History Hinoken was born into the powerful and corrupt Hitochi family of the Fire Nation. As the Hitochi family is matriarchal in nature it was his sister that would inherit the family's wealth and power. At a young age Hinoken was given the finest education and witnessed his family's travesties first hand, giving an unusual insight into the world. When Hinoken was 7 he firebended a burst of flame when mimicking the movements his father was using for the Hitochi Family Firebending Forms. His father was ecstatic and began to train his son in the use of firebending. Hinoken also took an interest in swordplay as a child after handling his father's katana. And conviced his father to hire an instructor for this purpose. As Hinoken grew older and his penchant for kindness grew his parents took steps to hide their more illegal activities from him in case he became a traitor. When Hinoken was 17 he became a part of the of the local police forces, despite his parents' protest. And when he was 23 he heard of his mother's death and of many investigations into the family had uncovered many of the dark secrets the Hitochi family had been hiding. In order to prove his allegiance to justice, he told the police what he knew and helped with the arrests. Afterwords the rest of the family began sending assassins after him, though he could not prove it was the Hitochi family who orchestrated the two assassination attempts he knew they would not stop. So Hinoken decided to leave the fire nation to go to Republic City in an attempt to redeem his self and his family name.
