Amak is a minor character in the fanon Avatar: The Legacy of Rong Yan. Amak is Tulok's cousin and Cupun's nephew who Senlin and his cronies poisoned and left to die.
History[]
Northern Water Tribe Military[]
Amak was groomed into the military at the ripe age of 16 through hard work and dedication he ascended the ranks to an officer. While he never saw battle because of Cupun, he was also considered the unofficial royal captain of the guard. While others believed it was his relationship to the chief, it was proven false. His father was also a military veteran who served ten years in the military before he married Niyok, Cupun's sister. Eventually, Captain Sokka was assumed to the rank of the Royal Captain of the guard, when Elder Noa was arrested.
Current Life[]
Amak was introduced in Chapter 17: The Northern Water Tribe, he was mentioned by Chief Cupun and then later by one of the corrupt guardsmen in the Cut-Throat Alley. When Senlin and Palartok asked for information on a target, the guard told them about Amak.
Cupun often scolds Tulok by telling him Amak does not act the way Tulok does. Amak has a more serious personality. A natural leader and far more mature than his cousin Tulok the heir apparent to the Northern Water Tribe.
Death[]
It is known that Amak patrolled with the royal guards in the Upper-Class district of Aupaluk in the evening. Normally, in the northeastern section of the district, the guard told Palartok to pretend to arrest Senlin the would-be thief and then trick the captain.
They were directed toward barracks near the alley where all the guards were bought off. Armor was given to Palartok to be used as a disguise and hide his face. They had also bought leaves of the White jade bush from an alchemist. They were instructed to boil the leaves in a pot and pour its contents into a vial. For later use they can pour the poison onto the dagger they planned to use.
That evening Senlin and Palartok reached the northeastern section of Aupaluk's Upper-Class district and acted the part. Senlin stole something of someone's porch and ran from Palartok, from the memory of Palartok he knew what a captain's armor looked like and identified the young man right away.
Senlin ran across the snowy sidewalks of the streets when Palartok screamed for help as he gave chase to the earthbender. Amak heard the scream and ran to help his comrade when they chased Senlin into an alley, both men turned the tables on the young man. Senlin lodged the poisoned blade into Amak's ribs.
They watched him die from that point on and his body succumbed to the effects of the plant. After doing so, they dropped the evidence they planned to plant on the body. The dagger designed of Qiangdian origin, the forged scroll that claimed a hit, and identification papers of the Qiangdian mercenaries.
Investigation and Burial[]
The next morning while Cupun and Tulok were in a meeting with the Court of Elders. Sokka and the other guards found Amak's body after a woman discovered it in the alley. The investigations done by the other guards after Sokka left suspected that white jade poison was used.
The test consisted of a droplet of white jade poison mixing with a drop of blood if it coagulated then it was the poison the man suspected. Sokka had run to Elder Noa's estate to find Cupun and Tulok and give them the grim news.
The royal guards found the planted evidence the dagger of Qianda Kingdom design, the passports and the scroll with the forged signature of Earth King Qiang Zhen.
When Sokka arrived to the meeting he disrupted it to speak with the chief and the prince. After he gave the news it sparked outrage and panic amongst the elders. Which led to events that Cupun and Tulok were unaware of while they arranged the burial of their fallen relative.
Ashuna and her temple workers received the body from the guards who carried it there, she investigated the body where she called an old friend of hers. An alchemist that specialized in poisons named Mamittuk. Mamittuk identified the poison with the same method that the royal guard used as a white jade plant.
When the family arrived she performed all the needed rituals to prepare the body for burial and the soul toward the afterlife. After the rituals were done the body was buried in a cavern near the spirit forest above the city of Aupaluk. Where every royal was buried even to the very first chief himself.
