Tsu'tey, a prominent character from the film *Avatar* (2009), is a skilled and respected Na'vi warrior. He serves as the leader of the Omatikaya clan's hunters and warriors, holding a position of significant authority within the community. Prior to Jake Sully's arrival, Tsu'tey was destined to become the next Olo'eyktan (clan leader), assuming he was chosen by Neytiri.

Fiercely loyal to his clan and their traditions, Tsu'tey initially views Jake Sully with suspicion and hostility. He resents Jake's presence and his growing connection with Neytiri. However, after witnessing Jake's bravery and understanding of the Na'vi ways, Tsu'tey gradually accepts him and even acknowledges him as a brother. He plays a crucial role in the final battle against the RDA (Resources Development Administration), fighting valiantly to protect Pandora.

During the final battle, Tsu'tey is mortally wounded. Recognizing Jake as the new leader and accepting the inevitability of his death, he asks Jake to kill him swiftly, so he can die a warrior's death and join Eywa. This act highlights Tsu'tey's honor, strength, and dedication to his people, marking a turning point in Jake's acceptance as part of the Omatikaya clan.
