Iroh is a general and leader of the United Forces. He is the grandson of the now-retired Fire Lord, Zuko.

History
During the Equalist attack on Republic City, Tenzin sent a message to General Iroh requesting the support of the United Forces. The general accepted the request for help and expressed his desire to reclaim Republic City alongside Avatar Korra, leading his fleet of battleships toward the city.

Once Iroh and his fleet reached Republic City, they were quickly overwhelmed by the Equalist's new high-speed aircraft. With his fleet destroyed, Iroh and Team Avatar hid in the sewers of Republic City where they planned to take out the Equalist airfield. In order to prevent another destroyed fleet, Iroh sent a message to Bumi, Aang's son and fellow United Forces general, to wait with his fleet until the airfield was taken out.

When Iroh, Asami, and Bolin reached the airfield, they were taken out by the electric fence that surrounded it. When Naga broke the three out of prison, Iroh quickly intercepted a plane and destroyed the rest that were heading towards the second wave of battleships.

Abilities
Iroh has shown great skill in firebending, being able to generate lightning as well as use his firebending to propel himself through the air.
