Gan Jin tribesman

The Gan Jin man was a member of the Gan Jin tribe who hoped to escape persecution from the Fire Nation. In 100 ASC, he hoped to cross the Great Divide, a large Earth Kingdom canyon, with his tribe to achieve this goal.

History
Shortly after Aang's meeting with Avatar Roku on the Winter Solstice, the Gan Jin man arrived at the Great Divide before the rest of his tribe, for whom he hoped to reserve a trip. However, his efforts appeared in vain when the Zhang tribe appeared, also hoping to receive a guide across the canyon, as the Canyon guide remarked that he "couldn't guide people who [weren't there]." Soon after, the Gan Jin tribe arrived and in light of a compromise proposed by Aang, the two tribes crossed together while the tribes' sick and elderly would fly across on Appa.

After encounters with Canyon crawlers, much bickering with the Zhangs, and a plan concocted by Aang, the man and his tribe at last escaped the canyon.

Aang proceeded to settle the difference of the two tribes with a fraudulent story regarding Wei Jin and Jin Wei, the patriarchs of the Zhang and Gan Jin tribes, respectively, the two tribes agreed to travel to the Earth Kingdon capital of Ba Sing Se as one tribe, joined by the canyon guide.

Physical appearance
Like most of the Gan Jin, this man sported a long, flowing, elegant robe with neatly combed hair, in part bunned in a top-knot. With a large beard and a somewhat big nose, his skin was light in color, following the pattern of varying skin tones among the Gan Jin.
