Chow

Chow is an Earth Kingdom fruit merchant native from the Lower Ring of Ba Sing Se. He is the brother of San and uncle of Mako and Bolin.

History
In 171 AG, Mako and Bolin stumbled across Chow's fruit stand, unknowingly butting heads with Tu, who was watching the stand. Chow recognized the boys immediately as his long-lost nephews to his brother San, and brought them back to his home to meet the rest of the family. It was here that he learned of his brother's death, and explained the events that led San to move from Ba Sing Se to Republic City. The family reacted in shock when the boys explained that they had journeyed to Ba Sing Se with Avatar Korra in search of airbenders. Chow explained that, a week ago, the Dai Li abducted one of their neighbors who started airbending.
