[edit] History

At the age of eight, The Duke is the youngest and smallest of the Freedom Fighters. Jet and the others came across The Duke when they caught him trying to steal food from their camp. According to Jet, the Duke never really had a home, indicating he too was probably orphaned at a very young age by the Fire Nation.

Constant companion to Pipsqueak, the duo originally appeared in the episode "Jet" as guerrillas assisting Jet in the fight against the Fire Nation occupation of Gaipan. After Aang, Katara, and Sokka defeated Jet's plan to destroy the village with a flood, the Duke and Pipsqueak lost faith in their once idolized leader and parted ways with the Freedom Fighters. They then traveled through the Earth Kingdom, stealing to eat and struggling to survive. The two eventually came across Hakoda's ship one night and attempted to raid it, but were caught in the act and captured. After hearing their story, Sokka and Katara welcomed Pipsqueak and The Duke to join their makeshift invasion force.

Duke and Pipsqueak are not seen again until the book three episode "The Awakening," where they had joined Sokka, Katara, and Toph in their plan to invade the Fire Nation on the day of a solar eclipse. However the duo does make an appearance in "The Bridge," a canonical interlude comic featured within the second All-Avatar Nick Mag Presents edition. They can briefly be seen playfully mopping up the ship in one scene and donning their Fire Nation outfits in another.

The Duke and Pipsqueak returned with Hakoda and the others the day of the invasion. The Duke easily gets along with Toph, offering his helmet when Toph gets nauseous. The Duke and Pipsqueak fought when they landed on the Fire Nation Capital shores. When the submarines were destroyed, the warriors decided to surrender. The young people (Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Teo, The Duke, and Haru) were put on Appa and sent away. The Duke is temporarily part of Aang's group. They have arrived at the Western Air Temple, where The Duke, Haru, and Teo are exploring the Temple's many surprises together. The two friends often refer to him incorrectly as just "Duke".

When the Fire Nation attacked the Western Air Temple in "The Southern Raiders", the gang was forced to abandon the site. The Duke has now separated from Aang's group as now he and his friends have fled the temple with Hakoda.

After the War ends, The Duke returns to the Fire Nation and reunites with Pipsqueak and hugs Toph.
