* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: He ''has'' a plausible French accent, but not the right one. His voice actor uses the French dialect from France instead of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_French Belgian French]], which has a different accent.

** Could also double as an UnfortunateName and, arguably, a MeaningfulName, since "Viola" is the third person past historic singular for "Violer", which means "to violate" or "to rape" in French. Though neither of the [=DeWynters=] have a history of rape (that we know of), they were involved in the human trafficking ring and worked for a gang that engages in [[SexSlave sex slavery]].

* BoringButPractical: Unlike the other gangs who use [[CrazyAwesome swords, shock hammers, and grenade machine guns,]] all they use are standard guns and high powered sniper rifles in the case of their specialists. Of course, said sniper rifles are probably the most powerful gun in the game, can't be picked up when the specialist dies, and have a pretty good range of effectiveness. The only real weaknesses they do have are the laser sights mounted on the gun that give away their location.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After the mission "The Ho Boat", the Morningstar gang drops from the plot entirely, not showing up for any further missions even at the end of the game. Though there is a good explanation for this in that by the end of said mission [[spoiler: their leader is dead, one of the DeWynter twins were killed by Killbane and the other defected to the Saints for revenge, and the Saints taking the prostitutes was probably a lethal blow to their already suffering business]] so it's very likely they had just gone bankrupt and disbanded. This makes them the only gang in Steelport not to have any interaction with STAG.

( TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Kiki, what did you expect a belligerent wrestler with a short fuse would do to you if you kept addressing him by his much-disliked real name purely to annoy him? That's right, he snapped your neck.]]

* BaldOfEvil: Or at least, bald''ing''. No wonder he doesn't like people pulling off his mask.

* {{GIFT}}: This exchange sums things up nicely.
--> '''Matt''': "Don't you get it? I'm God in here!"
--> '''Boss''': "That's just fine, 'cause in the real world, you're just a bitch with a keyboard."
** Latin!Boss even says that she is never letting her kids play video games. ''[[SociopathicHero The.]] [[DevilInPlainSight Boss.]]'' That's how extreme Matt is.

* FrenchJerk: ''Belgian'' jerk, more like.

* BrainsAndBondage: Averted, when Pierce and Viola are arguing together [[spoiler:when The Boss (disguised as Cyrus Temple) is escorting them as prisoners to the STAG aircraft carrier.]]

* CloudCuckoolandersMinder: Viola [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption attempts]] to be this to Boss upon joining the Saints, and she's played by Sasha Grey no less. She does at least save Boss from zombification, which was nice of her.

** His obsession with his career and loss of his mask seems like a combination of Wrestling/HulkHogan, Wrestling/RicFlair, and Wrestling/ReyMysterio.

'''Viola:''' [[spoiler:Johnny's dead because he thought he could do everything by himself.]]

* NeckSnap: His favorite way of killing [[spoiler: Just ask Kiki, although he is also the recieving end if this in the "Kill Killbane" ending]].

* BrainsAndBondage: Averted, when [[spoiler:Pierce and Viola are arguing together when The Boss (disguised as Cyrus Temple).]]

* AmbiguouslyBrown: They have pretty dark skin, possibly because they were originally going to be Asians, but were changed to avoid the stereotype of Asian women serving an older male villain. They're likely just tanned Europeans since [=DeWynter=] is a popular surname in Belgium aka Phillipe's home country.

* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler: She lectures the Boss on how their impulsive stunts got Gat killed. The Boss isn't able to come up with a retort.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After the mission "The Ho Boat", The Morningstar gang drops from the plot entirely, not showing up for any further missions even at the end of the game. Though there is a good explanation for this in that by the end of said mission [[spoiler: their leader is dead, their replacements were killed by Killbane and the other defected to the saints for revenge, and the Saints taking the prostitutes was probably a lethal blow to their already suffering business]] so it's very likely they had just gone bankrupt and disbanded.

* {{Adorkable}}: Especially in ''IV'' where we see even more just how dorky Matt can really be.

* CharacterDevelopment: When we first meet him in ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'', he's a shy, cowardly teenager who belies a truly malicious {{Troll}} when given a computer. After [[spoiler:nearly being killed and saved by the Boss,]] he becomes infinitely nicer and more courageous, to the point he even joins the Saints in their quest to bring down Zinyak. Plus, we also get to see his better qualities and his [[{{Adorkable}} sheer dorkiness.]]
