- You're gonna regret doing that, pal!

"Lightning Bolt" Zolt is the leader of the Triple Threat Triad. He is notorious in Republic City for his exploitation of non-benders and is known to solicit recruits at Central City Station.

One the most notorious crime bosses in the city, he was responsible for bringing the Triple Threats into an organized crime syndicate, using fear and violence to extort shopkeepers, steal shipments, and blackmail public figures.

History
Lightning Bolt Zolt was among four benders taken after the Equalist raid on the Triple Threat Triad's headquarters. During an Equalist gathering, he was the first bender to face Amon, who recounted Lightning Bolt Zolt's many acts of oppression over non-benders before challenging him to a duel. The two engaged in a short battle, where Amon was able to swiftly counter and block his attacks. After being subdued, Lightning Bolt Zolt's bending abilities were removed.

Personality
Lightning Bolt Zolt is a blunt often merciless man who does not hesitate to cut his enemies down. He is unconcerned of what others think of him as shown through his callous attitude towards the booing non-bender crowd gathered at Amon's rally.

Abilities
Zolt was skilled in the art of firebending. During his duel with Amon, he employed quick bursts of fire before resorting to lightning. He was able to maintain a steady stream of lightning, using it to cut through multiple metal structures with ease.

Trivia

 * Zolt's line after Amon removed his bending was the same as Ozai's when Aang removed his bending, namely "What did you do to me?"
 * Zolt's voice actor, Kevin Michael Richardson, also provided the voices of Butakha and the doorman. This supplements his previous roles as Tyro, The Big Bad Hippo, Flopsie, and the lion turtle in Avatar: The Last Airbender.
 * Zolt is the second known person to lose his bending in the Avatar universe but the first to do so in The Legend of Korra.
 * He bears resemblance to the man that Aang faced in Korra's flashback.
