In the GTA III Era Liberty City The '''Triads''' are an East-Asian gang based in [[Portland Island]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. Though the Liberty City Triads appear to be a petty street gang, it is evident that they are beginning to dabble in organized crime; including extortion, most notably that of [[Mr. Wong's Laundrette]], which had been the source of several problems for the [[Leone Family]], as well as pushing [[Drugs|drugs]] for the [[Colombian Cartel]] via "Chunky" [[Lee Chong]]. They also own The Turtle's Head [[fish factory]] in [[Callahan Point]], [[Portland]].

While it is improbable that the Triads were finished in Liberty City, they were definitely irrevocably weakened because of the loss of their most powerful asset.

The '''Triads''' are the Chinese crime syndicate in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]] that operate out of the [[Chinatown, Liberty City|Chinatown]] district in [[Algonquin]] as well as parts of [[Dukes]] in [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]]. They are mostly involved with drug shipping.
The [[LCPD Database|LCPD database]] states that there are three different sets of the Triads. [[Jaoming Family|The most important group]] of Triads are under [[Hsin Jaoming]] and his son [[Chan Jaoming]]. [[Lee Family|Another group]] is led by [[Wu Lee|Wu "Kenny" Lee]] and his nephew [[Huang Lee]]. [[Ming Family|The third group]] is controlled by [[Zhou Ming]]. The Jaoming Family is said to supply the [[The Angels of Death]] and [[Korean Mob]] with narcotics.
===In [[Chinatown Wars]]===
{{Spoiler}}
Just prior to the events of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, [[Mr. Lee]], father of [[Huang Lee]] and top contender to replace the retiring [[Hsin Jaoming]] as Triad leader, is murdered under mysterious circumstances in Kowloon. Huang travels to Liberty City to deliver his father's sword, [[Yu Jian]], to the new head of the Lee family, Uncle Wu "Kenny" Lee, who intends to present it to Hsin in order to gain favor for the position of Triad boss. Unbeknownst to Hsin, the sword is actually worthless, it's tradition having been invented by Mr. Lee after he won it in a card game. As Huang Lee arrives at [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]], he is ambushed by several mysterious thugs, who steal the sword and leave Huang for dead.
Having fallen out of favor with Hsin for the loss of the sword, Kenny enlists his nephew's help in regaining lost territory and reputation, while Huang continues his search for both the burglars of Yu Jian and the identity of his father's killer. He goes on to work for underbosses Chan Jaoming, the feeble minded son of Hsin with a penchant for street races, and Zhou Ming, a narcisist who sometimes displays borderline psychotic behavior.

Hsin's instance that a federal informant is compromising Triad business leads to severe retribution. Under Hsin's orders, Huang executes several Triads suspected of being the rat, and a brief war between the Triads and the Korean [[Midtown Gang|Midtown Gangsters]], who had long been loyal to the Triads. With the aid of [[LCPD]] detective [[Wade Heston]], Huang discovers that a sect of the Midtown Gangsters, a group of assassins known as the [[Wonsu Nodong]], was responsible for the theft of Yu Jian and harboring the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation#Grand Theft Auto IV|FIB]] rat. A document recovered by Heston names both Chan and Zhou as rats, and Huang kills them on Hsin's orders. Hsin promptly passes Triad leadership to Uncle Kenny and announces his intention to retire to Macau.
However, Heston learns the document incriminating Chan and Zhou was a fake, and at a meeting on [[Charge Island]], Huang discovers that his uncle Kenny is the rat, murdered his brother, the father of Huang, and orchestrated the theft of Yu Jian with the Koreans. Hunag pursues Kenny to Hsin's mansion, where he injures Hsin with Yu Jian, the weapon having been in his possession all along. Huang takes his revenge and kills Kenny, leaving the Triads without a leader. The wounded Hsin offers the position to Huang, who does not respond.
==Vehicles==
The Triads are seen to drive a number of customized vehicles from 2008 to 2009, the time periods of Grand Theft Auto IV and Chinatown Wars.
In GTA IV, a Triad variant of the [[Feroci]], known as the JDM VIP, can be seen driven by Triad gangsters in Chinatown, Algonquin. It features a chin and spoiler not seen on standard Ferocis, as well as gold rims, a dark blue paintjob, and Chinese knotting hung from the rearview mirror. It displays superior performance to the standard Feroci.
In addition to the JDM VIP, the Triads also drive custom variants of the [[Intruder]] known as the Intruder VX, which sport a red paintjob, sideskirts and a spoiler, and the same knotting seen on the Triad Ferocis.
In Chinatown Wars, the custom Ferocis and Intruders have seemingly been replaced by a custom variant of the Hellenbach. Painted in the Triad's signature lavender purple, it features a white stripe running the length of the car, large bumpers and sideskirts, blue neon undeglow visible only at night, and nitrous-enhanced top speed. It can be seen patrolling Triad territory in Cerveza Heights and Chinatown, and typically contains one to two Triad gangsters armed with SMGs.

The Triads are an East-Asian gang based in Portland Island, Liberty City. Though the Liberty City Triads appear to be a petty street gang, it is evident that they are beginning to dabble in organized crime; including extortion, most notably that of Mr. Wong's Laundrette, which had been the source of several problems for the Leone Family, as well as pushing drugs for the Colombian Cartel via "Chunky" Lee Chong. They also own The Turtle's Head fish factory in Callahan Point, Portland.

In GTA III, they are the initial enemy of Claude, while he works for the Leone family. An all-out war between the Triads and the Leones erupted as the Triads attempted to muscle in on Leone businesses in Chinatown. The war concluded after three of the Triad warlords were assassinated and their fish factory was destroyed by a Leone truck bomb (ironically, the warehouse used to belong to the Leones until the Triads blew it up). While it is improbable that the Triads were finished in Liberty City, they were definitely irrevocably weakened because of the loss of their most powerful asset.

In GTA LCS, the Triad gang's unnamed leader and some other gang members were killed by Toni Cipriani after his mother had assumed that he left Liberty City because he was scared of the Triads. He proved her wrong. After the Sindacco Family were forced out of Portland, the Triads became a big problem for the Leones as they started moving in on the rest of Chinatown. Massimo Torini of the Sicilian Mafia had predicted them to do so. It was part of his plan to destroy all other mob influence in Portland. Toni was sent to follow Torini through Chinatown for information, but he was spotted by the Triads, whom he killed during his escape. The Triads later retaliated by blowing up Salvatore Leone's warehouse in Callahan Point.

In GTA III, Triad members wear blue boiler suits and black bandannas. They carry baseball bats and pistols. In GTA Advance they wear cyan suits, and they drive Wongs instead of Fish Vans. In GTA LCS, they wear blue tracksuits with their gang logo on the back, with black or blue pants, and black sunglasses. They carry meat cleavers and pistols.

The favourite radio station of the Triads is Chatterbox FM. The favorite radio station of the Triads in GTA Liberty City Stories is Flashback FM.
