Old Sweepy

"earth"

- Shuffle on, I get you. No more need for Old Sweepy.

Old Sweepy may have seemed like a lovable, overly talkative janitor, but he was actually a Dai Li undercover agent, who kept an eye on the Lower Ring of Ba Sing Se and spread misinformation wherever Long Feng desired. He used to work in the Upper Ring with the top officers of the Cultural Authority, but he botched an assignment, causing Long Feng to banish him into deep cover as a menial laborer.

History
When Aang, Sokka, Katara and Toph were looking all over Ba Sing Se for a sign of Appa, they ran into Jet who promised them he could take them to Appa. Although reluctant at first, they followed him to an abandoned warehouse where they found a clump of Appa's white fur. When Aang sadly stated that they missed him, Old Sweepy told them that they "just took that thing yesterday". He informed them that Appa had just been shipped to Whale Tail Island, although this was only to lead them astray, in effort to draw them out of Ba Sing Se. He hoped that helping to get the Avatar out of Ba Sing Se will put him back into Long Feng's good graces.

His ultimate fate after the War and the Dai Li's banishment is unknown.
