Portland Triads

The Triads is 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 (interestingly enough, the warehouse used to belong to the Leones until the Triads blew it up). While it is improbable to say that the Triads are finished in Liberty City, they have definitely been irrevocably weakened because of the loss of their most powerful front.

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 which he then proved her wrong. After the Sindacco Family were forced out of Portland the Triads become a big problem for the Leones as they start to move in to the rest of Chinatown as Massimo Torini of the Sicilian Mafia had predicted them to do in order to wipe the Leones out for control at a meeting on the Chinatown rooftops as Toni was sent to follow Torini for information but ended up blowing his cover as he was spotted by the Triads killing them as he escaped. The Triads later revenge against the Leones by blowing up Salvatore Leone's warehouse in Callahan Point with Toni.

In GTA III, Triad members wear blue boiler suits and black bandannas. In GTA LCS, they wear blue tracksuits with their gang logo on the back, with black or blue pants, and black sunglasses.
