In 158 AG, Ghazan joined Zaheer, Ming-Hua, and P'Li in attempting to kidnap the new Avatar, Korra, but they were defeated by Tonraq, Fire Lord Zuko, Tenzin, and Chief Sokka. Ghazan was confined in a wooden cell on a wooden platform in the middle of the ocean, effectively cutting off his access to any sources of earth. During his imprisonment, he entertained himself by renaming the constellations and even considered rain a "big event".
