Old wanderer

The old wanderer is an old man who lives at Senlin near the scorched forest. He has total faith in the Avatar and spends most of his days wandering the lands around his village. He also seems to be an important elder in his community.

History
He lived in fear along with the rest of the village for almost 4 days after Fire Nation soldiers burnt down two thirds of their forest which was, unknowingly gaurded by a Spirit, Hei Bai, The Spirit responded by unleashing a frightening display of his powers by attacking their village at night fall and capturing a villager to who was taken, along with Hei Baito The Spirit World.

Eventually, the avatar and his friends saved the village, so the old wanderer gave them supplies.
