Red Lotus

The Order of the Red Lotus is faction founded by Xai Bau after the Hundred Year War, who broke off from the White Lotus after they came out of secrecy and openly served the Avatar as bodyguards and trainers. They believe in true freedom and the destruction of governments. When news that Korra was the new Avatar spread, Unalaq planned to kidnap her to release Vaatu, presumably to create disorder. He sent Zaheer and his band out to abduct her, but they were stopped and imprisoned by Sokka, Zuko, Tenzin and others. Unalaq covered his involvement with the abduction and helped to imprison them, going on to follow his own ambitions by merging with Vaatu and become the Dark Avatar, which was never part of the original plan.

13 years later, after Harmonic Convergence, Zaheer discovers that he is an airbender, and his hope in achieving his goals is restored. He escapes prison and frees his friends, and planned to kidnap Korra once again.
