Los Santos Triads

Overview

The Los Santos Triads are a Chinese organized crime syndicate in Grand Theft Auto V, run by Wei Cheng. They move drugs and weapons between China and the United States, much of it through the Port of Los Santos.

History

By 2013 the Triads want to expand into the Blaine County meth business. Their attempt to find a local partner brings them into conflict with Trevor Philips.

Territory

The Triads operate in Los Santos, especially around the port and their business interests in the city, and briefly in Blaine County.

Leadership and members

• Wei Cheng: the boss.
• Tao Cheng: his son and envoy.
• Cheng's Translator: interpreter for the family.

Role in the story

Tao visits Trevor's meth lab in Trevor Philips Industries, but an Aztecas attack spoils the meeting and the Triads choose the O'Neil brothers instead. Trevor answers with violence in Crystal Maze. The Triads then follow Michael and Trevor to Ludendorff in Bury the Hatchet, capture Michael and hold him at the Raven Slaughterhouse, where Franklin rescues him in Fresh Meat. In The Third Way, Franklin kills Wei Cheng outside the Pacific Bluffs Country Club.

Relations with other gangs

The Triads ally briefly with the O'Neil brothers and are enemies of Trevor Philips Enterprises.
