Captured agent

"earth"

- Azula and Long Feng are plotting a coup. They're going to overthrow the Earth King.

The scared agent is a Dai Li agent who was captured by Iroh during the coup d'etat in Ba Sing Se. He was taken to the gang's house where he revealed where Katara was being held prisoner, which was down in the crystal catacombs of old Ba Sing Se. An identifiable trait of his is that he has a medium-sized scar going from his right lower eye-socket towards the bottom of his right cheek.

History
He first appears in this episode when Azula is being true on her taking charge of command of the Dai Li by her "order" from Long Feng. When Azula states the consequences of any disloyalty or dishonesty, he is seen looking slightly bewildered at this statement, as he probably never wanted to be there in the first place.

He is later captured by Iroh, who was trying to get information from the agent in hopes of learning where Princess Azula was holding Zuko captive. He dragged the agent to Aang's house in the Upper Ring and forced him to talk. The Agent, too scared to refuse, revealed that Azula intended on overthrowing the Earth King and that she was holding Zuko and Katara captive in the Crystal Catacombs of Old Ba Sing Se. He was then left at the house, trapped by Toph's Earthbending.

It is unknown what has become of the Scared Agent since Ba Sing Se fell.

Trivia

 * The way that he is restrained by Toph in this episode is very similar to the way that she restrains one of Azula's Dai Li agents (by removing his rock gloves and squishing him within the space of a steel support beam to make him unable to bend), in the "The Day of Black Sun, Part 2: The Eclipse".
