Pu-on Tim is an acclaimed Earth Kingdom playwriter. He is best known for his play based on the life of the Avatar "The Boy in the Iceberg", considered to be his seminal work.

Biography
Writing "the Boy in the Iceberg" almost drove Pu-on Tim insane. He would spend weeks at a time on the road, staying up for days, researching leads, and following the Avatar. He literally has hundreds of scrolls filled with notes about the Avatar. It's as if he's managed to talk to every person the Avatar came into contact with. Pu-on Tim often describes the experience of following the Avatar as a painful and blurry dream. But in the end, Pu-on Tim couldn't be happier with his unbiased view of the Avatar and his companions he calls "The Boy in the Iceberg" his "masterpiece". Sadly, other critics have been less kind about the play, calling it merely "watchable". But in its short time in the theater this play has truly made an impression. In fact some of the audience members like the play so much, they'll even dress up like their favorite characters it's not uncommon to see several "Prince Zukos" excitedly watching the play.

Trivia

 * Pu-on Tim's name consists of two parts: "Pu" (浦 pǔ), is a Chinese surname meaning "beach", and is one of the Hundred Family Surnames. On-Tin (安添, ān tiān), his given name, roughly reads as "increasing peace". The character 安 (ān) is also used in Aang's name.
 * Oddly, Pu-on Tim's name places his family name first in the traditional East Asian way (the way it is written on the poster): Toph's name, on the other hand, while written with the family name first, is always re-arranged to the western fashion when said aloud.
 * Pu-on Tim can be seen on the bottom-right corner of "The Boy in the Iceberg" poster.
