Bumi


 * This article is about the commander of the United Forces. For the King of Omashu, see Bumi.

"URN"

- [He is a] bit of a wild man, but the bravest commander you'll ever meet.

Commander Bumi is Aang and Katara's second child and oldest son, as well as the only non-bender among the couple's three children. Bumi is a commander in the United Forces.

History
After being born in Avatar Aang, Katara, and Kya's family, Bumi grew up and later joined the United Forces, where he became a commander.

Bumi was sent a wire by General Iroh after his fleet was defeated by Equalist biplanes and was told to hide his armada at Red Sand Island until Iroh signaled him that it was clear to attack.

Bumi was later shown arriving at Air Temple Island, crowing and cackling atop his ship, much to the embarrassment of his younger brother, Tenzin, who seemed slightly annoyed at having to entertain his hyperactive brother. Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo, however, were delighted to see their uncle.

Personality
When Pema asked Katara if Tenzin and his siblings were as crazy as her own children, Katara replied by saying that Kya and Bumi were, while Tenzin had always been "rather serious". Bumi is described by General Iroh as being "a bit of a wild man, but the bravest commander you'll ever meet". When first arriving at Air Temple Island, Bumi let out a large bellow as a greeting, proving half of Iroh's statement.
