Old Fire Nation civilian

"fire"

- Oh! Please. . . let me go, have mercy.

This old civilian was attacked by Jet and his Freedom Fighters while he was traveling through the woods.

History
After running into Jet and his Freedom Fighters, Sokka joined them on a stakeout mission in the forest. The Water Tribe warrior alerted the Freedom Fighters of the approach of a possible enemy but wanted to call off the attack after he noticed that it was just a harmless old man. Leaping from the tree, however, Jet proceeded to land in front of the civilian and knock his cane away. When the elderly man attempted to escape, he crashed into Pipsqueak and fell down. The leader of the Freedom Fighters interrogated him and asked him if he liked to destroy towns and families. Just as Jet was about to kick the suffering civilian in the head, Sokka intervened. After the Freedom Fighters had ransacked the man and stolen all of his possessions, they left him on the path in the middle of a forest. Back at the Freedom Fighters' hideout, Sokka confronted Jet about his actions, and Jet gestured to a poisoned knife, claiming the old civilian was an assassin sent to eliminate him.

Jet then proceeded with his plan to eradicate all the Fire Nation soldiers by flooding the nearby village of Gaipan. After eluding Pipsqueak and Smellerbee, Sokka tried to warn the villagers about the upcoming disaster, but no one believed him; the soldiers even thought he was a spy. Fortunately, the elderly civilian vouched for Sokka and urged the others to trust him. Together, they were able to evacuate everyone just in time.

His ultimate fate after the flood and the War is unknown.
