The '''San Fierro Triads''' are large gangs originating from Hong Kong, who have since moved to [[San Fierro]]. There are three [[Triad]] factions in San Fierro consisting of a set hierarchy with small sets answering to larger sets; the Blood Feather Triad, which would later be [[Mountain Cloud Boys (mission)|slaughtered]] by their rivals, the [[Da Nang Boys]]; the Red Gecko Tong, which is led by [[Ran Fa Li]]; and the Mountain Cloud Boys.

The SF Triads are also allied with high-ranking [[Grove Street Families]] member [[Carl Johnson]] and [[Varrios Los Aztecas]] leader [[Cesar Vialpando]], and are rivals with the [[Mafia]] ([[Leone Family]], [[Forelli Family]], [[Sindacco Family]]), the Da Nang Boys, and the [[Loco Syndicate]]. | ||
In addition to their bases of operations in San Fierro, the SF Triads also own and operate a casino hotel venture called [[The Four Dragons Casino]] on the southern tip of [[The Strip]] in [[Las Venturas]]; ownership is shared between Wu Zi Mu, Ran Fa Li and [[Carl Johnson]].

Carl Johnson, having been exiled from [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] after the fall of the Grove Street Families, works for Wu Zi Mu's faction and helps them to destroy the [[Loco Syndicate]] and neutralize the [[Da Nang Boys]] (the Triads, on the other hand, seem to be on neutral relations with San Fierro's other gang, the [[San Fierro Rifa]]). In return the Triads aid Carl in [[Breaking the Bank at Caligula's]] robbing [[Caligula's Palace]], [[Fish in a Barrel|give him a share]] in The Four Dragons Casino, and help him in [[A Home | Carl Johnson, having been exiled from [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] after the fall of the Grove Street Families, works for Wu Zi Mu's faction and helps them to destroy the [[Loco Syndicate]] and neutralize the [[Da Nang Boys]] (the Triads, on the other hand, seem to be on neutral relations with San Fierro's other gang, the [[San Fierro Rifa]]).

San Fierro Triad members don all-black suits or all-gray suits. While the Triad gang members appear on the streets in [[Chinatown, San Fierro|Chinatown]] and [[Calton Heights]] in San Fierro. Strangely, they do not appear on Las Venturas streets, even areas surrounding the Four Dragons Casino, although they can be seen on several cutscenes and missions. They usually wield [[AK-47]]s and [[Pistol|pistols]], however in certain missions they can be seen with different guns. | San Fierro Triad members don all-black suits or all-gray suits.

=== Ranks in the Triads === | |||
Much like the Italian mafia is organized and uses ranks such as [[Don]] or [[Consigliere]], the Triads use their own rank names and system. | |||
Two rank names are clearly heard or mentioned in GTA San Andreas: | |||
* '''Shuk Foo''' (Lit. ''uncle''); The Shuk Foo is the leader of a triad faction (a ''Tong'') ; [[Ran Fa Li]], for example, is the leader of the [[Red Gecko Tong]]. It can be compared to being the Don of a mafia family. Certain Tongs can also be led by '''Ah Kung''' (Lit. ''grandfather''), which is a similar rank to Shuk Foo. | |||
* '''Dai Dai Lo''' (Lit. ''big big brother''); The Dai Dai Lo leads his own group of men (sometimes informally called a "crew") and answers directly to the Shuk Foo or Ah Kung. The [[Mountain Cloud Boys]] are led by a Dai Dai Lo, [[Wu Zi Mu]]. They can be compared to the italian mafia caporegimi. | |||
Other ranks exist, though they are not mentioned in the script, they can be implied to exist as well; | |||
* '''Dai Lo''' (Lit. ''big brother''); These are the assistants of the Dai Dai Lo, who themselves are supported by men at street level. Those men organize themselves in small cliques or bands (much like how [[Carl Johnson]] can act as a clique leader by [[Recruiting|recruiting]] fellow [[Grove Street]] members) in order to carry out the Dai Lo's tasks; the clique leader is called a '''Yee Lo''' (lit. ''second brother''), while the simple members are called '''Leng Jai''' (lit. ''little kid''). It can be assumed that the Triads seen on the street are ranked as such. | |||
