Prison rig captain

"fire"

- Uh, I'm not sure what the difference is, but that's not really the point, is it, sir?

The prison rig captain was an authority figure under the command of the warden of a Fire Nation prison rig located off the coast of the Earth Kingdom.

History
One night in late 99 AG, the captain was patrolling the prison rig with a fellow guard looking for anything suspicious. Upon rounding a corner of the structure, he observed Appa departing the rig and drew the attention of the accompanying guard to the creature, albeit in disbelief of having seen a flying bison. The two men immediately reported their finding to the warden, though mistakingly used differing descriptions of the animal. The captain explained that what he saw was what he believed to be a "flying bison", which the other guard attempted to confirm following the warden's voiced doubt; however, employed the word "buffalo" instead. After the warden demanded to know whether the observed fauna was, in fact, a buffalo or a bison, the captain admitted his inability to distinguish the two and subsequently questioned the importance of that detail. Infuriated, the warden proceeded to throw the captain overboard, landing him in the sea beneath.
