Captured agent

"earth"

- Azula and Long Feng are plotting a coup. They're going to overthrow the Earth King.

The Scared Agent was a Dai Li agent who was captured by Iroh during the coup d'état in Ba Sing Se. He was taken to Team Avatar's Home where he revealed Katara's location of imprisonment, which was down in the crystal catacombs of the old Ba Sing Se. An identifiable trait of his was that he had a medium-sized scar going from his right lower eye-socket towards the bottom of his right cheek.

History
When Azula was being true on her taking charge of command of the Dai Li by her "order" from Long Feng and stated the consequences of any disloyalty or dishonesty, he was seen looking slightly bewildered at this statement, as he probably never wanted to be there in the first place.

He was later captured by Iroh, who was trying to get information from the agent in hopes of learning where Princess Azula was holding Zuko captive. He dragged the agent to Aang's house in the Upper Ring and forced him to talk. The Agent, too scared to refuse, revealed that Azula intended on overthrowing the Earth King and that she was holding Zuko and Katara captive in the Crystal Catacombs of Old Ba Sing Se. He was then left at the house, trapped by Toph's Earthbending and the ropes binding his hands and feet.

It is unknown what became of the Scared Agent after Ba Sing Se fell.

Trivia

 * The way that he was restrained by Toph in this episode was very similar to the way that she restrained one of Azula's Dai Li agents: by removing his rock gloves and squishing him within the space of a steel support beam to make him unable to bend.
 * Of all the Dai Li agents observed hearing Azula's speech, he was the only one shown to be intimidated by her words.
