History


While travelling alone, Zuko first meets Lee when he is buying food for his ostrich horse and himself. Lee and his friends throw some eggs at Gow, and quickly hide. Seeing Zuko as the only one around, Gow blames him and takes his food. Lee regrets getting Zuko in trouble and invites him to his house for food. Lee warms up to Zuko, thinking of him like an older brother. Lee also reminds Zuko of himself as a younger child. Late at night, Lee steals Zuko's broadswords and practices with them in the fields. Zuko wakes and confronts the boy, but instead of scolding him for the theft or the harm Lee could do to himself, Zuko gives Lee a short lesson on how to use the broadswords. Before he leaves, Zuko gives Lee his knife, the one given to him by Iroh and the one Iroh and he used to cut their topknots when they escaped Azula's attempt to arrest them. In another confrontation with Gow, Lee pulls the knife on them and is taken away from his mother. Zuko eventually rescues Lee from the guards but uses his Firebending to do so and also revealing his Fire Nation royal status during the battle. After the battle, Zuko tells Lee to keep the knife, but Lee quickly shoves him away, refusing to take the gift and saying "No, I hate you!" after realizing Zuko's origins.

What happened to him after the War ended is unknown.
