The following is a list of minor secondary characters that have appeared in multiple seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

One of the members of the Southern Water Tribe who left two years earlier with Katara and Sokka's father. While the other members of the tribe have headed to the Earth Kingdom's capital, Ba Sing Se, Bato was left behind in an abbey because of injuries. He is somewhat of a paternal figure to Katara and Sokka in their own father's stead, and obviously cares about their well-being.

During their travels, Aang, Katara, and Sokka find Bato's ship on a beach in "Bato of the Water Tribe." Once they meet him, Katara and Sokka are elated to be around him, feeling almost at home again in his presence (and his tent, which is decorated in furnishings from the South Pole). Bato agrees to take Sokka ice dodging in his boat, since Sokka never had the chance to with his own father. He also bears news of their father, stating that he awaits instructions on how to relocate him and the other Water Tribe men, and offers to at least send word to them of his location as they accompany Aang. However, in the comfort of their reunion Katara and Sokka begin to lose sight of where they are truly needed, as Aang begins to feel betrayed and alone.

Bato makes another appearance in "The Guru" when Sokka walks into his father's tent: Bato is the one who gets Hakoda to look at his son. Also, Bato is seen filling the Tangle Mines, as well as making mention of Hakoda's dry sense of humor, and Sokka's similarity to his father.

Aang returned to Omashu to show his friends the improvised super slide. Due to a cabbage accident, Aang and his friends were brought before the king. The king looked at Aang intently, and later ordered his men to "throw the prisoners... a feast," during which he tricked Aang into revealing himself as an Airbender, the Avatar. After a comfortable night's stay in a "newly refurbished dungeon," Aang awoke to find that his friends were gone. When he confronted the king and demanded his friends back, the king challenged Aang to three tests, which he would have to pass in order to save Katara and Sokka from being covered (and thus killed) by Jennomite (or Creeping Crystal, which actually turned out to be rock candy).

After Aang passed the first two tests presented to him, the king instructed Aang to choose an opponent to duel as the final test. The king presented two different opponents for Aang to choose from, both formidable-looking in their own respects, and told Aang to "point to your opponent." Aang in his cleverness points to the frail-appearing king, to which he replied "wrong choice," and threw off his robes and flexed his seemingly frail muscles, revealing himself to be a powerful and muscular Earthbender. He then proceeded to fight Aang. While he kept Aang on his toes, Aang managed to eventually prove that he was worthy of victory, so Bumi stopped fighting and declared the match over. After Aang won the duel, Aang demanded that his friends be freed since he completed the three tests. As a final test, the king gave Aang an hour to guess his name. Which Aang succeeded in doing after remembering the traits of his old friend, Bumi. When Bumi was younger, he was Aang's best friend. He has a habit of thinking outside of the box e.g.: turning the town's delivery system into the world's largest super slide. This made Aang dub him a mad genius. One hundred years later Bumi has become the King of Omashu, the town where he lives (supposedly named for the world's first two Earthbenders, a couple whose names were Oma and Shu). Bumi told Aang that the purpose of the tests was to get Aang to think differently than he normally would, because strength and bending alone would not be enough to beat the fire lord; but also the mind of a mad genius. Bumi told Aang that when he faced the fire lord, "I hope you will think like a mad genius." After Bumi freed Aang's friends from the edible rock candy Jennomite, Aang and his friends then left Omashu to continue their journey.

Aang, Katara, and Sokka returned to Omashu in the appropriately-named episode, Return to Omashu, hoping that Bumi would act as Aang's Earthbending teacher. However, the group found that the city had been taken over by the Fire Nation. After helping Omashu's citizens and army to escape their imprisonment within the city, Aang attempted to free Bumi as well. After a chase down the city's large mail-delivery chutes, Aang and Bumi managed to escape a pursuing Azula. However, Bumi disappointed Aang by revealing that he could not leave Omashu just yet, as he was waiting for the proper time to strike against the Fire Nation from within, also revealing that he, despite the metal cage he was kept in, was still capable of bending. Bumi advised Aang to seek an instructor skilled in neutral jing, or doing nothing (as Bumi himself put it, someone who "waits, and listens.") Bumi has not been seen since.

King Bumi first appears in "The King of Omashu."

The name "Bumi" means "Earth" in Indonesian and Bahasa Melayu or Malaysia, which is in turn derived from the Hindi or Sanskrit "Bhumi", meaning "Earth". However, since the word bumi with that exact meaning does not exist in Chinese, the negotiation letter in Return to Omashu had his name transliterated as 布米 (bù mǐ) which translate as 'to spread rice.'

This unfortunate character is something of a recurring joke. He appears in many Earth Kingdom locales with his cart full of cabbages, which inevitably gets destroyed, usually by Aang when he's fleeing from a foe or some other situation, which causes him to yell the catchphrase "Agh! My cabbages!" His first appearance was in "The King of Omashu," when his cart was destroyed by a troop of overzealous Earthbending guards, only to be destroyed again by the Avatar and his companions when riding on the mail system and one final time in that episode by Bumi and Aang while riding the mail system (once again). He is seen in the episode "The Waterbending Scroll", when his cart was destroyed by Aang when he and the others were being chased by pirates. He is seen among the refugees fleeing to Ba Sing Se; while waiting to get on the ferry to the city, the ferry's security told him he couldn't bring his cabbages due to the risk of a cabbage slug infestation; and the cart was destroyed by a Platypus Bear. He was last seen in "The Tales of Ba Sing Se" when a Rabbiroo ate his cabbages, to which he responded by exasperatedly saying "My!....Oh forget it," and walking off. He can later be seen in the background crying. In the TCG, he is seen being attacked by Jojo the Kissing Bandit.

A running gag similar to the Cabbage Merchant, Foaming Mouth Guy is a resident of Kyoshi Island. Whenever Aang lands on the island, Foaming Mouth Guy goes into a screaming fit and starts foaming at the mouth, punctuated by fainting to the ground. When Katara and Sokka return to Kyoshi Island while Aang is being held prisoner on the mainlands, Foaming Mouth Guy does a repeat of the crazy performance--only to get up from the ground once he hears Aang is not with them, implying that the entire sequence is an act. He wipes the foam from his mouth and walks away with his jacket pulled over his head in embarrassment. Now a fan favorite, originally, the character was designated to simply faint in his scene, but an additional creative contribution from an animator named Ryu Gi Hyun took it further.

The closest person to a father-figure in Aang's days at the Southern Air Temple, the elder Monk Gyatso was his Airbending instructor, mentor, and guardian. Described by Aang as: "the greatest airbender in the world," as well as being gifted at using airbending as an "ancient cake-making technique"; Monk Gyatso was a caring and understanding teacher, and the only monk who was sympathetic to Aang's feelings of being overwhelmed in his duties as Avatar. When the burden weighed heavily on his favorite student, Gyatso worked to instill a sense of fun through jokes and games. He and Aang would practice a maneuver by propelling cakes at sour fellow monks and provide distracting breezes to jokingly cheat at their games of Pai Sho. He was also a friend of Guru Pathik, who would teach Aang how to control the Avatar State 100 years later.

Gyatso sincerely believed that Aang should be allowed to grow up as a normal boy. The other monks, fearing impending war with the Fire Nation, disagreed. Citing Gyatso's attachment to the boy as an interference, they decided to send Aang away to the Eastern Air Temple to focus on his training, not realizing that Aang had eavesdropped on their meeting. Aang fled, unknowing that Gyatso was determined to fight their decision.

When Aang returns to the temple after a century trapped in suspended animation, he is devastated to find fears of war realized, the temple is in ruins and the corpse of his beloved mentor is surrounded by the remains of Fire Nation soldiers. Apparently, Gyatso's prowess was not exaggerated given the number of soldiers he took down before expiring in combat.

'Gyatso' (the Tibetan word for "ocean") is the name given to each incarnation of the Dalai Lama when he takes the position.

Monk Gyatso first appears in "The Southern Air Temple."

Hakoda is the father of Katara and Sokka, and the leader of the Southern Water Tribe. Hakoda is a talented ship and igloo builder, and weapons maker. Much of Sokka's ingenuity and craftiness he learned from his father. Hakoda recognized Katara's Waterbending abilities when she was young and encouraged her to develop them, knowing that her skills would be key to helping to rebuild the Southern Water Tribe; he even traveled around the South Pole, looking for a Waterbender to train his daughter, but could not find one. Hakoda's decision to leave his children behind and fight in the war was a difficult choice. But it was his wisdom that allowed him to see the big picture: if his tribe didn't help win the war, it would have no future.[1]

It is shown that Sokka strives to be like his father, and shares many personalitiy traits with Hakoda, such as planning, leadership, bravery, inventive ingenuity, and sense of humor. Bato remarked upon this, saying, "You're definitely your father's son," after only Sokka laughed at Hakoda's attempt at wit in naming his bomb the 'stink and sink'.

Hakoda has only made three brief appearances in the series, the most important of which being at the beginning of "The Guru", in which Sokka saw him for the first time in two years. He is often spoken of, however, particularly by Sokka, who shows great respect and admiration for him. Sokka's memory of his last moments with Hakoda before he and the other Southern Water Tribe men left the South Pole was seen in the episode "Bato of the Water Tribe".

Hakoda was last seen smirking as he and the other warriors of the Southern Water Tribe were preparing to attack some Fire Nation ships entering a water route into Ba Sing Se in "The Guru". The outcome of the battle is unknown. He was also seen in "Appa's Lost Days" while on the way to Chameleon Bay to protect Ba Sing Se.

An Avatar born into the Earth Kingdom 400 years before Aang and 230 before Avatar Roku, Kyoshi was a giant of a woman, possessing the largest feet out of all the past lives of the Avatar. She was also the oldest Avatar ever, living to 230 years. Her traditional weapons were golden metal fans which, in addition to her manner of dress and style of fighting, have been adopted by the young warrior women of Kyoshi Island. Kyoshi lived on a peninsula that was once about to be conquered by a short-tempered (and short-statured) general known as Chin the Great (or Conqueror, according to Kyoshi). When he refused to listen to Kyoshi and her people, she confronted him and separated the peninsula by using a combination of all four elements to split from the mainland, forming Kyoshi Island to protect her people from subsequent threats. An indignant Chin was left standing on the edge of a cliff, which then crumbled beneath his feet where he drowned in the sea. For this act, the people of the Chin Village on the mainland founded Avatar Day to vilify Kyoshi and all the other Avatars for the death of their leader, until Avatar Day was rededicated in "Avatar Day" to commemorate Aang for saving the village from Fire Nation invaders who were planning on destroying their village.

Some time after her confrontation with Chin, Kyoshi was summoned to Ba Sing Se at the request of the current (forty-sixth) Earth King. A peasant revolt was raging, and he demanded that she stop it by whatever means necessary. Kyoshi quickly refused, knowing that it was not right for her to do so. Incensed by her defiance, the Earth King ordered that she be arrested, but a display of her power and a warning caused him to agree to a compromise. The Earth King agreed to give the peasants a voice in his ruling, while Kyoshi in turn agreed to train up a group to protect Ba Sing Se's cultural heritage from further disruption. She trained a platoon of elite Earthbenders who would later come to be known as the Dai Li, though their subsequent corruption weighed heavily on Kyoshi during her time in the Spirit World.

Avatar Kyoshi made several cameo appearances throughout Books 1 and 2, the first of which as a series of statues in "The Southern Air Temple" and "The Warriors of Kyoshi." She thereafter appears in a vision in "The Avatar State" as the most recent Earth Kingdom Avatar when Avatar Roku is explaining the nature of the Avatar State to Aang. Kyoshi makes her first speaking appearance in "Avatar Day" when she manifests herself through Aang (like Roku had in "Avatar Roku (Winter Solstice, Part 2)") to testify in a trial proving the Avatar's innocence (though ironically she confessed to killing Chin during her "testimony"). She later gave a good-humored apology to Aang when he met up with her during his trek through the Spirit World.

On the golden button on the right arm guard of the Kyoshi Warriors and on the fan that the statue of Avatar Kyoshi holds to her face is the word 京. The other fan, the one on her outstretch arm, is the word 士. In Japanese, 京士 is pronounced as 'kyoshi' and translate as 'capital samurai.' It can also mean 'Teacher' in Japanese. However, on the mural in Avatar Day, right after the familiar word Avatar (降世神通), appears to be the words 處女 (chǔ nǚ) which in Chinese means 'virgin.'

Longshot is a silent archer and member of the group of Earth Kingdom rebels called the Freedom Fighters. According to Jet, his town was burned down by the Fire Nation, but there is still mysteriousness about his personal history. In the episode "Lake Laogai" he was heard speaking for the first time after having only silent roles in the first several episodes he appeared in. The other freedom fighters look to him in times of need or when seeking advice, and although he usually does not speak his thoughts, they seem to understand him. He was last seen in the Dai Li's underground base submerged beneath Lake Laogai, alongside Smellerbee and an injured Jet, having urged Aang's group to follow after Appa, which is the only time he is heard speaking. The final frames illustrate Longshot notching an arrow. His current position is unknown.

A Prince of the Fire Nation and soldier in its war against the Earth Kingdom, Lu Ten was the son of General Iroh, grandson of Fire Lord Azulon, and great-grandson to Fire Lord Sozin. He was the nephew of Fire Lord Ozai and cousin to Zuko and Azula, Ozai's two children.

Iroh's only son, Lu Ten died in combat against the Earth Kingdom several years before the start of the series proper, during his father's 600-day siege of Ba Sing Se. When he learned of his son's death, Iroh was so heartbroken that he abandoned the siege of the city, claiming that he and his men were tired from the extensive time away from home. Within the Fire Nation, after Ozai learned of Lu Ten's death and Iroh's subsequent actions, Ozai petitioned Azulon to crown him heir to the throne, claiming that Lu Ten's death meant that the royal bloodline would end with Iroh, since he had no further heirs. Iroh himself did not challenge Ozai's claim, even though he was the elder brother, and did not attempt to secure the throne for himself.

As revealed in flashbacks during "Bitter Work", Lu Ten and Iroh had a strong relationship during Lu Ten's childhood, and they remained close during his adulthood. His death had a profound effect upon Iroh, whose personality shifted more towards a hedonistic enjoyment of life, rather than continuing to participate in the current war.

The picture on the altar that his father Iroh set up in "The Tales of Ba Sing Se" has his name as 路騰 ( Lù T'éng ) which translates as "road to gallop over."

Lu Ten was first mentioned in The Siege of the North when Iroh informs Zuko that after Lu Ten's death, Iroh began treating Zuko like his own son. A younger Lu Ten was then seen in Bitter Work and a picture of an older Lu Ten was displayed at Iroh's altar for him during "The Tales of Ba Sing Se".

Oyajii is the leader of the Kyoshi Island village, appointed to the position over twenty years ago. He first appears in "The Warriors of Kyoshi." When the Avatar and his friends first arrive on Kyoshi Island, he is initially averse to the idea of them coming, as Kyoshi has remained neutral in the war so far. However, he later stands beside Aang and his friends and helps get his people to safety when the Fire Nation attacks, and is seen thanking Aang for using the Unagi to extinguish the fires. A few months later, he helps Katara and Sokka somewhat in their quest to clear Aang's name during the episode "Avatar Day." He explains the legend around Kyoshi's weapons and clothing (and sternly tries to keep the siblings from touching them) and explains the meaning of the picture "Birth of Kyoshi." He also informs Sokka about Suki's departure from Kyoshi Island and the influence he had on her.

With only one 'i,' the word Oyaji is an informal Japanese word meaning 'dad.'

Master Pakku is the supreme Waterbending master and instructor of the North Pole's Northern Water Tribe. Dryly sarcastic, and very serious about his art, he gives no breaks to his students. Likewise stubbornly set in the customs of his culture, he only taught Waterbending to male tribe members.

When Pakku consented to teach Aang, but rejected Katara, she schemed to learn from Aang at night. Pakku quickly discovered them and barred Aang from further instruction until Katara apologized. Rather than submitting to Pakku's sour chauvinism, Katara challenged Pakku to a fight. Though he acknowledged her skill, Pakku still would not consent to teach her, and eventually defeated her.

During his fight with Katara, Pakku knocked her grandmother's necklace to the ground. Later, he recognized its pendant as the betrothal necklace he had carved sixty years before for "the love of [his] life," his fiancée Kanna. Kanna did not return Pakku's love, and fled to the Southern Water Tribe to escape their arranged marriage, eventually passing down her necklace to her granddaughter, Katara. In his heartbreak, Pakku never pursued another bride and dedicated himself to his waterbending.

Realizing that his stubborn adherence to custom had cost him the love of his life, Pakku consented to teach Aang and Katara. Katara rose to mastery faster than any of his students, and he tasked her with instructing the slower-learning Aang. Pakku recently played a critical role in defending the North Pole from a Fire Nation siege, and afterward decided to travel to the Southern Tribe to help them rebuild their nation.

Aang and his comrades accompanied Pakku at the beginning of his journey to the Southern Tribe, before leaving to travel to Omashu. When the groups split, Pakku gave Katara a vial of water from the Spirit Oasis in the northern city, and gave Aang a box containing scrolls of Waterbending techniques. As for Sokka, Pakku comically gave him only words of good luck.

Master Pakku first appears in "The Waterbending Master." He is also the silhouetted Waterbender displayed to represent his element in the opening credits of each episode.

Qin is a war minister of the Fire Nation who oversees engineering and construction of their mechanical and metallurgical weaponry. He extorts the Mechanist into building weapons in the "The Northern Air Temple" and, though he and his invasion forces were defeated by Aang, he manages to come across the prototype air balloon used against them and comments that "this defeat is the gateway to many victories." He appears in the second season in "The Drill," working under Princess Azula and overseeing the execution of the drill. Although he is quite proud of it and certain of its success, his pride falls short of his fear of Azula. After the drill is destroyed by Aang and his friends, Qin's fate is unknown.

Smellerbee is the only active female member in a band of rebels known as the Freedom Fighters. Despite her tomboyish appearance, she takes offense when someone mistakes her gender. She appears to understand both Jet and Longshot more than the other Freedom Fighters did. She dresses in light armor and is seen to be proficient in bladed weapons such as the sword and knife. In the picture, here, Smellerbee is holding a Nepalese Khukri. In Book 2: Earth, she travels with fellow Freedom Fighters Jet and Longshot to start a new life in Ba Sing Se. When Jet believes he spots Iroh using Firebending to heat up his tea, Smellerbee avidly protests Jet's choice to pursue Iroh and Zuko. Both she and Longshot witnessed Jet's ensuing arrest by the Dai Li. The two later found Jet while he was brainwashed and preventing Aang and his friends from finding Appa. It was Smellerbee who suggested that Jet focus on remembering how the Fire Nation had affected his life, allowing him to break free from the hypnosis. She then fought alongside Jet, Longshot, and Aang and his friends during the infiltration of Lake Laogai. Smellerbee was last seen in the Dai Li's underground base submerged beneath Lake Laogai, alongside Longshot and a severely injured Jet, having urged Aang's group to follow after Appa. Her current position is unknown.

Princess Yue is the sixteen-year-old daughter of Chief Arnook, ruler of the North Pole's Northern Water Tribe. Yue was born with a terrible sickness, and her parents feared she would die. Arnook prayed to the Moon Spirit, and placed her in the Tribe's spirit oasis. The Moon Spirit gifted her with part of its own life force, curing her and turning her hair white as a side-effect. Thus, her parents named her Yue, after the moon.

Upon arriving at the Northern Water Tribe, Sokka was smitten with her at first sight, and the two soon began to arrange meetings. An affection budded between the two, but unfortunately Yue was bound to an arranged marriage to Hahn, a shallow young warrior with more love for high status than for Yue. Sokka and Yue came to realize their love for each other, but Yue could not bear to continue their meetings because they conflicted so with her duty to her tribe. Both of their feelings persisted, and during Admiral Zhao's siege of the Northern Water Tribe, Sokka was ordered by Arnook to act as Yue's bodyguard.

Yue helps Aang to enter the Spirit World by leading him and Katara to the spirit oasis. Later, when Aang has been captured by Zuko, she accompanies Katara and Sokka in tracking the two of them down on Appa. Upon their return to the spirit oasis, they were confronted by Zhao, who fatally struck the Moon Spirit's corporeal form, leaving all Waterbenders powerless without the moon's influence. Yue once again acted to carry out her duty to her tribe, and sacrificed herself in order to give back the life the Moon Spirit had given her when she was a newborn. Her sacrifice came against Sokka's protests, but in the end the young warrior was unable to stop her. Yue died in Sokka's arms, and her spirit appeared before him shortly after, and the two shared a final kiss before she vanished completely.

Several times following her death, Yue's influence on Sokka returns. In "The Swamp," Sokka, under the place's magical influence, sees a vision of her. The vision of Yue angrily tells Sokka that he failed to protect her, perhaps a manifestation of his fear that she truly felt this way. In "The Desert", Sokka directly refers to the moon as Yue in the intoxicated state brought about by drinking cactus juice. Finally, when Sokka and Suki nearly kiss in "The Serpent's Pass", a waning gibbous moon is visible in the background, alluding to Yue's presence, and Sokka's memories of Yue's death prompt him to act overly protective of Suki.

In the online game, "Escape From the Spirit World", after the battle beneath Ba Sing Se, Aang meets Yue in the Spirit World. She informs him of the damage that has taken place to the Avatar Spirit and how to return to his body, further instructing him to seek out the past four Avatars while avoiding Koh.

Yue first appears in "The Waterbending Master."

Yuè (月) means "Moon" in Chinese.

The following characters are seen only in separate Avatar: The Last Airbender media, including its trading card and video game of the same name.

The following characters were revealed at the Flash Web site for Upper Deck Entertainment's Avatar: The Last Airbender Trading Card Game. On the back of the starter set container, the game advertises that the set depicts some characters which have yet to appear in the show.[1]

Afiko, an elder Airbender monk of the Southern Air Temple, grew jealous when his peers announced Aang's identity as the Avatar. Envious, he turned traitor and revealed the temple's location to the Fire Nation. They stormed the temple and slaughtered the other monks, but were too late to catch Aang, who had run away from home shortly before. Afiko was instrumental in engineering the genocide of his fellow Air Nomads, earning a place as Fire Lord Sozin's close adviser. He also seems to have aided Sozin in attacking the Earth Nation due to the fact that he is often shown blocking or dispersing Earthbending attacks and attacking Earthbenders. The traitorous monk died long before Aang's return, and the subsequent undermining of all Afiko's work. In the end, despite his loyalty and achievements towards the Fire Nation, history records indicate that Afiko met his demise in the War's fifth year, when Fire Lord Sozin had him executed as a traitor.

Jojo, the Kissing Bandit is the Earth Kingdom's own famous female Robin Hood. A gentlewoman thief and Earthbender (seen in Avatar Trading Cards), this crafty young Earthbender's trademark is the red-lipstick kiss she leaves on her male victims. Her fame and relatively benign modus operandi leaves Earth Kingdom authorities tolerant, while some even fantasize about being her victim. She has also stolen from the Fire Nation, as she is often shown blocking Firebending attacks and using Earthbending to attack Fire Nation soldiers. Jojo has recently developed a crush on fellow fugitive Aang, from seeing his wanted posters. Jojo the Kissing Bandit is also seen attacking the Cabbage Merchant and evading a water whip attack from Katara, whom she seems to have been stealing from.

Kinto the Waterbender, originally of the North Pole's Northern Water Tribe, is a world traveller and a chronic practical joker who plays tricks on his friends, sometimes to the point of alienation. Kinto is known to be a big showoff. Never settling down for long, his ambition is to see the whole world.

In the game, Kinto is considered a Dark character, and is known for using painful or cruel waterbending techniques, such as daggers of ice or manipulating the water in one's stomach. Many of his pictures show him as being an enemy to Aang and his gang such as one displaying Aang trapped in a ball of water, another showing Kinto trying to cause a tidal wave on top of the gang riding Appa and one with Kinto and Sokka battling (and Kinto apparently triumphing).

Malu, the Ghost Witch of the Mountain, arose as a figure of Earth Kingdom legend in the years following the Fire Nation's first strikes. An enigmatic beauty who supposedly controlled the spirits, and seemingly vanished and appeared at will, Malu was truly an Airbender, whose mother hid her in a mountain cave to escape the Fire Nation's storming of the Eastern Air Temple. Her parents were Airbender monks and some of the war's first casualties. For years, she lived a solitary existence in the forest, but ten years into the war, she began attacking Fire Nation soldiers. Some say she still makes her home in the mountain passes.

The following characters appear in the video game The Last Airbender for most gaming platforms.

Master Wei is a Northern Water Tribe Elder who asks Aang to look for the missing waterbender Hiryu.

Hiryū ( 飛龍 ), Japanese for 'flying dragon,' was a Sōryū-class aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy that took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor and was destroyed on June 5, 1942 by air attack in the Battle of Midway.

A Firebender found in the second level when Sokka and Aang rescue Katara from a prison controlled by the fire nation and go looking for someone called "The Maker". He is the boss of the level. He uses a staff with fire flaring on each end to fight. When he loses half his HP, he grows more angry and fights differently than the first time. He is defeated by the combined team of Aang, Katara, and Sokka.

A wise old man who is found at the end of the third level. He originally disguises himself as a giant bear/ram combination animal called Ancestral Bear and fights Aang and friends as the level's boss. After he is defeated by Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Haru, he reveals himself and tells them that they must go to Omashu to discover the source of the Machines.

The fourth boss of the game. He originally was a man working for King Bumi in Omashu. But when Aang and others try to escape after the Fire Nation invades Omashu, he traps Aang, Katara, Sokka and Haru in the field behind Bumi's castle. He says that he is part of a plan that will render benders useless. He is defeated by Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Haru.

An Earthbender Aang meets in the game's final level. Jedd's farm is suffering from a herd of Crawler creatures. After Aang defeats them all, Jedd offers his services to the Avatar by clearing his path to the Fortress where his friends have been taken.

Also known as "The Maker", she is the main antagonist of the game. She originally appeared as a prisoner of the Fire Nation in the room where Aang and friends fight Jailer. When he is defeated, she mysteriously escapes and leaves behind a map of the continents. She is seen again in the end of the fourth level. She reveals she is the one making the Machines wreaking havoc on the lands. She was creating the machines to end the war and bring peace. She released her prototype Dreadnought robot on Aang and friends and escapes after it is defeated. She isn't seen again until the final level in the Fortress. She traps Aang and friends when they try to catch her and are forced to fight her finished Dreadnought machine. After Aang and friends defeat it, she is cornered with the game's final boss, her robot Ultimatonation. She reveals that the robot is being run by a Waterbender ( the one missing from the North Pole), a Firebender, and an Earthbender (the one who vanished from the Earthbender camp). These benders were offered to join her in her plan or be killed. She says that all benders do is cause war because they are different instead of one big force. When Katara is struck down by Ultimatonation to protect Aang, she laughs and said that her robot would not go down so easily. She also says the machine has enough power to finish them all. But when Aang witnesses Katara being hurt, he goes into the Avatar State and destroys Ultimatonation completely. She is last seen shocked as her robot falls. After the gang leaves with the other benders, she isn't seen again. Her fate is unknown.

The following characters appear in Avatar Escape From the Spirit World. The characters initially appeared briefly in The Avatar State, but were later provided with individual focus and background by means of the game.

Avatar Kuruk was the last Avatar incarnate born out of the Northern Water Tribe. Kuruk was a gifted but cocky Avatar who enjoyed constantly searching for people to challenge his bending prowess, usually for no other reason than the sake of it. He also liked providing others with grand displays of his bending ability, especially in regards to women. Never having even the slightest thoughts of settling down, Kuruk went on with this up until the day he met the love of his life. At the New Moon Celebration, a meeting of the two sects of Water Tribes, he met a woman named Ummi from the Southern Water Tribe and they fell in love at first sight. Shortly after, Kuruk presented her with a customary betrothal necklace, which she accepted, and the two were to be married at the Spirit Oasis. On the night of their wedding, as they approached the altar, Ummi fell into the pond, seemingly pulled in by an unseen force. As it turns out, she had been taken by the spirit Koh to punish Kuruk for his past actions. Ever since that day, on the anniversary of their wedding, Kuruk has traveled to the Spirit World in hopes of saving Ummi, but has failed on every attempt. Now in the Spirit World, Avatar Kuruk still searches for his wife, with information on her present state imparted to him by a brief encounter with Aang enticing him even further.

Avatar Yangchen was the last Avatar incarnate born out of the Air Nomads before Aang. Yangchen was a very wise Avatar, during her brief meeting with Aang, she convinced Aang not to feel so guilty, seeing that previous Avatars also struggled and made mistakes. Yangchen also imparted with Aang the purpose behind why the Avatar is born human: the Avatar must be compassionate to all people, and the only way of doing so is living among them. If the Avatar was some all-powerful spirit living at the top of a mountain, he/she wouldn't have anything in common with ordinary people. She acknowledges that the Avatar must experience human life and emotions, such as sadness, anger, joy and happiness, the Avatar must learn how precious human life is so he/she will see why he/she must do anything to protect it, and that with every incarnation, the Avatar Spirit comes closer to fully comprehending what it truly means to be human. By the end of the meeting, Aang learns that the Avatar Spirit has been healed, although his ability to enter the Avatar State has been disrupted, so he'll now have to rely on his friends rather than his past lives. Avatar Yangchen bids him farewell, saying that his journey in the Spirit World, reconnecting with his past lives will be like a forgotten dream. When abruptly asked for name of the female Airbender Avatar at the 2006 Pacific Media Expo, Avatar co-creator Mike DiMartino was unable to answer, prompting Bryan Konietzko to (jokingly) dubbed her "Avatar Susan", indicating that they initially didn't plan on developing the previous Avatars aside from the two already introduced.
