- So, the resistance has kidnapped my son. Everything so clever, so tricky. Just like their King Bumi.

The Governor of New Ozai was the Fire Nation authority in the city, appointed by Fire Lord Ozai himself. He is the father of Mai and Tom-Tom.

History


This man was chosen by the Fire Lord to govern Omashu, renamed New Ozai after the Fire Nation takeover. He moved there with his wife, his daughter Mai, and his infant son Tom-Tom.

To resist the Governor's rule, the citizens of Omashu devise a plan involving the Purple Pentapus. The next morning, all the citizens show up with marks on their skin from the pentapus, making them look diseased. The Governor orders the citizens to be driven out of the city, thinking there is a plague. He later sends a messenger falcon bearing a message to the resistance. The Governor thinks that the Earthbenders kidnapped his son (who went missing around this time) and used the disease as cover. He offers to trade King Bumi, former ruler of Omashu, for his son. Azula meets with the Governor and decides he has done poorly due to the chain of events that occurred during the previous day and renames the city, "New Ozai." Later, Aang goes to the Governor's house to return his son.



Though the Governor cares greatly for his family, he is a weak ruler whose faulty assumptions often lead to poor decisions. His concern for his family also clearly comes before his allegiance to the Fire Lord, as is demonstrated by his spontaneous offer to trade one of the Fire Nation's most valuable and powerful prisoners for his missing son.

When the Day of Black Sun arrived, King Bumi liberated Omashu and destroyed the Fire Nation Palace in the city. What became of the Governor, his wife and his son is unknown.

Other Appearances
