Maggie Chow

Margaret "Maggie" Chow is a femme fatale and Majestic 12 operative. At around 2052, Chow instigated a conflict between two Triad groups in Hong Kong, to the benefit of Majestic 12.

Biography
After rising to fame as a martial arts movie star, Chow's ambitions brought her to the world of business. She became a partner of the Lucky Money club and a director of VersaLife. Through VersaLife, she met Bob Page, leader of Majestic 12. Chow would also become a Majestic 12 member herself. At some point, Chow had a relationship with the second-in-command of the Red Arrow Triad, Max Chen, from which she bore a daughter named Lin-May Chen.

Sometime around 2052, the Red Arrow Triads managed to steal a prototype of the Dragon's Tooth sword from VersaLife. Acting in the interest of Majestic 12, Chow recovered the prototype sword and used it to murder the Red Arrow Leader, Yuen Kong. She then framed the murder on the Luminous Path Triads, thereby instigating a war between the two Triad groups.

Walton Simons commended Chow for her exploitation of the sword theft to escalate tensions between the Triads. Simons saw that the resulting struggle would weaken the native power structure, and solidify Majestic 12's control over Hong Kong, the first step toward expanding Majestic 12's control over China as a whole. Realizing Chow's value, Simons ordered additional MJ12 personnel to be placed under Chow's command for local operations.

At the time of JC Denton's arrival in Hong Kong, Chow lives in a luxurious high-rise penthouse in the Queen's Tower Luxury Suites on Tonnochi Road. According to some, she is well respected and is noted for giving a lot of money to fight drug trafficking and illegal trade. Others observe that she is a bad character who has too much influence in Hong Kong politics.

The Triad war instigated by Chow would come to an end as a result of JC Denton's actions in Hong Kong. Acting on behalf of Gordon Quick, JC discovers the Dragon's Tooth sword in the secret Majestic 12 quarters attached to Chow's penthouse. JC then presents the sword to Max Chen, now the leader of the Red Arrow, as proof that it was Chow who murdered the Red Arrow's former leader. Chow herself meets defeat at the hands of JC Denton.
