The Way of the Warrior
The Triads are steeped in the ancient traditions of their ancestors. Clan
loyalty, respect for ones superiors, selfless disregard for personal danger,
and dedication to the martial arts are some of the defining qualities of
Triad life, that and the pursuit of profit by criminal means.
Effectively existing outside mainstream society, the Triad’s criminal
underworld operates almost in parallel with the rest of the population, only
impinging on it when in the process of some illegal activity.
There are many Triad gangs or ‘families’, and their rivalry is
bitter. The resulting feuds can last for years or decades, some have even
spanned generations. In truth, the Triad clans are united only by their distrust
and contempt of outsiders.
