Lee Hong (Chinese: 李洪) is the leader of the Red Dragon Triad and one of 47's five fathers. He is killed by Agent 47 at his restaurant.

Target details

"Lee Hong: served in the French Foreign Legion for five years in Vietnam, before returning to Hong Kong. Two weeks after his arrival he poisoned his uncle and stepped in his shoes as the leader of the Red Dragon Triad. Has ruled large parts of Hong Kong for three decades. Is known publicly as 'the man with no conscience'."

Background

Early life

Lee Hong is the leader of the Red Dragon Triad. Probably born in 1930 (like his FFL comrades Ort-Meyer, Ochoa, Fuchs and Jegorov), he served in the French Foreign Legion around 1950-1955.

Through this, he was involved in secretive cloning experiments headed by Ort-Meyer, providing funding in exchange for spare organs (which is why he appears young and healthy for his age). This makes him one of 47's five genetic "fathers".

Rise to Power

Two weeks after he returned from service, he poisoned his own uncle to take control of the Red Dragon Triad, earning him the nickname "The Man With No Conscience". He had been the unquestioned ruler of the Red Dragon triads, and Hong Kong's criminal underground in general, since the early 1970s.

Downfall

By 1999 (the year of Hitman: Codename 47), he pulled his funding from Ort-Meyer's projects believing he had gone crazy. Ort-Meyer anonymously assigned 47 to kill him. As Lee Hong had become much too powerful to target early on, 47 began by instigating a war between him and the Blue Lotus Triad, to weaken both his influence and man power. 47 eventually kills him, against such threats as Lee Hong's poison-tipped sword, and his personal bodyguard Tzun, who tastes his food and escorts him everywhere.
