Amon was born on a small farm to a poor family of non-benders nonetheless, they were extorted by a firebender...

(i recall a story from back in avatar where a soul searching Zuko was fending off some fire nation soldiers who was extorting farmers a in a poor Earth Kingdom where he came to the rescue. He taught the farmer's kid some fancy swordfighting and gave his dagger before he left)

When Amon's father eventually confronted their oppressor, the firebender killed his family and severely deformed Amon's face, forcing him to "hide behind a mask" ever since.

(Im thinking/guessing the farmer's kid is Amon and after Zuko left, those fire nation soldiers came back and sought revenge to the family)
