Iroh

Iroh (also known as The Dragon of the West, and most commonly referred to as "Uncle" by his niece and nephew) is a fictional character in Nickelodeon's animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender. The character, created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, was voiced by Mako in the first and second seasons, but after Mako's death of esophageal cancer, Iroh was voiced by Greg Baldwin in the third season. The short story "The Tale of Iroh", in episode 13 of Season Two, "The Tales of Ba Sing Se", was dedicated "In Honor of Mako".

Iroh is a Firebending master and a former Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, a race of people who can create and manipulate fire. He is a retired General of the Fire Nation, and elder brother of Fire Lord Ozai. Iroh accompanied his exiled nephew, Zuko, on his quest to capture Aang, the long-lost Avatar, in order to restore the young prince's honor and rights to the throne.

In "Tales of Ba Sing Se", Iroh’s name was written as 艾洛 (aì lùo).
