I think Amon is a person who can energybend... Key points to be noted..

1- The lion turtle said before the time of Avatar people bend the energy.

2- Sokka in the Korra's dream sequence said people can come up with special bending skills like toph's metalbending, combustion mans technique, bloodbending etc.

3- Its not just the avatar the only person who can have contact with the spirit word. Iroh was also one who was said to have traveled to the spirit world.

So Amon just figured out enerybending, may be he got it from the Lion turtle or may be its true he has gone to the spirit world and some spirit like Koh, or any Anti-Avatar spirit have him this ability.

The person behind the mask may be entirely new and his story was true or if in case the show makers wanted a more gripping story telling he's surely someone related to the characters from old series or the Legend of Korra. certainly not Aang or Yakone.
