- So listen, I got an offer for you.

"Shady" Shin is a criminal recruiter based in Republic City, affiliated with the Triple Threat Triad, who has been recruiting members for their leader, Lightning Bolt Zolt. According to Mako, he has been doing this in order to prepare for a turf war among the gangs of Republic City.

History
As Bolin was attempting to earn money for pro-bending expenses by having Pabu perform tricks at Central City Station, he was approached by Shady Shin, who tried to recruit him to do some "security work" for the Triple Threat Triad. Despite Bolin's initial hesitation, due to Mako's warning to stay away from the Triple Threats, Shady Shin managed to persuade him by offering a substantial amount of yuans for the job. The two took off to the Triple Threat Triad's headquarters, where they eventually got kidnapped by Equalists.

At the Equalists' assembly the next evening, Shady Shin was brought to the stage along with Lightning Bolt Zolt, Bolin, and two other benders to serve as Amon's demonstration as to what he was going to do to the benders of the world. Shady Shin was the second bender to be given the chance to fight Amon to keep his bending powers. However, just as Lightning Bolt Zolt before him, Amon proved too much for him and his bending was taken away.
