Are you ready for this, Playa?

Founder and Leader of the original incarnation of the 3rd Street Saints, Julius Little initially formed the formidable street gang to battle the out of control violence and drug pushing that plagued the neighborhood he loved.

Building off a model by Benjamin King he'd seen and been apart of as a young man in Sunnyvale Gardens, another gang plagued community in Stilwater, Julius swore he'd never let the gang grow out of his control like Benjamin's gang, the Vice Kings, did.

Unfortunately, things seemed to get out of control as soon as he recruited a potential Enforcer one night who was caught up in gang violence on a corner down on the Row.

While he had a genuine desire to help the community, towards the end of the gangs run, he'd lost countless young people -including a young female Lieutenant, was dealing with the dangerous ambitious of one of his own, the very smart and cunning Dexter Jackson, and had unwittingly let an Undercover Police Officer into his gang and his inner circle.

Wanting the violence to end, Julius decided he had to get rid of one of the main sources.

The young Playa he'd recruiter seemed to have more of an appetite for destruction than he'd bargained for and was even more charismatic and intelligent than some of his own Lieutenants. Julius had thought Johnny was enough. He'd thought Dex was enough.

But dealing with someone who seemed to have those qualities combined and a taste for the thug life and all it's ups and downs?

Too dangerous. Too dangerous to live.

So when it came time to make a decision, to end the violence, to help the city the way he saw fit...

He decided he'd help the Playa go out with a bang.

Years later, he realized that he'd made a mistake as the Playa was even "too stubborn to die in an explosion".

He paid for it in the end.

The Row was safe, clean, gang free.

But at what cost?

He knew the Playa would never stop, but maybe, he should have never started.
