Pao

History
Pao is a tea shop owner in the lower ring, who isn’t very talented at making tea. Pao is a kind and courteous man who is protective of his business, and appreciates his employees.

When he hires Iroh and Zuko, his business begins to prosper because of Iroh’s remarkable talent for brewing tea. Everything seems to be going good until Quon comes along. Quon is a high class citizen who heard about Iroh's tea making. When he comes to offer Iroh his own tea shop in the upper ring, Pao tries everything he can to keep Iroh. Unfortunately, Iroh takes the offer by Quon.
