until 171 AG the organization operated through sleeper cells keeping their existence unknown to the world the Red Lotus agenda is to have the humans and spirits coexist again and usher in a new world order by dismantling the established nations and their leaders which they originally plan to do by releasing vaatu from his prison within the tree of time and later by assassinating world leaders and ending the Avatar cycle the only Red Lotus members who were publicly revealed as such were all powerful influential individuals the former chief unalaq the truth seer aiwei and a group of terrorists led by Zaheer the latter had been incarcerated for 13 years following a failed attempt to kidnap avatar Korra Zaheer managed to escape his imprisonment two weeks after harmonic convergence using airbending abilities he had acquired due to the planets energy shift and subsequently liberated his three associates they managed to send the earth Kingdom into chaos but failed to murder Korra resulting in the incarceration of Zaheer and the deaths of his three comrades nevertheless many members are believed to still be at large since the beginning of the insurrection the Red Lotus has

Lotus came out of hiding at the end of the hundred year war to serve the avatar in the world's nations chai Bao became disgusted with the Society's direction deeming the White Lotus as having reduced itself to merely the avatars bodyguards in order to preserve the way how he believed the order should have been he broke away and founded the Red Lotus to help liberate the world from the nation's influence in order to achieve that agenda they wanted to truly unify the world by reopening the spirit portals so humans and spirits would live together once more as one as well as by doing away with the nation borders and their leaders incarceration when still a teenager Zahir met chief unalaq after they had both joined the Red Lotus they learned about raava and vaatu the spirits of light and darkness and how avatar Wan had separated them bringing imbalance to the world which he according to the Red Lotus had only strengthened by dividing the physical and spiritual worlds the Red Lotus subsequently devised a plan to kidnap the avatar in order to reverse Juan's decision and teach her the ways of the Red Lotus as such Zaheer ghazan plea and ming-hua launched their plan to kidnap Korra a year after her status as the new avatar was confirmed but were unsuccessful due to the intervention of tonraq Tenzin chief Sokka and Fire Lord Zuko they were apprehended and detained in four maximum-security prisons scattered around the globe however Luna Locke had not come with his comrades that day and had thus managed to avoid being arrested he washed his hands of the incident and maintained his innocence by covering up his involvement in the kidnapping but began pursuing his own personal ambition to become the dark avatar something that the Red Lotus had not planned to do to further defuse any suspicions against him una Locke collaborated with Zuko to build a prison in the western Tundras of the North Pole to contain Polly as was the case with Polly the order of the White Lotus imprisoned ghazan and ming-hua in environments that would suppress their bending while Sahir was held in a remote mountaintop self constructed entirely out of metal the organization's lesser known agents such as aiwei remained at large and continued their operations in secret with the White Lotus successfully raising Korra the Red Lotus shifted plans instead of trying to convince the Avatar to join them in her adulthood they decided to capture and eventually kill her while she was in the Avatar state putting an end to the reincarnation cycle and further establish anarchy members of the White Lotus in chief Lin beifong of Republic City spent the next 13 years interrogating each member of the Red Lotus in order to determine the gangs motives but were ultimately unsuccessful escape shortly after the harmonic convergence of 171 AG Zaheer acquired airbending abilities which he used ambush the sentries outside of his cell when they came to bring him his daily ration of rice and escaped he promptly traveled to Gazans prison and used his disguised as a White Lotus sentry to come close enough to board the wooden ship while evading the attacks of the sentries he managed to provide the earthbender three pieces of Earth which ghazan promptly used to lava bend and break out of his wooden holding after having done away with all the sentries the two men greeted each other and Zahir explained that his abilities were a result of harmonic convergence which he saw as a sign that the group's path was righteous the two promptly headed to free their third associate Ming hua who was detained in a volcanic facility devoid of moisture after providing her with water to escape the three resolve to free plea from the Tundra's of the Northern Water Tribe prompting Lord Zuko to take action he and tonraq now the chief of the Southern Water Tribe headed to the North Pole to increase the security of police prison using a snowstorm conjured by Zaheer to act as cover the three made their way toward police prison in the western ice Tundra at the North Pole while Zaheer faced off with tonraq and ghazan kept Zuko busy Ming hua quickly defeated Chiefs Desna and Eska and drilled her way down to police underground cell where she incapacitated the two guards on duty and freed the combustion vendor resurfacing the two were immediately attacked by druk Zuko's dragon though Puli managed to redirect the flames and retaliate with a combustion beam of her own with the group complete ghazan and police swiftly defeated Zuko and tonraq before fleeing the scene trekking the avatar as part of their plan to find the avatar the for criminals traveled to Republic City and sought refuge in an apartment complex overrun by spirit vines Sahir shaved his head and infiltrated air Temple island under the guise of yirou in an attempt to determine Cora's whereabouts though his apparent knowledge of the air nomads culture and desire to meet the avatar aroused suspicion from Kia who realized his true identity after a short battle Zaheer managed to defeat kya and fled the island using a glider he had stolen from Tenzin's office after returning to base polly chastises a here for exposing himself on air temple island and compromising the group's whereabouts stating that the incident prompted the police to initiate a citywide manhunt for them in light of the recent event Kazan enquired whether the group would continue with their plan to attack president Reiko an operation which Zaheer decided to delay in order to focus on determining a method to leave the city to that end the group ambushed a truck driver who minghua threatened to smuggle them all out of the city undetected the truck driver attempted to drive out of the city via a bridge though by the time they got there the road had already been barricaded and every vehicle was being searched by the police anxious over the situation the driver wavered while questioned by the officers who forced him out of the vehicle as a result the truck driver fled the scene and left the police to open the back of the truck from where Zaheer launched a surprise airbending blast knocking the officers back and giving ming-hua enough time to gain control the wheel and begin driving out of the city the four were pursued by five police cars three of which were immediately blown up by police combustion beams in order to halt the remaining officers ghazan turned a section of the road into lava which allowed the four to successfully escape the group temporarily camped in a forest outside of the city where ghazan ming-hua and polly discussed how to find the avatar while Zaheer meditated the waterbender expressed her regret over not having taken a police officer to interrogate for Cora's whereabouts but police simply reassured the two that they would find the avatar in due time shortly after Zaheer opened his eyes and announced that Korra was in xiaofu with the metal clan attempting to capture the avatar with the aid of aiwei the Red Lotus infiltrated zaofu under the cover of darkness managing to capture the avatar by sedating her in Naga with sure Xiu spit darts their escape did not go unnoticed however as Pabu alerted Mako and Bolin who subsequently attacked the Red Lotus and drew attention to the group's presence the foursome was soon surrounded by members of the metal clan who used their metal bending to box them in between metal plates however ghazan used his own skill to free themselves by creating a lava moat forcing a stalemate between the two groups eventually bolin managed to block poochie's Chie by striking her third eye with a pebble while Lynn and suyin beifong dropped in from above on cables and rescued korra Zaheer attempted to recapture the avatar but was thwarted by suyun who pierced the wing of his glider with metal shards forcing him to make a crash landing near the rest of his team realizing their attempt to kidnap Korra failed Zaheer created an air dome to cover their escape pursuit of Korra the Red Lotus later made camp in a cave not too far from the misty Palms Oasis and contacted I way to meet Zaheer at Shabazz Grove at sundown in the spirit world Zaheer confronted I way over what had happened at South foo blaming the truth seer for the debacle and accused him of having left loose ends although aiwei assured the Airbender that there was no evidence left linking back to the Red Lotus Zaheer deemed a way himself to be a liability and subsequently threw his soul into the fog of lost souls afterward he returned to Jabez Grove to have a conversation with Korra who had followed eye way there while secretly alerting his friends back in the physical world that Korra was at an inn in the misty Palms Oasis he distracted her by telling her about the origins the Red Lotus and how unalaq had engineered their first attempt to kidnap her while Polly remained behind to guard Zaheer's body mind is an traveled to the village to retrieve Korra before they could locate the room she was in a saw me carrying Korra while riding Naga made a break for it while Mako and Bolin instigated a fight with Ming Juan ghazan eventually ming-hua managed to gain the upper hand against Mako throwing him into a door and rendering him unconscious as Bolin tried to avoid the burning lava bent by ghazan by jumping into the inn's pool meanwhile water bent a sphere of water around him effectively trapping him while holding the two brothers aloft she told ghazan to pursue Korra before he could get to her however earth Queen how Tings troops captured Asami and Korra to bring them back to Ba Sing se with Mako and Bolin in tow the two returned to plea and Zaheer the latter promptly informed them to load the brothers onto the truck and prepare to head to the earth Kingdom capital taking down the earth Queen while enroute to Ba Sing se ghazan and ming-hua guarded the bound up brothers in the back of the truck while Zaheer drove with police sitting next to him with nothing else to do before in the back engaged in conversation although Ming Juan ghazan deflected Makos inquiries about their plans they humored Bolin by answering his questions in regards to their time in prison the questioning was cut short however as Zaheer ordered ghazan to gag the brothers pending their arrival at the earth Kingdom capital inside the palace the four an audience with earth Queen how ting by baiting her with information about her airbenders Zaheer managed to strike a deal with the Queen information about the airbenders in return for the avatar as the avatars imprisonment in the earth Kingdom would lead to a world war the Red Lotus was escorted to awake Cora's arrival in the earth Kingdom Royal Palaces antechamber noticing a Dai Li agents swiftly passed by their chamber Zaheer followed him sneaking into the throne room where he overheard that the Queen's ship with Korra aboard had crashed in the SI Wong desert deciding to take matters into their own hands the team barged into the throne room resulting in a fight with the Dai Li after quickly defeating the earthbenders Zaheer confronted and suffocated the Queen with his airbending while ghazan was sent towards the city walls the other three made their way to the Capitals communications room in order for Zaheer to make a citywide announcement of the fall of how tangs regime as the Red Lotus leaders stated that he delivered Ba Sing se back into the hands of the people ghazan used his lava bending to bring down the internal walls separating the three rings bringing forth a chaotic plundering horde afterwards a here went to the palaces prison where he released all the inmates before freeing Mako and Bolin he gave them a message to be delivered to Korra and promptly took an airship toward the northern air temple northern air temple ambush arriving at the northern air temple ghazan ming Kwanza he rounded up all the inhabitants while police stayed aboard the airship to control the situation from above they intended to use the air nation as leverage to get to Korra though when Tenzin figured that out the airbending master promptly attacked them giving the airbenders a chance to escape while polly focused on the escapees managing to shoot guy out of the sky and corner the others at the flying bison stables Zaheer faced off against Tenzin while minghua took on Kia leaving ghazan to battle Bumi although Kia and Bumi each managed to get some hits in they eventually had to acknowledge the superiority of their opponents when they teamed up against them and managed to knock them off the balcony although Bumi had managed to save themselves from plunging to death they became the perfect target for police combustion attack her attack missed however as Kia convinced her brother to let them fall effectively evading the blast at the last minute meanwhile Zaheer had trouble keeping up with the airbending master who managed to evade all his counter blows in land many of his own however the tables turned when Polly landed an attack bringing Tenzin down within striking range of ming-hua and ghazan although it was now four against one Tenzin refused to give up stating he would never let the Red Lotus get to the avatar as long as he was breathing prompting the three members on the ground to relentlessly barrage him with their respective elements defeat Korra contacted Zaheer over the radio from the metal clans airship explaining she would surrender herself so long as they here freed the airbenders Zaheer instructed Korra to meet him on top of laghima's peak Korra used her glider to meet Zaheer while Lyn soohyun the metal clan guards and tonraq scaled the side of the mountain ready to ambush Zaheer meanwhile bolin Asami and Mako were working to rescue the airbenders while Zaheer was distracted however Zaheer had deceived Korra yet again he had already moved all the airbenders safe for Tenzin to a mountainside hideout while ming-hua used waterbending to make water dummies and Airbender robes when the deception was revealed ghazan and ming-hua left Mako Bolin Asami and Tenzin to die as lava slowly destroyed the northern air temple meanwhile Korra while chained with platinum cuffs resisted Zaheer as the metal clan engaged Polli ton rock assisted his daughter too but was thrown from a cliff by Zaheer Lin subsequently acted as a distraction for pulley as soo Yun metal bent her chest plate around police head before she could fire confining the explosion to her head and killing her however the death of Polly allowed Zaheer to unlock the unique airbending ability to fly by letting go of his earthly tether and escape the battle carrying an unconscious Korra the Red Lotus took the avatar to their mountainside hideout where they plan to use mercury to poison Korra and force her into the Avatar state after which they would kill her and end the reincarnation cycle of the avatar forever but when Korra entered the Avatar state she was able to break free of her chains and engages I here in an aerial battle meanwhile team avatar discovered the hideout with the help of Chi and freed the captured airbenders before engaging the remaining members of the Red Lotus Mako and Bolin fought Ming Juan ghazan respectively and after a short battle Mako managed to electrocute meanwhile with lightning before going back to help his brother overwhelm ghazan refusing to be taken back to prison the lavabender bent the cave down on himself in an effort to kill Mako and Bolin but both brothers were able to escape meanwhile Carranza here battled in the sky above the air nomads caves where the duel went and Zaheer's favored due to Cora's inhibited abilities after suffering several bad Falls as well as the continued effects of the poison Cora collapsed on a nearby plateau which allowed Zahir to apply the asphyxiation technique he had previously used to kill the earth Queen however the freed airbenders under generous Direction created a tornado under Zahir in kora which allowed Cora to force' here toward the earth and defeat him the beifong sisters promptly restrained Zaheer in an earth shell as it seemed that korres had come to the poison Jinora revealed that the poison was metallic in nature and thus prompted suyun to bend the poison out of Cora's body saving her despite the deaths of Polly ming-hua and ghazan as well as Sahir's incarceration the remaining Red Lotus leaders and sentries had returned into hiding and still remain at large with no way of knowing how many are out there in addition
