Template:Infobox character Zimos is a character in Saints Row: The Third and Enter the Dominatrix.

For the vehicle, see Zimos (vehicle).

He's kind of like the lovable granddad of the Saints.

— Steve Jaros, lead writer of Saints Row: The Third

Description

He has had a tracheotomy, though that hasn't stopped him from smoking through the subsequent hole in his throat. He speaks using an electronic voice box, which has Auto-tune installed. His clothing, particularly his purple hat and purple undershirt, indicate he is a member of the 3rd Street Saints.

Steve Jaros, lead writer of Saints Row: The Third, explained "he's too old to care, he has a lot of swagger. Pretty much he's seen it all, he's done it all, and he's too cool to be scared or offended."

Biography

Zimos is Steelport's oldest pimp. At first, the Syndicate and Zimos were on good terms, and he was friends with Phillipe Loren's protégées, Viola and Kiki DeWynter. The relationship goes south for as-yet-unknown reasons, and Zimos finds himself locked away in the basement of one of the Syndicate's human trafficking hubs.

Saints Row: The Third

After being rescued by the player due to a mentioning of his usefulness to the player by KinzieTemplate:Fact, Zimos becomes a highly important ally. His connections with the criminal underworld of Steelport are useful in The Protagonist's early days in SteelportTemplate:Fact, as they provide invaluable information on Syndicate operations, thus greatly speeding its demise. In addition, considering how much profits prostitution rakes in Steelport, he serves as both an invaluable business partner and a key character in story progression, greatly increasing the Saints prominence in Steelport through providing otherwise unavailableTemplate:Fact City-Takeover missions in the New Colvin district. These missions focus on taking out what's left of the Morningstar's business in the city as well as re-building his own, primarily through out-advertising their hos by means of selling catalogues featuring his own hos, sending the player off to drive around customers (being pleasured by an accompanying ho), and having the player forcibly take back hos once employed under him that were seized by the Morningstar. Story related missions that involve him involve the hostile takeover of the Safeword Brothel itselfTemplate:Fact (followed by the immediate employment of all the hos insideTemplate:Fact), the seizure of all the hos sent to replace the ones once employed in Safeword by way of helicopter, and the rescue of Angel de la Muerte from the Luchadores.Template:Fact He becomes available as an ally well in the game and carries a shotgun in place of his microphone voice box.

If the player completes all City Takeover gameplay in the New Colvin district, Zimos reveals that he slept with one of the DeWynter sisters, but couldn't remember which one; which is why he was locked away in the basement (or "pony stable") of the BDSM club and Morningstar human trafficking center, the Safeword Brothel, as a sex slave.Broken {{ref}} (blank parameter)

Trivia

Saints Row: The Third

• Zimos also owns a "Boogie Bus". It is a dark-coloured Anchor with wavy zebra stripe decals on its front hood and side. The front door has "Boogie Bus" written on it.
  • This vehicle is impossible to get however, as it is only in a cutscene, and not in the actual gameplay.
• In the "Kill Killbane" ending of the game, Zimos appears alongside the Saints traveling to the Channel 6 Station, during this scene he is depicted without his cane, despite the fact that he needs it to speak.
• The Z Style Pack, which gives the player pimp-like outfits and a weapon, is named after Zimos.
• Zimos is the only named Saints member to not be shown in the E3 trailer.
• According to the game files there was supposed to be an autotuned voice option that was similar to and possibly inspired by Zimos, but was taken out of the full game while still in development.
• Zimos can probably speak in Auto-tune without the use of the cane. When he wheels the crew out of Safeword during his very first appearance in Return to Steelport, he emits an Auto-tuned squeal without using the cane. Also, when they are both called as Homies, Kinzie Kensington brings up this very issue and he is unable to give an explanation.

Saints Row IV

• During Johnny Gat's loyalty mission Gat asks the Boss whats happened since he's been gone, the Boss talks about Oleg and Zimos, saying that he knows Oleg is dead but doesn't know if Zimos is still alive.Template:Fact
