— Slogan

Overview[]

Ultor's trademark logo is a stylised side-view of a continuous mining machine blade, coloured orange, which is present at numerous locations around Stilwater.

In Saints Row Ultor Unlimited is a major clothing company and lifestyle brand, they also own the naming rights to the Ultor Dome.

Over the course of five years^[8] between then and Saints Row 2, they diversified into other industries and become the most influential corporation in Stilwater. In addition to clothing, their business interests include real estate development^[9], power utilities^[10], cell phones^[11], pharmaceuticals^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15], packaged food^[16], casinos^[17], weapons manufacturing at The Pyramid^[18] and radio stations.^[19]^[20]

Much of this growth is spearheaded by Dane Vogel, a highly ambitious and ruthless young executive who works as Ultor's Director of Special Projects. Of particular interest to Vogel is the redevelopment of Saint's Row District; Ultor spends $383,781,187^[21] to change the impoverished sector into a modern city, sprawling with glass towers and luxurious hotels. The Saints Row Church is turned from the 3rd Street Saints hideout into the "Stilwater Memorial Church", an upscale tourist attraction which serves as a symbol against all gangs and corruption in Stilwater.^[22] In the same district, Ultor constructs the Phillips Building to serve as its new headquarters.

After surviving assassination attempts by Ultor’s private army: the Masako, the Saints wage war on Ultor and destroy their prized top-secret laboratory The Pyramid.^[18] When Ultor's board of directors threaten to fire Vogel, he successfully manipulates the Saints into killing the entire board during a corporate yacht party, after which Vogel becomes Ultor's Chairman^[23] The Saints hijack a military attack helicopter to assault and infiltrate the Phillips Building, and Vogel is killed by Playa.^[24]

After Vogel's death, Ultor appoints Eric Gryphon as their new CEO.^[25]

Ultor Exposed[]

Former Ultor Microbiologist Tera teams up with Playa in hopes of uncovering one of Ultor's secret projects and the illegal, shadowy methods that they employed to cover their tracks. Although the duo succeed in acquiring the evidence they need to shut Ultor down^{[Reference needed]}, an interview with Jane Valderama of Channel 6 only leads to the humiliation of Tera.^{[Reference needed]} Her reputation tarnished, Tera vows to get revenge on Ultor with or without the help of the media.^[26]

Corporate Warfare[]

Some time after Dane Vogel's demise, then-Ultor Head of Security Dexter Jackson, a former member of the Saints, sends the Masako to assassinate Eric Gryphon in an attempt to seize power for himself.^{[Reference needed]} Desperate for help, Gryphon turned to the Saints for protection in exchange for helping them to get back at Dex. Playa and Gryphon then successfully foil Dex' scheme of illegally transporting nuclear waste out of Stillwater, effectively destroying his reputation within Ultor. Fearful for his life, Dex decides to escape.^{[Reference needed]} A vengeful Playa takes his anger out on Dex's closest associates during the events of the Ultor Family Fun Day with Gryphon's assistance.^{[Reference needed]}

The long-standing feud between the Ultor Corporation and the 3rd Street Saints finally comes to an end when Gryphon and Playa agree to cease hostilities. Playa meanwhile, vows to track down Dex and kill him no matter what the cost.^{[Reference needed]}

Saints Row: The Third[]

Ultor has merged with the 3rd Street Saints to create the "Saints/Ultor Media Group", helping the gang to become international celebrities with their own line of clothes, drinks, and household brand products. This is revealed in the Power CG Trailer.^{[Reference needed]}

Ultor Chemical Disposal Services^[27] run the Steelport Chemical and Waste Disposal Plant on Arapice Island.^[28] After Playa attacks a convoy of STAG planes,^[29] the corpses of STAG soldiers break open several of the containers^[30], releasing toxic gas which raises the dead and turns them into zombies. A large section of the Steelport Chemical and Waste Disposal Plant is destroyed when one of the same planes crashes into the plant.^[31]

In "Learning Computer", the objective vehicle towards the end of the mission is transporting a high-tech supercomputer belonging to STAG, which actually bears Ultor's logo.

Saints Row IV[]

By the events of Saints Row IV the Saints are still affiliated with Ultor, including when Playa is elected President of the United States.^[32]^{[Reference needed]} During initial Player Customization, a news headline says that top-level Ultor executives were caught in a price-fixing scandal. When inside Virtual Steelport after the Zin Invasion, Playa asks Kinzie if the White House is still standing after the Zin's attack on it, and says they should get Ultor to rebuild it.

The Masako make a physical appearance during Asha Odekar's nightmare simulation, led by an evil version of Playa called Mr. X.^[1]

An unused homie conversation between Phillipe Loren and Julius Little reveals that between the events of Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third, Ultor had been engaging in some rather "shady" business behind the backs of the 3rd Street Saints; ultimately, but indirectly, helping to pave the way for the events at the Stilwater 1st National Bank to occur.

Saints Row: Gat out of Hell[]

While dead, Dane Vogel has created a new branch of Ultor in New Hades, and allies himself and his company with Johnny Gat and Kinzie Kensington in their quest to save the President-slash-God-Emperor-of-the-Universe from Satan. His motive for doing so is that if the Saints' quest fails, Ultor can take the reconstruction contracts after the dust settles, and if they succeed, Satan's fall will allow for less property taxes.^[33]
