History
The Dark Hand was a global criminal organization that came to operate on Earth. At some point, they were headed by Valmont who looked to expand his fortunes and power. He eventually encountered a living dragonic statue that contained a caged demon named Shendu who offered him great power in exchange for the Dark Hand to acquire his lost talismans.
After reneging on his arrangement with Valmont, Shendu decimated part of the building and escaped, whereupon Valmont and his Enforcers were promptly arrested. Upon escaping from Section 13, Valmont and his men relocated to the abandoned Helm's Fish Cannery, due to the Dark Hand's financial assets being severely diminished as a result of the high-cost expeditions needed for the Talisman hunt, combined with Shendu not honoring his part of the deal and denying Valmont the Lost Treasure of Ching Xi Hung he promised him. With no resources left, the Dark Hand no longer possessed their high-tech weaponry and Valmont's hired muscle was reduced to Finn, Ratso, Chow and Hak Foo without any of the unnamed goons seen previously as well as Tohru's defection over to the Chans. Their only advantage being the discarded Talismans recovered after Shendu's defeat.
Afterwards, the Dark Hand became defunct after Valmont was met with bankruptcy from spending the organization's remaining assets on overseas expeditions for the Demon Portal hunt. From this point on, the Enforcers would soon expect an actual pay from Valmont due to their long time employment as well as being considered 'Partners' rather than 'Henchmans' if they were to do any of his bidding while at the same time, they were driven to the mercy of whatever powerful supernatural force that (forcibly) took them in as henchmen, and leaving Valmont reduced to a penniless small-time thief.
Despite the organization been terminated, the enforcers would still continue to be referred as their former status as The Dark Hand (by Jackie and friends), as they continue a new hunt under their new employer. By this point the group's resources have been reduced to nothing but their bare strengths without any weapons from either Valmont or Daolong Wong's dark chi influence,
