- Humph! You cannot keep protecting him from his destiny.

The elder monk was one of five monks in charge of the Southern Air Temple. This elder was one of the monks who told Aang of his Avatar status. He was very strict and adamant about getting Aang to train.



One day he walks into a room seeing Monk Gyatso and Aang playing Pai Sho. He yells: "You're playing games with him? The Avatar should be training." Monk Gyatso tells him that Aang had had enough training for one day. The elder monk attempts to get Aang to test him on some high level techniques, but Gyatso says no. This incident caused the monk to complain to Monk Pasang. Gyatso says that Aang should grow up as a normal boy. It is then decided that Aang be sent to the Eastern Air Temple to complete his training. This is overheard by Aang who decided to run away. This elder monk died along with the other Air Nomads when they were attacked by the Fire Nation.
