Arkan

Arkan was the Fire Lord from the time of the Reformed Black Wings' defeat to the current era. He was the second son of his family, with an older brother, Oberyn, and another unknown brother. Arkan was known as a master firebender, a feared threat in battle. It was he who initiated the Crimson Festival and brought about the conflict of the Riverlands Rebellion, turning against the Earth Kingdom and the Water Dominion to commence one of the bloodiest wars the world had ever seen.

Crimson Festival
For months or even years preceding the event, Fire Lord Arkan, along with his subordinates, secretive allies and royal family, plotted out the vengeful murder of the Water Dominion royalty - Warden Aurick's regime, as payback for the betrayal the Fire Nation suffered at their hands nearly a decade before. Every fine detail of the scheme was meticulously planned beforehand, and waterbenders native to the Riverlands were employed to take the places of the guards who normally protected the Warden. With everything set into motion, it was only a matter of time until it took place. The Fire Lord, upon receiving the invitation to the festival in honor of the founding of the nation, set off for the Dominion, but not before spies intercepted and burned the ones destined for the others around the world.

When the Fire Lord arrived, Arkan feigned confusion at the no-show of the other royals who had received letters, knowing full well that they would never come. The festival and dinner continued without them, and Arkan's family dined with Aurick's, beneath the watchful eye of the infiltrated guard. When the chance arose, and the armor beneath Arkan's robes was spotted by the Warden's wife, the Fire Lord and his men struck. The entire family was slaughtered, including the children, and unborn baby. Aurick himself was killed by Arkan, with brutal repeated stabs to the heart with a knife.

Meanwhile, the city was set ablaze, and the partying, unprepared army of the Dominion, as well as its commanders, were brutally murdered in an onslaught that was witnessed by one simple Air Nation monk, who reported the events immediately back to the Air Elder after narrowly escaping above the wall from the frenzy. The Fire Lord and all others involved in the atrocious killings retreated back to the Fire Nation, prepared for an easy war. The Air Nation, and new Riverlands rebellion soon joined forces in an alliance, creating an indomitable pact between the three. The Fire Nation soon entered war as well against the Earth Kingdom and Thunder Empire, with their support for the Riverlands.

The only remaining survivor of the Water Dominion royalty was the young Aurelius, who went into hiding after what came to be known as the Crimson Festival.
