Audio Logs (Matt Miller) - Saints Row IV: Re-Elected
This marks the final video in the era of Matt Miller, and what better end than with his audio logs that give a bit of insight into his history?
I still can't believe that I was right when his VA turned out to be Yuri Lowenthal. I was thinking to myself "You know who he kinda sounds like? I should look it up.". But at the same time, I'm not surprised.
Now this also validates me saying that Matt looks scene/emo, because those tend to be a lot of the kinds of characters that Yuri does the voices for, or at least in the way they look xP
And imo, Matt is Yuri's best character that I've seen. He's got so much personality and sass. In this video alone, he comments on The Boss' driving with something ending either in "Is that racially motivated" or "Is that racially automated?". Either context made me laugh.
Also, I just found out... Matt's only 21 in this game (Guess The Boss likes 'em young, eh? Wait, how old is she?), which means he was just 16 in the last game. Damn that's young for... well what he was doing @_@
Anyway, since it's the last video with him tagging along as a Homie like this, here's the summary of (16 year old) Matt Miller in the previous game:
Little information is given about Matt's background. Matt is "the youngest and newest member of the Syndicate", "an extremely talented hacker from England" and was first recruited into the Syndicate because "Phillipe couldn't figure out how to use his cell phone".
He frequently attends Syndicate meetings in person, and has a girlfriend who lives in Burns Hill.
He completely drains the 3rd Street Saints' bank accounts after The Boss and Shaundi land in Steelport. After the death of Phillipe Loren, Killbane assumes full control of the Syndicate and Matt voices very little objection, mostly out of fear. After the Saints raid the Morningstar cargo ship and recover hoes, Matt anonymously calls The Boss and offers to buy them back. Killbane is enraged by Matt's actions and Matt promises to ask his consent of every decision from that point on. He witnesses Killbane kill Kiki DeWynter with a one-handed neck snap, which causes both him and Viola DeWynter to panic. The Boss and Shaundi plan to assassinate Killbane by sniping him off from their helicopter, but are narrowly thwarted when Matt hacks into the helicopter's flight computer and overloads it with an EMP, causing it to crash. Matt then mocks The Boss by sending him a text reading "Cheers ;)".
Matt manages to get surveillance of Kinzie Kensington's "inner sanctum" through her own personal computer. After gaining key information, he mocks Kinzie and The Boss on video. It is the first time The Boss sees and hears Matt. Kinzie eventually figures out how to upload The Boss' subconscious into the "Decker Use-Net" using a stolen NEMO device, where The Boss defeats Matt in combat despite Matt's control over the virtual world's laws of physics. Because too much shock in the virtual world would leave him brain-dead, Matt is threatened with death and convinces The Boss to spare him in exchange for either weapon or car customization discounts.
Immediately after his defeat, Matt Miller nervously requests from Killbane to let him leave the Syndicate. To Matt's surprise, Killbane graciously lets him go and offers to let him "list [Killbane] as a reference anytime". A post-mission news report by Jane Valderamma reveals that after leaving town, Matt Miller swore off modern technology and left the world of hacking. Valderamma also claims that former associates of Mr Miller has stated that he has always been fascinated by Neo-Luddism and decided it was time to make a change.
