The Player is almost totally mute throughout the original Saints Row, only breaking his vow of silence to make combat noises (such as grunting in pain when injured or screaming hysterically when on fire) and to make singular humorous quips during the final missions for each of the gangs. Before he can have his men execute the Boss, however, the game ends with a bomb completely destroying Hughes' yacht, and the revelation that Troy was an undercover cop. After being blackmailed into assassinating Stilwater's mayor and chief of police, the Player finds himself on a yacht with Stilwater's mayoral elect: Alderman Richard Hughes, who informs the Boss that he plans to destroy the Saints and bulldoze their neighborhood. The Player becomes Julius' right-hand man and assures him that the violence they perpetuated was for a greater good. Through a series of triumphs and tragedies, mostly through the personal efforts of the Player, the Saints wipe out the opposing gangs and take over Stilwater, though Lin dies in the process. One player's interpretation of the Player (left) being recruited by Julius in Saints Row.
After being "canonized" and initiated into the gang, the Player becomes an enforcer and helps Johnny Gat, Troy Bradshaw, strategist Dexter Jackson and spy Lin take down Stilwater's dominating gangs: Los Carnales, the Vice Kings, and the Westside Rollerz. Saints RowĪfter being caught in the middle of a gunfight between members of the three major street gangs of Stilwater, Michigan, the man who would become the Boss is saved by Julius Little, the leader of the Third Street Saints, a gang based out of the historic Saints Row District. For clarity's sake, the remainder of this article will refer to the Boss as a man, as that gender is considered the default. The Boss may even visit a plastic surgeon at any time to reenter the character creation process for a small fee, and can rebuild the character from scratch if so desired. The customization system does not limit the player to a specific set of options or items based on gender the character could be designed as a woman with a man's voice, for example, or as a man dressed in feminine hair and clothing. The Boss can even be given a different voice, taunt, and can be outfitted with clothes, tattoos, and jewelry. This includes race, age, weight, facial structure, and, as of Saints Row 2, gender.
The player can change almost everything about the Boss. The Boss has also been referred to as "playa" to keep his identity obscure, and as a nod to the fact that he is the player character. Originally a mostly silent protagonist, this character has no name or backstory. "The Boss" is the player's character in the Saints Row franchise.
