Ba Sing Se airship captain

This Earth Kingdom airship captain is the leader of a four-man group of airmen. En route to Ba Sing Se to deliver Korra and Asami to Earth Queen Hou-Ting, his ship crashed and he had to make his way out of the Si Wong Desert with the others on a makeshift sand-sailer. He has a hook for a right-hand, which he usually keeps hidden in the pockets of his uniform.

History
At Fort Bosco, the airship captain watched as his subordinates loaded Korra and Asami onto the airship. Upon Korra telling him about the threat the Red Lotus posed and that she had talked to one of their members in the Spirit World, he dismissed her as insane. As he sat in the cockpit while his co-pilot navigated the ship across the Si Wong Desert, Korra and Asami broke in. After the Avatar's attack on the co-pilot damaged the controls, the captain made a mayday call on the radio because of her escape and the ship's descent, but was thrown into the radio by a second attack on the co-pilot, disabling the communications as well. The ship crashed into a sand dune, leaving the group stranded.

The captain emerged from the ship onto its roof, telling everyone he had radioed Ba Sing Se for rescue and someone was on the way. He also warned Korra and Asami they were still criminals and thus, it was his and his crew's journey to deliver them to the Earth Queen. When Asami believed she saw a sand dune moving, he dismissed it as a typical mirage one would see in the desert. However, they soon realized there was something lurking beneath the sand. With his crew desiring to fix the ship, the captain relented and they went to work.

After Korra airbent the ship out of the sand dune, the group was able to restore it to working order. Just as they got the engines running again, however, a large, sharklike creature emerged from the sand, destroying the ship and its supplies. The captain and the group fled as the ship's debris fell around them. Seeing one of his subordinates, Arik, panic, he assured him an airship would be there in a few hours, only for Asami to tell him they may not have such time. When Korra asked how far they were from the desert's edge, the captain told her it was too far to walk. He also demanded the still-panicked Arik to get under control. Upon Asami suggesting a plan to get out, he sarcastically asked if she would put on metal wings and "flap real hard". Instead, she suggested making a makeshift sand-sailer of the ship's remaining material. The captain consented, telling his crew to gather all the metal they could find.

After completing the sailer, the group was forced to begin their escape immediately as the beast approached them rapidly. At one point, they were nearly swallowed whole by the creature, but Korra blasted it down with her firebending, enabling them to escape safely to the Misty Palms Oasis. Once there, the captain thanked Asami and complimented her on having a good head. After Korra apologized to him, he jokingly suggested her conflict with the queen was about his pay grade and shook her hand with his hook hand. He told her she had a tough job and wished her good luck, saluting her. Just before he and his crew left, Arik noticed a dragon and asked if they had been in the desert too long. He simply sighed and suggested they get a drink.
