Zuko (or Prince Zuko) is a fictional character on the Nickelodeon animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender. He is voiced by Dante Basco.
In the show, Zuko is a skilled Firebender and the son of Fire Lord Ozai, ruler of the Fire Nation - a race of people with the ability to create and manipulate fire.[3] Before the events of the series, he is exiled from the Fire Nation and sent to capture the Avatar in order to restore his honor and right to the throne. Zuko is accompanied and advised in his search by his uncle, Iroh.
Although initially portrayed as an antagonist of the series, Zuko's sense of honor has caused him to go against his own nation and family. Zuko is also revealed to have an important connection to the Avatar. To that, he has realized that his real destiny is to join the Avatar, teach Aang firebending, end the war and restore balance to the world.
His paternal great-grandfather is Sozin, his maternal great grandfather is Avatar Roku.

[edit] History
Zuko was born to Princess Ursa and Prince Ozai. Always favored by his mother and neglected by his father, Zuko developed a close bond with his mother. Around six years before the series takes place, Zuko learns of the death of his cousin, Lu Ten, in battle during the siege of Ba Sing Se. This results in his uncle Iroh giving up the siege in grief and Zuko's father Ozai sees this as a chance to convince Fire Lord Azulon that he should inherit the throne. Ozai's request is denied and as punishment for attempting to exploit Iroh's loss, he is ordered to kill Zuko. However, Azulon dies and Ursa disappears before anything happens. (It is later learned that Ursa came up with a plan in which Ozai became Fire Lord and Zuko's life would be spared. This apparently led to Azulon's death and Ursa was banished as a result of it.) The next day, Zuko demands to know where Ursa is but receives no answer. He is later present at Azulon's funeral and Ozai's crowning as Fire Lord.
Two to three years later, Iroh allows a thirteen year old Zuko to enter a war meeting. Zuko, upon hearing of a general's plan to sacrifice novice troops in battle, speaks out in protest. Ozai demands Zuko duel in an Agni Kai, but when the duel begins, he finds himself dueling not the general, but Ozai himself. Zuko surrenders, unable to duel his own father. Ozai, seeing this as weakness and disrespect, scars Zuko, strips him of his birthright, and exiles him, under orders not to return unless he captured the Avatar. However, as his ancestors had already scoured the world for the Avatar, this was intended to be a "fool's mission" more than an actual assignment. The ultimate intention was most likely for him to never come back, as Ozai favored Azula and would want her to become Fire Lord instead of Zuko.
[edit] Plot overview
[edit] Book 1: Water
Apparently the TV show's original antagonist, Zuko first appears searching for the long lost Avatar with his Uncle Iroh and some crew members. After seeing a glow at the South Pole, he heads there, where he captures the Avatar but then loses custody of him. Throughout most of Book 1, Zuko pursues Aang but the Avatar evades him every time. Zuko also has to deal with his rival, Admiral Zhao, who does whatever he can to hinder the prince's progress. Zhao at one point successfully captures Aang, but Zuko frees the Avatar under the disguise of the Blue Spirit. Once Zhao discovers that Zuko and the Blue Spirit are the same person, he attempts to assassinate Zuko but fails. Zuko covertly stows aboard Zhao's ship with help from Iroh and infiltrates the North Pole. He captures the Avatar but his friends rescued him and captured Zuko. After escaping, he duels with Zhao for trying to kill him and is soon ended when the vengeful Ocean Spirit pulls Zhao under the surface as revenge for killing Tui, the Moon Spirit. Zuko gives Zhao his hand to grab to safety but Zhao refuses and drowns. Zuko later leaves with Iroh on a driftwood raft, as his ship was destroyed in the assassination attempt.
[edit] Book 2: Earth
After drifting for three weeks, Zuko and Iroh are tricked by Azula, Zuko's younger sister, into thinking that Ozai wants them home, but after the captain of her ship accidentally refers to them as prisoners, they fight her crew and escape. They are then declared traitors of the Fire Nation. Zuko has difficulty living as a fugitive from the Fire Nation and often resorts to theft. He decides to leave his Uncle and journeys to an earth village but is shunned when they discover his identity. Zuko reunites with Iroh during a battle with Azula. Zuko attempts to learn the most advanced form of fire bending: lightening bending. But Zuko is unable to learn because of his mind.
With Iroh's influence in the secret White Lotus Society, Zuko and Iroh smuggle themselves into Ba Sing Se, start a very successful new life, and manage to open their own tea shop, but Zuko learns of Aang's presence in the city and of the disappearance of Aang's bison. Zuko attempts to continue his search for the Avatar, but Iroh confronts him, convincing Zuko to let Appa go and stop his search. Zuko follows his uncle's advice, and after much struggle, apparently becomes a better person because of it. Azula later arrives in the city and captures Zuko with the help of her new allies, the Dai Li, while Iroh escapes. Zuko is imprisoned in a cave with Katara, and she insults him, but after learning that he also has been greatly harmed by the Fire Nation, she apologizes and sympathizes with him. They are soon rescued by Aang and Iroh, and when Katara and Aang leave, Iroh is captured by the Dai Li and Zuko is manipulated by Azula into betraying Iroh and helping her conquer Ba Sing Se. Following a long battle with Aang and Katara in which the Avatar was fatally wounded, Azula congratulates Zuko and tells him he has restored his honor. Zuko, however, still appears conflicted.
[edit] Book 3: Fire
Zuko and Azula return home as war heroes and Zuko's father personally congratulates him for becoming a powerful warrior and staying loyal to his nation. Zuko went to Iroh, who was currently in prison, for advice over his confusion, but Iroh would not talk to him. Not knowing what to do, Zuko sent an assassin after Aang in order to eliminate him. Following this, Zuko finally talks to Iroh after being sent a note about his great grandfather. He learns he is descended from Avatar Roku and it is his destiny, according to Iroh, to end the war. He takes Iroh's advice and realizes that he can never be the son his father wants him to be and that the war must come to an end. During The Day of Black Sun, he leaves Mai (now his girlfriend) a message in a scroll and expresses regret at leaving her. He then confronts his father, telling him how he felt both about Ozai's treatment of him and the war. He then explains his intentions to free Iroh and join the Avatar. He turns to leave but is baited with knowledge of what happened to his mother, Princess Ursa. After learning she was banished as opposed to dead as he believed, he is attacked with lightning by Ozai at the end of the eclipse, but redirects it and escapes. He attempts to free Iroh, but Iroh has already escaped. Zuko then leaves to join the Avatar.
Zuko arrives at the Western Air Temple and attempts to join the Avatar by pointing out all the good things he's done and that he could teach him Firebending. Aang refuses (partly because the firebender accidentally revealed he sent Combustion Man after him), and Zuko leaves. Toph, knowing that Zuko was telling the truth, goes to find him in the middle of the night, but she is accidentally burned when Zuko thinks it is someone there to harm him. The next day, Zuko saves Aang and company from a surprise attack of the Combustion Man. After Sokka ultimately defeats the assassin, they allow Zuko another chance to explain himself. Aang sees that Zuko has really changed, and so they welcome Zuko into the group, with the exception of Katara who is very reluctant to do so, due to his betrayal at Ba Sing Se. Once Zuko is alone, Katara darkly gave a warning that if he gives any intention of harming Aang, she will kill him without mercy.
A short time after, Zuko sets out to teach Aang about Firebending only to find that his own connection to his Firebending has somehow been severed. To remedy this, he and Aang travel to the ruined city of the Sun Warrior people, discovering that the tribe continues to exist in secret. Here, they find out about the last two dragons and learn their secrets, allowing Zuko to re-focus and Firebend again; the experience sets a strong bond between Aang and Zuko, despite their history.
Sokka is thinking of his father one day, knowing that Zuko is of the Fire Nation, he requests the knowledge of where he has been taken. Zuko refuses to tell him, but only after Sokka persists does Zuko tell him of The Boiling Rock, a top secret prison located in the middle of a boiling lake, atop a volcano, between the Fire Nation and the Western Air Temple. Sokka tells Zuko that he just wanted knowledge, and that he will not attempt to save his father. However, Zuko does not believe him and waits on Appa for Sokka's attempt to fly to the prison. Zuko decides to help, and instead of taking Appa they take his war balloon. Once they arrive at the prison they dress as prison guards, befriend some of the prisoners, find Kyoshi Warrior Suki, and eventually Chief Hakoda, Sokka's father. They attempt to escape on a gondola by taking the Warden, Mai's uncle, hostage. However, Azula and Ty Lee catch them and fight in battle, while the guards back at the prison are attempting to sever the gondola's line. However, Mai defeats the guards and lets Zuko escape.
[edit] Appearance
Zuko's distinguishing marks include an enormous facial burn scar radiating from his left eye over his ear. Formerly, his head was shaven but for a small queue of black hair at the back. After slicing off his top-knot as a show of his severance from his family in the episode "The Avatar State," Zuko begins to let his hair grow out, until it grows over his eyes and he gets a royal trim in "Nightmares and Daydreams".
[edit] Personality
While initially the series primary antagonist, over time Zuko is shown to be more of a bitter and complex young man than a truly evil character; he eventually forsakes his past goals and becomes a hero. Zuko's good heart was, for most of the series, over-ruled by his desire to be allowed to return home; Zuko wanted more than anything to have his place as heir to the Fire Nation throne and his father's love. Zuko believed (or forced himself to believe) that capturing the Avatar will make these wishes come true, which made him Aang's most determined enemy.
Zuko believes that a person becomes strong by having to struggle and fight for what they want. He has said that he does not want to have good luck, because he feels he can control his own fate. Yet all the misfortune in his life has lead him to believe the world is set against him. This manifests as unflexible determination and an iron-will that even his foes acknowledge.[4]
Zuko has numerous contradictory traits, beliefs, and behaviors. As a result of being raised as Fire Nation royalty, he is domineering and not afraid to assert authority, and disdains working with people he believes are inferior to himself, yet he adamantly refuses to view people as expendable; it was Zuko's belief that it is wrong to sacrifice young troops as a diversionary war tactic that led to his exile when he voiced his opinion and angered his father, Ozai.[5] During his banishment, Zuko displayed a near total obsession with pursuing and capturing the Avatar, using whatever means he thought necessary to gain the upper hand. Although he has said that the capture of the Avatar is a greater concern to him than the safety of his crew or even himself, he retains some compassion, choosing to rescue Iroh when he was captured, rather than pursue Aang,[6] and also risked his own life to save a member of his crew during a fierce storm. Towards the end of the storm, the crew spots Aang, but rather than chase the Avatar, Zuko orders the ship and crew to safety.[5]
Because the prospect of returning home and being forgiven was Zuko's sole motivation, he is marked by abject despair at having lost his chance early in the second season. He finds himself in perhaps the most dire situation possible, hunted by his ruthless and cruel sister, Azula, while attempting to survive as a penniless fugitive in the Earth Kingdom. Zuko had nothing, even less than his days of banishment, something he cannot seem to accept. At first, Zuko turns to robbery, even stealing from those who have been kind to him.[7] After some time, however, partially in thanks to a talk from Iroh, Zuko gains a more reasonable outlook. Although theft is still necessary from time to time, he refuses to steal from already needy people, or people who have shown him kindness. He also defended an Earth Kingdom village against a group of thugs who terrorized its people after having been appointed to protect them.[8] Over time, Zuko becomes more patient, kind, precise, and calculating; traits necessary to evade Azula's pursuit while staying incognito from local authorities. During "Lake Laogai", he even sets Aang's pet bison and primary mode of transportation, Appa, free from Dai Li captivity at Iroh's suggestion.[9]
These traits would become dominant after Zuko's fevered dreams and hallucinations in "The Earth King," as afterwards he displayed a considerably more optimistic attitude towards life and seemed quite content to settle for a peaceful life on incongreguity in Ba Sing Se.[10] However, Azula - discovering him within the city - successfully tapped into and manipulated his still lingering desire for the love and approval of his father, and convinced him to betray Iroh and become her ally in "The Crossroads of Destiny." Zuko continued to insist that he had truly changed even after joining Azula, but it became clear that he was still conflicted about his choices, and is uncomfortable with his betrayal of Iroh, who had become a father figure to him.[11] . At The Beach on Ember Island, Zuko admits that he is angry with himself, saying he's not sure he knows right from wrong. Zuko later gets a note about revealing his destiny, which leads him to learn about his great-grandfather Sozin's history. Not finding much significance, he turns to Iroh, who tells him that Avatar Roku is his mother's grandfather, whom Sozin betrayed. Iroh claims that Zuko's inner conflict is due to his good and evil nature that he inherited from Roku and Sozin respectively.
In Nightmares and Daydreams he became upset when he wasn't informed of a war meeting in which his sister was invited, but was lifted when a servant later came and informed him that Ozai would not start the meeting without him. But later, he told Mai that even when his father saw him as the perfect prince, he still didn't feel like himself. During the events of The Day of Black Sun, Zuko comes to realize that he must restore peace to the world by joining the Avatar and fighting the tyranny of his nation. He discards his previous beliefs in the Fire Nation's greatness, proudly proclaims his Uncle as the source of this inspiration, and defiantly swears to his father that he will help Aang defeat him.
Zuko's newfound sense of humility and peace of mind does give him the courage to ask the Avatar's forgiveness, however not the words to express it. Initially rejected by the group, he does partially earn their faith by saving them from the Combustion Man, a fact which he expresses with much joy and enthusiasm. His past crimes still haunt him however, since even though the heroes have welcomed him, he still must work to earn their trust on account of everything he had done to them, especially Katara, who has implicitly threatened to kill him should he give her any reason to think he would betray Aang. As for the Avatar himself, despite their past conflicts and fights, both are showing a rapidly developing friendship and trust. Though Zuko still has some issues to work through, he is far more composed and receptive. Since coming to terms with his own true feelings he has become a much more laid-back and empathic person.
[edit] Firebending and special skills
[edit] Firebending
Zuko has shown himself to be a highly skilled Firebender, brimming with a potential which befits his lineage as carrying both the bloodlines of Fire Lord Sozin and Avatar Roku. The first true measure of his ability came in the Agni Kai against Zhao just three episodes into the series. Zhao was a master Firebender and a high ranking officer in the Fire Nation Navy. Although Zuko struggled in much of the duel, the fact that he managed to defeat Zhao was a major accomplishment for a teenage fighter with far less experience than his opponent.[12] Because Zuko spends much of the first season constantly doing battle with various foes, including Aang himself,[13] his skills as a fighter have improved greatly. At the end of the season, he not only defeats Katara in the Moon Shrine after the sun rises, but he also defeats Zhao far more easily and impressively before the Ocean Spirit ends the duel by carrying Zhao off.[4]
Throughout Book 2 there have been signs that his skill may be improving as he traveled with his uncle Iroh. In the Book's first episode, Zuko was unable to land a single blow on Azula during their fight.[14] However, during their second encounter, Zuko fares far better, (although Azula still certainly has the upper hand), trading fire blasts with her until he fell into a partially destroyed building, which allowed Azula to strike a knockout blow while he was recovering.[15] Finally, in the last episode "The Crossroads of Destiny" Zuko was shown fighting fairly evenly against the Avatar. In Zuko's first fight with the Avatar in the second episode, Zuko could not land a hit against Aang, but in the final episode, not only were they more evenly matched, but the two fought to an almost perfect standoff, broken only when Katara and Azula changed opponents. Zuko would eventually confront his sister in "The Boiling Rock", in which he was able to successfully defend against Azula's attacks, and fought her to a stalemate by fighting as a team with Sokka.
Following the resumption of his training under Iroh, the very nature of Zuko's fighting style has undergone an evolution.[16] Throughout the first Book his style was based on overwhelming force; nearly all of his attacks produced either a large fireball or a long sheet of flame. While powerful, this style also was reckless, direct, left him open to counterattacks and almost certainly consumed a large amount of energy. (In the first duel with Zhao, for example, Zuko is panting and visibly tired after launching just a few attacks).[12] In the second Book he begins, like his uncle, to show far more finesse, refinement and economy of energy. For example, when faced by an enemy archer, rather than launching a large flame to bowl him over, he sends a small bolt of flame that burns a hole through both bow and string, completely disarming him. Also, like Azula he begins projecting flames from his fingertips rather than his fist and, as seen when he lit numerous candles during his date with Jin in "Tales of Ba Sing Se", this allows him to hit multiple targets with great accuracy in a matter of seconds.[17]
During his time alone, he revealed the ability to use Firebending in conjunction with his already prodigious skill with dual broadswords, which use of allowed him to create fire-blasts that can cut through stone. This was necessary at the time, as the Earthbender soldier he was dueling with had dual warhammers and proved to be a formidable opponent, though this is because Zuko didn't do any Bending against him and when he started Firebending he easily defeated him.
In the season finale of Book 2, Zuko is shown utilizing a number of new tactics and techniques. First, he was shown to charge up his attacks, which significantly increased their power and efficiency in a manner similar to a technique of Azula's. The most powerful of these shots, which resembled a comet, had enough power to not only break a wall of crystals but temporarily knock Aang out. Secondly, he used his Firebending in the shape of long whips or lashes, a maneuver that proved to be an effective mid or long range attack and more malleable than simply shooting a ball of flame.[11] As a result he was able to battle on even terms with Katara, who at that point had long since been declared a Waterbending master,[4] and Aang, who now capable with Water and Earthbending, along with a mastery of Airbending. In The Western Air Temple he utilizes a wall of flame to stop a combustion attack. At the conclusion of "The Firebending Masters", Zuko was granted access to an ancient form of Firebending (The Dancing Dragon) along with renewed access to his own Firebending. Zuko occasionally demonstrated the ability to breathe fire, just as his father and uncle Iroh have in the past, albeit in a considerably less impressive fashion. When infiltrating the Northern Water Tribe capital city, he use the ability to warm his body and enough to sustain the harsh cold weather.[18] Zuko also attempted to learn from his Uncle the ability to create lightning, however, he was unable to do so due to the conflict in his heart. Instead, Iroh taught Zuko about his unique ability to 'redirect' lightning based on Waterbending techniques, though Iroh refused to test this technique due to the immense risk involved. Despite this, Zuko does eventually redirect lightning, against his own father no less, when the latter attacked him on the Day of Black Sun. This shows that Zuko's skills in conquering lightning have come a long way since his Uncle's lessons. In addition to this, Zuko seems to overcome the conflict within his heart in the events of the Invasion, yet whether he now has the ability to create lightning has yet to be seen.
[edit] Other skills
As well as being a proficient Firebender, Zuko has also shown to be highly skilled in the use of the dual Dao swords, a talent he refined during his time at sea. This is best displayed in the episode "The Blue Spirit", when Zuko had to refrain from using his bending abilities and was shown defeating scores of Fire Nation soldiers.[19] In Zuko Alone he easily defeats a small squadron of Earth Kingdom soldiers, and even takes on their Earthbending leader with just his swords, but he has to use Firebending to finish him off.[8]
Zuko's final ability is stealth. His ability to infiltrate a guarded fortress was amply demonstrated in the episodes "The Blue Spirit," "The Siege of the North," and "Lake Laogai." In each case, Zuko entered hostile territory and managed to reach his objective without being caught,[9] although the circumstances of each separate at this point. Also, the different natures of those fortresses show that he is adaptable to circumstances as well.[18] He is also skilled at the art of the ambush, laying cunning traps for his victims, both demonstrated when he briefly turned bandit[20] and when he later set a trap for an agent of the Dai Li in order to obtain information on Appa's location.[9] This ability ties in well with his swordsmanship, and is a key facet of his 'Blue Spirit' persona.
Exemplifying the differences between Zuko and Azula's respective personalities are their fighting styles. Whereas Azula gains immense strength in combat through her removed and sociopathic mentality and gains the ability to master lightning, Zuko is completely emotional and finds more strength in his passions and convictions.
Zuko has grown up in the shadow of his Firebending-prodigy sister Azula and many, even Zuko himself, view him as struggling. However, this is so because Zuko has been compared to the most powerful Firebenders alive, such as his sister, father and uncle. In truth, Zuko is arguably one of the most skilled Firebenders in his own right, able to beat Firebending Masters such as Zhao in Agni Kai and in normal combat. There has been considerable suggestion in the show that Zuko's potential capabilities were being held back by various mental obstacles, such as his single-minded drive to capture the Avatar contrasting with his established relaxed and gentle nature before it was literally burned out of him by Fire Lord Ozai. As these conflicts have continued to be resolved in his mind, Zuko's abilities have increased in accordance.
Like most other Firebenders, Zuko is generally agile, as can be seen in many of his battles with Aang. He is also very strong physically. In The Beach he was able to send Ruon Jian back several meters with a slight push of his palm. A more recent example of this is in the episode "The Western Air Temple", where Zuko descends a sheer cliff via a rope to get to the floor of the temple. He ends up having to swing in under the ceiling and down onto the floor, dropping a significant height, and landing gracefully with little effort. In "The Firebending Masters", he was easily able to bypass a large spike pit by running along the wall.
