Phoenix King

Phoenix King is a term given to a person who masters the Phoenix stance. It is a stance created by Augustus Balthalzar and was later rediscovered by a descendant of his, Maximus Mercantos. They are the only two in history to ever bear the title of Phoenix King."'The wings of fire meant only one thing; he was the Phoenix King.'"Once one has mastered the Phoenix stance, wings of fire 6-8 ft. long will grow from the shaman's shoulders as they soar in the skies. It signifies the speeds and power of the shaman, and becomes uncontrollable while fighting in Phoenix stance. However once mastered, the shaman will have complete control over his/her wings while not fighting in Phoenix stance.

History
The title Phoenix King originally referred to Augustus Balthalzar, the 19th Avatar and original master of Phoenix stance. The title holds great power in the Fire Nation, although is infamously known throughout the rest of the world. Most who are not of the Fire Nation equate the name Phoenix King to genocide, as that is what came from the reign of the 1st Phoenix King. Tens of millions of people were killed at the commands of the Phoenix King.

After the war was over the Augustus was killed, he would be forever known in the history books as the Adolf Hitler of Sylos. Only the people of the Fire Nation denied such a thing, and remembered him for the prosperity and power he brought the nation.
