Trivia[]
- Scheherazade is a story teller from the Arabian book One Thousand and One Nights, who told 1000 stories, just like Scheherazade has one for every person she killed.
- Scheherazade's Killer Kold agent skin and Absolute Zero weapon skin are most likely references to Sub-Zero and Frost from the Mortal Kombat series.
- Scheherazade's Terrapin Terror agent skin and Sewer Strikers weapon skin (from the Legal Action Pending DLC) are no doubt a reference to Leonardo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.
- Scheherazade's Reptile Eyes agent skin and Cold Slitter weapon skin (from the Firing Squad DLC) are presumably references to the character Snake Eyes and the band Cold Slither from the G.I. Joe series.
- It may be possible that Scheherazade may be aware of the previous timeline in Saints Row, as during a conversation with Kingpin, she references him being the mayor of Steelport, a star in Gangstas in Space and traveling across time and space, whilst fighting a giant energy drink. These are references to scenes in Saints Row The Third and Saints Row IV
- According to Safeword, Scheherazade has 637 aliases that she is aware more, to which Scheherazade teases that there are more than a thousand and one aliases.
- Scheherazade's line is a reference to One Thousand and One Nights.
