After several years of incarceration, Zaheer appears to have made peace with his imprisonment, and is almost completely civil to Korra when she visits him in prison in Book Four. When his plans are foiled, he angrily rants that the Red Lotus' mission cannot be stopped before being imprisoned once again. Nearing the end of the season, Zaheer drops his pleasantries as he threatens the entire new Air Nation with extinction, and becomes far more malevolent when dealing with his enemies or captives. Zaheer's character develops over the course of Book Three, as his well-intentioned and pleasant persona begins to fade as the search for Korra becomes increasingly drawn out and fruitless. Before attaining the power of air, Zaheer became notorious for not only his proficiency in martial arts but his ability to charm or manipulate people with his words, making him just as dangerous as his bender cohorts.ĭespite his benevolent character traits, Zaheer remains an antagonist seeking to assassinate world leaders. Zaheer is depicted as having a loving relationship with his girlfriend P'Li, who he personally saved from subjugation at the hands of an unknown warlord, and enjoys a strong friendship with fellow Red Lotus members Ming Hua and Ghazan. He genuinely believes that he is leading a revolution that will bring equality to the masses, much like Amon, and is seen hesitating to truly use lethal force unless otherwise necessary to his goals. Rather, he desires freedom for all, be they human or spirit. In a contrast to previous antagonists, Zaheer is portrayed as a much more sympathetic villain, as he does not desire conquest or oppression. Zaheer quickly puts his skills to use two weeks after attaining them, as he is a prolific leader of the Order of the Red Lotus, a group of militant anarchists seeking to abolish the world leaders, putting him in conflict with Korra and her allies, many of whom are world leaders themselves. However, he attained the power of Airbending shortly after the Harmonic Convergence at the end of Book Two: Spirits, quickly becoming proficient with the element. Like the ability to bend, this seems to be something that one cannot just learn without having the ability beforehand.Zaheer was born a non-bender, a person who does not possess the ability to telekinetically manipulate one of the classical elements, in a world in which many people possess such abilities. Tenzin has studied everything available, but just doesn't have the connection to the spirits that Aang, Jinora, Korra or even Unalaq have. This is an instance of doing everything one can to be prepared academically, but not having the innate abilities or skill. Perhaps I will never have the connections with spirits like I always wanted.
If everyone could just be quiet and let me focus. I've spent years training, studying, and mastering everything there is to know about the Spirit World. Jinora will not enter the Spirit World! She's not ready for the dangers of the other side, but I am. I think Jinora was meant to guide the Avatar. Maybe you weren't meant to guide Korra into the Spirit World.
