I still get the feeling of a certain distinction between Amon compared to other Equalists. I just don't see his character and believe he is in it for the same reasons the others are in it for. Yeah I know, make a crack about his mask. :p But, I truly get that sense. Like I said before, I think he's a different kinda kat. At first, I figured he'd be an "above good and evil" egotistical kind of leader that doesn't think of himself as a villain or a hero. This is because he wears "the Chinese ideogram for "Peace" on his chest" as it says in the trivia on this page. The same trivia fact states that it "also means "fair" and "equal", matching the Equalists name" So, I figured Amon had priorities for peace and fairness above all else, to the point of fault that makes him a villain and leader of a terrorist organization. But with that at the same time, that he didn't view his actions as good or evil, just as the fairness that had been lacking. But then, I thought about it some more. I think that grudges from the war, jealousy of benders, and a desire for eternal peace (to the point of starting war and being a terrorist), is more representative for the Equilists as a whole. Since I still don't believe Amon is in it for the same reasons as the rest, that would mean he must be much different from the rest. Therefore, I think it is more likely he manipulates the Equalists and their ideology for personal gain and/or motives, rather then for "the ends justify the means" kind of ideals. I had this thought yesterday that deep down Amon might be one of those manic, chaos loving types. But he hides it behind a mask and acts like one of them when leading the Equalists, and when moving about the city he hides it behind a metaphorical mask of acting kind and friendly towards others. I think Amon will shock a lot of people, because I think we'll see this character within the first few episodes as a non threatening, regular citizen and not make the connection. But then, it'll turn out that he is actually Amon. It's just a guess, but that's my take on it. I for one will be looking at all the characters, but especially ones who play more minor roles and keep showing up. That's where I expect to find him.
