History
The Red Dragon Triad were a group of Chinese traid led by Lee Hong, a seemingly untouchable crime lord, who had usurped the position from his uncle in 1970s. It had maintained absolute control over a large part of Hong Kong, up until Agent 47 instigated a mob war between the Red Dragon and the Blue Lotus Triad to assassinate Lee Hong through Dr. Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer's contract.
After instigating the death of a negotiator of the Red Dragon Triad, as well as the deaths of seven Blue Lotus Traid members (including one of their negotiators), 47 successfully sparked a gang war by framing both of the parties, and he seized this chance to inflitrate the Wang Fou Restaurant, which served as a brothel and connection to the gang, so that he could find Lee Hong and assassinate him.
After Lee Hong's demise, the Red Dragon Triad itself fell into anarchy.
