Earthbender captain

"earth"

- These dangerous hands must be crushed.

This Earthbender Captain is a vengeful man who wants the Fire Nation to pay for what they have done to the world. He fought against Iroh and the Fire Nation army during the 600-day siege of Ba Sing Se. He does not consider Iroh as anything but an Earth Kingdom enemy. He will do anything to protect his nation and especially the Earth Kingdom capital of Ba Sing Se.

History
During the Winter Solstice, he and his unit of Earthbending soldiers discovered Iroh bathing, and then they captured him. While he was captured, Iroh attempted to convince the Captain that he was nothing more than a harmless old man by acting weak. He pretended to fall asleep in his saddle, leaving behind his slipper as part of a trail for Zuko to follow. He made an escape attempt when he complained of his handcuffs being too loose. When one of the soldiers went to tighten them, Iroh heated them to a scalding temperatures, burning the soldier's hand.

Iroh then rolled off the Ostrich Horse and down a mountainside. The Earthbender Captain and his soldiers caught up to him however, and they recaptured him through the use of Earthbending. The Captain decided that it was too dangerous to transport him to Ba Sing Se as he was. He planned to crush Iroh's hands as a precaution. However, before he could do this, Iroh was saved by Zuko, and the two of them fought against the Captain and his soldiers. After the Earth Kingdom warriors were defeated, Zuko and Iroh left to continue their quest. The Earthbender Captain was never seen again.
