by Killbane after she and her sister express their desire to leave the Syndicate. Killbane had recently taken control of the organization after Phillipe Loren's death at the hands of the Saints. After calling Killbane by his real name "Eddie" for the last time, she begins to walk away. However, he grabs Kiki from behind, picks her up, and breaks her neck without a second thought. He throws her lifeless body to the ground. [7][8] This causes Viola to join the 3rd Street Saints, wanting revenge on Killbane. [9].
Trivia
Edit
- While she and her sister were identified as expert assassins in previous press releases, it was confirmed by Volition, Inc. that this was a misunderstanding and that they aren't expert assassins but instead only hire expert assassins.[10]
- In an early concept stage, Kiki and her sister Viola were originally Japanese twins called Natsuko and Yukako, nicknamed Suki and Yuki for short. They led their own all-female gang, to contrast with the original Morningstar concept of an all-male gang. The two gangs were merged to streamline the story, and the DeWynters were made caucasian to avoid the stereotype of "badass Asian chicks that are subservient to an older man".[11]
- Steve Jaros, lead writer for Saints Row: The Third, explained he "named [the twins] Viola and Kiki DeWynter, after RPG characters" that he and his friend played.[11]
- Viola and Kiki share many similarities with Vice King lieutenant, Tanya Winters, including a similar surname, hairstyle, and talents in running prostitution given that they both run well-funded and luxurious brothels.
- Despite many pictures and advertisements showing both twins having short, black hair; In game they have dark brown hair and wear it in very high ponytails. This was first done in the CG-trailer 'Power'.
- Kiki is the only antagonist to be murdered by another antagonist.
