Lieutenant

"neutral"

- You benders need to understand... there's no place in the world for you anymore.

The Lieutenant is Amon's second-in-command. He is an intense, disciplined fighter who augments his considerable skills with two electrified kali sticks powered by a generator on his back. No metalbender cop can withstand his attacks.

History
When Korra officially introduced herself as Republic City's new Avatar, the Lieutenant heard the speech broadcast over the radio and promptly asked Amon how he wanted to handle Korra's arrival.

At a large Equalists assembly, the Lieutenant stood by Amon's side when the latter made a public appearance. After Korra and Mako disrupted the meeting and freed Bolin, the Lieutenant chased them. As Amon's second in command caught the brothers, they were descending a ladder which he electrified, thus electrocuting them. The Lieutenant effortlessly held the two bending brothers at bay with his weapons and eventually incapacitated them with electrically charged attacks. As he was about to finish them off, he was knocked against a wall by a surprise earthbending attack waged by Korra. As the Avatar helped the brothers escape on Naga, the Lieutenant urged other Equalists to chase after them, but they were halted at Amon's command.

After Amon broadcasted a radio message to the United Republic Council to shut down the Pro-bending Arena, the Lieutenant was the one that broke the news to Amon that the council had defied his threat. However, Amon did not mind and simply stated that "everything was going according to plan".



The Lieutenant joined Amon and the other Equalists in the surprise Attack on the Pro-bending Arena following the championship match of the Pro-bending Tournament. He used his kali sticks to electrocute the Fire Ferrets, who were still in the water after their knockout defeat in round three. While Amon was giving his speech, the Lieutenant dragged all the unconscious Fire Ferrets out of the water and bound them to one of the playing field's support beams. As Amon finished his speech and declared the start of the equality revolution to all, the Equalist airship lowered metal cables down into the arena to hoist the Equalists out of the arena. The Lieutenant got onto one of these cables alongside another Equalist. However, as they ascended, Korra, with the help of Lin Beifong launched a counter attack and knocked the Lieutenant and the other Equalist off the metal cable and onto the arena's roof.



When Lin arrived on the roof as well, she attempted to make her way to the airship, but was thwarted by the Lieutenant, who knocked her out with his electrified kali sticks. However, as he moved in to finish her off, he was blasted aside by one of Korra's fire blasts. The two engaged in a battle of electrified kali sticks against firebending, which eventually ended in favor of the Avatar, as the Lieutenant took an elbow to the face and was knocked off the roof.

A few days later, the Lieutenant was present at Hiroshi Sato's secret factory to test out their new weapons. He watched as Avatar Korra, Tenzin, Lin Beifong, and some police officers battled the tanks and were eventually defeated by them. When Mako and Bolin were caught trying to evacuate Korra, Lin, and Tenzin, the Lieutenant readied for battle to keep them there. However, before fighting broke out, Asami halted them, demanding an explanation. Hiroshi wanted Asami to join them, but she turned him down, and subsequently electrocuted her father and the Lieutenant, allowing her friends to escape.

Abilities
Despite not being able to bend, his agility and skill with his electrified kali sticks make him a formidable opponent, capable of knocking out two skilled benders without much effort.
