 * This is the article about the current Dai Li leader. For the previous Dai Li leader, see Long Feng.

- More than cooperating, she's really taken charge. She's terrifying, and inspirational at the same time. It's hard to explain. ..

The Head of the Dai Li acted as representative of the Dai Li corps, and personal spokesman for the Dai Li's main body. It's possible he was an Earthbending master and manipulator like Long Feng. His ultimate loyalty remained with his fellow Dai Li agents, and his decisions were always based upon choosing the best path for them, and under the person with the most power. Before Azula's coup in Ba Sing Se, the person with most power was Long Feng, whom he answered to directly, acting as his understudy, apprentice and right-hand man. It is quite likely that he would have been Long Feng's successor, had his loyalties remained with Long Feng.

History
After Azula's arrival, the Dai Li Leader answered to Long Feng through Azula, and was under her charge during the Ba Sing Se coup. It was during this time that his and the Dai Li's allegiance began to convert to Azula.

Azula, recognizing this new loyalty when the coup of the Five Generals and the Earth King was essentially finished, confronted Long Feng as he was about to double-cross her, in front of the Dai Li agents.

After Long Feng admitted defeat, the Dai Li's allegiance immediately transferred to Azula. After her coup at Ba Sing Se, being the representative and general leader of the Dai Li, he was one of the selected agents Azula took with her on her journey back to the Fire Nation. He resumed his role as spokesperson for the Dai Li, and answered to Azula during the comet's arrival. Azula's escalating paranoia made her banish him and the Dai Li, along with all other subjects under her command due to fear of being betrayed.

What happened to him, and the rest of the Dai Li, after the War is unknown.
