Triple Threat Triad headquarters

The Triple Threat Triad headquarters is the base of operations for the Triple Threat Triad, Republic City's most notorious organized crime faction and gang. It is disguised as a restaurant and is located on a minor roadway in downtown Republic City, near Central City Station.

History
After Mako and Bolin's parents were murdered by a firebending mugger, they joined the Triple Threat Triad to be able to able to fend for themselves. At the headquarters, Mako would "run some numbers" for the gang.

Although they eventually abandoned the triad, Mako and Bolin revisited the headquarters years later. Shady Shin managed to persuade Bolin into joining a turf war the triad needed extra recruits for. He promised him compensation for his work. However, when the two arrived at the headquarters, they were ambushed and subsequently kidnapped by the Equalists, who also captured their leader, Lightning Bolt Zolt. Later, Mako and Korra went to the headquarters, searching for Bolin, but realized he wasn't there and that a battle had happened. They went out the back entrance and found several Equalists. Bolin was tied up inside a truck. Mako and Korra chased after them, but failed to save Bolin.

Description
Located at the heart of Republic City's downtown, the Triple Threat Triad headquarters looks much like the buildings that surround it. It is six stories tall and has a straight, dull gray facade with multiple windows on every floor save the first. The windows are rectangular, but have a slightly rounded top. The bottomost floor has all the entryways, and the main entrance has steps that lead up to a small porch with a wooden floor, roof, railing and door having two diamond-shaped windows. The door can easily be knocked down, as demonstrated by Korra. Thugs usually guard this doorway.

The first floor of the building's interior has many wooden tables and chairs. The tables are circular and have four legs. There is generally at least one chair to a table, although they are often of differing sizes and designs. This floor has a back entrance that opens to an alleyway sidewalk.

The walls and ceilings of the building are filled with grand and ornate designs, typically of orange, green, or brown color. A rectangular design pattern is common on the walls of the first story. The design patterns of the ceiling are more squared-off and simplistic, consisting of brown lines and an orange background. Although most patterns are geometric and have symmetry, some tend to be more circular, wavy, and irregular. A large circle is painted on the wall of the first floor, and a curved line is above it. This floor has at least two mirrors.
