Azula's ship captain

"fire"

- You heard the princess! Raise the anchors! We're taking the prisoners ho–!

As the captain of one of the Fire Nation's most impressive vessels, Azula's Ship Captain had a lot of stress placed on his shoulders. It is unknown how long he had been serving Azula or the Royal Procession.

History
When Zuko and Iroh were branded traitors by Fire Lord Ozai, he traveled with the princess to capture them. Days before they found the traitors, he informed Azula that the tides would not allow them to bring the ship in before nightfall. Azula asked if the tides commanded the ship, to which he replied he didn't understand. Azula made it quite clear that she was the one in charge of the ship, and didn't care about the tides. She told him that he'd better worry less about the tides who had already made up their minds about killing him and worry more about her, who was still mulling it over.

Battle with the Traitors
When Azula successfully tricked Zuko and Iroh into the charade that her father wanted them back, it was the captain that blew their cover. He mistakenly said, "Raise the anchors, we're taking the prisoners home." Zuko and Iroh immediately realized what was going on, and Azula shot the captain a deadly glare. Zuko easily pushed him out of his way and off the ship so he could reach Azula. Even though Zuko was no match for Azula, Iroh caught her off guard and threw her off the ship.

Aftermath
It is possible that the captain was killed when Zuko threw him overboard; however, it is more likely that he survived, but was removed from the Royal Procession simply due to him being too incompetent.

Trivia

 * The creators had originally planned on Azula vaporizing her captain on the spot after his slip up, but they decided that would be too inappropriate.
