Zhao takes these oaths so seriously that he has killed many men for breaking even one of them. Zhao is also not a man who takes kindly to failure, if a member of his organization fails a minor task they may face something as little as a fine. However, the more severe the failure the worse the punishments, one of the most famous being the severing of a mans fingers.
He deals with with his customers with the respect they deserve. A lowly gang member will receive respect that is "equal to his status" which is a fancy way of saying that he is going to be treated like shit. On the flip side, a more respectable customer such as a mob boss may be treated with more dignity.
History:
Yian was born in China, the son of a low income farmer who despised the Chinese government for keeping him in poverty. Yian learned to hate the communists and as he grew up he began to contemplate ways to defy them, however he was drafted into the Chinese military after tensions with North and South Korea rose and the Chinese were worried that more soldiers were needed. While in the PLA he got involved with the Heaven and Earth triad movement, who explained to him that communism was not the problem, it was the way the Chinese government went about it. When his service for the PLA was completed he found himself becoming a member of the Heaven and Earth group. He worked for the resistance movement for multiple years, marrying a woman and having a child in the process.
It was not until the Early 90s that a Chinese special operations unit raided the Heaven and Earth societies headquarters and killed Zhao's wife. Zhao and his young son were forced to flee China to America where he fell in with the Wo-Shin-WU triad Mafia. After they discovered his work with the Heaven and Earth society they quickly inducted him in. He now is the primary Chinese Indentured Servant and Slave runner in the US, using PLA contacts to get heavy weaponry and Chinese citizens into the states. His organization runs a few rackets and extorts business owners who were brought to the states on the Triads dollar and now owe money, however they focus primarily on their slave and servant trades.
