Yung (captain)

"earth"

- Fighting the Fire Nation is the only path to freedom. And freedom is worth dying for.

Yung was the Captain of King Bumi's army. He was with King Bumi when he decided to surrender Omashu to the Fire Nation. After the enemy took control, he became leader of the resistance trying to free the city. In a way he took up Bumi's leadership (but not kingship) of the city. He later retreats from the city with his soldiers and the citizens.

History


Yung was a gung-ho Earthbender who was willing to die rather than turn Omashu over to the Fire Nation. He led the resistance, planning attacks and trying to remove the city's rulers from power, in hopes of driving the Fire Nation out and reclaiming Omashu for his people. As the newly-returned Team Avatar ponders where to find Bumi in the captured city he and his team try to assassinate the governor's family by earthbending a rock down one of the delivery slides. This attempt, however, was saved by Aang deflecting the rock.

Believing them to be the assassins, Mai, the governor's daughter, chased Aang and his friends. Despite foiling their plot Yung and the others helped him escape. Once down in the tunnels, Yung explained their frustration at merely surrendering the city without a fight. Aang convinced Yung that it was best to retreat to fight another day. Following Sokka's plan, they used pentapi prints simulate "pentapox". After they got out, he noticed they had an extra person after he did a head count, and found the governor's son was among them. He handed the toddler over to Aang who took him back.

It can be assumed that Yung and the other citizens moved back into Omashu after Bumi liberated the city.
