Chin

History
A conqueror and warlord born over 370 years ago, Chin was a ruthless tyrant and managed to take control of most of the Earth Kingdom, save Ba Sing Se in the northeast and the Kyoshi Peninsula in the southwest. When Chin demanded that Avatar Kyoshi surrender her homeland to him, Kyoshi instead split it from the mainland, accidently killing Chin by causing him to fall of the newly formed cliffs and creating Kyoshi Island. The village of Chin, located at the split of the Kyoshi Peninsula, is named in his honor.
