Brief History: Shi and Sha Zhao begin to make a life together with the birth of their son Yanshi. Yanshi begins life pretty well in Ba Sing Se until the Regent Lord began gathering up people for his army against Fire Lord Owlan. Sha does not understand why her husband Shi has to help the Regent Lord, and opposes his decision to help him. Shi heads off to war anyways and comes back a different man, he has turned to drinking, dicing, and abuse. Sha and Yanshi are beaten almost every night because of Shi's druken rages. This starts to shape Yanshi's character, he feared for his and his mother's life almost everyday, and wanted to be nothing like his father. This leads to Sha running away with Yanshi one night to no where in particular. They eventually run into a group of nomads who they would roam around with for awhile.
One of the nomads tries to sexually assault Yanshi's mother one night when Yanshi was out hunting. Sha fought back but was killed because of her “disobedience” by the nomad. Yanshi returns to their camp to find her mother dead and the nomad gone. He has now set out for the group of nomads, and has practiced his earthbending and found his pet fox antelope, Moot. He practiced his earthbending mainly with sand, and has developed his signature weapon of his sand claws, which are sharp claws made out of sand on the end of each finger. His searches and information has lead him to believe that the nomads are now a part of Ullondor, which Yanshi has began to despise and hate. In the present time Yanshi is trying to figure out more about the nomads, and believes that his father had probably died off too.
