- “If your father really wanted you home, he would have let you return by now, Avatar or no Avatar. But in his eyes you are a failure and a disgrace to the Fire Nation.”
- ―Ozai
Admiral Zhao (formerly known as Commander Zhao), often known simply as Zhao, was a high-ranking officer in the Fire Nation Navy and the main antagonist of Book One: Water in the Nickelodeon fantasy series Avatar: The Last Airbender and a minor antagonist in Book Two: Spirits in the sequel series The Legend of Korra. He was the leader of the Fire Nation Navy for a brief period in early 100 AG.
He took it upon himself to capture Avatar Aang, thus becoming a rival of Prince Zuko. Leading up to his siege of the Northern Water Tribe, he murdered Tui, the Moon Spirit at the Spirit Oasis. This resulted in his downfall by La, a vengeful Ocean Spirit, who subsequently condemned Zhao to spend eternity in the Fog of Lost Souls in the Spirit World.
