The police chief who works for the Hong Kong Police Department, while secretly loyal to both of the Red Dragon Triad and Blue Lotus Triad by providing police protection.
In order to lessen Lee Hong's Police protection, 47 planned to assassinate the Chief of Police, as well as the Blue Lotus negotiator, framing the Red Dragon Triad for the attack.

Background[]
"The Chief of Police has been on the Triad's payroll for many years.
There is a delicate balance between the Hong Kong Families. Thanks to the efforts expended by the Chief of Police this balance is maintained. He is the linchpin, securing a stable situation with two equally powerful triads in the same area. None of the triads wish him replaced with a new incorruptible hardliner who is not familiar with the Triad traditional rules."

The Chief was willingly on the payroll of the Triads for many years, during which time he maintained a strong sense of stability and a delicate balance between the Hong Kong families. For him to be replaced with a younger and incorruptible chief, unfamiliar with the ways of the underworld, would spell disaster for the Triads, Lee Hong specifically.
Personality[]
He is a cautious man, ordering his subordinates to frisk search both Triads' emissaries for weapons, and doubted 47 as the Red Dragon Triad's emissary when he saw him due to his European appearance. However, those pre-emptive actions failed to prevent his eventual death by 47.
Death[]
Due to the events of 47's second hit, war was brewing between the Blue Lotus and the Red Dragon Triad. Since he was on both triads' payroll, he stepped in to preserve the peace. During a planned sit down between the Triads and the Police at the Cheung Chau Fish Restaurant, 47 killed all three, and made the attack look like it was perpetrated by the Red Dragon Triad. After his death, the Red Dragon Triad complete loses their police protection, giving 47 and the ICA the perfect opportunity to strike Lee Hong.

Trivia[]
- He is the first high ranking police-officer that 47 had to assassinate, albeit a corrupt one. The second officer is Inspector Albert Fournier, though he is killed to protect 47's identity. The third one is Clive Skurky, who is killed after 47 fails to rescue Victoria, who is being held at Skurky's Sheriff Office.
- There is no such rank as Chief in Hong Kong Police Force. The developers must have mistaken it for Commissioner of Police. During the time frame of the Codename 47 and its remake, Contracts, 1999-2000, the real acting commissioner would have been Eddie Lui.
- In Hitman: Codename 47, he also appears in Lee Hong's target footage in The Lee Hong Assassination mission's briefing.
