From Avatar Wiki
The Fire Lord is the ruler of the Fire Nation. The current Fire Lord is Zuko. The Fire Lord is usually the most powerful Firebender in the world. The Fire Lord's palace and seat of government reside in the Fire Nation Capital.
Traditionally, the title of Fire Lord is passed down from father to eldest son, although there have been exceptions to this rule. After the death of Fire Lord Azulon, Ozai ascended to the throne even though he was the second son after Iroh. Also, when Prince Zuko was banished from the Fire Nation, the heir apparent was his sister, Azula.
The Fire Lord is always a master Firebender, as he may be challenged for the position in an Agni Kai (though in practice, this rarely happens).
[edit] History
During the distant past, the Fire Nation was ruled as a theocracy lead by the Fire Sages. The Fire Lord position at this time was merely the head sage, but subsequent holders of the position desired it to hold greater power, and so split away from the sages, thus beginning the Fire Nation's Royal Family. Despite animosity between the two, the power balance had reached a state of equilibrium by the time of Fire Lord Sozin; however, who finally subjugated the Sages to the Fire Lord's rule.
More recently, Fire Lord Ozai established a position for himself known as Phoenix King, with Azula next in line to become Fire Lord. With this title, Ozai declared himself the ruler of the entire world, and entrusted Azula to lead the Fire Nation. However, during the arrival of Sozin's Comet, Zuko and Katara arrived during Azula's coronation and after hearing Zuko declare he would be becoming Fire Lord, not her, Azula challenged him to an Agni Kai for the right to become Fire Lord. After an intense battle, Zuko and Katara defeated Azula, who had a complete mental breakdown after her defeat. After Ozai was defeated by Aang, Zuko was coronated as Fire Lord, vowing to restore the Fire Nation's honor and to rebuild the war-torn world.
[edit] Fire Lords
- Sozin - c. 940 (160YA) ~ 1020 (80YA)
- Azulon - 1020 (80YA) ~ 1095 (5YA)
- Ozai - 1095 (5YA) ~ 1100
- Zuko - 1100 ~ Current (Defeated would-be Fire Lord Azula for the crown in an Agni Kai during her coronation)
