Pierce Washington, A.K.A. Kingpin, is a M.A.Y.H.E.M. field agent and a part of the Firing Squad, alongside Oni and Scheherazade. He is one of the Saints Row characters that appears in the Agents of Mayhem universe.
To unlock Kingpin as a playable character, players need to complete Operation: Royal Pain.
As the current acting leader of the Vice Kings, a week before the Devil's Night Pierce successfully unified all the gangs of Stilwater under one flag by making a deal with them. During the Devil's Night, Kingpin and his lieutenants stood as a united front effectively defending themselves against L.E.G.I.O.N.'s Ministry of Gluttony, the ministry that Persephone Brimstone was leading before she betrayed LEGION and formed MAYHEM. When Persephone turned good, she offered a job opportunity for Pierce as she was impressed by his skills. He accepted.
