Calm man

"earth"

- But Aunt Wu predicted the village wouldn't be destroyed and it wasn't. She was right, after all.

This calm old man was a resident of Makapu Village and, like all the other residents, had total and complete faith in Aunt Wu's predictions. That was the reason why he stayed calm, even while being attacked by a platypus bear.

History
When Aang, Katara, and Sokka first met him, he was being attacked by a platypus bear. The group saved him, and inquired why he had not simply run away; he answered that Aunt Wu had predicted he would have a safe journey, and that she had never been wrong. He proceeded to hand Aang a package, stating that Aunt Wu had instructed him to give that to the first person he encountered, and went on his journey. The package turned out to be an umbrella, which came in handy when it started to drizzle shortly afterwards. The group ventured toward Makapu Village, where they saved the town from being destroyed by lava of the erupting Mount Makapu. When Sokka challenged the beliefs of the villagers in Aunt Wu's predictions once more, it was the calm man who pointed out to Sokka that Aunt Wu's prediction that the village wouldn't be destroyed had come true, as the volcano had not destroyed the village, causing Sokka to snap, "I hate you." Katara quickly pulled him away, saying, "It's okay, Sokka, everything's going to be alright."
