Pathik

Voice Actor: Brian George

History
When met by Appa in "Appa's Lost Days", Guru Pathik understood that he was not the person Appa expected, and he simply lies back, looking at Appa ever so often, and receiving a growl in return. Eventually, night settles in, and Appa falls asleep. The Guru reads Appa's Spiritual energy, remarking on how Appa is so full of love and trust, but at the same time fear is moving into where trust should be. He also tells of how he had a vision of Aang and Appa years ago, and decided to come to the Eastern Air Temple and wait for the two. He then leaves Appa to rest, saying how Appa must let the clouds in his mind part and be at peace.

Come morning, Appa follows a trail of fruit made by the Guru which eventually leads Appa to find the Guru meditating with a group of animals surrounding him. Appa decides to leave the man alone, and after flying around a bit, he comes to rest next to the guru at the top of the Temple. The Guru gives Appa a note, which he ties to his horn, and then proceeds to tell Appa about how much his energy and Aang's is intertwined. As he tells Appa this, he puts his hand to Appa's forehead, and tells Appa where to find Aang. Appa flies off, heading off to Ba Sing Se.

In "The Guru," Guru Pathik reveals that he and Monk Gyatso were good friends. He also tries to help Aang unlock his chakras, which will allow him to enter and control the Avatar State at will. He succeeds in unlocking 6 of the 7, when Aang realizes Katara is in danger. Although Pathik warns him that leaving will fully block his chakras and completely prohibit the Avatar State, Aang flies to Ba Sing Se.
