Private History:

Mr Li, whose current title is almost certainly a pseudonym, began life as the eldest son of a family of Earth Nation airbenders who traced their abilities back to the time of Avatar Korra and the re-emergence of spirits into the world. The province in which they lived had not changed significantly since that time, and without great importance to anyone in particular it had felt the ravages of time more keenly than most. As their home crumbled around them, Li and his younger brother struck out into the wide world; determined to find their luck, or if need be, make it for themselves. Luck did not favor them, however, and it was precisely at this time that a simmering dispute between two regions of the Earth Nation finally erupted into all our war. As two unemployed young men, Li and his brother soon found themselves serving at the front of a brutal civil war, and by its end only one emerged from the fighting. When he heard of his brothers' death, caused by a hopeless charge against a fortified enemy position, Li swore vengeance. Yet, he had nowhere to go, and as with all wars the veterans of this one were soon cast aside and forced to fend for themselves.

By chance, his former commanding officer heard of Li's trouble, and although he found him a little odd, decided that his manner and diligence could suit his purposes. The officer offered his old comrade a position as a manservant in his household, promising to provide for him and his kin indefinitely. With nowhere else to turn, Li accepted the offer, and spent nearly twenty years in that capacity, gratefully working for the man who had essentially given him a new life. For the first time he became proud of his work, a professional, and the trauma of war began to fade from his life. The officer even taught Li how to write, as he had never had a real education, and soon he was reading all manner of books, and even corresponding with others who had shared his experiences on the battlefield. As much as this opened doors for Mr Li, it also closed perhaps the biggest of them, and within twenty four hours of one particular letter arriving, the officer was dead and his murderer on the way to Republic City. No one suspected the butler, and now Mr Li is looking for work wherever he can find it.
