Amon could as well be a bender just using the hate of non-benders for his own purposes. After all, the Equalists are modeled after the Nazis and the Bolsheviks. Their leaders were Adolf Hilter and Josef Stalin, respectfully. Neither were one of the people they claimed to represent. Hilter, the leader of the Nazi Germany, was an Austrian without blonde hair, which disqualified him from being German or 'Aryan' (Aryans were Nordic people with blonde hair and blue eyes). Yet he used the xenophobia of German to turn them against the Nazi's enemies and to advance his own plans (expansion of Germany, WWII, genocide of Jews, gypsies, etc.). Stalin, the leader of Communist Russia, was a Georgian. He claimed to work for the 'good' of his people and communism, yet he ordered several purges and mass executions. He murdered his political rivals and disposed of people he no longer needed. He used starvation, fear, and betrayal to keep himself in power. Initially, he was able to so by claiming that, if he was not in power, capitalism, monarchy, and the feudal system would return, a possibility the Russia people feared greatly. Eventually, he was able to suppress the people with sheer military might and spies (esp. child spies). Amon could as well do the same. His backstory could be a bunch of hogwash as well, considering that both Hilter and Stalin changed their histories and family histories to suit their own needs. It just might that, once the Republic City Council falls, he will just go about suppressing his 'own people'.
