Voiced By Paul McKinney

Ghashiun is a desert dweller and Sandbender who resides within the Si Wong Desert and is the son of Sha-Mo. Ghashiun is an adolescent who normally spends his days riding around the Si Wong on his sand-sailor with his gang of friends, usually getting into trouble and stealing anything that isn't well guarded.

[edit] History

Ghashiun with his father

Since his mother, Yulduz, died of skin cancer (a common affliction in the sun-drenched Si Wong), Ghashiun has been somewhat adrift emotionally. Unfortunately, his relationship with his father is distant at best, and Ghashiun's lying and stealing only compound the rift. Ghashiun is the one responsible for kidnapping Appa outside Wan Shi Tong's Library. He traded the bison to some merchants who took him to Ba-Sing-Se, though he later regretted this when confronted with the fury of the Avatar.

When Ghashuin and his tribe ran into the Avatar, Toph immediately recognized Ghashuin as Appa's kidnapper, and Aang unleashed his fury on the Sandbenders by demolishing their Sand-sailors. Desperate to avoid being killed, Ghashuin confessed his crime and offered to provide the gang safe passage through the desert. He and his tribe barely survive Aang's rampage when he enters the Avatar State, but luckily Katara intervened and Aang exited the Avatar State.
