Afiko

Afiko was an Airbender from the Southern Air Temple, who betrayed his people and sold them out to The War's instigator, Fire Lord Sozin, in 0 ASC. He aided the soldiers in the horrific Air Nomad Genocide, and in 5 ASC, was killed by the ancient Fire Lord for "treason."

A Bitter Jealousy
Born to the Southern Air Temple, Afiko was seemingly normal growing up. But, Afiko grew jealous when his peers announced Aang's identity as the Avatar. Envious, he turned traitor and revealed the temple's location to the Fire Nation.

Traitor
They stormed the temple and slaughtered the other monks, but were too late to catch Aang, who had run away from home shortly before. Afiko was instrumental in engineering the genocide of his fellow Air Nomads, earning a place as Fire Lord Sozin's close adviser. He also seems to have aided Sozin in attacking the Earth Kingdom due to the fact that he is often shown blocking or dispersing Earthbending attacks and attacking Earthbenders. The traitorous monk died long before Aang's return, and the subsequent undermining of all Afiko's work. In the end, despite his loyalty and achievements towards the Fire Nation, history records indicate that Afiko met his demise in the War's fifth year, when Fire Lord Sozin had him executed as a traitor.
