Description

Ultor's trademark logo is a stylised side-view of a continuous mining machine blade^[1], coloured orange, which is present at numerous locations around Stilwater.

In Saints Row Ultor Unlimited is a major clothing company^[2] with the naming rights to the Ultor Dome, but doesn't seem to have any other products or services.

Over the course of several years between then and Saints Row 2, they diversify into other industries and become the most influential corporation in the city. In addition to clothing, their business interests include real estate development^[3], power utilities^[4], cell phones^[5], pharmaceuticals^[6], packaged food ^[7], casinos ^[8], weapons manufacturing (kept under wraps at The Pyramid)^[9] and radio stations^[10]^[11].

Much of this growth is spearheaded by Dane Vogel, a highly ambitious and ruthless young executive who quickly becomes the company's CEO. Of particular interest to Vogel is the redevelopment of Saint's Row District; Ultor spends $383,781,187^[12] to change the impoverished sector into a modern city, sprawling with glass towers and luxurious hotels. The Saints Row Church is turned from the 3rd Street Saints hideout into the "Stilwater Memorial Church", an upscale tourist trap which serves as a symbol against all gangs and corruption in Stilwater.^[13] In the same district, Ultor constructs the Phillips Building to serve as its new headquarters.

After surviving assassination attempts by the Ultor Masako, the Saints wage war on Ultor and destroy their prized top-secret laboratory The Pyramid.^[9] When Ultor's board of directors threaten to fire Vogel, he successfully manipulates the Saints into killing the entire board during a corporate yacht party, after which Vogel becomes Ultor's Chairman.Template:Fact.

An unused homie conversation between Phillipe Loren and Julius Little reveals that between the events of Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third, Ultor had been engaging in some rather "shady" business behind the backs of the 3rd Street Saints; ultimately, but indirectly, helping to pave the way for the events at the Stilwater 1st National Bank to occur.
