Dai Li

Officially, as representatives of the Cultural Authority of Ba Sing Se, the Dai Li are charged with maintaining the history and traditions of Ba Sing Se among the citizenry. Unofficially they operate as a secret police force led by Long Feng. Since talking about the war with the Fire Nation is against the law in Ba Sing Se, the Dai Li keep a close watch on all refugees and new immigrants to the city, disappearing anyone who dares to break the code of silence. Master Earthbenders, they can easily take down anyone who dares to oppose them openly. Because they are selected and trained by Long Feng from such a young age, their allegiance lies solely with him, and they will attack any target he selects, even the Earth King himself.
