- By decree of Phoenix King Ozai, I now crown you Fire Lord...

The High Sage is the highest member of the Fire Sages stationed at the Fire Sages Capital Temple in the Fire Nation Capital.

History
After Prince Zuko was given a scroll guiding him toward the Dragonbone Catacombs, he watched as the High Sage entered the catacombs by standing in the middle of an intricate symbol embedded in the temple courtyard and firebending into the ground. This triggered the mechanism and opened a hidden door, allowing him to descend into the catacombs.

After Fire Lord Ozai declared himself the Phoenix King and appointed Azula as the new Fire Lord, the High Sage was about to crown her when Zuko and Katara interrupted the coronation. Even though Zuko declared that he would be the new Fire Lord, not Azula, the High Sage proceeded with crowning Azula. He was halted, however, when she proceeded to duel with her brother.

Trivia

 * It is interesting to note that both this sage and the sage who crowned Zuko Fire Lord are credited to Keone Young as 'High Sage', despite their different appearances.
