Yon Rha

''I'm afraid,I'm not taking prisoners today. ''- Yon Rha to Kya

Yon Rha is a malevolent but cowardly retired general of the Fire Army, who appears in the Season 3 episode "The Southern Raiders." of the Avatar the Last Airbender series.

Yon Rha is the firebender responsible for the murder of Katara's mother Kya. Zuko (in an attempt to please Katara) helps her to find her mother's killer. When they meet the commander he reveals that the leader of the Sea Ravens retired four years ago. They then head to a little village.There, Yon Rha goes to get his mother some fruit at the store and percieve a presence watching him. On his way back, he hurls a fire blast at Zuko and Katara telling them to reveal themselves and is confronted by the furious waterbender. He then reveals that he was sent to kill the last Waterbender at the South Pole and that Kya sacrificed herself in order to protect Katara. Katara then reveals that she was the actual Waterbender and bends the water droplets around her to form sharp icicles. However before landing the finishing blow, she stopped and realized that he was just a sad, pathetic old man. She then leaves him sobbing uncontrolably (though she never forgave him)
