Donnie is a minor antagonist in the 2006 video game Saints Row, serving as a minor antagonist for the Westside Rollerz story arc and for The Brotherhood story arc in Saints Row 2.
History[]
Saints Row[]
As the 3rd Street Saints work to take down the Westside Rollerz, Lin works undercover to get information from inside the gang. After having some cars fitted with explosives which detonate during a race through Westside Rollerz territory, Lin becomes frustrated with her slow progress, stating that "things are moving too slow". She learns that the Westside Rollerz' leader, Joseph Price, is close friends with a mechanic named Donnie, and devises a strategy in which Playa will assault Donnie's garage, Donnie's, and she will appear, manipulating Donnie into thinking that Lin has saved his life. After carrying out the plan, a grateful Donnie predictably leads her to Price.
At the Price Mansion, Lin meets Joseph Price and William Sharp. Although Sharp tries to keep Donnie silent, he lets slip in front of Lin that the Westside Rollerz plan to hit a convoy for parts, and in-turn she has Playa disrupt their plans. After the Westside Rollerz learn of the 3rd Street Saints' actions, Lin and Donnie nominate to help out and find somewhere else to look for the parts. Donnie once again lets slip that some buyers are expecting a shipment from the Westside Rollerz; Sharp, distrustful of Lin, once again quietens Donnie.
As Lin continues to get closer to Donnie, she concocts a plan with him to strip down other vehicles in the neighborhood for parts. Sharp berates the plan and insults Donnie, causing Lin to defend him. She threatens Sharp and walks away with Donnie. Once again, she secretly has Playa foil their plans. Sharp and Price deduce that Lin has been betraying them to the 3rd Street Saints; knowing how close Price is to Donnie, Sharp promises him that he'll deal with Lin.
Sharp successfully captures Lin and Playa and ties them up in the trunk of her car. He plans to push the car into the river, drowning the pair, but phones Donnie first and asks him to meet him by the river. When Donnie arrives, Sharp reveals Lin's deception. Heartbroken, he drives off, neither helping Sharp kill her nor saving Lin from her predicament.
Lin is killed by Sharp, and soon after Sharp's death, Price rouses his crew into attacking the 3rd Street Saints at Saint's Row; during his speech, he angrily states that he does not know "what the fuck they did to Donnie", insinuating that he has not seen Donnie since before Lin's death.
Donnie is later seen in his garage, mourning over Lin while looking at a photo of her and leaning against her car.
Saints Row 2[]
When Playa and Carlos meet The Brotherhood's leader Maero, Playa recognizes Donnie working on Maero's truck at The Brotherhood's headquarters near the docks, but Donnie doesn't notice them. Carlos asks if the two are acquainted.
Later, while Donnie is mourning Lin, Playa confronts him at the riverside where she was killed. Playa threatens to kill Donnie if he doesn't rig some Brotherhood vehicles with explosives. When Donnie confesses what he has done to Maero, he chokes Donnie and almost kills him, but Maero's girlfriend Jessica and friend Matt convince him to spare Donnie.
When Playa learns that Carlos has been kidnapped by The Brotherhood, Playa goes after the weakest link in the gang – Donnie – to find out where they have taken Carlos. Playa once again returns to Donnie's; Donnie attempts to defend himself and a brief fight ensues. Donnie relents and admits that Carlos has been taken for "a ride around the docks".
After Jessica is killed, Playa wishes to know more about The Brotherhood's incoming shipment. Shaundi ponders whether they should ask Donnie again, but Playa is confident that with recent events, he's being left "out of the loop [or] dead".
As the 3rd Street Saints lay siege to The Brotherhood's headquarters, Matt and Donnie hide on the ground floor. When Maero and Playa smash through the ceiling, Matt and Donnie flee. Matt returns and sacrifices himself to save Maero while Donnie retreats with him.
Donnie is not present during the final fight between Playa and the remnants of The Brotherhood, presumably leaving him as the only character to survive the downfall of two enemy gangs in the Saints Row series.
Trivia[]
- Donnie is the only character to be a member of two enemy gangs over two games and survive the downfall of both.
