Veteran Child (character)

Veteran Child is a character in Saints Row 2 and Saints Row IV.
==Overview==
===Saints Row 2===
Veteran Child is a Sons of Samedi lieutenant, a DJ for the nightclub On Track and a "triple-platinum" DJ for 89.0 Generation X. He's also the main Samedi drug dealer and keeps Stilwater University supplied. Despite working with him for several years, he has a mutually hateful relationship with Mr. Sunshine, whom he is deeply afraid of. He isn't as ruthless as The General or Sunshine, and is shocked when The General orders him to cut off someone's hand because they might be stealing from their profits.
He isn't a student but admits he visits Stilwater University "for pussy". He once had a relationship with Shaundi, and while they were high, he mentioned to her where the Samedi own a drug farm.
Veteran Child is initially unaware of the Saints taking out his drug dealers at the University. The General orders him to find out what happened and if a bagboy was skimming, to cut their hand off.
When Playa wipes out the Samedi farm, The General and Mr. Sunshine confront Veteran Child and he admits having told Shaundi about it. The General tells him to kill Shaundi, or Mr. Sunshine will burn him alive. Veteran Child heads up to the Saints headquarters, and takes Shaundi hostage before escaping. He lures Playa to Cocks to be ambushed by the Samedi, but Playa manages to escape and confronts Veteran Child at On Track, where Veteran Child uses Shaundi as a human shield. Playa uses flash bangs to daze Veteran Child, then kills him.
After his death, the Ultor Corporation buy 89.0 Generation X and rename it 89.0 Ultor FM.
===Saints Row IV===
A simulated version of Veteran Child is featured in Shaundi's simulation in Saints Row IV.. Here he is holding Fun Shaundi and using her as a Human Shield, reenacting the Saints Row 2 mission "Veteran Child". Using a Stun Gun, Playa stuns him and Shaundi. Playa then kills Veteran Child only to have Zinyak resurrect him into a new copy that creates copies of himself when killed. Kinzie Kensington then spawns a Disintegrator which allows Playa to kill all of the virtual copies of Veteran Child.
He is then featured in Shaundi's loyalty mission, Psychosomatic. Here he sends out waves of minions after Shaundi, Playa and Fun Shaundi while taunting the Shaundis. After the crowd has been completely defeated the Virtual DJ Veteran Child then sends out superpowered clones of himself to attack the group. Playa defeats these clones as the two Shaundis manage to disable the shield protecting the original Virtual DJ Veteran Child. Playa then attempts to finish Veteran Child off but right before he is able to do so Veteran Child splits into two copies, each with a gun to one of the Shaundis' heads. Veteran Child then attempts to make Playa choose which one lives but then both Shaundis take the guns pointed at their heads and then proceed to kill both Veteran Childs.
After this mission, Veteran Child is unlocked as a reconstructed homie.
