Quick notes

The Saints arrive as celebrities under pressure. The Boss, Shaundi and Pierce begin from a different position than the rebuilding gang in Saints Row 2.
New allies connect to specific parts of Steelport. Kinzie brings technical expertise, Angel brings wrestling history and Oleg brings direct knowledge of the Syndicate’s experiments.
The Syndicate has three recognizable branches. The Morningstar, Deckers and Luchadores use different identities and leaders.
STAG adds a separate military force. Cyrus Temple and STAG escalate the fight beyond ordinary gang territory.
