Regicide: The Rise and Fall of the Vice Kings is a book and film in the Saints Row series.

Overview[]

After Saints Row, but before Saints Row 2, Benjamin King writes a book titled Regicide,[1] also referred to as Regicide: The Rise and Fall of the Vice Kings.[2] According to random dialogue from civilians, the book is very inspiring.

During Saints Row 2, a movie adaptation is being filmed and King is being portrayed, in the game universe, by Michael Clarke Duncan,[3][4] who is King's voice actor in real-life.

Regicide radio commercial

In Saints Row: The Third, there is a radio commercial about the movie.[2]

In Saints Row 2, Male Voice 2 has an Idle line along the lines of "I should read King's book. I wonder if I'm in it", while Female Voice 3 claims to have read it during "Laundry Day" when asked about money laundering: "I read about it in Ben King's book; ya buy, ya sell, it doesn't seem too hard". Civilian sometimes randomly say, "You read Ben King's book? He said some nice things about you". A stripper with the "aspiring author" personality sometimes claims that she ghostwrote King's book. College students NPCs randomly complain that Warren Williams is barely in the book.

In Saints Row IV, Benjamin King attempts to write a science fiction follow-up to the book and has Playa cause chaos in Virtual Steelport to inspire him. After Playa does so, King assures he will credit them in the back of the book.[5] In Benjamin King's Romance, Playa sheepishly asks King to sign their copy of the book; it is the only Romance in the game that does not lead to a sexual encounter. Future Shaundi's Text Adventure in How the Saints Save Christmas says that King used money he made from the book and moved to a remote island.[6]

Trivia[]

  • The definition of "regicide" is the murder of a monarch, such as a King.
