HistoryEdit

The leader (Dai Lo) of the Lucky Hands Triad in Gotham City, Ekin Tzu was manipulated into following Whisper A'Daire after her associate Kyle Abbot killed his wife Mei Ling and blamed it on the Russian gangsters of the Odessa mob. Although he was given an immortality potion which granted him raven-like attributes, his devotion to the teachings of the T'ung Shu meant that he surrendered his will to the Batman, since he bore the insignia of a most sacred creature. He later turned entirely against the Triad, determined to destroy it completely. It is unknown how this endeavor ended, but it was unsuccessful.

His position is later taken over by a woman named Kwan Lin. She is killed at the gang summit in War Games with her bodyguard Silver Monkey.^[1] When the Triad fights over who should replace her, it's mentioned that Ekin Tzu is dead.^[2]
