Avatar Aang is a male Air Nomad and the current Avatar. As the manifestation of the world in human form, he was the only person in the Avatar world able to use all four bending disciplines: Airbending, Waterbending, Earthbending and Firebending. He was also one of the few Avatars to learn Energybending.

Northern Water Tribe


Sometime after the Siege of the North, Aang was requested to meet the Tribe Elder, Master Wei. First, though, he was confronted by wolves, but easily defeated them without killing them. As he did this, he noticed and picked up a water skin. Once reaching the Elder, he was asked to go and investigate the disappearances of Waterbenders from the tribe. He ventured back to near where he was, going into an ice cave. After dodging ice and defeating more wolves, he could not find anything. As he returned to the tribe camp, he saw Zuko's ship docked in at the edge of the snow, and hastily ran back.

As he ran to the tribe, fighting off a few wolves, he saw, unclear, in the distance Katara being taken by Fire Nation soldiers. Once he finally reached the tribe camp, it was damaged, and Katara was gone. He ran to a training area and found Sokka, and the two ventured to Appa who was trying to defeat a giant Firebending machine. They climbed on Appa and headed to a small island which was where a villager had told them the ship had gone to.

The Village
After leaving the Water Tribe village, what was left of Team Avatar traveled to an Earth Kingdom village, referred to as the Port Village. At the village, Aang and Sokka discovered a new ability of invisibility for some seconds. This ability helped them sneak through some guards and enter the village. At the village, Aang and Sokka met the village elder. This sweet old lady told Aang and Sokka that she hadn't seen Katara but would ask around for information and clues. In the meanwhile, she told them that they could move around without revealing their identity by stealing Fire Nation army clothes. So Sokka and Aang went into a nearby Fire Nation barracks. There they found uniforms and then return to the village. Upon returning to the village, the elder asked them for help with a major issue. She told them that the village's food was mysteriously disappearing somewhere. Aang agreed to help and fought through several small groups of Hog monkeys to get to the mountains. There they discovered that the Fire Nation was stealing and storing the village food inside a cave located in the high mountains. They both informed the elder and she thanked them. She also told them to speak to the Dock Merchant because he might have had some information. Aang and Sokka found the Dock Merchant at the docks. He told them that he saw Zuko's ship being captured and taken to the village docks. Then the jailer imprisoned him and Katara in a prison in the mountains. With this information, Aang and Sokka headed to the prison.



Rescuing Katara
After Aang and Sokka arrived at the Fire Nation prison, they fought their way through several Firebenders, spearmen, soldiers, and Firebending captains. They then had to battle a Firebending captain at the bottom level of the prison, where Katara is being kept. When Katara is freed she then told Sokka and Aang about a machine maker named Lian who is being forced to make machines and is locked up in that prison. Then the team entered a large prison chamber and found the Jailer meditating at the middle. Lian is surprised to see an Airbender and watches the battle. The Jailer shows great proficiency in Firebending but ultimately the team still managed to beat him. They then find that Lian has escaped and left a map showing direction from the Northern Water Tribe, to the village, to another Earth village, and then the city of Omashu. They then head out to an Earth village on Appa.

Heading to Omashu
Once there, Team Avatar aided Tyro, Haru, and the other Earthbenders who were attacked by the machines. Tyro then told them that one of their own members, Yuan, was also kidnapped. Haru then joined the team to help find his friend. Aang communicated with the Forest Spirit protecting the land in which he advised them to go to Omashu.

Their journey took them to Omashu where King Bumi gave them directions to a secret hidden island. They managed to leave the city relatively unscathed when the Fire Nation invaded. Zuko then appeared, but failed to catch up, and was taken prisoner by a machine.

The Island and Lian
When they reached the island, the gang found the Maker, Lian, creating more machines. She feared that Aang would not be able to master all four elements before Sozin's Comet arrived. Aang refused her help, seeing as how the machines were disrupting villages. Lian then voiced her contempt for him as she sent a machine to fight them. While the gang was distracted, Lian fled to a nearby Air Temple, attempting to destroy the Avatar statues.

The Air Temple and Captured Friends
Aang visited the temple on his own, leaving Katara, Sokka, and Haru behind. Aang managed to stop Lian by defeating all the machines in the temple. However, after hearing a noise, Katara, Sokka, and Haru began to investigate the source. While doing so, they got captured by another machine. The machine then fled.

Aang chased the trail the machine had left and eventually reached a fortress. In side the fortress, Aang found Katara, Sokka, and Haru trapped. Aang rescued them. While searching the fortress for Lian, the gang briefly encountered Zuko who is held captive there. Despite Aang's efforts to help him, Zuko attacked the group, and was swept away in a waterfall.

Final Fights
The four entered the fortress, where they found Lian, having finished a machine being manned by the missing Waterbender Hiryu, Haru's friend Yuan and a nameless Firebender. In the deepest level of the fortress, Aang faced Lian to stop her creations. Lian then voiced her contempt for benders in general saying "thinkers should be in charge, not magicians". Believing that division of the elements is the real reason behind the war, her machines would be used to "even the playing field". Sokka, a non-bender, voiced his disagreement to her opinion.

Lian then called out to the missing benders, including Yuan, who revealed themselves apparently willing to aid her by powering the Ultimation a war machine capable of controlling fire, earth, water, sound and air.

Team Avatar's united attacks managed to put down the machine. As Aang got distracted Ultimation tried to attack him from behind. Katara got in the way to protect him but gets hit by the Ultimation and is knocked unconscious. Enraged, Aang went into the Avatar State and easily destroyed the machine. It toppled over Lian, presumably killing her.

Haru and Yuan reconcile, and the team left the place behind on Appa. Haru asked if Sokka never liked benders as he said with Lian, in which the latter commented that he finds them alright. Katara and Aang then began to tease him, much to his aggravation.

Fong's Base
As soon as Aang entered the base, General Fong asked Aang to enter the Avatar State to which Aang declined. Once Aang said he would think about it, the trio helped around the fortress. Aang was convinced by Katara to decline the General's offer. When Aang told the General this, he commanded his soldiers to attack. After defeating the soldiers, Sokka knocked out the General with his boomerang. Then the group returned to Appa and began to fly towards Omashu.

Omashu
Upon reaching Omashu, the gang saw that it has been captured by the Fire Nation. Despite the objection of Katara and Sokka, Aang decided to go in and rescue Bumi. Aang, along with Sokka, entered Omashu via a secret path in the sewer, a path that left Sokka clearly displeased. Once they reached the surface, they found a man that hears "the voices"; Fire Nation Soldiers were speaking and their voices were emanating from a nearby pipe. Suddenly, the group was Earthbent into a base within the sewer. There they found a resistance group and they learned that Bumi surrendered the city as soon as the Fire Nation troops arrived. The resistance leader said that fighting is the only path to freedom. Aang suggested that a better alternative would be to leave Omashu and come back to fight another day. Sokka came up with the idea to use "pentapox" to trick the governor into letting the citizens leave. Aang and Sokka stole Fire Nation supplies from the surface and found pentapi in the sewer. Then, Katara came back from feeding Appa. Aang and Katara then went to the Royal Palace where the Governor was waiting for them. Aang and Katara eventually defeated him and Aang found Bumi locked in a cage. Before Aang can free Bumi, the latter told him that there is a third type of jing called neutral jing that is neither attacking or evading but doing nothing and waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Aang understood and realized that this was the reason Bumi surrendered. Bumi also told him its the reason that he can't leave now. Aang sadly realized that he has to find another person to teach him Earthbending. Bumi told Aang that his master will be someone who has mastered neutral jing, who waits and listens before striking. Aang bid a goodbye to Bumi and the group left Omashu on Appa.

The Swamp
After the group got split into pairs due to a tornado hitting Appa, Aang, along with Sokka, found that Fire Nation waste was pollution the swamp. They cleaned it up and then pressed forward. Aang and Sokka found Katara in a nearby village. They were informed by a villager that a group of men from the village were trying to hunt Appa for dinner. Aang and Katara went to the location where he was last seen. They saw Appa fly into vines when a swamp monster appeared. They fought and defeated the monster who turned out to be a villager. The villager educated Aang about the spirituality of the swamp and Aang then saw a vision about his future Earthbending master, as well as the drill headed for Ba Sing Se.

Meeting Toph
After arriving in Gaoling, Sokka left in search of food while Aang and Katara headed to Master Yu's Earthbending Academy. Along the way the pair is attacked by bounty hunters who create multiple roadblocks. The duo fought all the bounty hunters and reached the Earthbending Academy. After entering Yu's Academy, the master challenged Aang to a fight. Aang won the fight, but Yu ended up cheating. Aang saw a poster for an Earthbending Tournament called Earth Rumble VI. Aang and Katara then headed to Earth Rumble VI. Along the way, they picked up Sokka.

When they reached Earth Rumble VI, Xin Fu, the host, informed the audience that some of the contenders had withdrawn from the competition. He asked the audience if anyone would wish participate. Aang volunteers himself and Sokka. Aang and Sokka battled the contestants and eventually defeated The champion of Earth Rumble VI, the Blind Bandit. Aang believed that the Blind Bandit was meant to be his Earthbending master. However, before he could talk to her, the Bandit had already left. Aang asked Xin Fu about the Blind Bandit. After discovering where she lived, the pair headed toward the Bei Fong estate. Along the way, however, they were ambushed by the bounty hunters from earlier, and were taken captive. After breaking out and saving a captive professor, the pair sneaked in to the Bei Fong estate. While Aang and Sokka were talking to the Blind Bandit, who's name is Toph Bei Fong, Aang was captured by Xin Fu. Sokka and Toph headed for the Earth Rumble VI stadium to get Aang back. After Sokka and Toph defeated Xin Fu and freed Aang, Toph agreed to teach the latter Earthbending. The team then went to the Si Wong Desert, for they had promised the professor from earlier to deliver some important blueprints.

Training with Toph
While in the Si Wong Desert, Toph started teaching Aang Earthbending. After awhile, Aang made a comment that offended Toph and the two spar. After sparring, the a pair fought off a group of Sandbenders who where trying to take Appa. After the fight, Professor Zei told the group of a library. When they located the library, everyone except Toph entered and scoured through the manuscripts. After breaking Wan Shi Tong's trust, the Knowledge Spirit started to sink the library. The group managed to escape, but Aang then discovered that Appa had been stolen. Toph, who was the only one with Appa, informed Aang that Appa was taken by the group of Sandbenders from before.

Ba Sing Se
Team Avatar decided to go to Ba Sing Se after Aang's training. When arriving, however, they found a giant drill trying to break down the walls. Everyone entered the drill where they came up with a plan in which Aang and Katara broke down the pillars. After they did so, the two went to the top to fight Azula. When they reached the top of the drill, Azula showed up and Aang and Katara begin fighting her. After a while, Azula says that Aang's skills have improved since she last saw him, then asks for Zuko's opinion. Aang and Katara then have to battle both of them. When Zuko threatened to burn Katara and suffocate her in a ring of fire, Aang went into the Avatar State and knocked Zuko unconscious. Then after Azula had been weakened by Aang and Katara, she shot lightning at Katara, knocking her down. Aang went into the Avatar State again and knocked Azula out before she could hurt Katara. With Katara's help, Aang and escaped with Sokka and Toph on Appa. In the Earth King's palace later on, the Team explained the invasion plan to the Earth King. Aang then boasted about how he's mastered Waterbending and Earthbending and that everything will be just fine. Katara and Toph then bended earth and water around Aang, binding his feet and arms and making him look like a rooster. The group then laughed at his embarrassment.

The Awakening
Aang woke up from his coma after his battle with Azula and Zuko to find Katara standing over him. She expressed how concerned she and everyone else was for him and how glad she was to see that he was okay. Suddenly, the horn of a Fire Nation ship sounded and Katara said that they have to get up on deck. Aang and Katara then made their way to the deck to fight the Fire Nation soldiers that had boarded their ship. Katara used her Waterbending to douse the flaming projectiles fired from the enemy ship and Aang used Earthbending to launch them back at the ship. Aang and Katara eventually destroyed the ship. Sokka tells Aang the invasion plan.

The Arms Factory
Team Avatar entered a small Fire Nation village located on a heavy-polluted river. When arriving at the poor and small town, Katara and Aang spoke to Dock. They asked him what the cause of the village's poverty and polluted river was. Dock told them that the cause of the poverty and pollution is the Fire Nation military's arms factory. When Katara and Aang heard about the Arms Factory, they decided to go "take a visit" to the factory. They both used their Waterbending skills to build an ice bridge across the river and into the mountains. On the path to the factory, they encountered a few Fire Nation soldiers and other tasks. Once both of them got to the entrance, Aang used his Airbending skills to fight some group of factory guards. They entered the factory, and used Waterbending to break some pipes, crates, etc, and freeze pipes with the water contained in crates. By the time they both exited the factory, the factory was almost completely sabotaged due to their bending. Aang and Katara headed back to the village.

Pier Fight
As Aang and Katara walked back to the village from the factory, they notice a formation of military jet skis circling the village. They noticed the angered General Mung prepared to destroy the defenseless village. The jet skis then went around the village's pier. Aang rushed to the pier with Katara. They got ready to battle and defend the defenseless village. General Mung noticed them and got even more furious. They began to battle with the soldiers on the jet skis. After the battle continued for a while, General Mung jumped off his jet ski and onto the pier. There, Katara and Aang fought against Mung and several of his soldiers closely. Mung Firebent and shot a blast. However, Aang cleverly used Waterbending to freeze Mung in a block of ice and defeat the other soldiers. After the fight, the villagers thanked him and Katara. However, Aang asked one request from Dock. It was that General Mung was captured and kept someone remote and safe until after the invasion. Dock agreed and thanked the Avatar and his friends.

Fire Lord In Hiding
Aang and Toph traveled to the Fire Lord's secret bunker to find Ozai. However. when they entered the Fire Lord's room they find not Ozai but Azula. Azula then revealed the presence of two Dai Li agents she had brought from Ba Sing Se. Aang and Toph began an exhaustive fight against the Dai Li. Toph tried to warn Aang that Azula was just wasting their time but Aang insisted they had to get to Azula to find Ozai. They eventually defeated the Dai Li agents and approached Azula who readies a lightning attack. Before she can attack however, Zuko showed up and blasted Azula from behind, knocking her out. Zuko then told Aang that Ozai was not there and that he would help them escape, but they had to move quickly.

Into the Inferno


As the comet arrived, Aang appeared at Wulong Forest, waiting for Ozai to arrive. When Ozai did arrive, Aang Firebent at the former's airship. Ozai jumped onto the rock column that Aang was on. Ozai Firebent a fire blast straight at Aang, but Katara appeared and blocked Aang from the blast. Katara helped Aang defeat Ozai. Finally, when Ozai was knocked down, Aang, using Energybending, took Ozai's Firebending away. Zuko then showed up and told his father that was time to pay for what he had done. Ozai was locked up in jail and seemed to be going insane, saying that he was the Phoenix King and that he would destroy them all. Then a prisoner asked Ozai if he was going to eat his food. Outside of the Fire Nation Royal Palace, Katara asked the newly crowned Fire Lord Zuko what his plans were as Fire Lord. Zuko stated that he and Mai were going to work together to rebuild the relationships with the other nations. Zuko then asked Aang what his plans were. Aang replied that he wasn't sure and looked at Katara, who blushed in return, obviously sensing what he meant. The Avatar then said that things were definitely looking up.
