The merchant worked in a small Earth Kingdom village.

History
When Team Avatar stopped in an Earth Kingdom village to get some supplies, the merchant showed Aang an Air Nomad necklace. Aang eagerly asked where he had found the relic, but the merchant replied that the necklace was not ancient, and that a man whose whereabouts were subsequently revealed, had traded it for medicinal supplies "two days ago". Aang soon left Katara and Sokka in order to investigate and found many Air Nomad relics in a cave and a yellow-cloaked man sitting inside. The man turned toward Aang and was revealed to be the merchant. Aang was then ambushed and captured by Fire Nation soldiers. Zhao revealed himself as the leader and gloated about Aang's capture. As payment for luring Aang to his trap, Zhao allowed the merchant to take all the relics he could carry. Using the relics and their abilities, Aang managed to free himself and knock down his pursuers, including the merchant.
