- “With Roku gone, and the great comet returning, the timing was perfect to change the world. I knew the next Avatar would be born an Air Nomad, so I wiped out the air temples. But somehow, the new Avatar eluded me. I wasted the remainder of my life searching in vain. I know he's hiding out there somewhere. The Fire Nation's greatest threat ... the last airbender.”
- ―Sozin
Sozin, also known as Fire Lord Sozin, is the overarching antagonist of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Despite having died years before, his actions caused almost all of the events of the series and many of its sequel The Legend of Korra.
He is the instigator of the Hundred-Year War and the Fire Lord before his son, Azulon. He is the grandfather of Iroh and Ozai, great-grandfather of Zuko, Azula, and Lu Ten and the great-great-grandfather of Zuko's daughter, Izumi.
