Roku

How Roku joined the Tourney
Roku was the Fire Nation-born Avatar immediately succeeding Avatar Kyoshi and preceding Avatar Aang. Roku's memory served as a guiding force for Aang throughout his quest to end the Hundred Year War.

Roku was a wise and merciful Avatar with good intentions, though he himself acknowledged that he was too indecisive during his life. Roku's long friendship with Fire Lord Sozin resulted in his reluctance to end his friend's life and thus his imperial ambitions. This ultimately led to Roku's death, preventing him from stopping a war which would last for one hundred years. Aang inherited Roku's burden of healing the war-torn world, and Roku firmly believed Aang was destined to amend his mistakes.

Two years after Team Avatar's victory in the Hundred Year War, a young Devil Forgemaster named Hector found the remains of Avatar Roku. He enchanted the words "Heed my words, O great powers of darkness! Release to me one of the tortured souls! Let me infuse him with my life-force and awaken him to the world of the living! Immaculate being... Appear before me NOW!" and resurrected the old Avatar. Roku was surprised to find the years had gone by, and Sozin was finally gone. Grateful, Roku had sought to teach the Devil Forgemaster his techniques.
