== History ==
When Mako and Korra approached Skoochy in Central City Station for information regarding Bolin's whereabouts, he mentioned that all the triads, including the Red Monsoons, the Triple Threats, and the Agni Kais, were recruiting new members for "something big".
Six months after the conclusion of the Anti-bending Revolution, three Red Monsoon Triad members were involved in a chase with police officer Mako. While trying get away on their truck, two waterbenders created a smoke screen behind their vehicle to obscure the firebender's vision. One of the criminals froze the street before the officer's motorcycle, causing it to briefly spiral out of control. Afterward, Mako was able propel himself into the air through the use of his firebending, where he delivered a powerful fire blast to the gangster's truck, causing it to crash into a fire hydrant and flip over. The defeated triad members were mocked by their pursuer before being taken into custody.
Several months later, the main hideout of the Red Monsoon Triad became the location of a stakeout led by Detective Mako.
