I was happy with people forgetting I exist, but motherf**kers always gotta bring up the past...
~ One of Dex's lines upon confrontation.

Dexter Jackson, commonly known as Dex, is a major antagonist in the Saints Row franchise.

Dex was one of the original members of the 3rd Street Saints who was tasked with taking down the gang known as Los Carnales with The Boss's help. But after the events of the first and second games, he left his own gang in a bad way and became the head of security for the Ultor Corporation after the death of Dane Vogel, to sell toxic waste on the black market. Despite having died from the destruction of the earth by Zinyak, he reappears in hell due to his sins he committed in life.

He was voiced by Jeffery Allen Qaiyum in Saints Row, who returned for voice work in Saints Row: Gat out of Hell with Arif S. Kinchen (who voices Pierce Washington) filling in for the role for Saints Row 2. When Volition couldn't locate him, they got Arif S. Kinchen (who voices Pierce Washington) to do audio work for Dex in Saints Row 2. Jeffrey Allen Qaiyum reprised the role for Gat out of Hell.

Biography[]

Saints Row[]

Dex joined the Saints ran by Julius Little to rid the city of Stilwater from the violent gangs. He was a superb tactician and some Saints believed he would challenge Julius about running the gang.

He was also the brains in the Saints organization and came up with well thought plans to defeat some of the gangs, such as setting up the Vice Kings and killing Los Carnales jefe, Hector Lopez, and Stilwater police chief, Monroe.

Dex was later offered a job for the Ultor Corporation by Ultor chairman Dane Vogel so he dropped his flags. He also revealed to Julius' right hand man, Troy Bradshaw, that he knew he was a cop, and informed him that he was going straight.

Saints Row 2: Corporate Warfare[]

When the Boss woke up in Saints Row 2 after being put in a coma caused by Julius, who blew them up on a boat, they managed to contact Dex who told them to meet him at their old gang hideout, a church, so he would help them get Julius. But this was a trap, and when Julius arrived at the church, told to go there by Dex, the Ultor head of security sent his team of Masako, to kill them, however they managed to escape.

Dex leaving Stilwater

Dex flees Stilwater.

Ultor's CEO, Eric Gryphon (who replaced Vogel after his death at the hands of the Boss) came to the saints from protection from Dex, who intended on killing Eric to gain higher control in Ultor. The Boss helped out Eric, who then tipped them off about Dex stealing nuclear waste to sell on the black market. The Saints stole the waste for themselves. Nowhere else to run, Dex fled Stilwater. After the Boss killed connections to Dex, they swore to find which city the former Saint ran to and kill him.

Saints Row: Gat out of Hell[]

Despite the Protagonist's previous claim, Dex was still at large during the events of Saints Row: The Third although he wasn't mentioned at all during the campaign. Dex was mentioned in dialogue in the Protagonist's nightmare simulation in Saints Row IV but never appeared. Dex was killed off-screen during the campaign after Zinyak destroyed the earth and wiped out most of the human race in an attempt to torment the Protagonist further.

The Saints Row IV expansion pack Saints Row: Gat out of Hell reveals that Dex was sent to Hell due to his betrayal and now lives as a husk, only standing out from the others due to wearing his old purple visor cap.

The player is required to kill Dex 6 times as part of the "Revenge" diversion. In the first couple of interactions he will run away from the player (either being Johnny Gat or Kinzie) but will start having demons helping him out. After killing 6 times, he will continue to randomly spawn for the player to kill him over and over again.

After completing the city takeover of the game, a final cutscene shows Dex in a fetal position, still being tormented.

Trivia[]

  • Dex is completely absent from Saints Row: The Third, with no mention made towards him despite the cliffhanger ending in Saints Row 2: Corporate Warfare. Before the game's release, lead writer Steve Jaros revealed that they left Dex out of the game in order to not alienate new players who didn't play the original Saints Row (which was an Xbox exclusive) or the above mentioned DLC Corporate Warfare. Despite this, there was huge fan demand for the character's return and for his storyline to be properly wrapped up. Saints Row IV mentions Dex but doesn't reintroduce him, despite the game featuring quite a few old characters and gangs from the first three games. Fan demand caused Dex to be brought back in Saints Row: Gat out of Hell, although he plays no significant role in the story.
  • Dex was to appear in a mission in the cancelled spin-off game Saints Row: Money Shot in which the player was required to assassinate him when Dex was attending an executive party.
  • His full name Dexter Jackson is only given in a newspaper clipping in Saints Row 2: Corporate Warfare after completion of the first mission "Traffic Control".
  • Dex just uses the "husk" pedestrian model for his Gat out of Hell appearance, with one slight modification that he wear his purple visor hat from the original Saints Row.
  • During the early development of the fifth Saints Row game (with the working title Saints Row 2.5) Dex would have been properly reintroduced to the series. This idea was scrapped in favour of a complete reboot with new characters.
