So we know that Dante Basco makes at least two appearances, playing a character who is connected in some way with Zuko. One of these episodes is called "Skeleton in the Closet".

I am wondering, given the main conflict in the series is between benders and non-benders, if the skeleton in question is non-bender(s) in the Fire Nation royal family, either a branch that is hushed up, or possibly a lack of bending heirs all together.

Oh, were there more ep titles somewhere? I missed that. Link?

Maybe it's just Old Zuko moping in a closet because Old Azula is still better than him at everything. But in all seriousness, it would be interesting if the there was no bending heir. I always wondered if the Fire Lord absolutely has to be a bender.

The show did present a general atmosphere that suggested the Fire Lord usually has to be a bender, with the "superior element" talk, the idea that taking away Ozai's bending is enough to neutralize any threat he presents, how Zuko automatically was presumed to suck because he was less good at bending that Azula, etc. If any nation is going to insist on a bending ruler, it'll be the FN. Which makes me wonder if FN people will be presented as having a different attitude to the anti-bending revolt than people from nations where bending wasn't emphasized that much.

It took me well over a minute of staring at your icon to realize that he wasn't going to turn around if I just waited long enough.

My spouse theorized that Mr. Anti-Bender Leader Mask is a non-bender child of someone. Like a certain Fire Lord...
