Avatar: What Happened To Zuko's Mother In The Last Airbender
Avatar: The Last Airbender's Prince Zuko lost his mother when he was just a child and she is presumed dead, but the tie-in comics tell the story of exactly why she disappeared and where she has been.

Over time, however, Zuko redeems himself and ultimately fights alongside Aang to defeat his father, Fire Lord Ozai.

However, at the end of Avatar: The Last Airbender, the young Fire Prince confronts his father in jail, demanding to know anything about what really happened to Zuko's mother.
