During the Siege of Ba Sing Se, where Iroh was the general in command, Lu Ten died in battle. Iroh appeared to have had a close relationship with his son Lu Ten, as they loved to play together during the latter's childhood. " My beloved Lu Ten, I will see you again." ― Iroh remembering Lu Ten during a flashback. Despite all of this, it would appear that Iroh sympathized with Azula's madness and he even encouraged her role in the search for Ursa one year later, helping Team Avatar to accept her by pointing out that finding Ursa could perhaps bring peace to her as well, showing his care for Azula was not completely gone. It was he who urged Zuko to face her one final time in order to claim his rightful title as Fire Lord. Iroh consistently advised Zuko not to give in to her deceit and selfish demands. During a later encounter, Azula severely wounded Iroh with a blast of fire. He did attempt to speak courteously toward her after having not seen her for a long time however, she did not seem to return the favor kindly and insisted he be silent while she spoke to Zuko. Iroh once stated that Azula was "crazy and to go down" (these words were oddly prophetic as Azula suffered a mental breakdown and was eventually defeated while she was in this condition). While Iroh seemingly cared for Azula when she was little, as seen when he sent her a doll from the Siege of Ba Sing Se, that attachment deteriorated. Little is known about Iroh's relationship with his niece Azula. " She's crazy, and she needs to go down." ― Iroh speaking to Zuko about Azula.
