Bio: Zhao was born in Republic City to a small family of firebenders. His family owned and operated a small street restaurant, using their control of fire to get the perfect cook on their food. Growing up Zhao had enough, but was by no means 'well off' and took to running with some rough alley gangs. At the same time he went to school and learnt to cook with his father and mother. When Zhao was 18 his parents finally cracked down on his illegal activities and handed him over to the city's police, in an attempt to turn him from a dark path. It seemed to do the trick and after six months spent in prison, less time thanks to some informing and good behaviour, Zhao was released. Since then he has gone back to working at the restaurant and spends his free time practicing his firebending at the Fire Temple, which his parents encourage as it teaches him to avoid the life of crime. Zhao recently shown a great deal of skill with his bending and has come to the attention of the police as a new poster boy, criminal turned officer. Though Zhao has resisted the advances. Zhao is now 22.
