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. | |||
