“ | In my life, I tried to be disciplined and show restraint, but it backfired when Fire Lord Sozin took advantage of my restraint and mercy. If I had been more decisive and acted sooner, I could have stopped Sozin and stopped the War before it started. | „ |
~ Roku to Aang |
Avatar Roku is the posthumous overarching protagonist of Avatar: The Last Airbender. He 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.
Personality and Traits
Although Roku is a wise person with good intentions, he acknowledged that he was responsible for the war, and with good reason: he was close friends with Fire Lord Sozin and was unwilling to kill him in order to put a stop to Sozin's imperialism before it got out of hand. Likewise, Roku was kind and patient with his successor when advising him, though also willing to be firm, and he and Aang seem to care for each other very much. This was elaborated upon in the comics when Aang tearfully cuts himself off from Roku after strongly disagreeing with Roku's advised course of action on the grounds that he thinks that Roku's views are stuck in the past and only holding him back. The emotional reunion after he reconnects with him had all the vibes of estranged family members reuniting.
