Dai Li agents wear gloves and shoes, both made out of earthen materials, in order to earthbend on the go. Their shoes also give them the ability to slide along the ground, increasing their speed.

5. #5Yun

   Keys: Yun, The false Avatar

   Yun was the friend of Kyoshi and Rangi and the earthbending pupil of Jianzhu. Talented, charismatic, and handsome, he was misidentified as the new Earth Avatar. Following the revelation of Kyoshi's identity as the true Avatar, Yun was betrayed by Jianzhu, who felt the boy's usefulness had been exhausted and allowed Father Glowworm to carry him off in the mountains. Broken and enraged by the fact that he was not the true Avatar, Yun started a vengeful quest to kill all the bending masters and politicians who had lied to him. Determined to put an end to Yun's destruction, Kyoshi confronted him with her companions in a great battle that destroyed the Avatar mansion and injured many of Kyoshi's friends. Although Kyoshi managed to kill Yun, she was heartbroken that Yun had been corrupted by vengeance. Yun was a young man with jade-green eyes, brown hair, and a handsome face with sharp edges. He had an easy smile and warm eyes that twinkled with mischief. Kyoshi described him to have had a solid physique. During his fight with Tagaka, he accidentally tattooed one of his hands gray after using an inkstone as glove. Later, having returned from the Spirit World, his skin had a healthy glow, and he had neat stubble lining his jaw, though he was surrounded by an aura of inhumanity. Yun was generally a fun-loving playful boy who liked to tease his friends Kyoshi and Rangi. Kyoshi considered him to have an easygoing nature, a good sense of humor, and an inability to hold a grudge or wallow in sadness for long. She also considered him a slob. Yun had a habit of acting flirtatious toward girls. He was a great strategist and a diplomat. Despite this, Yun was insecure about his position as the Avatar and grew increasingly frustrated over his inability to bend anything other than earth. After he Yun learned he wasn't the Avatar, he got corrupted by a passion for vengeance. He believed the world itself had wronged him and needed to be punished instead of guided by him. Yun was an extraordinarily skilled earthbender and possessing a great amount of raw strength as well as a proficiency for finesse. He developed a new technique of writing with stones and pebbles to communicate from long distances. Yun was also capable of other extremely rare earthbending abilities, such as using seismic sense, bending mineral-based pigments and liquefying stone without using heat.

6. #6Jianzhu

   Keys: Jianzhu

   Jianzhu was an Earth Sage, earthbending master, and one of the world's leading politicians. At the peak of his power, he was the de facto ruler of most of the Earth Kingdom, though his power was constantly challenged by political rivals. Having been Avatar Kuruk's close friend and later earthbending teacher, Jianzhu felt responsible for his friend's premature death due to his lack of guidance. Fueled by guilt and a desire to restore what he regarded as balance, Jianzhu stepped in and assumed many traditional duties of the Avatar. He forged a large network of allies and destroyed many rebel and bandit groups that had grown in power. Over time, his methods to maintain balance became more and more extreme to the point where he was willing to sacrifice anyone to achieve his goals. Eventually, Jianzhu identified a boy named Yun as Avatar and began to rigorously train him. This endeavor proved futile, however, as Yun was eventually proven to be a regular earthbender, whereas a servant girl named Kyoshi was the true Avatar. In a desperate attempt to gain control of Kyoshi and train her to become the perfect Avatar, Jianzhu sacrificed his pupil Yun and murdered his friend Kelsang. When she escaped, Jianzhu mobilized all his resources to hunt her down. In the process, he murdered both a large number of leading Earth Sages as well as Kyoshi's friend Lek. Jianzhu finally met his end when he confronted and dueled Kyoshi, but was interrupted and killed by a returned Yun. In his testament, Jianzhu bequeathed all his wealth to Kyoshi and vouched for her good name, his final attempt to shape her according to his ideals. Overall, Jianzhu greatly influenced Kyoshi, and she adopted some of his beliefs, though outright rejected others. Jianzhu was a highly intelligent, independent, rational, and determined man whose life was shaped by his belief that the Avatar had to bring order to the world. He was considered to be a noble-hearted individual who was very devoted to his friends and the world in his early life. Though always a strategical thinker and rather serious-minded, Jianzhu was more easygoing in his youth. While he continued to maintain a friendly, calm, and empathetic exterior, the feelings of guilt and tribulations of his life resulted in Jianzhu becoming increasingly ruthless, brutal, and disdainful of those whom he blamed for the evils of the world.
