Lao Beifong is a character in the Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise. He was the descendant of Lu Beifong, a wealthy figure and businessman native to the Earth Kingdom. He was the husband of Poppy Beifong and the father of Toph, the maternal grandfather of Suyin and Lin Beifong and the maternal great-grandfather of Baatar Jr, Opal, Huan, Wei and Wing. Caring deeply for his daughter and only wishing for her safety, he was extremely overprotective of her, and hid her existence from the rest of the world. She consequently ran away from home at Gaoling, resulting in a rift between Lao, Toph, and Poppy.
