Triads In Republic City

[Zuka]

Agni Kai

Leader: Han
Turf: The Dragon Flats

The Agni Kai’s consist solely of firebenders, they are a fierce group that routinely engage in turf wars with the other Triads. With the most literal firepower, they are also the boldest Triad often engaging in smash and grab robberies. They then launder the stolen cash by loaning it out to needy citizens with nowhere else to turn. With a high interest rates those that the Kai's loan money to often find themselves in deep debt. Unfortunately the only currency the Kai's accept is yuans and burned flesh,making it a very dangerous idea to not pay up. The Kai's also are the premier peddlers of Red Ash.

Triple Threats

Leader: Viper
Turf: Downtown

Once considered the largest and most powerful Triad. The Triple Threat Triad, also known as the Triple Threats, was the largest of the triads that operate in Republic City. Led by Viper, in the wake of Lightning Bolt Zolt losing his bending they were the first gang that consisted of waterbenders, earthbenders, and firebenders, as opposed to the other single-element focused gangs. The Triple Threats work out of the back of a restaurant near Central City Station. Downtown Republic City is considered to be their turf; Members of the Triple Threats, such as Shady Shin, are known to solicit recruits at Central City Station. Given the variety in their nature The Triple Threats are known to deal in a variety of vices which often puts them in direct competition with the other triads

Red Monsoons

Leader: Open
Turf: Yue Bay and the Port district

Made entirely of waterbenders the Red Monsoons deal almost exclusively in the port district and the docks of Republic City. With their waterbending prowess they specialize in smuggling everything from counterfeit good to people that need to enter into the city under the radar. Given their expertise (and their not so secret habit of sinking competing ships) other Triads often "hire out" their own smuggling needs to the Red Monsoons, giving the Monsoons the reputation of being the most diplomatic of the Triads. They are also the major importer of Black Fin in the city.

Terra Triad

Leader: Lao
Turf: Industrial District

The Terra Triad is the all earthbending triad that operates out of the industrial area. Making use of their earth and metal bending the Terra's have set up businesses such as construction companies to launder their money and mechanic shops to serve as fronts for thier real business, running the largest Satomobile thievery ring in the city. They sell off the higher end cars on the black market and sell off the parts from the lower quality vehicles to various mechanic shops under their thumb. The Terra’s also deal in căo and are the largest and most predominant dealers of the drug in the city as few Triads can match the raw brute force that the Terra's bring to the table.

The Dolls

Leader: Zuka
Turf: Golden Phoenix district

An all bending, all female Triad the Dolls operate in the Golden Phoenix district around the Pro Bending Arena. The Dolls deal primarily in gambling and you can often find their runners amongst the crowds of the Probending matches in case your looking for a little action. They also own the Blue Dragon nightclub and operate a few floating "casinos" within the district. On top of the gambling circuit the Dolls offer protection for anyone in their territory. Given that this protection does not cost, it has earned them a decent reputation amongst the people, but has also forced them to be twice as vicious when dealing with other triads in order keep their small but very profitable slice of turf

Platinum Fist Triad

Leader: Open
Turf: The Dragon Flats

The first and only non bending triad. The Platinum Fist is made up mainly of ex Equalist looking for ways to make the benders pay and they go out of their way to make their presence known. With so many non benders crammed into one area the Dragon Flats has long been known to be a hot spot of Triad activity, the bending Traids using their power to prey on the districts poorer, nonbending citizens. The Fist have decided to put a end to that and have set up shop inside the Dragon Flats and will violently clash with any Triad that comes their way. They have started to make a niche for themselves by selling now illegal electro-gloves and batons on the black market as well as other re-purposed tech.They may be small in number but what they lack in members they more than make up for in violence and ruthlessness.
