Lu and Gang

Lu and Gang are two detectives of the Republic City police force. They are on the same force as Mako, working under the orders of Chief Lin Beifong.

History
Lu and Gang were at the harbor arresting a group of men when Team Avatar arrived in Republic City on Varrick's yacht.

The two detectives were appointed to the case of the bombing of the Southern Water Tribe Cultural Center, tasked with apprehending the culprits. As such, they received the remote control Mako managed to obtain from the bombers. However, believing the Northern Water Tribe to be behind the bombing, they did not put much effort into investigating the device.

After Mako made a breakthrough in the case by identifying the firebender he had seen fleeing the scene as a member of the Agni Kai Triad, Lu and Gang decided to prank the rookie officer upon his arrival at the police headquarters by sending him into Lin's office, knowing that she was in a meeting with President Raiko and would not be pleased with an interruption. They made fun of Mako and laughed as they heard the chief snap at him, but acted apologetic toward him upon his return. Although he did not buy their act, he chose to ignore it and disclosed his findings to them about the apparent suspect. However, opposed to taking action, they just filed the image away and remained convinced a Northerner was responsible, telling Mako to stop investigating the case.

The two officers were later present as Avatar Korra barged into the department to confront Mako over ratting her out to Raiko.

Personality
Lu and Gang are rather indolent men who do not take their job as cops very seriously; even when given leads on cases, they show little inclination to investigate. Instead, they spend their time mocking and playing pranks on Mako, and teasing him with names like "super cop", displaying a degree of immaturity.

Trivia

 * Lu and Gang apparently share a close bond with each other, as they had even created a special hand shake they performed when successfully pulling pranks on Mako.
