Honestly, I think there will be a flashback where it will be a Red Wedding scenario where Aang and Sokka are killed, but Katara and Zuko survive it. Zuko seems to be incredibly invested in this, to where it would make sense if these people killed Aang. It also makes sense why they'd keep these incredibly dangerous people alive since Aang would never approve of their execution, and they'd keep them alive simply for his wishes. The level of security they show a non-bender shows that this guy is pretty much the ultimate badass, and he's obviously well versed in airbending. I feel sure this guy was Aang's apprentice next to Tenzin, and we'll see some good stuff from him. I'd love to see an Airbender on Airbender fight, and I think we're about to get it.

I'm kind of confused how the main bad guy, who just picked up airbending within a week has been able to take out earth bending and fire bending soldiers by himself with little to no training.

You're theory about him being the apprentice to Aang with Tenzin is interesting but where is it coming from? He had no bending powers so why would they train a normal guy in air bending when he has no poweR?

I'm thinking the soldiers aren't used to fighting air benders since they haven't been around in a 100+ years but it still seems odd he is that advanced of a bender with no training and barely having the powers longer than a week
