A great friend of Hakoda (a.k.a. Sokka and Katara’s father), Bato is resourceful, and apparently not alienated with the siblings. When he leads the trio into a discussion of the years pre-post the year of Hakoda’s departure from the Southernn Water Tribe, it is evident Bato and Hakoda were close friends.
When he discovers the siblings never had his ‘right of passage’ a ritual when one turns 14, he volunteers to hold the ceremony for them. By this action, we can assume he deems them as family.
On a mission with Hakoda and the crew, Bato is left behind due to his injuries. Towards the end of the episode, he sets out to reunite with the group. He is known to stay in the background in disputes, unbiased and composed, he is a true water tribesmen.
Bato rejoined his fellow warriors at the Rendezous point in the Eastern Earth Kingdom. Since then, he has been helping out Hakoda and his men with strategy planning and carrying stuff. He is seen with Hakoda in "The Guru" when Sokka comes in. It is unknown if he can still fight at full strength yet, as he is still seen to have severe scarring, but he may be just taking it like a man.
