Pierce is a character in Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third, Saints Row IV and Saints Row: Gat out of Hell.

As the face of the Saints in their promotion and marketing, Pierce knows a lot about what folks want to hear. Therefore, he was the natural choice to oversee the flow of information coming out of the White House. Of course, his job would be a lot easier if the President cared about how they were perceived by their constituents.

Biography

Saints Row 2

Pierce joins the Saints after seeing The Protagonist kill some Ronin members.^[16] The Protagonist assigns him specifically to collect as much information as he can on the Ronin.^[17]

Afterwards, Pierce tells The Protagonist and Gat about the Poseidon's Palace, in which the Ronin have stakes. They ignore his elaborate heist plan, much to his dismay^[18] and he's annoyed to find the news call him an "unknown accomplice". Pierce, Johnny, and The Protagonist agree that the money they robbed needs to be cleaned, so The Protagonist and Pierce go to purchase weapons and cars to sell to a fence.^[19]

Pierce ends up getting his hands on the passenger manifest from the Wardill Airport, and on that list is Shogo Akuji's father, Kazuo Akuji, who is coming to Stilwater after catching on about the heist at Poseidon's Palace. Pierce and The Protagonist head to the airport, only to find out Kazuo was gone.^[20] After failing to catch Kazuo at the airport, Pierce and The Protagonist head to a bar, then, at said bar, The Protagonist gets an anonymous call telling him that Jyunichi, the Ronin lieutenant that killed Aisha and hospitalized Gat, was at a teahouse. The Protagonist leaves the bar to eliminate Jyunichi.^[21]

After meeting Mr. Wong, who was looking for The Protagonist, Pierce drives him to the Saints Hideout, not knowing he was being followed. He, along with Gat, Mr. Wong, his Translator, The Protagonist, and the other Saints, fend off the Ronin's attack.^[22]

After the death of Carlos, Pierce helps The Protagonist against The Brotherhood and later against the Sons of Samedi, after helping The Protagonist and Shaundi repulse a Samedi assault on the Saints' hideout.^[23] He's annoyed to find his role in intelligence gathering and tactical work is being taken over by Shaundi, who turns out to be better at getting contacts^[24]^[6]^[25] : one time complaining they're "waiting for one of the 600 guys Shaundi used to fuck to give us a call" (at which point a call comes in). The Protagonist doesn't really care about his problems.^[6] One time, he's left angry to find Shaundi has taken credit for intelligence he told Shaundi about.^[25]

Pierce personally assists The Protagonist in wiping out the Samedi's drug helicopters^[6] and shaking down the Feed Dogs.^[24] He again works with The Protagonist and Shaundi together when a horde of junkies attack them for Loa Dust, this time having a pissing contest with Shaundi about who was doing more work.^[26]

Pierce is unlocked as a Homie after completing the The Brotherhood of Stilwater missions. Once all the gangs had been obliterated, the Saints make their way to take down Ultor, after Ultor's Masako tried to kill The Protagonist, Pierce, Gat, and Shaundi.^[27] The Protagonist tasks Pierce and Shaundi to blow up and cause mayhem on Ultor property while The Protagonist and Gat infiltrate The Pyramid.^[28] Pierce also gives The Protagonist a letter found at the Saints Hideout, which reveals that Ultor Execs are having a retirement party on a large yacht.^[29] After The Protagonist kills Dane Vogel, Pierce and Shaundi show up late to help due to problems with traffic.^[30]

Corporate Warfare

Pierce talks to Eric Gryphon about getting the Saints protection, because Dex, now head of Ultor Security, wants him dead.^[31]

Saints Row: The Third

In Saints Row: the Third, Pierce has become somewhat of a celebrity, doing commercials for "Saints Flow" energy drinks and is also mentioned by Jane Valderamma during radio news breaks. He's much more well dressed to represent his new found fame. As well, he is attempting to launch a music career at the point when the events of this game kick off.Template:Fact

At the start of When Good Heists Go Bad the Saints watch a commercial featuring Pierce, who is not present. In "We're Going to Need Guns", Pierce flies a helicopter to pick up weapons and a bomb from SNG, as well as Shaundi and The Protagonist. After Johnny Gat's death, Pierce gets promoted to new second-in-command.^[32]

Pierce believes that the Saints need to show that they are there to take over, so he and The Protagonist go and pimp out a car, then buy some clothing at Planet Saints, which ended up resulting in fighting a brute before retreating to Shaundi's Ex's Apartment.^[33]

Pierce calls The Protagonist, telling them that he has located a Morningstar building that he thinks the Saints can take over.^[34] After succeeding in taking over the building, Pierce decides they need to start taking over Steelport.^[35] They went on to buy a Friendly Fire from the Morningstar through ownership deeds, an apartment building, and then cleared two Gang Operations, as well a picking up some Sex Dolls, Pierce saying, "Oh that... a little hobby of mine."^[35] In the first Trafficking, when The Protagonist asks what they have to sell, he replies that they have T-shirts and lunchboxes. When The Protagonist asks if there is anything else Pierce replies, "Well, there's always my demo tape."^[36] The response afterwards depends on the voice of The Protagonist. Some voices sound pleased while a couple say that they "only have shit." After hanging around at the Broken Shillelagh, Pierce suggests that The Protagonist hit up Powder - a designer gun store owned by the Morningstar.^[37] Pierce joins The Protagonist and Shaundi to go deal with Loren, and kills him along with rescuing Oleg Kirrlov.^[38]

Pierce joins The Protagonist and Shaundi to rescue Kinzie Kensington from the Deckers' boat and also helps with rescuing Zimos.^[39] Pierce holds a party at the Saints HQ and Shaundi finds out about this, calling The Protagonist in rage and both make it to the HQ when Shaundi shows her disgust with Pierce. After claiming that they can't mourn Gat forever and being defended by The Protagonist, Shaundi storms out and leaves Pierce, Zimos and The Protagonist at the party. Pierce was almost killed by a hooker assassin with his own gun, being saved by The Protagonist and the 3 repel the attack.^[40] He later helps to rescue hos from the Morningstar boat by helicopter.^[41]

When STAG comes to Steelport, Pierce helps with dealing with both STAG and the Deckers. For dealing with the Deckers, he helps out with capturing the Learning Computer, using a tank much to the delight of Pierce and The Protagonist, and is with him during "http://deckers.die" when he goes into the simulation. Regarding STAG, he helps moving the Saints equipment out of the HQ preparing for an inevitable counter attack.^[42] He latter comes up with a plan in drawing out STAG, when Pierce calls up Viola and The Protagonist, mentioning that Nyte Blayde is their mascot, and so plans that is they dress up as actors in the film, they can snatch Josh away from STAG.^[43] He helps in defending the Saints HQ from STAG.^[44] When Shaundi is captured by Kia, The Protagonist comes up with a plan and so Pierce and Viola are taken by The Protagonist disguised as Cyrus to the Thermopylae as prisoners. Both are taken away to be processed by a soldier, and The Protagonist agrees to avoid detection, but angering Pierce in the process and earning him a butt from the soldier's rifle, sneering at The Protagonist as he was taken away. The Protagonist successful finds all 3 after being detected and escapes from the Thermopylae, destroying the ship in the process, although angering STAG and makes them instate marshal law.^[45]

Pierce fights along side Oleg and The Protagonist in taking down STAG and the Luchadores around the city, until The Protagonist gets called by Kia about blowing up the Steelport statue, Pierce called out that "You can't make it to both and you can't let Shaundi die. Fuck Killbane"^[46]

At the alternative ending of Saints Row: the Third, after killing Killbane, and others from a bomb explosion on Magarac Island and after The Protagonist destroys the Daedalus, The Protagonist declared Steelport a city-state and offers Pierce the job of Mayor, a position Pierce is enthusiastic to take on.^[47]

At the canonical ending of Saints Row: the Third, after saving Shaundi, Pierce is with The Protagonist and Shaundi. After STAG is forced to leave, Pierce asks The Protagonist "We go back to bangin' in Stilwater?", but The Protagonist simply states "Not yet" and Pierce is last seen filming Gangstas in Space, which he stated enthusiastically to The Protagonist at the start of the mission^[46] that they going to be doing a movie shoot for it.^[10]

The Trouble with Clones

File:Ui homie dlc a pierce.png

Pierce as Aisha

Pierce plays a major role in the DLC. In Weird Science he first meets The Protagonist at Smiling Jack's dinner as Jimmy tells them he has cloned Johnny Gat, naming him Johnny Tag. Telling Jimmy that the Professionals will handle it, he joins The Protagonist in an attempt to track the cloned Gat, first trying the local Friendly Fire's before heading to a badly damaged Technically Legal. Learning from the manager that Gat had indeed been there the two Saints learn from Jimmy that the police have surrounded the building and have to hold them off whilst Jimmy come to rescue them. Pierce and The Protagonist keep the police and Steelport Guard busy as they chase the cloned Gat through the streets of Steelport in Jimmy's mom's car until Gat brings down part of a bridge, blocking their way. Distraught the Saints say they'll never catch "Tag", however Jimmy reassures them that he has a plan.

The plan in Tour de Farce, much to Pierces disgust, has him disguised as Aisha so he can appear at Fan Appreciation Day which is taking place at the various Planet Saints in the city. Whist The Protagonist must ward off excited fans using the Swarmitron, a weapon that fires bees, Pierce sings "Bounce Like My Checks". With no luck at the first store, the group move on to a second store, this time Pierces singing attracts the Cloned Gat but they are attacked by a squad of Steelport Guards and Oppressor helicopters.Template:Fact Chasing "Tag" to Sunset Park The Protagonist rescues Tag and Jimmy brings in a cloned version of Aisha, believing that love would calm the enraged "Tag". For a moment the plan works until a swat helicopter shoots the Aisha clone, killing her and forcing "Tag" to flee.

Receiving a call from Jimmy in Send in the Clones, The Protagonist and Pierce visit Jimmy one more time, but the cloned Gat arrives, knocking out The Protagonist and kidnapping Pierce. The Protagonist is revived by Jimmy with an irradiated can of Saints Flow, giving them superpowers. Racing through the streets of the city, The Protagonist is ambushed by the police at Friendly Fire and a branch of Planet Saint before reaching Pierce and "Tag" at the Downtown Bridge.Template:Fact The superpowers burnt out from over use, The Protagonist is able to take out the Steelport Guard on the group before climbing aboard a Saints helicopter and destroying the remaining troops attacking the bridge. Joining Pierce atop the bridge, The Protagonist, with Pierce's assistance, manages to convince the cloned Gat that they are his friends.

Pierce singing "Bounce Like My Checks"

Saints Row IV

At the beginning of the game, Pierce accompanies The Protagonist in to disrupt a group of terrorists. When he sarcastically comments on Asha being a people person, she snaps at him, asking if they are going to fight terrorists or shoot a Saints Flow commercial, he seems offended.^[48]

After becoming President, The Protagonist names Pierce communications director. In The Saints Wing he is kidnapped by the same beam that takes Benjamin King.

Pierce's super costume, after unlocking his superpowers, resembles Kung Lao's outfit from the fighting games of Mortal Kombat, complete with the hat.^[49]

Pierce's nightmare prison in the virtual world involves him being attacked by the Saints Flow cans. The giant flow can, Dubbed "Paul" chases Pierce and The Protagonist until they stop him by taking control of the statue from Magarac Island.^[11]

Personality

He is similar to Dex, as he would use his brains rather than his brawn in most situations. He always wants to prove his worth to The Protagonist, and despite being a lieutenant, he wants more power and more responsibility for himself.

In Saints Row: The Third, he hasn't changed much, but he has embraced the new media profile that his gang has achieved. Although, his ego has been called into question by one of voices for The Protagonist. Female Voice 3 tells Pierce during one of the Heli Assault activities that he and Josh Birk have similar egos. He enjoys this and the Saints new fame, even being happy to tell The Protagonist that the Studio wants The Protagonist to do screentests for "Gangstas In Space"^[46], a movie in production based on Johnny Gat's comic.

Music

He loves classical music and soft hip-hop. During The Brotherhood mission "Thank You and Goodnight!" he changes the radio to Klassic FM, even if it is locked out of your station selection. Despite claiming that he can listen to whatever he wants while driving, it is still possible to change the station, and he does not comment upon it.

Pierce: "Ya hear that? That is music."

The Protagonist (Male Voice 1): "Pierce...when did you get a vagina?"
The Protagonist (Male Voice 2): "What the hell are we listenin' too?"
The Protagonist (Male Voice 3): "We're gonna have a conversation about your music tastes, Pierce..."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 1): "Pierce...is there something you're not telling me..."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 2): "You gotta be kiddin' me..."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 3): "Is this the softer side of Pierce?"

Pierce: "Yo fuck you, I'm drivin' we gonna listen to whatever the hell I want..."

— After switching the channel to 102.4 Klassic FM during the mission "Thank You and Goodnight!"

In the Sons of Samedi mission "Bonding Experience", after entering the Alaskan, he changes the station to the song "So Sick" by Ne-Yo and starts singing to it.

Pierce: "Now this what we need...some driveby music..."

The Protagonist (Male Voice 1): "Pierce...what the hell are we listening to?"
The Protagonist (Male Voice 2): "Are you shitting me?"
The Protagonist (Male Voice 3): "We gotta get you better taste in music bro..."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 1): "OK you're never talkin' shit about my music again..."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 2): "Is this the softer side of Pierce?"
The Protagonist (Female Voice 3): "You seriously listen to this?"

Pierce sings along to the entire song.

The Protagonist (Male Voice 1): "Oh God..."
The Protagonist (Male Voice 2): "Son, you're no Ne-Yo."
The Protagonist (Male Voice 3): "This is worse than getting shot..."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 1): "You're killing me Pierce."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 2): "Wow..."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 3): "*speaks Spanish*"

— While listening to Ne-Yo's "So Sick" during the mission "Bonding Experience"

By Saints Row the Third, The Protagonist seems to be much more accepting the idea of Pierce's "Singing". During the mission "Steelport Here I Am", The Protagonist and Pierce seem to hit it off and sing together to "What I Got" by Sublime.

This is unrelated to the Soprano achievement, and the The Protagonist does not sing this song.

"Bounce Like My Checks" - The Trouble With Clones

During Pierce's Loyalty Mission in Saints Row IV, he and The Protagonist sing "Opposites Attract" by Paula Abdul and later "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie. Unfortunately, Zinyak ruins the moment by singing the song in an opera fashion, sparking anger in both The Protagonist and Pierce.

Pierce's idle actions on The Spaceship include reading a Nyte Blayde magazine, sitting on the pool table, or lying down on the sofa.
- This also makes Pierce appear to be less helpful than the other Saints, as they tend to be doing something more productive at some point or another, while Pierce always seems to be relaxing.
- Pierce's laziness is further reinforced after completing his final City Takeover mission Embrace The Crazy, as he states to The Protagonist the work they did was given to him by Kinzie for Pierce to do, and not for The Protagonist.

The boss was a lot more hardcore back in the day. Managed to pull the Saints back from the grave. Didn't take any shit from anyone. Especially the Brotherhood, the Ronin or the Sons of Samedi. Hell, anyone that got in the way lost everything they had, not just their life. Still, it's too bad what happened to Carlos though. He was a good kid.

Shaundi and I had a relationship: I came up with all the ideas, she got all the credit. It never seemed fair. Guess it worked out in the end though, what with me bein' an international celebrity and all. Ha ha ha.

— Pierce Audio Log 2

Okay, maybe it didn't all work out the way I planned. You know, Shaundi got a TV show and every guy in the world wanting her. I was doin' commercials and barely gettin' my music off the ground. But still, now I'm the Deputy Chief of Staff for the President of the United States so that's gotta count for something. Though I don't think the approval ratings are gonna much matter anymore.
