Sha-Mo

History


Sha-Mo is a Sandbender who has spent his life in the Si Wong Desert and is a master of survival in that harsh environment. He is a man of importance in his tribe of sandbenders who inhabit the great Si Wong desert. A hard, grizzled man of few words, Sha-Mo is proud of his Sandbender heritage and quick to anger when faced with the preconceptions that outsiders often have about Sandbenders: that they're thieves and bandits that prey on anyone traveling through the desert. He had a son, Ghashiun, with his wife Yulduz. Yulduz died of skin cancer, (a common affliction in the sun-drenched Si Wong), and he was left to raise his son on his own. He attempted to stick up for his son when Toph accused him of stealing Appa. He gave up when Aang entered the Avatar State.
