Early Life
With the establishment of the Vice Kings in Stilwater, Packard County, Pierce couldn't resist and joined, believing it would give him a purpose.

Pierce rose through the ranks to become Ben King's second in command, eventually put in charge of the money laundering through the businesses the Vice Kings owned throughout Stilwater before they eventually expanded into a few districts in Steelport.

But in 2018, Ben was killed in a fallout between Joseph Price, leader of the Westside Rollerz and Hector Lopez, leader of Los Carnales. With no leader, everyone looked at Pierce as if he was their new leader, which he was. Believing Ben's death was not in vein Pierce, Willy, Tanya, Warren, Big Tony and Johnathan carried on Ben's legacy with the gang being re-established as the New Vice Kings.

Under Pierce's leadership, The New Vice Kings continued to expand their control across Stilwater, Newton Valley and half of Steelport not long after. Pierce's new motive was to prove that the other gangs couldn't stop the New Vice Kings' inevitable expansion and eventually make a truce-the United Front, believing they didn't have to kill each other for control instead work together as one.

Saints Row (2018)
Several days before Devil's Night, Pierce arranged for Joseph Price and Hector Lopez to meet Pierce in his penthouse. There, he offered them rewards they could not refuse and a truce, where they would work together and become a united front to control Packard County together, instead of kill each other for it.

When Devil's Night arrived, the New Vice Kings, Los Carnales and Westside Rollerz stood their ground and successfully saved their territory with little casualties. After that, everything was business as usual as Ben King used to say, that was until Shaundi came into the division and began causing chaos for all three gangs with her friends, followed by the awakening of the mafia which claimed almost 70% of NVK territory within a couple of hours.

Personality
Pierce takes his leadership very seriously and wants to get things done. He is mostly calm and makes diplomatic decisions that come with positive consequences. Like Ben King, Pierce prefers to act upon a situation when the time is right. But when Shaundi and her friends appear on his radar and interfere with New Vice King operations, his patience starts to run thin.

Being sort of aware he is in an alternate timeline/universe, Pierce knows of Shaundi's presence and some of her actions on Earth-76, especially getting credit for his ideas. Once Shaundi and her friends become a problem for what he has planned for the New Vice Kings, he takes this as an opportunity to break her spirit and remind her of how useless she used to be, relying on other people's ideas in a desperate attempt to give herself worth and get recognition. This method almost breaks Shaundi's spirit and determination in taking down the United Front, causing her serious emotional distress and a couple of emotional breakdowns.

This act makes him rather cruel towards her, even leaving his friends shocked by it, seeing his true nature. Because of this, it becomes clear that he is consumed by jealousy and hatred.

Appearance
Pierce keeps his appearance from Saints Row: The Third. However, he wears a yellow cap, button up shirt and the same chain but with the Vice Kings logo.
