Biography

Saints Row 2

Pierce joined the Saints after The Protagonist convinced him by killing some Ronin members.[2] The Protagonist assigned him specifically to collect as much information as he could on the dangerous Ronin.

Afterwards, Pierce tells The Protagonist and Gat about the Poseidon's Palace Casino, in which the Ronin have stakes.[3] After successfully robbing the casino - even though they didn't go along with Pierce's complicated plan - Pierce, Johnny, and The Protagonist agree that the money they robbed needs to be cleaned, so The Protagonist goes to purchase weapons and cars to sell to a fence.[4]

Pierce ends up getting his hands on the passenger manifest from the Wardill Airport, and on that list is Shogo Akuji's father, Kazuo Akuji, who is coming to Stilwater after catching on about the heist at Poseidon's Palace Casino. Pierce and The Protagonist head to the airport, only to find out Kazuo was gone.[5] After failing to catch Kazuo at the airport, Pierce and The Protagonist head to a bar, then, at the bar, The Protagonist gets an anonymous call telling him that Jyunichi, the Ronin lieutenant that killed Aisha and hospitalized Gat, was at a teahouse. The Protagonist leaves the bar to eliminate Jyunichi.[6]

After meeting Mr. Wong, who was looking for The Protagonist, Pierce drives him to the Saint's hideout, not knowing he was being followed. He, along with Gat, Mr. Wong, his Translator, The Protagonist, and the other Saints, fend off the Ronin's attack.[7]

After the death of Carlos, Pierce, as well as Shaundi help The Protagonist against the Brotherhood.[8] He helped The Protagonist, Shaundi and Johnny Gat to take down all three gangs in Saints Row 2.

Pierce is unlockable as a Homie after completing the The Brotherhood of Stilwater missions. Once all the gangs had been obliterated, the Saints make their way to take down Ultor, after Ultor's Masako tried to kill The Protagonist, Pierce, Gat, and Shaundi.[9] The Protagonist tasks Pierce and Shaundi to blow up and cause mayhem on Ultor property while The Protagonist and Gat infiltrate the Pyramid.[10] Pierce also gives The Protagonist a letter found at the hideout, which reveals that Ultor Execs are having a retirement party on a large yacht. [11] After The Protagonist kills Dane Vogel, Pierce and Shaundi show up late to help due to problems with traffic.[12]

Saints Row 2: Corporate Warfare

Pierce makes a brief appearance in the game's second DLC, in which he is talking to Eric Gryphon about getting the Saints protection, because Dex, now head of Ultor Security, wants him dead.[13]

Saints Row: The Third

In Saints Row: the Third, Pierce has become somewhat of a celebrity, doing commercials for "Saint's Flow" energy drinks and is also mentioned by Jane Valderamma during radio news breaks. He's much more well dressed to represent his new found fame. As well, he is attempting to launch a music career at the point when the events of this game kick off.Template:Fact

His first appearance, besides his commercial in the beginning, is at We're Going to Need Guns, in which he flies a helicopter to pick up weapons and a bomb from Steelport's National Guard, as well as Shaundi and The Protagonist. They drop off all the weapons at Shaundi's Ex's Apartment. After Johnny Gat's death, Pierce gets promoted to new second-in-command.[14]

Pierce believes that the Saints need to show that they are there to take over, so he and The Protagonist go and pimp out a car, then buy some clothing at Planet Saints, which ended up resulting in fighting a brute before retreating to Shaundi's Ex's Apartment.[15]

Pierce ends up calling The Protagonist, telling them about how he found a new place, a Morningstar building that he thought the Saints could take over.{{References}|Party Time}} After succeeding in taking over the building, Pierce decides they need to start taking over Steelport.[16] They went on to buy a Friendly Fire from the Morningstar through ownership deeds, and then cleared two Gang Operations, as well a picking up some Sex Dolls, Pierce saying, "Oh that... a little hobby of mine."Broken {{ref}} (blank parameter) In the first Trafficking, when The Protagonist asks what they have to sell, he replies that they have T-shirts and lunchboxes. When The Protagonist asks if there is anything else Pierce replies, "Well, there's always my demo tape."Broken {{ref}} (blank parameter) The response afterwards depends on the voice of The Protagonist. Some voices sound pleased while a couple say that they "only have shit." After hanging around at the Broken Shillelagh, Pierce suggests that The Protagonist hit up Powder - a designer gun store owned by the Morningstar.Broken {{ref}} (blank parameter) In The Belgian Problem, Pierce joins The Protagonist and Shaundi to go deal with Loren, and kills him along with rescuing Oleg Kirrlov.

Pierce joins The Protagonist and Shaundi in Return to Steelport, and helps in rescuing Kinzie Kensington and also helps with rescuing Zimos. During Trojan Whores, Pierce holds a party at the Saints HQ and Shaundi finds out about this, calling The Protagonist in rage and both make it to the HQ when Shaundi shows her disgust with Pierce. After claiming that they can't mourn Gat forever and being defended by The Protagonist, Shaundi storms out and leaves Pierce, Zimos and The Protagonist at the party. Pierce was almost killed by a hooker assassin with his own gun, being saved by The Protagonist and the 3 repel the attack. He later helps in The Ho Boat by picking up the container and dropping of the Ho's.

When STAG comes to Steelport, Pierce helps with dealing with both STAG and the Deckers. For dealing with the Deckers, he helps out with capturing the Learning Computer, using a tank much to the delight of Pierce and The Protagonist, and is with him during [[1]] when he goes into the simulation. Regarding STAG, he helps in Convoy Decoy moving the Saints equipment out of the HQ preparing for an inevitable counter attack. He latter comes up with a plan in drawing out STAG, when during Nyte Blayde's Return, Pierce calls up Viola and The Protagonist, mentioning that Nyte Blayde is their mascot, and so plans that is they dress up as actors in the film, they can snatch Josh away from STAG. He helps in STAG Party in defending the Saints HQ from STAG. When Shaundi is captured by Kia, The Protagonist comes up with a plan and so in My Name is Cyrus Temple, Pierce and Viola are taken by The Protagonist disguised as Cyrus to the Thermopylae as prisoners. Both are taken away to be processed by a soldier, and The Protagonist agrees to avoid detection, but angering Pierce in the process and earning him a butt from the soldier's rifle, sneering at The Protagonist as he was taken away. The Protagonist successful finds all 3 after being detected and escapes from the Thermopylae, destroying the ship in the process, although angering STAG and makes them instate marshal law.

In Three Way, Pierce fights along side Oleg and The Protagonist in taking down STAG and the Luchadores around the city, until The Protagonist get's called by Kia about blowing up the Steelport staue, Pierce called out that "You can't make it to both and you can't let Shaundi die. Fuck Killbane"

At the end of Saints Row: the Third, after killing Killbane, and others from a bomb explosion on Magarac Island and after you destroy the Daedalus, The Protagonist declared Steelport a city-state and offers Pierce the job of Mayor, a position Pierce is enthusiastic to take on.Broken {{ref}} (blank parameter)

Pierce singing "Bounce Like My Checks"

Saints Row IV

Steve Jaros has mentioned rescuing Pierce in his dungeon. [17]

At the beginning of the game, Pierce accompanies The Protagonist in to disrupt a group of terrorists. When he sarcastically comments on Asha being a people person, she snaps at him, asking if they were going to fight terrorists or shoot a Saints Flow commercial, he seems offended.[18]

There is an Achievement named "Face of the Saints" which confirms that Pierce has a Romance option and a loyalty mission.

Pierce's super costume, after unlocking his superpowers, resembles Kung Lao's outfit from the fighting games of Mortal Kombat, complete with the hat.Broken {{ref}} (outdated style)

Pierce's nightmare prison in the virtual world involves him being attacked by the Saints Flow cans. The giant flow can, Dubbed "Paul" chases Pierce and the protagonist until they stop him by taking controll of the statue from Magarac island. Broken {{ref}} (blank parameter)

Personality

He is similar to Dex, as he would use his brains rather than his brawn in most situations. He always wants to prove his worth to The Protagonist, and despite being a lieutenant, he wants more power and more responsibility for himself.

In Saints Row: The Third, he hasn't changed much, but he has embraced the new media profile that his gang has achieved. Although, his ego has been called into question by one of voices for The Protagonist. Female Voice 3 tells Pierce during one of the Heli Assault activities that he and Josh Birk have similar egos. He enjoys this and the Saints new fame, even being happy to tell The Protagonist that the Studio wants The Protagonist to do screentests for "Gangsta's In Space"[19], a movie in production based off Johnny Gat's comic.

Music

He loves classical music and soft hip-hop. During the Brotherhood mission Thank You and Good Night! he will change the radio to Klassic FM, even if it is locked out of your station selection. Despite claiming that he can listen to whatever he wants while driving, it is still possible for the player to change the station, and he will not comment upon it.

Pierce: "Ya hear that? That is music."
The Protagonist (Male Voice 1): "Pierce... when did you get a vagina?"
The Protagonist (Male Voice 2): "What the hell are we listenin' too?"
The Protagonist (Male Voice 3): "We're gonna have a conversation about your music tastes, Pierce..."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 1): "Pierce... is there something you're not telling me?"
The Protagonist (Female Voice 2): "You gotta be kiddin' me."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 3): "Is this the softer side of Pierce?"
Pierce: "Yo, fuck you. I'm drivin', we gonna listen to whatever the hell I want."
— After switching the channel to 102.4 Klassic FM during the mission Thank You and Good Night!

In the Sons of Samedi mission Bonding Experience, after entering the Alaskan, he changes the station to the song "So Sick" by Ne-Yo and starts singing to it.

Pierce: "Now this is what we need... Some drive-by music."
The Protagonist (Male Voice 1): "Pierce... what the hell are we listening to?"
The Protagonist (Male Voice 2): "Are you shitting me?"
The Protagonist (Male Voice 3): "We gotta get you better taste in music, bro..."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 1): "Okay, you're never talkin' shit about my music again..."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 2): "Is this the softer side of Pierce?"
The Protagonist (Female Voice 3): "You seriously listen to this?"
Pierce sings along to the entire song.
The Protagonist (Male Voice 1): "Oh God..."
The Protagonist (Male Voice 2): "Son, you're no Ne-Yo."
The Protagonist (Male Voice 3): "This is worse than getting shot..."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 1): "You're killing me, Pierce."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 2): "Wow..."
The Protagonist (Female Voice 3): "[Speaks Spanish]"
— While listening to Ne-Yo's "So Sick" during the mission Bonding Experience

By Saints Row the Third, The Protagonist seems to be much and accepting the idea of Pierce's "Singing". During the mission "Welcome to Steelport", he and Pierce seem to hit it off and sing together to "What I Got" by Sublime.

This is unrelated to the Soprano achievement, and the The Protagonist does not sing this song. Pierce singing So Sick
