Chan (Fire Nation admiral)


 * ''This article is about the Fire Nation admiral. For the Ember Island teenager, see Chan.

Admiral Chan was the admiral of the Fire Navy's Eastern Fleet. He was well known for being a lousy communicator and was first mentioned for that reason.

Admiral Chan was the father of Chan and had a vacation home on Ember Island. He was mentioned again when his son Chan said "My dad's an admiral."

History
When Chief Hakoda was disguised as a Fire Nation soldier, a Fire Navy Officer told him that Chan should have informed him that Hakoda's vessel (secretly carrying the Avatar) was sending supplies back home to the Fire Nation. The officer later found out that Chan had been on leave for two months on Ember Island, and therefore had no knowledge of the vessel's true intent. The officer tried to sink Hakoda's vessel as a result, but failed.

The Western Fleet was commanded by Admiral Liang.
