Tough criminal

"Forget about controlling my anger. Let's riot!"

- Tough Criminal in The Boiling Rock, Part 2

The Tough Criminal is, like his name says, tough and a criminal. He's got the muscles, deep voice, twitch in his eye, and tattoos to prove it. This prisoner has been a resident of the boiling rock for many years. It was his uncontrollable anger that landed him in the joint in the first place, and to this day his anger gets him into fights on an almost weekly basis. But after smuggling in a few self-help scrolls, this tough-criminal is trying to learn to control his anger. Sadly, he has a long way to go.

History
Sokka, Zuko, Suki and Hakoda were trying to start a prison riot so that they could benifit from the commotion and escape the Boiling Rock. In order to start one, Hakoda pushed the first big, muscular person he saw, this being the Tough Crimanal. Hakoda expected him to loose his temper and get mad at everyone, but instead this guy stayed really calm and just asked Hakoda why he pushed him. Unable to make sense of his reaction, Hakoda asked him if he wasn't mad at him. The Tough Criminal replied that he had been working to control his anger. It wasn't until Chit Sang picked up another prisoner and called for a riot that the Tough Criminal participated in the event.

His ultimate fate after the war is unknown, though it is likely that he remained in prison.
