Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk’itan was Jake Sully and Neytiri's first-born son, and the older brother of Kiri, Lo'ak, and Tuktirey.

As the eldest brother of Kiri, Lo’ak, and Tuktirey, Neteyam gets them out of dangerous situations. When the RDA attacked, he and his family went into hiding under the protection of the Metkayina clan, and began learning their ways. Since Neteyam often threw his weight on his brother's side, he and Lo'ak would regularly get into trouble. Tensions rose between the brothers when Lo'ak viewed Neteyam as the "perfect son" who could do no wrong.

Neteyam died fighting in the Second Pandoran War during the skirmish at the Three Brothers, on a mission with his brother to rescue Spider from the RDA. After successfully retrieving him, the three of them underwent heavy fire. Neteyam provided cover for Lo'ak and Spider, and after making sure they made it into the water safely, he followed last. However, he suffered a bullet wound and died in front of his parents, Lo'ak, Spider, and Tsireya. After the bloodbath, the clan held a water funeral and buried him with the Metkayina's ancestors. (His death does NOT happen in this scenario)

Neteyam was born in 2155 as the firstborn son of Jake and Neytiri. His birth and life was celebrated by the entire Omatikaya clan. Jake and Neytiri welcomed their first child into the world with great emotion and love. Around the same time, his parents adopted Kiri, the daughter born from the avatar of Grace Augustine. Together, both babies performed their first connection with the family. Neytiri sang the songcord with verses dedicated to Neteyam and Kiri.

When Neteyam was a few years old, his father Jake began teaching him how to hunt with a bow by catching a fish. When Neteyam succeeded, Jake was very proud of his son. Neteyam was the first of the brothers to undergo his Iknimaya ritual and bond with a mountain banshee, succeeding on the first try. He supported his younger brother, Lo'ak, as he went through his own test, who failed on the first try.

Battle of the ISV Venture Star (Avatar: The High Ground)

As new spaceships approached Pandora, Jake and other Na'vi began training in zero gravity. Jake allowed Neteyam to attend his last session, but he refused to fight. Later, Neteyam was received by the representative Yeyatley in the council of elders, where they tried to decide whether to attack the RDA ships. When his brothers sneaked off into the woods and disappeared during the council, Neteyam helped his parents look for them and he was the one who found them.

Neteyam found sneaking onto the spaceship. When Jake and Neytiri talk about their upcoming plan to fight the RDA in space, they ordered Neteyam and the rest of the kids to take shelter at High Camp. Neteyam does not wish to remain at High Camp, instead wishing to fight, though Jake declines the offer. However, he sneaks on-board the space shuttle anyway, causing his parents to become displeased when they found out, Jake wanted to return his son safely to the base, but ultimately allowed him to stay and placed him in care of Akwey, the leader of the Olangi Clan.

When his parents fail to take over the bridge, Jake orders Norm Spellman to take Neteyam and flee to Wu Mingxia's shuttle. When it is time for everyone to head to the extraction point, Neteyam refuses to leave his parents behind, so Akwey and Norm follow the Na'vi boy. When Jake and Neytiri finally escape out the ship, Mingxia's shuttle arrives for the group and they re-enter Pandora's atmosphere.

Even though Jake is reluctant to bring Neteyam along, Neteyam follows his parents on his banshee to rescue his siblings at Hell's Gate who were imprisoned and betrayed by Nash McCosker. Although Jake considers yelling at Neteyam, he finds himself unable to scold him as Neteyam is doing exactly what he would have done, and agrees to take Neteyam along. The family becomes involved in another chase and flees into the forest. After a series of events involving a crash landing into the ocean, the group is rescued by Norm in a Samson.

When humans returned to Pandora, Neteyam assisted his parents in cutting off the supply chains to Bridgehead. Although originally assigned to be a spotter, he reluctantly followed Lo'ak who attempted to help gather weapons on the ground during a confrontation with the Sky People. In this situation, Neteyam was injured when a Kestrel Gunship arrived and shot missiles at them. Neteyam was later reprimanded by his father for not following instructions and acting as the older brother, after which his grandmother Mo'at and Kiri tend to his injuries.

While Neteyam and his parents were on a banshee flight together, Jake received a call from Lo'ak, his sisters and Spider that they had encountered blue soldiers in the woods, near the old Link Shack that was left abandoned after the assault on the Tree of Souls. Neteyam helped track them down, though Jake didn't want him personally involved in fighting the Recombinants. Neteyam disobeyed and killed a Recom (Zhang) who was about to shoot his mother, thereby saving her life. In turn, Jake saved him from being shot by the Recom squad. The Sully family successfully escaped, but Spider was abducted in the process.

Living with the Metkayina Clan

Knowing that Quaritch was hunting them, the Sully family migrated from their current home to coastal regions searching for protection at Awa'atlu, the main village of the Metkayina clan. Neteyam and his siblings soon befriended Tsireya, Aonung and Rotxo, young locals from the clan, who introduced them to the underwater world.

While adapting to their new environment, Neteyam defended Kiri and Lo'ak from Aonung after the Metkayina boys called them "freaks". Neteyam was able to diffuse the situation, but Lo'ak instigated a fight with Aonung and his friends, leading to Neteyam joining the fight to back his brother up. As a result, they are both scolded by their father again for disobeying his order to stay out of trouble. However, once Lo'ak left, Jake asked Neteyam how the other kids looked, to which Neteyam replied they looked a lot worse, to Jake's satisfaction.

Neteyam ordering Aonung to come clean. Later, Neteyam heard from Aonung that he tricked Lo'ak into hunting beyond the reef of the village and left him there. Neteyam dragged Aonung to tell his father and was with his parents when Lo'ak was led back to the village by a tulkun. The next day, Neteyam, his siblings and their friends listen to Lo'ak explain how the tulkun called Payakan saved his life. He appears to not seem to take his brother's words that Payakan is not a murderer seriously, an even ridiculed the story, which makes Lo'ak leave.

Later, Neteyam, Kiri and Tuktirey were taken to the most sacred place of the clan, the Cove of the Ancestors, where the Spirit Tree is found underwater and they connect with it. However, Kiri has a seizure after having a vision of her birth mother Grace Augustine. Neteyam helped her up back to the surface and took her home for help.

Neteyam watches Lo'ak enter Payakan's mouth. When the tulkun returned from their migration, Neteyam joined the Metkayina and his siblings in welcoming the giant creatures on an ilu. Shortly after, Neteyam, along with Aonung, Tsireya, and Rotxo, witnessed Lo'ak bonding with Payakan.

Skirmish at the Three Brothers and Death

When the Metkayina found out that Ro'a was killed by the tulkun hunters, Neteyam with his father tried to calm them down to listen to him, having the tracking device that was embedded in the female tulkun's corpse. When Lo'ak wanted to find Payakan to warn him about the tulkun hunters, Neteyam tried to stop him. However, they ended up in a verbal quarrel, with Lo'ak pointing out Neteyam for being Jake's perfect son, then brushing off his concern and swimming away on an ilu. Neteyam and the others followed.

He helped save Payakan from the whalers who just tagged him with a tracking device, intending to hunt him down and kill him. Neteyam removed the tracker and swam off with it on an ilu to lead the whalers away. He was shot at with sonar beacons, but he ultimately escaped unharmed. Neteyam boarded the SeaDragon to help rescue Lo'ak, Tsireya, Spider, and Tuktirey after they were kidnapped. Although Neteyam was prepared to leave, Lo'ak convinced Neteyam to join him in finding and rescuing Spider.

While in the ship, Neteyam shot at a group of human soldiers as well as the Recombinants Lyle Wainfleet and Prager in order to cover for his siblings. Neteyam followed Spider and Lo'ak by diving into the moon pool, but was shot through the chest by Wainfleet from return fire.

Lo'ak and Spider soon realized Neteyam was bleeding profusely in the water. Neteyam was pulled to safety onto a rock by Lo'ak, Spider and Tsireya. Neytiri arrived by ikran and was frightened by the situation. Jake attempted to stop his bleeding, but realized it was too late when he saw that the bullet had an exit wound on his back. Neteyam told his family that he wanted to go home, and Jake reassured Neteyam that they would all be going home. Neteyam wanted to say something else, but he soon bled out and perished before he could, leaving the group distraught.

Post-Death

A funeral ceremony was held that night by the Metkayina clan for Neteyam and other dead clan members. Just before it, his mother Neytiri sang her songcord as a lament for her deceased son. His body is escorted by his family just offshore inside the reef and laid to rest by both his parents where at the bottom it would be gradually devoured in a golden field of bioluminescent sea anemones.

At dusk the next day, Jake visits Tonowari and Ronal at their marui to inform them that he and his family will move on tomorrow, however Tonowari comments on his son lying with the clan's ancestors and labels Jake as being Metkayina now; basically telling him to stay. Jake then realizes he can't keep running and vows to protect his new home.

Neteyam's memory seen within the Spirit Tree. At night, both Jake and Neytiri visit the Cove of the Ancestors and connect to the Spirit Tree. Jake revisits a memory of when he taught Neteyam as a child how to fish, sharing the memory with Neytiri who watches the happy interaction from afar. In the memory, Jake is in a glade near a small waterfall in the Omatikaya forest where a young Neteyam is hunting a fish by himself. As Jake approaches, Neteyam is excited to see him and he proudly shows the fish to his father. Neteyam's appearance suddenly transforms to that of being a teenager. Due to being a backed up memory,[3] Neteyam is unaware of his death and wondered why his father was crying. Jake replies that he was simply happy to see him. Neteyam says that he's happy to see him too. His appearance then transforms back to being a child, in which he lets Jake have a chance at using his bow to also shoot a fish. They then celebrate Jake's success.

Sometime later, Lo'ak visits the Spirit World to fly with Neteyam's memory on their ikrans. After a joyous ride, Neteyam asks Lo'ak how he died. Lo'ak reveals the truth and feels guilt about it, but Neteyam's memory reassures Lo'ak that he is not to blame. Lo'ak then detaches from the Spirit Tree. After the Battle at the Cove of the Ancestors, when Kiri and Spider connect to the Spirit Tree, Neteyam is among those who greet them. Neteyam takes part in welcoming Spider as one of the People.

Personality and Traits

Neteyam telling Jake he will look after his siblings. Kind, responsible and possessing strong virtue, Neteyam was the "perfect son” of the Sully family whose example the other children were to supposed to follow, as he held himself to a high standard.[4] Due to resembling the Na'vi physically (lacking eyebrows and having one less finger on each hand), Neteyam did not have to face the same insecurities that Lo'ak and Kiri had to which got to both of their self-esteems. However, he is never seen condescending the two because of their avatar/human DNA.

Inheriting a blend of Jake's and Neytiri's noble and honorable nature, Neteyam carried himself with a strong, confident demeanor and was well-liked by his clan. Even other Clan Leaders, like Akwey and Ikeyni, spoke warmly about Neteyam and praised how much he resembled his parents especially his mother Neytiri and how well he was growing.[5] Neteyam desired to be a great leader and a warrior like his father, but his age, Jake's protective nature, and his siblings' antics undermined his attempts to prove himself.

Neteyam took his role as the eldest son seriously, and was often tasked by his parents to keep an eye on his siblings. Jake and Neytiri viewed him as reliable and would take him on many of their missions. He strove to set a good example for them. When he was older, he was very protective of his siblings and focused more on keeping them safe than having fun with them. In moments of peace, Neteyam let himself joke, tease, and banter with his siblings, such as showing amusement at Lo'ak's poorly hidden attraction towards Tsireya.

Neteyam never complained about the drastic changes that was hurled his way, and seemed to take everything into stride. It was only when he was dying that he showed his true feelings and voiced his wishes about returning home and living a peaceful life. When his memory is visited within the Spirit Tree, he is seen as a child sharing a proud accomplishment with his father in nature. A reasonable explanation for this is that Eywa sensed Neteyam's will to return home and experience a simpler time before the war, hence Jake and Neytiri perceive him as a carefree child within his memory.

However, he also changes to his current age briefly. He is no longer wearing any of his warrior items such as his armguards or even his cummerbund; instead he is only wearing his usual choker that he wore in the forest (instead of the warrior neckpiece he wore at the ocean), making it possible their connection to home is what he wished to share with his father, as well as define his memory.

Neteyam killing Zhang. Neteyam was a natural athlete; he is talented and excelled at all things, being nearly unmatched in hunting prowess among the other young members of the Omatikaya clan. His ikran flying was almost as adequate as his mother's. He was an expert at archery and was the youngest of the Omatikaya clan to make a clean kill on a sturmbeest hunt.
