Because of the way our father treated us, he thinks bending is a source of evil. Initially his followers took part in mere protests, but recently he's shown his ability to remove bending, and was found to have been amassing an arsenal of weaponry for an all-out attack on Republic City.

I don't believe that he is a bad person, but he has been put through so much that his vision of the world is just...distorted, now. He was lying completely to his followers back home as well, and I'm sure he thought that he was in the right despite everything.

I would like to trust him more than anyone, but I don't think that's possible anymore. I don't want anyone hurting him without just cause but I couldn't keep his identity secret.
