I gotta admire Amon's leadership style. By style I mean his way of explaining, apporaching and orrating things. In the real world, such strong leadership is feared, but in a fantasy, people look to a savior complex. Amon had that for several reasons.

His mask: People fear what they don't know. And faceless is unknown. The Star Wars Novel, Revan, said it best. A face is a man, mortal and as vulnerable as the next man. But a mask is a symbol, no longer a person but an ideal, something that can't be killed, and you attribute that to the mask-wearer.

His unsettling approach: I used unsettling for lack of a better word. Amon was like some leaders, better than the rest. Men and women on that level know how to manipulate people and their emotions. People who are not complicit or influenced are usually at wonder to how he wins people over, like Tenzin.

His cold demeanor: A passionate person, while inspiring, it that; passionate. Emotional and enraged, not the qualities of an effective leader who can bring and keep change.

So in the End: AMON IS A BADASS
