6. History : Parents: Soga and Aisha (deceased) raised by grandparents Thubten (Sr) and Soza.Former fire nation army, Thubten was raised on a farm located in the heart of the Earth kingdom, his grandfather having moved there after the war.

Thubten (or Ten) has always had a taste for combat, his grandfather imparted strict discipline and rules into him from a young age giving him a strong sense of right and wrong. When a roaming group of freedom fighters or (as his grandfather called them) barbarians attacked a nearby farm, he more than willingly took up arms against them. They quickly overpowered him and when all seemed lost, his grandfather struck. Ten could not believe his eyes, the man who wouldn't even consume meat and was willing to turn a blind eye for the sake of peace was now fighting. His bending, which had only ever been used ceremonially for nearly 60 years, was now like the unrivaled rage of a dragon.

When all the ash and dust had settled, Ten knew what he had to do. He knew nothing of the world, like a fool, he had chained it to his own childish perceptions. There was more to it than he had ever imagined. That night, he spoke to his grandfather and told him he would leave the farm for a while to discover himself and try to comprehend even the smallest iota of the real world.

Upon learning this, his grandfather told him of an anceint family secret. His name, Thubten, had been handed down from his grandfather who was an air nomad monk (non bender) who had escaped the fire invasion and blended into the Fire nation itself. He gave thubten an amulet, said to once belong to the original Monk Thubten (a great air bending guru) and sent him on his way with blessing.
