Contents

DescriptionEdit

Agent Kinzie Kensington initially appeared in the CG "Power" trailer that debuted at E3 2011,[7] but was not named until lead writer Steve Jaros did a developer commentary over the trailer a month later.[4]

Kinzie was a member of the FBI until she was dismissed for possessing what was claimed to be "manufactured evidence". The members of the press claim her to be paranoid.[8] She is also somewhat of a conspiracy theorist (though in some cases her theories are actually well founded), such as the existance of the Daedalus, the threat of Matt Miller, and the Syndicate.

Kinzie Kensington also has a wide range of technical skills as was displayed in the Deckers.DIE trailer, she was displayed as being a computer genius capable of "broadcasting (to The Protagonist) your sub-conscious into the Decker user net" in order for The Protagonist to battle with Matt Miller.

BiographyEdit

Saints Row: The ThirdEdit

Kensington was originally an intelligence agent for the FBI. She was investigating the Syndicate and planning to out them as an underground criminal organization, but the Deckers framed her to make her look like she had been selling secrets to Mossad and moonlighting as a dominatrix[9], her employment was terminated and she was captured by the Deckers. The Saints rescued her later from a barge operated by the Deckers.

She and Pierce are assigned to the Deckers, which was hinted at before release due to the amount of time that they seem to be together in the http://Deckers.Die trailer.[4]

Kensington is a paranoid agoraphobic computer expert who is found tied up on the Deckers' Ship, she is assigned to take down the Deckers and its leader Matt Miller who constantly believes he is superior to her, which proved to be his undoing when Kensington and the Boss teamed up to defeat him in the end. Her technical skills are unmatched and her time in the FBI gave her extremely critical and sometimes top secret info, such as The Protagonist's real name, STAG's "Learning Computer", and that the Deckers hid the NEMO chair at the Burns Hill Reactors. In fact, she is rarely seen without her laptop.

Her capture by the Decker and her "inside view" from the FBI, which gave her plenty of hidden and top secret information, may have led to Kinzie's extreme agoraphobia. In fact, her agoraphobia is so severe that she'll rarely venture out. When she does, it's only to a small restaurant, Smiling Jack's, nearby her "Inner Sanctum". Once at Smiling Jack's, The Protagonist finds her hiding under a table. Her social skills have degenerated to such a level that she doesn't even know how to wash her hair.[10]

TriviaEdit

  • Kinzie Kensington's voice actress was originally thought to be Lindsay Lohan after an article in GameSpot erroneously reported it as such, until Volition, Inc.'s community manager, V-Singular, confirmed it was Natalie Lander.[3] The GameSpot article has since been fixed.[2]
  • Kinzie's "inner sanctum" is located in the Salander neighborhood. This is a reference to Lisbeth Salander, the hacker protagonist from Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy. Salander and Kinzie both prefer technology to human interaction.
  • After completing City Takeover of the Deckers territory, Kinzie will call you claiming to have gotten pancakes in an attempt to be normal.[11]
  • Her sexuality has been talked about multiple times:
    • Kinzie's apparently pretty fond of technological things, maybe even a little too much, which is revealed when The Protagonist tells her that she needs to get laid, in which she replies that "electronics are good for that too."
    • Kinzie's safeword is "Tea Cup".[12]
    • Among other odd things, she owns a gimp mask on a mannequin head and her own Penetrator used by Pierce to mess with the Protagonist in "Learning Computer". [13]
    • She has one more large dildo at her warehouse. It's on the first floor, behind a large old machine. Sticking out of a bag. However it should be noted that this "dildo-in-a-bag" is an "easter egg", one of several hidden in most of the games buildings by the developers.
    • Oleg reveals that he has feelings for Kinzie, though it is unknown if she feels the same way.[14]
    • Kinzie had a short-lived romance with Burt Reynolds and when he wants her back, she rejects him. This is revealed in their discussion when they're both present as homies.
    • When the player "Bo-dukes" into a car, she can say: "I used to have a boyfriend that did that".
  • Kinzie claims that her favorite kind of music is Hardcore Gangsta Rap.[15]
  • Kinzie claims to know your Protagonist's true identity when talking about how everything about everyone is on the internet while doing one Heli Assault mission, but just as she's about to tell him, The Protagonist says that he wants it to stay undisclosed.
  • During the mission STAG Film, Kinzie states that she can steal the Daedalus' blueprints and in a few years the Saints can make their own, which prompts The Protagonist to say that he loves her.
  • In the CG "Power" trailer, Kinzie has dark hair, and wears a black hoody, in the game she has red hair and sports a purple hoody.[reference?]
  • She is the only character with a history of law enforcement that the Saints were aware of beforehand.
  • Male Voice 1 for the Protaganist seems to have a fondness and protectiveness for Kinzie. He willingly comes to her aid to cover her mulitple times in the game when she is pursed by the Deckers.
    • He says things like, "You've got nothing to worry about Kinzie, you got Saints with you now."
  • All voices have limited patience for Kinzie's way of speaking when it comes to technology and will agree to do things for her saying, "It's just easier to say yes than understand you." Kinzie will say, "what was that?" To which the Protaganist will quickly backtrack, showing the Protaganist may slightly fear Kinzie.
  • As a homie, at times Kinzie will become distracted, claiming that she is too busy thinking about identity theft.
  • At any point when recruited as a homie, Kinzie will state that motion-controlled gaming systems, such as, Playstation Move, Kinect, and Wii, are in her opinion actually corporate-controlled monitoring devices.
  • Kinzie has marijuana on a coffee table in her kitchen. She is surprisingly still very high strung.
  • It is possible to unlock Kinzie as a Homie before the "Return to Steelport" mission. She can also be recruited as a homie before the player has rescued her from the Deckers and can be recruited as homie during rescue itself, resulting in the appearence of "two" Kinzie's (the homie and the one being rescued).
  • During Kinzie's rescue in "Return to Steelport", if the player attacks the barge from a boat (such as the Commander), Kinzie can be heard speaking as she does she were recruited as homie.
  • Kinzie is the only one of the four new lieutenants present at the scene at the end of Return to Steelport to be possibly younger than the Protagonist, being around in her mid-20s.

  • Kinzie knew about Zombie Lin, as Pierce found a news clipping about Lin in her warehouse.[16] It is not revealed whether she knows anything about Zombie Carlos.
  • Kinzie's character could be a reference to Agent Kensington from the 1997 movie Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. They both wear glasses and they both come across as "nerdy" when compared to the protagonist.
    • Her last name may also be a reference to the Kensington Security Lock [17] found on most laptops and computers.
