Brief History:

Itou Ba Lei was born in the fire nation, about 46 years ago. He grew up in a loving home with his younger brother and sister. He started attending a school at the age of 6, where he learned about the history of the fire nation. His fire bending training started around the age of 9. He struggled with it more than the rest of the fire benders in his class, only being able to create small bursts of flames at the time. The cup ran over once one of the more talented children decided to humiliate him in front of the entire class. Itou snapped in his face, his anger and irritation fueling this fire bending further, and the result was, that he had managed to humiliate that boy instead of him. Later that day, he was summoned by the principal of the school, and was given a warning. “Firebend and hurt anyone else in this school, and you’re expelled for life!” At the age of 13, his fire bending had improved greatly, now measuring up to the average of his age group, he spend his days practicing, alone. It was around this point, his siblings were killed in a robbery that went wrong, leaving Itou heart broken, and his family thorn apart.

At the age of 20, Itou joined the fire nation troops. He soon grew to like his job, and stayed in that job for many years to come. Three years before the war, he met his future wife, and two years later, the war broke out. His wife was pregnant with twin girls, and when she was 6 months on the way, she was brutally murdered in the war, a innocent and defenseless person. The war lasted for 10 years, during this time, Itou changed a lot. The war turned him into the man he is to this day, but not a single day goes by, without him thinking about his dead wife, and his unborn children, that never had a chance, to prove themselves, or experience any form of love.
