About Uncle Fu
Fu runs an extortion business and describes it as a tradition of his ancestors. His police file says he is over 130 years old, but no birth records exist to prove it. The list of past offences is mostly a joke, including lighting firecrackers on a Tuesday, stealing fire from the gods and inventing bronze, alongside real crimes such as piracy, illegal opium trading, extortion and looting. He is currently under investigation for extortion, robbery, running an illegal bus pass ring, murders and putting offensive words in fortune cookies. Uncle Fu has no known associates on file.
Uncle Fu’s Crime Syndicate
The syndicate operates out of Chinatown and has the Yakuza among its affiliations. Its main enemies are El Burro and his gang, and Fu’s nephew No Chin even attacks El Burro’s Love Wagon. Other named members include Hung Well, Pu Ling, Chu Ying, Pu Ping, Ho Ching, Lei Ming, Chu Wing Dung, Hang Yu, Yu Pong, Wun Tun Chun, Ho Hung, Long Wang, Chow Yun Thin and Keith Ham Yel Tun.
