Zaheer

Zaheer is one of the main antagonists of The Legend of Korra, the sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender. He is the main antagonist of Book Three: Change and a minor character in Book Four: Balance.
He is the leader of the Red Lotus who strongly believes in the foundation of a new world without the Order of the White Lotus, the four nations, or the Avatar. After the Harmonic Convergence of 171 AG, he also became an airbender and, after having let go of his final earthly tether, he unlocked the ability of flight, becoming the second person ever to have done so.
The Red Lotus left in their pursuit of Korra, who was now an adult and planned to kill her in the Avatar State. 
However, Zaheer was defeated by Korra's close friend and surrogate sister, Jinora and her escaped Airbenders, apprehended by Suyin and Lin. Bolin ended up stuffing his sock into Zaheer's mouth, silencing him. Three years later he helped Avatar Korra get over her fear of him and reconnect with the spirit world after Toph Beifong found traces of the Red Lotus poison in Korra's bloodstream, thus helping her find a away to defeat Kuvira.
