Characters in Saints Row

This is a summary of named Characters in Saints Row.
==Playable Character==
The playable character does not have a name, and is regularly called "Playa" by other characters, so this Wiki uses the name Playa.
Playa's face, body, hair and clothes can be fully customized.
Playa is saved by 3rd Street Saints' kingpin Julius Little and member Troy after getting caught up in the middle of a gang war between three rival gangs. Julius invites Playa back to the Saints Row Church to join the 3rd Street Saints.
Playa speaks only four lines, each occurring during the final mission of each story arc. During cut-scenes, he is always armed with only a VICE9 pistol, while all around him have K6 Krukov's and other heavy weaponry.
==3rd Street Saints==
The 3rd Street Saints begin as a minor element in Stilwater's current war for territory amongst its major gang factions: the Vice Kings, the Westside Rollerz and Los Carnales. Over the course of gameplay, the Saints become the most powerful organized gang in the city.
*Julius Little is the leader of the 3rd Street Saints. He recruits Playa during an altercation in Saints Row involving all three of Stilwater's prominent gang figures.
*Troy is Julius's second-in-command. Troy always seems to make critical information available to the Saints whenever it is time for Playa to make a move against a rival gang.
*Johnny Gat is a brash, hot-headed Saints lieutenant. After the reclamation of Saints Row, Gat takes on the responsibility of dealing with the Vice Kings after Troy declines the assignment. Johnny also has a torrid, on again/off again relationship with local R&B diva, Aisha. Gat's strategies typically involve massive amounts of bloodshed and extensive property damage.
*Dex is the voice of reason amongst Little's lieutenants. Dex is a superb tactician. Dex is very sensitive about incorrect grammar when saying "The Los Carnales".
*Lin is the sole female lieutenant in the Saints. She is the self-titled "best racer to ever come out of Chinatown" and her pride and joy is her customized Voxel. Julius Little assigns Lin the task of infiltrating the Westside Rollerz organization in an effort to gain more insight on how the Rollerz operate.
==Vice Kings==
The Vice Kings began as an organization formed by Benjamin King in the Sunnyvale Gardens neighborhood of the Projects District, to counterbalance the might of Los Carnales. In present-day Stilwater, the VK's serve as little more than the private security force that serves to safeguard King's personal dynasty.
The VK's came into conflict with the 3rd Street Saints when Tanya Winters resorts to abduction in order to get new "talent" for her Prawn Court brothel and the VK's have the misfortune of unknowingly kidnapping the sister of R&B diva, Aisha. 
*Benjamin King is the founder of the Vice Kings. King formed the VK's in order to protect the Projects District from Los Carnales. King is a childhood friend of Julius Little and remarks that Julius is following in King's path, even to the point of recycling King's old rally speeches. Benjamin King formed a financial empire with Kingdom Come Records serving as the crown jewel.
*Warren Williams is the Chief Operating Officer of Kingdom Come Records, serves as second-in-command to Benjamin King, and also manages the illegal gambling side of the VK business portfolio. Warren is referred to by Johnny Gat as "the numbers guy". One of the stronghold missions suggests that the VK's supplement their income by rigging sporting events.
*Anthony "Big Tony" Green is the VK's enforcer. Tony is Tanya Winters' primary lover. He is loyal to Benjamin King to a fault, and he appears to be the only VK member that King openly respects.
*Tanya Winters is a VK lieutenant, her primary responsibility is managing the VK brothel located in Prawn Court. The spark that ignites the conflict between the VK's and the Saints arguably is Tanya's unwitting abduction of the younger sister of R&B diva, Aisha, to serve in her brothel.
*Levar is a member of the Vice Kings who is killed by Los Carnales members doing a Drive-by, shortly after he sprayed over a Westside Rollerz Gang Tag. Had he not sprayed over the Gang Tag, Playa would not have been caught in the resulting crossfire and may never have joined the Saints.
==Los Carnales==
Los Carnales (The Brothers) are the stereotypical Latin-American gang, drawing parallels to Latino gangster archaetypes found in movies such as or . According to events in the game, Los Carnales are the oldest gang in Stilwater and has been controlled by the members of Lopez family for decades.
It is suggested that Benjamin King originally formed the Vice Kings to counter the advances of Los Carnales into the northern sections of Stilwater, especially his hometown Sunnyvale Gardens, much like how Julius Little forms the Saints to keep the other gangs out of the Row. There is a running gag where the Saints calls them "The" Los Carnales, which Dex constantly corrects as "Los" is Spanish for "The".
*Hector Lopez is of Los Carnales. Hector runs Los Carnales with an iron fist and depends on the influx of money generated from serving as Stilwater's primary distributor of narcotics to solidify his power base.
*Angelo Lopez is Hector's younger brother and is co-leader of Los Carnales in name only, since it is readily apparent that Hector calls all of the shots. Angelo comes complete with all of the stereotypical Hispanic male character traits including an over-abundance of machismo and a temper that rivals Johnny Gat's.
*Victor Rodriguez is an enforcer for Los Carnales. Victor's physical toughness is the stuff of urban legend. He is said to have survived over a dozen attempts on his life and his survival of a point-blank gunshot in one cutscene is not only a testament to his physical resilience, but also suggests that his trademark black leather zippered vest is probably lined with kevlar. He only speaks Spanish through the entire game.
*Luz Avalos is the materialistic girlfriend of Angelo Lopez. A running joke in the game is that she has an obsession when it comes to shoes. Luz drives a red Eiswolf, with the Los Carnales symbol as a hood ornament.
*Manuel Orejuela is a representative of Colombian drug lords. Even though he is not a Los Carnales member, they are the only gang in Stilwater that he works with. He seems to have a soft spot for Luz Avalos and takes advantage of Angelo's difficulty in dealing with the Saints to make his move on her.
==Westside Rollerz==
The Westside Rollerz consist of a cadre of street racers and tuners that supplement their illegal hobbies through dealing in stolen auto parts that they acquire by preying on truck shipments travelling through Stilwater.
*William Sharp is the mastermind of the Westside Rollerz and provides financial support through his law firm.
*Joseph Price is Sharp's nephew, and is the field commander of the Westside Rollerz. He is a skilled driver and commands the respect of all of his subordinates.
*Donnie is the Rollerz chief mechanic and operates a shop in Stilwater's Apartments District. Donnie and Joseph Price appear to be best friends and Price is very protective of Donnie, even shielding Donnie from the insults of Joseph's uncle, William Sharp. Donnie seems to shy away from the more violent activities that the Rollerz take part in, preferring to guarantee that the Rollerz fleet of high-performance street machines are always in tip-top condition.
==Mission Characters==
*Aisha is a singer who has experienced a meteoric rise that has taken her from the slums of Saints Row to a promising career in the R&B music industry. Aisha is following up her previous hit CD, "Avarice", with another hit CD called "The Other Six". "The Other Six" has already spawned two chart topping tracks: "Leave The Ho" and "Don't Fuck Me Like I'm Your Wife". Aisha is signed with Kingdom Come Records; a company that serves as the public front for the Vice Kings.
*Aisha's sister is kidnapped by a Vice King and is brought into a warehouse and locked up with two other women to work at Tanya Winter's brothel.
*Alderman Richard Hughes is a mayoral candidate in Stilwater and is Marshall Winslow's chief political rival. Hughes is running a potentially unsuccessful campaign against the incumbent candidate and decides to resort to more extreme methods to secure his power. Hughes' plan is to use the Saints' war with rival gangs to scare the citizens of Stilwater into supporting his governmental policies.
*Marshall Winslow serves as the mayor of Stilwater and is originally from the Saints Row district. Thanks to the aggressive radio campaign launched by political rival, Alderman Richard Hughes, there is a growing opinion of Winslow that he is soft on crime. Despite his current unpopularity, it is suggested that Winslow would still beat Hughes handily if a mayoral election were held immediately.
*Chief Monroe is the corrupt Chief of Stilwater Police Department. As the events of the game unfold, it is revealed that Monroe is not only on the Vice Kings payroll, but he is also apparently in league with Alderman Richard Hughes. 
*Samson is the Saints local mechanic. At numerous points in the game, Samson helps install explosives on various vehicles, though in those cases he is usually only mentioned or we just hear his voice. He also hires Playa for the Vice Kings Chop Shop Activity, which is the only time he is physically seen.
*Stefan is the proprietor of the Impressions stores in Stilwater. He is Tanya Winters' fashion adviser.
*Steven is Alderman Hughes' personal assistant and bodyguard.
