He could possibly be the villain who killed the Ka-sibling's mother. The fact that they briefly mention him in the 1st episode in passing conversation that appears unimportant and inessential to the plot, but reference him again in a latter episode, makes me think these two seemingly irrelevant moments might be foreshadowing something.

Don't forget this show has been littered with moments that seem inconsequencial but are brought back with deep ramifications. The library mentioned by Zhao, the poster in The Runaway that advertises The EIP, the pregnant couple Zuko encounters, the first time we saw the cabbage guy, etc.
