Origin and Background: (Chinese-American)  Born in San Francisco but raised in Hong Kong, Tony Lin was getting in trouble at an early age. By the age of eight he was running numbers for a local Hong Kong mob. He became an enforcer when he was a teenager. His skills in Gung Fu, and his discovery of his metahuman powers, help cement his connections with his criminal "family".
        A particular bloody gang war left the Tong, that Tony was working for, leaderless. Seeing his opportunity, he siezed the leadership. He quickly had his rivals executed. His Tong carried out refenge attacks against the rival Tong which left many dead on both sides.
        This was the last straw for the authorities. They cracked down on all criminal organizations and Red Dragon found himself in control of a gutted organization. His followers were either killed in the gang warfare, or arrested by the authorities and sentence to death by the Chinese Government. The authorities were getting closer to the Red Dragon so a radical move was needed... The Red Dragon headed for the United States. He is now waging a gang war in Chinatown in an attempt to cement his powerbase there. He has taken over several gangs and even now is poised to completely rule Chinatown.
Legal Status:  Citizen of the United States of America, with a criminal record.
