Biography[]
Saints Row: The Third[]
Viola, along with Kiki, bail out The Protagonist, Johnny Gat and Shaundi after they are arrested for robbing a bank owned by the Syndicate. The twins bring them to Phillipe Loren, who wants a share of the Saints assets during his takeover of Stilwater. However, they manage to break free, with Gat fighting them off whilst the Protagonist and Shaundi escape the plane.
After Phillipe is killed during the Saints attack on the Syndicate Tower to avenge Johnny Gat's "death", Viola and Kiki hope to head the Syndicate. However, The Luchadores leader Killbane makes himself the leader instead. Viola and Kiki try to have the Saints killed by sending hooker assassins at a party at their penthouse, but this fails. Viola and Kiki get annoyed at Killbane and decide to leave the Syndicate. In anger, Killbane breaks Kiki's neck after she calls him by his real name "Eddie", and Viola reluctantly "agrees" to remain. Killbane accepts her "apology" and plainly offers her a VIP pass to the upcoming Murderbrawl XXXI in an effort cheer her up over the loss of her sister.
However, she defects to the 3rd Street Saints and begins her revenge against Killbane by informing the Protagonist about The Syndicate cargo carrying a bunch of prostitutes on a boat.
She then meets with the Protagonist and Oleg in person at a park. After a tense argument over Johnny Gat's "death", she officially joins the Saints; she gives little reasons for her actions, stating that she'll "get to watch Killbane suffer" after he killed her sister Kiki in front of her. However, this meeting is interrupted by the arrival of STAG - a military team sent to deal with the crime activity in Steelport. They manage to escape and Viola is welcomed into the Saints, although Shaundi isn't too happy with her being there due to her role in Johnny Gat's "death".
Viola assists the Protagonist and the Saints out on several missions, such as disguising themselves as actors to kidnap Josh Birk, defending the Saints HQ from an attack from STAG who want to have Josh Birk returned to them, rescuing Shaundi from STAG after she got kidnapped by Kia, Cyrus Temple's chief lieutenant, and helping Mayor Burt Reynolds deal with the zombie outbreak on Arapice Island.
When the Saints discuss the next step in taking down the Luchadores and Killbane, Viola advises them to do what he did to Angel De LaMuerte: unmask Killbane during a wrestling match, as the humiliation would be worse than death. The Protagonist, however, has the option not to unmask him and instead spare Killbane for the Apoca-Fist weapon, but nonetheless, Killbane is humiliated by his defeat to the Protagonist.
Viola is later abducted by Shaundi along with Mayor Burt Reynolds by STAG commander Cyrus Temple and are kept hostage at a statue on an island, which STAG plans to blow up and set the Saints up as terrorists.
In the canonical "Save Shaundi" ending, the Protagonist rescues them and kills Cyrus' second-in-command Kia.
In the non-canonical "Kill Killbane" ending, the Protagonist chooses to stop Killbane from fleeing Steelport and kills him, but in the process ends up with Viola, Shaundi, and Mayor Burt Reynolds dying.
Saints Row IV[]
Viola is revealed to be the head of the Federal Reserve by the events of Saints Row IV after the Protagonist is elected President of the United States. However, she is absent during the game, and it is revealed by Kinzie to the Protagonist that she perished when Zinyak destroys the Earth.
Saints Row: Gat out of Hell[]
Viola was sent to Hell after her demise, and is reunited with Kiki. They run Cerberus Security. However, the power players, which consists of previous Saints Row antagonists, such as William Sharp, Kazuo Akuji, Shogo Akuji, Jyunichi, and Killbane, don't like their ideas. They are surrounded and attacked by a group of Satan's demons known as "Sinterpol" in a parking garage downtown, located in the DeWynter View Neighborhood. When Johnny Gat (who is actually still alive) or Kinzie Kensington heads to Hell to rescue the Protagonist, they are rescued by either of them. Johnny and/or Kinzie team up with the twins to take over the city of New Hades and defeat Satan.
After being saved, the twins make a deal with Dane Vogel and award both Johnny and Kinzie the Blast Arcane Power.
Although Viola is glad to see Kinzie, Kiki is less welcoming. Viola defends Kinzie claiming "she grows on you" but Kiki still refuses to "share her sister". That attitude changes when Kinzie rescues them, declaring Kinzie her "sister" as well. When Kinzie steals an APC, she'll sometimes mention her sister wants it. Which one she's referring to is not obvious, but since it's singular, it's probably Viola.
After completing the take over of Downtown, the DeWynter sisters are cautiously happy, but worried a new storm will come along.
In the Shawarma epilogue cutscene after completing City Takeover, Viola has a meeting with God and sets up an "annual meeting" between "representatives of Heaven and Hell" which is largely just an excuse to play volleyball with their friends in Heaven.
