DISCLAIMER: The following section of this article contains spoilers for the plots of Saints Row: The Third and Grand Theft Auto V. Proceed at your own risk.

Name: Johnny Gat

Reason: Johnny is revealed to have been in charge of the team that crashed the trio's heist, and the three prepare to fight. Johnny reveals to have super powers, but the trio challenges him anyway.

Connection: Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row have often been compared to each other in many ways due to the two series' open-world gameplay and criminal/gangster theme. Both Johnny and the three GTA protagonists have robbed banks, and the stories of both Grand Theft Auto V and Saints Row: The Third begin with a bank heist. Additionally, both Johnny Gat and two of the GTA V protagonists have died or may possibly die during the story of their respective games. Also, both Johnny Gat and characters from Grand Theft Auto V meet and assign missions to the player's own custom character in the Saints Row series and Grand Theft Auto Online, respectively. -end of spoilers-

Ending
After defeating Polygon Man, the trio make their way to Los Santos where they recover their lost score. After dividing the score, the three once again go their separate ways. Michael returns to his family and takes them to the premiere of Meltdown 2, Franklin goes to a Los Santos Customs to modify his motorcycle, and Trevor returns to Blaine County where he goes on a rampage, utilizing the power he absorbed from Polygon Man.

Gameplay
Similar to Joel & Ellie, all three protagonists are playable together, although instead of being seen on-screen at all times, only one character is playable at a time, although they may be swapped at any time during a match. They share a few attacks from their predecessor, Niko Bellic, but they also possess their own unique skills. All three characters share the same moves and aerial  &  moves.
