Toz (Earth-5291)

"All the warlords were cruel and ruthless, but worst of them was a brute named Toz. Feast or famine, Toz demanded annual tributes from all the villages in his territory."

- - Ino Yamana reading about Toz on a historical scroll

Toz (斗的) was an infamous warlord in the Fire Lands, infamous for demanding annual tribates for all villages he controlled in trade of their citizens' lives. His regime soon collapsed shortly after the emergence of the Kemurikage.

Biography
Toz lived centuries before the formation of the Land of Fire in the dispersed Fire Lands, where he became one of its most feared warlords. He fought against other warlords for land and eventually amassed a sizeable territory consisting of many villages. He then decreed an annual tribute from all villages under his control, even in times of famine, and threatened them with death.

One year, one of the villages under his control refused to provide Toz with tribute, leading him to kill all of the village's children as punishment, leading the mothers of the children to later die from sadness. Shortly after, the Kemurikage emerged, and began haunting Toz and his men, drifted into the warlord's encampment in the middle of the night and taking all of their children. As a result, Toz's men abandoned him out of fear for the dark spirits, leading his regime to collapse.
