Guard Captain Idasho

Captain Idasho is a middle ring citizen of Ba Sing Se. She serves as the City Guard's Captain, managing all executive and internal affairs. She is a 29 year old earthbender and lavabender.

Idasho was born in the lower ring of Ba Sing Se. She was an above average earthbender with a unique ability; she could increase the temperature of stones, allowing her to send searing hot projectiles at her adversaries. This led to her receiving a significant amount of notoriety and even reaching the ears of the Dai Li, which led to her being marked as a person of interest. Several years later, she applied to the organization and made it in, going through the 18 month training process. For unknown reasons, she removed her application at the 17th month and spent a year reflecting on the choices she'd made. Following this, Idasho applied and climbed up the ranks of the City Guard with the intention of reforming the organization. At the time, the Guard was widely regarded as an underperforming substitute to the Dai Li, and for good reason. Its Guard Captain (Idasho's predecessor) was apallingly absent and many guards were corrupt and susceptible to bribes or sexual favors. After 7 years, Idasho climbed to the rank of Senior Lieutenant, which granted her much of the power of a Guard Captain by virtue of her superior's absence. He then retired, granting Idasho even greater control over the Guard. By improving the proactivity of the Guard and persuading BSS News Ned into favorably reporting on its behalf, the City Guard is on track to become a respected institution, although there's plenty of corruption still remaining. Idasho has dedicated most of her life to the management of the Guard, even resorting to questionably legal ops teams to handle cases stymied by red tape.
