I'm seriously hoping they build more on his character. Also, has anyone really found out his age? The wiki says he's in his 30's but some sources say he's in his 20's. Not that it will stop me from shipping him and Korra together, but I was just wondering what his real age is?
Also, I've heard he's crown prince of the FN, so I think he's actually in line to be the next FL (after his mom) but most children in royal families actually go into the military, it's a very normal tradition. It's possible also that Zuko, who he's close to, told him to go and use the military as a way to grow and see the world, much like Zuko himself did.
And, for the record, who else wonders if Iroh was the one to teach a young Korra firebending? He'd be the most accessible to the White Lotus, being a FN prince and all, and he's stated to be one of the greatest firebenders of his time. It's been flittered back and forth in some fanfictions and whatnot, but it is a pretty plausible theory when you think about it. What are your thoughts?
(yes I know this is an old thread, I don't care :D)
