Benjamin King was the leader and founding father of the Vice Kings. According to Johnny Gat, the Vice Kings are named after Benjamin King himself, a right he earned. He appears as the primary antagonist-turned-antihero of the Vice Kings story arc in the original Saints Row (as the role of antagonist was taken over by Tanya Winters) and then appeared as a main character and ally in Saints Row IV. He was voiced by the late Michael Clarke Duncan in the first game, who is also known for playing the Kingpin in the 2003 film Daredevil, and he was replaced by Terry Crews in the fourth game.
