Characters in Saints Row 2

This is a summary of named **Characters in *Saints Row 2***.

## Playable Character

The playable character does not have a name, and is called either "Playa" or "Boss" by other characters, this Wiki refers uses the name Playa. While the character can be male or female, they are male by default, so this wiki uses male pronouns for convenience.

Near the end of *Saints Row*, Playa is promoted to Second in Command by Julius, the leader of the 3rd Street Saints. Julius subsequently betrays Playa and attempts to kill him in a boat explosion.

After waking from a coma after five years Playa goes to work rebuilding the Saints, recruiting a new crew and leading them in reclaiming Stilwater.

## 3rd Street Saints

After the events of *Saints Row*, 3rd Street Saints are scattered, Playa is in a coma, Johnny Gat has been arrested, Troy reveals himself to be an undercover cop, and both Dex and Julius move on from gang life.

* **Johnny Gat** is the only other returning member of the Saints and acts as second-in-command to help restore the Saints to their former glory. Playa rescues Johnny during a trial that would otherwise see him to the electric chair for three hundred eighty seven counts of 1st degree murder.

* **Shaundi** is a new lieutenant recruited by Playa, who is put in charge of taking down the Sons of Samedi but also helps out with the "Brotherhood" as well.

* **Pierce** is a new lieutenant recruited by Playa, who is put in charge of taking down the Ronin but also tries to help with the other gangs. Unlike Johnny, Pierce is a strategist who likes to think plans through instead of rushing into things, similar to Dex, although he is often ridiculed by the other Saints.

* **Carlos** helps Playa escape from the Stilwater Prison, and becomes a lieutenant, assigned to bring down the Brotherhood.

* **Aisha** is still hiding after having faked her own death, and lives with Johnny Gat. Her albums are still on the charts, but it is unknown who is receiving money for them as the rights were owned by Kingdom Come Records.

* **Tera** is a former Ultor microbiologist who wishes to bring all of Ultor's crimes to light. She joins the 3rd Street Saints in order to fulfill this goal.

## The Brotherhood

The Brotherhood's gang color is red and they are one of the more brutal gangs in Stilwater, specialising in arms dealing and violent crime. Like the Westside Rollerz, The Brotherhood are largely focused on vehicle-related crime.

* **Maero** is leader of The Brotherhood. He is tall, muscled, and covered in tattoos which relate to the Brotherhood. Unlike other gang leaders, Maero is violent, straightforward, blunt and confrontational with his tactics.

* **Donnie** has joined the Brotherhood after Rollerz' fall, and is Maero's personal mechanic. His garage is located in Chinatown.

* **Matt** is the frontman and guitarist for a heavy metal band called the Feed Dogs, and the gang's personal tattoo artist. He is Maero's best friend, and his tattoo skills are remarkable - even Maero said to him that he should "stick to the needle and drop the guitar".

* **Jessica** is a rich girl who ran off with Maero when they were young[*reference?*], and helps in running The Brotherhood's finances. She wears red, but is not tattooed.

## Sons of Samedi

The Sons of Samedi's gang color is green and their main business is drug trafficking. They make a fortune dealing Loa Dust in the University district.

Like the previous drug dealers, the Carnales, the Samedi have worldwide connections.[*reference?*]

* **The General** is the leader of the Sons Of Samedi. His real name is never revealed, but he is of Haitian descent. He is smart, calm, although he gets easily irritated by trouble around him. Unlike other crew leaders, he doesn't have a hideout, but rather drives around in a customized green Hounfor with a personal armory in the back.

He arrived in the U.S. at young age, and he mentioned serving in the army.[*reference?*]

* **Mr. Sunshine** is The General's right hand man. He controls the Samedi's drug trafficking business. He is a voodoo-priest who is quick to violence, and kills people with his machete.

* **Veteran Child** is a stoner lieutenant working for the Sons of Samedi, although he is treated more like a servant. He is former boyfriend of Shaundi and a DJ for 89.0 Generation X who got involved with the Samedi because of the free drugs.[*reference?*]

* **Mark Gabby** is a Sons of Samedi drug dealer.

## Ronin

The Ronin are Japanese-styled, their gang color is yellow and they control the gambling and prostitution that occurs in Stilwater. They fill the power void in control of vice crimes created by the fall of the Vice Kings.

The Ronin ride motorbikies and carry Samurai Swords to wield in Melee combat.

* **Shogo Akuji** is the leader of the Ronin in Stilwater. He is very immature, treats his enforcer Jyunichi like garbage, and hates tradition and honor. His father, Kazuo, is the Ronin international leader.

* **Kazuo Akuji** is the Japanese leader of the Ronin, who arrives in Stilwater after Shogo's failed attempts to destroy the Saints. He is tough and violent, and well known around Japan. His relationship with Shogo is similar to that of William Sharp and Joseph Price, angry at his son about his failure, sending him out to take care of him.

* **Jyunichi** is the sole lieutenant and chief enforcer to the Ronin. He is a large, muscular bald man who carries Dual Samurai Swords. He obeys Shogo's every word, until Shogo's father Kazuo takes control. He holds tradition and honor above all else, even his own life.

Ultor was a clothing company before the fall of the Saints, but has grown during Playa's absence, and have helped develop Stilwater. Headquarters of the group are situated in the Phillips Building, the tallest building in Stilwater.

* **Jaime** is Dane Vogel's secretary. She is never present in person in the game, but has 8 lines which are heard over Vogel's intercom. After Vogel's death, Civilians may randomly say "I'm glad you killed Jaime's boss, that bitch stole my internship".
