Faction Information
The White Lotus Triad is the de facto representative of the Red Dragons in the Toronto sprawl. They’re a bit of an outsider among Triads, partly due to a language barrier; their members are mostly Taiwanese and Singaporean, and use the Mandarin or Taiwanese language, rather than Cantonese like the Hong Kong-based outfits. Lately, they’ve been the ones attacking the Commisso ’ndrina on behalf of the Red Dragons in Montreal, coordinated by a Red Pole (military lieutenant) named Lucky Ma. They’re also involved in the drug and sex trades in the northern suburbs of the Toronto Metroplex, as well as various forms of gambling.

Background
The dominant Triads in Toronto are the Golden Pagoda and the White Lotus, making the Toronto sprawl one of the few areas where the Red Dragon Triad isn’t the most powerful Triad around. Since the Chinese community in Toronto tends to congregate in two different areas - Chinatown in downtown Toronto, and Thornhill in the suburbs to the north - the Lotus and Pagoda have each claimed an area as their turf, and they tend to stay out of each other’s way. The Golden Pagoda controls Chinatown, while the White Lotus calls Thornhill home.
