Who do you think Aman is?

Its very logical question. He cannot be Ozai, because Ozai was older than Aang, and logical he died before Aang. (and Aang already is dead). He should be however around Tenzin age. Further more, if you remember in 4th episode when they arrested the guys training secretly chi blocking techniques, it was his picture there... Obviously he is the master in chi blocking techniques. Also he confess that his parents aren't benders. The answer is quite simple after answering the following question: "Who was chi blocking master when Aang was a child - of 100 years - when the action in 3rd book was?" and the answer is Ty Lee. So he could be the son of Ty Lee. We know that she was the best chi blocking master, even tought suki and the rest of the girls... We know she had a bad side, and she wasn't a bender. Probably her husband wasn't a bender too. So there is the answer it could only be Ty lee's son!

Well considering that Fire Lord Ozai was roughly in his late 30's to early 40's and that the legend of Korra is set 70 years after the events of book 3 I would say it highly unlikely that he is Amon, cause he should be dead right about now, plus Amon states that he is a non-bender born to a family of non-benders, so he really couldn't in any way shape or form be Ozai

Get a load of this
'The reason why is when aang died the first time when Azula killed him the avatar was reincarnated into amon but when katara healed him with that special water amon was not born with bending but born with the spirit part because the avatar came back alive and the spirit part of the avatar allows you to go to the avatar state and allows you to take bending away so when the avatar died the second time from old age korra was born with bending powers and very very very little spirit because of this ' by anewrev 1337

At the beginning I didn't want Amon to be related to anyone, I wanted him to have his own story, but after I read 'this' I thought I was an interesting theory.

It kinda make sense, when Korra got shocked by Amon she had a vision of Aang, I was thinking its probably because somehow Korra and Amon are the reincarnation of Aang.
then again Korra was shocked in the episode 'and the winner is....' by Amon right hand man and she still had another vision of Aang, so the visions can't prove anything .

But I love this theory better.

Who ever it is; he has not only knowledge of chi blocking but of the spiritual plane. He did not talk to spirits but probably a guru spiritualist. He learned about how to open and seal the third eye. The spiritual side of bending. Thats why he puts his thumb on the middle of their forehead, third eye. It's like how Iroh invented how to redirect ligtning and combustion man (he actually had the third eye painted on his head), by exploring all sides ofelements like what aang did with the guru. Since most of the people in republic sity only think of bending as physical; they don't realize amon is using the third eye. So Korra who has always been weak against the spiritual side of bending won't be able use bending when he seals he third eye. This also explains why she won't be able to tap the avatar state and defeat him. He is from what seen a spiritual guru that learned chi blocking.

I realize it's probably unlikely, but maybe it's Sokka's son. Niether he nor Suki are benders, so that would be a non-bending household. Anybody else feel like backing this theory?

Those above have already stated why it can't possibly be Ozai. I'd also like to add that not every single villain has a connection to eachother- clearly Amon and Ozai aim for different things. I've heard some interesting theories, one being Lee, the boy Zuko met in "Zuko Alone" -even though he would most likely be in his 70's, while I personally think Amon can't be older than 50- we do see lines under his eyes, this could be age or it could be lack of sleep? But really, most of the guesses make me laugh since people often forget the date Korra is set in, and at times it seems like they're just pulling names from a hat without having any accurate traits to back it up.

People lately have been debating if he's another Avatar because Aang was killed then brought back to life. But Roku said specifically that if the Avatar dies in the Avatar State, the Avatar stops existing and the cycle is broken- therefore, no Avatar could've been born when Aang was killed.

The Yukone theory is strong too, and in a way, a lot of it does make sense- even if I don't like the idea of Amon being Yukone (and I still doubt it.) Yukone's bending was taken, he vowed to come back for Republic City, the visions came to Korra when she was attacked by Amon as well as Tarrlok, etc. etc. Although, the age differences catches me- Yukone would be elderly by this point, while Amon seems much younger, and I do think that Amon genuinely hates bending, not because he's jealous either.


..Now, my personal thoughts on who he is? Really, I haven't got the slightest clue, and I'm trying not to guess (because 1. I'm just going to wait and see and enjoy the show, and 2. I'm getting really annoyed by everyone's extreme guessing.) I really hope, though, that he isn't just a legacy to someone else's backstory- I hope this character will stand on his own, rather than be a puppet of something that happened in the past. Amon has excellent potential as the antagonist, you can actually feel the fear the city is going through- I don't want any of this build up to go to waste.

A part of me really wants his story about his family being killed to be true- but he's simply holding back the details. For right now, Amon is just Amon to me. I'm going to let the show go at its own paise rather than clutter my thoughts with crazy theories.

I donno from the look of his eyes he looks kind of familiar. I know i might be wrong but i think it might be Zuko

My most twisted guess as to who Aman is would be Aang's other son. We haven't heard anything about him and considering the ability to remove bending is only a Avatars ability, it seems possible that it could have been inherited. There's always one rebellious child.

I think Amon might have some connection to Ozai or Azula. It just makes since to me, but who knows right now?

i think aman isavatar angg fist son since he was born a non bender

I don't think it could be Ozai. By now, he should be dead. I DO think that he could be related to Tai Lee. His followers can chi-block just like she could, and permanently taking away someone's bending is like a step above Chi-Blocking, which is only temporary. It's just like Toph's daughter, who was taught metal bending by her mother. She probably taught it to her officers when she formed the Metalbending Police Force.

Its been much too long for that. Im not sure who is Amon is but it could be Azula's sons, or son's son. If she had one. Maybe he was born without bending and grew angry. It's an unlikely theory but it's possible... I think.

I know who Amon is... HE'S ZUKO'S MOM!!!!!!?!!!!!!

I'm going with Ty Lee's son.

Personally I think that almost everyone has part of the asnwer. I think that Aman is Ty Lee's son and that Azula did kill Ty Lee and Her Husband out of revenge. But does anyone Remember The Boiling Rock part two? At the end of the episode Ty Lee chi blocked Azula and after the war Azula was more than likely imprisoned, so she would be out of practice, while Ty Lee would be free to practice. So it is a little difficult to see Azula take out a master chi blocker especcial considering that Azula became paraniod and dillusional, which did affect her ability to bend, remember her agni kai with Zuko. She was a gifted bender and during the series she consistantly beat her less than gifted but once she mentaly broke down he was able to defeat her. And please no one mention Zuko's new bending technique. I do recognize that he did gain quite a bit of skill but one should recognize her lack of focus and control. But Anng could have had a non bending child but based on Anng's character there is no way that he cheated on Katara. So to rap it up Aman most likely Ty Lee's son, Azula maybe killed Ty Lee, her husband, and scarred Aman but ; also Aman is probobly not Anng's son. So lets just wait and see more of the back story.

You know what? I think Aman is the.... descendent of the Cabbage guy!! :P jk. But Ty lee's son would probably make the most sense all together. But honestly, we all have no idea- unless of course you are actually a creator of Korra which none of us probably are. So, there fore let us leave the mystery of who Aman really is and wait for it to be revealed.

Its Mr. Sauto. He's the leader in technology and so is Amman. Mr. Sauto and amman are both nonbenders. And Mr. Sauto was poor and without a family and so was amman. Get it?

Aman is tarlok or is in league with him, one of the members of the council. Torlok is working very hard to put up a task force to stop Aman. In actuality, he is doing this so that he can progress with his plan. He is also not shown in any scenes when Aman is talking. Tenzin also states that the task force is just a way to separate the equalists from the benders even further. this would be perfect for his plan if he was Aman.

Furthermore, in episode 6, Tarlok actually agrees with Tenzin about the closing of the pro bending matches. this is exactly what Aman wanted and Aman had precautions even if they allowed pro bending. One surprising thing happened that made me sure that Tarlok was Aman. when the police chief came in, she suggested that they actually should continue the pro bending matches. After that, Tarlok has some very sly looks and changes his opinion. He did this because if he gave in to such a foolish idea knowing the consequences of what would happen if the pro bending continued, the public would be infuriated and blame it all on him, if that happened his identity might become exposed. however, when the police chief arrived, she stated that she would take all of the blame. therefore, there would be nothing to stop him from continuing with the plan.

In the flashbacks Korra's been having about Aang's life he's fighting a guy. My guess is that Amon is related to him in some way, most likely his son.

it is so obvious that is tarlock if you see episode 8
he is just like amon and can blood bend without a fullmoon

I don't think Amon is anyone directly from the old series, but he could be acquainted with a character we used to know. Maybe he was associated with Ozai. I really don't know much, but we will definitely find out later in the series.

First of all all you people who say he is realated to Ozai or Zuko or Azula, your all wrong. Dont you remember he said his family were all non-benders. But in a way you are also right, you know those glove things that make electricity, and whenever the camera zooms up on Amon`s eye, and it shows wrinkles? Well i bet since it looks like Amon is old he might`ve been old enough (not old like Aang old) to hear about the legend of team avatar`s (plus Zuko) life. And i bet he heard it from his dad. So anyways to lead this story up you guys remember that he said his family grew up on a farm.And do you people rember about the episode *Zuko Alone* when he meets the little boy on the farm. I think Amon is that kid`s son! Just think about it when his dad told him about Zuko he must`ve wanted to learn more about this guy and i bet he wanted wanted to get revenge for what he did to his dad (even though he didnt do much i bet Amon`s dad must`ve explianed it his own way).So i bet the he got the electrical glove idea from Zuko`s Akni Kai (spelled??). Then when a fire- bender killed his parents he must`ve wanted to get more revenge on fire benders and not only that but ALL benders.MUAHAHA PROOF!!!!!!!!!!!

Well maybe is aang's son, bumi, since he is suggested as a non bender... and well you know.. the son of avatar aang... I'd feel kind of bad if i was the avatar's son and didn't have any bending powers..

ok it clearly cannot be ozai but all ideas are acceptable so i won't stick with that .personally i believe amon may have nothing to do with the previous series.after all almost all the characters of avatar the last airbender would be too old to be amon.ι do not exclude however the fact that he may be the child or the apprentice of one of the previous characters,though it seems weird since most of the previous characters are benders and amon isn't so it is unlikely he is their child or apprentice.despite that try to remember jet(the spelling is wrong but i have no idea how it is properly spelled).his death was never actually confirmed so maybe he did survive and had a child or acquired an apprentice .after all amon said his father was killed when he(his father) confronted the firebenter who had been extorting their family.only someone with jet's guts would do that.then amon run away hiding behind the mask which didn't make him exactly popular .that turned him completely into a bender hater.desperate he went to the earth kingdom's great desert where he found that big owl and was taught everything about chakra points,chi blocking and how to counter all kind of bending.

I know this probably isn't right- but could it be Bumi, Katara and Aang's other son? Someone said Tenzin and Amon are probably around the same age, so perhaps Bumi would be too. Plus, he was a non-bender. Growing up as a non-bender with the Avatar as his father, his mother as a water-bender, and both his siblings also as benders, he was bound to have felt some jealousy sometime in his life.
Could that have led to him becoming Amon?

What if it's Zuko?

I also think he is the reincarnation of Aang some how. a lot of people in other sites think he was born when Aang died in 'The crossroads of destiny' ,

I kind of have a theory that it might be Aang's son, Bumi ^^ It would make sense that he'd resent benders because he's the only child (actually member of the family, really) who is a non bender. It would be really difficult growing up in the shadow of not only that, but having your father be the Avatar.

It would also make sense with why Amon can take away people's bending. He inherited it from Aang. The only thing that makes me skeptical is the fact that in the concept art, Bumi had Katara's complexion which doesn't match Amon's if you look at his hands :/

I may just be over analyzing things as usual though.

i hav 2 theoris, either Ozai or Tay lee's descendant.
Ozai- well because ang was frozen and survived 100 years, y cant ozai survive 70?
Ty lees descendant- come on the 1st time we heard of hi blocking we had to think bout ty lee rite?

i know ..he is " A MAN WEARING A MASK "!
no one can say that i am not right

i will talk seriously :
i think he is a man visited the spirit world and his face was taken
hmm...no, it is stupid

I think 'Amon' (Yes, that is how we spell it. I've checked the wiki numerous times. So I'm basically a pro at name spelling. O_o) isss (Drum roll. Hold your applause to the very end.) Is Yakome, Tarrlok's father. Sure it's questionable, and maybe a little too obvious. *Eye roll* But that's my final answer, and until proven wrong or further speculation, YOU (all of you) can't, I repeat, can NOT prove me wrong.

If Fire lord Ozai was willing to burn his own son's face due to such a minuscule thing as 'talking out of line', than I'm willing to believe that the villain, threat of this show would be prepared to go to any measure to prove how right (wickedly evil) they truly are.

The best and Honestly Most frightening answer is that Aman is Avatar Aang, Energybending as we know is only been shown to a select few, we also know that if the energy of the one bending is weaker than those he is bending his spirit could be corrupted or killed. It is possible that with this logic, Aang was trying to bend someone who's energy overpowered him and corrupted Aang. Making him into a position of Evil, Which would explain why he has never Hurt, his family. Aman has had the chance to hurt Korra, and the others, but hasnt. Aang as the villian would be a Dues Ex Machina, as the plot twist, that finishes the story of Aang

I think the only reasonable explanation is aman is the son of sang because he used that bending stealing technique on ozai, who should be dead. Maybe he trained with tai lee (sorry about my spelling, I think its spelled differently) also we know that special powers are handed down through generation with the blood-benders. I'm almost certain on my theory.

most likely amon is ty lee's son f1 he knows chi blocking f2 he runs like her f3 and his parent werent bender thats what i think or after his parent died he could have met ty lee and she trained him and also there cant be two physical embodements of the avatar

from the finale, we know! Amon is Noatok, Tarrlok's brother and a bender. I NEVER would've seen that coming.

AMON IS "LEE" FROM
THE LAST AIRBENDER BOOK 2 CHAPTER 7
"Zuko Alone"!

LEE is the little boy who took in Zuko on the farm, whose brother was killed by firebenders in the war. When he discovered Zuko was a firebender he ended up hating him too.

I KNOW WHO HE IS!!!
HE'S NOATOK! Tarrlock's brother, and whats-his-name's son!

Its tarlocks brother they say who he is in the season finale
he is also a water/blood bender and yakons son

I think that Amon is Council Men Tarloks brother or is related to him in some way.

Tarllock's brother, Noahtok

amon is tarlocks(yes i know i spelt that wrong) brother even though amon says he is a nonbender he is a water/bloodbender and his real name is not amon

i think he is a bender because in episode 9 he jumps high.i think he is tarrlocks brother because he could resist it when tarrlock tried to blood bend him.i think his name is noatok.

My mom and dad think that its Tarlok. he has the eyes and voice of Amon!

Okay i have missed wat seems like a lot of the show lately but i agree with the ozi comment becuase he was much much older n i belive that amon could be a dessendet of the blood bender that sokka,anng,and katara ran into in the other series the one that told katara that she is a blood bender n the person studied how to use the power to take bending away beacuse it could have been in like a museum that aang did the power to ozi n that person studied n later in life started to try it out n BOOM! a bending power that only the avatar can do but he/she can do...and maybe y he/she wants no benders anymore is becuase maybe a bender killed he/she's family. So maybe maybe not but thats my best guess.

Amon i a blood bender and yakons son. He is also Consilmen Tarloks brother. Amons real name is Noatok.
