- So, the resistance has kidnapped my son. Everything so clever, so tricky. Just like their King Bumi. The Governor of New Ozai was the Fire Nation authority in the city, appointed by Fire Lord Ozai himself. He is the father of Mai and Tom-Tom.

History
He was chosen by the Fire Lord to govern Omashu, which was renamed New Ozai after the Fire Nation took-over. He moved there with his wife, his daughter Mai, and his infant son Tom-Tom.

To resist the Governor's rule, the citizens of Omashu devised a plan involving the Purple Pentapus. The next morning, all the citizens showed up with marks on their skin from the pentapus, making them look diseased. The Governor ordered the citizens to be driven out of the city, thinking there was a plague. He later sent a Messenger Hawk bearing a message to the resistance. The Governor thought that the Earthbenders kidnapped his son (who went missing around this time) and used the disease as a cover. He offered to trade King Bumi, the former ruler of Omashu, for his son. Azula met with the Governor and felt that he had done poorly due to the chain of events that occurred during the previous day and renamed the city, "New Ozai." Later, Aang went to the Governor's house, to return his son.

Though the Governor cared greatly for his family, he was a weak ruler whose faulty assumptions often led to poor decisions. His concern for his family also clearly came before his allegiance to the Fire Lord, as was demonstrated by his spontaneous offer to trade one of the Fire Nation's most valuable and powerful prisoners for his missing son.

When the Day of Black Sun arrived, King Bumi liberated Omashu and destroyed the Fire Nation Palace in the city. What became of the Governor, his wife and his son is unknown, but according to Bumi "everyone else escaped" meaning the Governor and his family most likely fled Omashu.
