. Backstory
Five years have passed since your former Saints crew betrayed
you. As you awake from a coma for the first time since that
eful day, you find the Stilwater you once ruled is in
disarray. Unfamiliar gangs have laid cl to your territory,
rival factions have taken over your rackets, and cash-hungry
corporations have laid waste to your once proud 3rd Street home.
Abandoned and left red with an unrecognizable face, you seek
out a plastic surgeon to begin your new life on the streets. Yet
some things never change in Stilwater.
Respect can only be earned and that requires a lifestyle that
reflects your unique personality. Your crib, your crew, and your
character define who you are on the streets and how you are
perceived. The image you portray is as important as the decisions
you make in a city ruled by false bravado and impulsive behavior.
The only constant is the need for an identity that reflects your
individuality. But style and image can only take you so far in a
world where actions speak louder than words. Sometimes sending a
message to your enemies requires heavy lifting, like that of a
rival gang member into oncoming traffic. Respect in Stilwater
needs to be taken, and what better way than to grab it from the
hands of a gang full of enemies by means of a satchel charge, a
flame-thrower or those mini rounds you've been saving for a
special occasion.
Meet Your Homies
But remember that the fight to recl Stilwater does not have
to be waged alone. The Saints once ruled these streets as a crew
of brothers, and their return to the top can help be secured
through co-operative alliances. The time has finally come to seek
revenge against your rivals to reestablish your crew as the
rightful kings of Stilwater, but the streets are crawling with
bangers. Check out the crews you'll run into and remember their
faces and their ways:
3rd Street Saints
Once the kings of the city, the Saints have been forced out of
their titular home of Saints Row by the Ultor Corporation, a
giant conglomerate that gentrified the once poor neighborhood.
Now operating out of an abandoned underground hotel, the Saints
are looking to recl the glory that they lost several years
ago. Ronin
One of the newest gangs instilling fear in Stilwater, the Ronin
recruit from both the city's Asian population as well as among
the immigrants. Their crimes involve peddling vice through
gambling, prostitution, street-racing, and protection rackets,
and their power has reached even into the boardroom of
corporations like Ultor. Sons of Samedi
Influenced by Voodoo and a history of corruption in
Haiti, the Sons of Samedi are known for their potent combination
of spiritualism and fearlessness. Members are attracted to the
gang out of respect for their methods, through coercion or a
desire for easy income generated through trade in their designer
drug called "Loa Dust." Brotherhood
Formed from the cast-outs and dredges of Stilwater society, the
Brotherhood is a solid force of strength and intimidation intent
on revenging itself upon the and city. Specializing in
violent extortion, they forego subtlety and nuance and simply
take what they want, all the while flashing their allegiance with
piercings and tattoos, bright colors, and -guzzling trucks.
Ultor Corporation
A ruthless corporate contender, the Ultor Corporation's
gentrification of Saints Row created a new skyline for the city
and a headquarters for their corporate office at the expense of
the poor and the 3rd Street Saints. Now they're targeting another
neighborhood, the Shivington projects, fueling gang wars and
waiting for the prime moment to move in and reap the profits. Key
