The first thing you have to understand is that the cabbages weren't just vegetables to him. Of course he recognized that they were nutritious and delicious in all of their leafy goodness but they were far more. The cabbage were precious, every round head every curled stalk and every single crinkled leaf. The cabbages were his life.
So it was understandable that he was more than a little upset when the Avatar first flew into his life in a spinning whirlwind of destruction. Quite literally. He was left with a crushed cart and his beautiful cabbages crushed to goo, while the Avatar breezed by.
He had clenched his teeth and replaced his cart and cabbages. Then it had happened again, and again, and again. And again.
Every time it did he would scream and jump from one leg to the other shaking his fists at the Avatar and his friends and every time they would pay no attention to his hysterics as they scampered off. The last time had been particular painful, he had morned his fallen cabbages for months. Then he had wiped the tears from his eyes and the snot from his nose and had started to plot his revenge.
The first step was to find an ally, a sidekick of sorts. He needed a minion.
After an extensive interviewing process he decided on Pao. Pao had no special skills to speak of and it was abundantly clear after only a brief conversation that he was neither overly intelligent or very verbally adapt. However the smallest mention of the Avatar had sent Pao into crazed convulsions and massive foaming at the mouth. The foaming caused quite a slippery mess but he liked the dedication such passion showed.
He would have to be careful. He had not faced an opponent since his most epic struggle against the mighty and terrible cabbage slugs. Their slimy trails of death and razor sharp teeth had almost annihilated him but in the end he had triumphed. This battle would be no different. Revenge will be his! The Avatar won't know what hit him.
And so the cabbage merchant sat from atop his throne of green leafy cabbage and alternated rubbing his hands together and stroking his goatee as he laughed most evilly.
Behind him his newly acquired minion succumbed to hysterics sinking to the floor, all the while foaming at the mouth.
