Who is the leader of the Red Lotus?

The leader of the Red Lotus is Zaheer. He is the group's most prominent strategist and spokesperson, and he becomes the central antagonist of Book 3: Change in The Legend of Korra.

The Red Lotus is an anarchist organization that opposes governments, monarchies, and imposed social order. Zaheer originally had no bending, but after Harmonic Convergence he unexpectedly becomes an airbender. He quickly develops extraordinary skill, combining airbending with his philosophical commitment to freedom from political authority.

Zaheer and the Red Lotus seek to destabilize the world's leaders, including the Earth Queen and the new Avatar. His companions include P'Li, a combustionbender; Ghazan, a lavabender; and Ming-Hua, a highly capable waterbender. P'Li is a powerful member and Zaheer's partner, but she is not the group's leader. Amon belongs to the Equalists, while Unalaq is associated with Book 2 and the dark spirit Vaatu.
