Here's a radical idea about Amon's identity: it isn't important.

There is no reason for Amon to be any pre-existing character or be related to them. Really, it would deprive his character of a lot of his mystique. He could actually be who he says he is or he could have fabricated a publicly acceptable story about his motivations and his skill set to help rally the non-benders around his cause. He doesn't need pre-existing relations to the cast, his connection to the characters is that of a villain.

He may wear a mask, but masks have more purposes aside from being removed for a dramatic reveal, such as his story about the mask hiding unsightly burns, but if it doesn't it also acts as a tool for intimidation towards benders, as a symbol for the non-benders and as an auxillary plan for if he does get made he can rid himself of the mask and start his crusade anew or fade into obscurity.
