Stanley Hsu was a jeweler in San Francisco. He was also a member of the Triads. He served as Lucy Woo's initial contact with the Triads, and was later contacted by Paul Gomes. Hsu believed in the more honorable aspects of the Triads. However, he, like his colleagues, was very anxious to know the secret of Curious Notions, and was quite willing to resort to violence to get the truth.
