Nakoa Aeluq

Nakoa Aeluq (纳科阿·埃卢克; Nàkē’ā Āilúkè; bunnobarbie^[IGN]) was the Avatar succeeding Tharra Namthari and preceeding Wei Zhu-Liang. He was a native of Agna Qel'a of the Northern Water Tribe. As the Avatar, he mastered all the four elements; waterbending, earthbending, firebending, and airbending. He had also learned spirit bending from his sister, Nulae Aeluq.

He died in the Spirit World after entering the rift in an attempt to restore balance.

Background

Early Life

Raised in the Healing Huts in Agna Qel'a, Nakoa learned healing from his mother, a skilled healer who taught younger generations waterbending and how to connect to their spiritual selves. His talent caught the attention of the Eclipse Sage, who had made him the caretaker of the Spirit Oasis, where he tended to the ancient spirits of the moon and the ocean, Tui and La. Due to pressure from his father, Nakoa reluctantly joined the Water Tribe's military. And shortly thereafter was offered a position in the Water Tribe's Mastery Branch, being taken under the then-Grandmaster's wing, Matai Loffiku.

Avatar identification

Nakoa learned he was the Avatar through his mentor Matai Loffiku. Chieftain Sefina Silana and her council sent him to the Earth Kingdom. In Ba Sing Se, he was received by the Earth King and housed in the palace ring where he later trained earthbending with the then-Head of Dai Li Erez Kape. He later trained with the Air Nomads at Air Temple Island under Elder Tiny Ruzgar's supervision.

Teachings & Death

Nulae, his sister, had taught him spirit bending, as well as Banyan Grove Divination. Nakoa had spent his final days hunting down Rohaang in order to end the Red Lotus and Dark Avatar Tatsuo's legacy. Rohaang found them and said that Jaseras might be in the Fog of Lost Souls.

Avatar Nakoa perished in the Spirit World, battling corrupted spirits, before succumbing to his accumulated wounds.
