Amon's relationships

This page is composed of Amon's relationships with other characters. Amon is a mysterious man who leads the Equalists in a war against benders. He harbors a highly manipulative nature, shown as how he rendered Avatar Korra psychologically broken with his words and presence alone.

Parents
Amon and his family lived on a small farm and none of them were benders. Amon's parents were killed by a firebender who extorted his family, which was a factor that contributed to Amon's hatred toward benders and led him to start the Anti-bending Revolution in Republic City.

Lieutenant
"'Amon, how do you want to handle this?' 'So, the Avatar has arrived early. It looks like we'll have to accelerate our plans.' - Amon discussing strategy with his lieutenant in 'Welcome to Republic City'."



As his right hand and the second in command over the Equalist troops, Amon and his lieutenant have a relation of trust with each other. The leader often trusts him to gather certain intel or perform other various tasks that would aid him in his war for equality. The Lieutenant is usually the one who is in charge of communicating Amon the news about the progress of the mission and their enemies' moves. Like Amon, the Lieutenant has a hatred for benders and believes there is no longer a place in the world for them. He is very willing to follow his orders and does so without question. Like the other Equalists, the Lieutenant has accompanied Amon in public appearances as well as fight his enemies, such as during the attack on the Pro-bending Arena.

Hiroshi Sato
Hiroshi Sato has created and provided all of the Equalist weaponry, namely the electrified gloves which and the mecha tanks. Just like Amon, Hiroshi's hatred of benders stemmed from the actions of a firebender for having killed a loved one, in the industrialist's case, his wife. This allowed for Hiroshi to swear his undivided loyalty to Amon's cause, and began manufacturing weapons for the Equalist regime in a secret factory concealed under his private estate.

Benders
"'The era of bending is over! A new era of equality has begun!' - Amon giving speech in 'The Revelation'."



Amon, a non-bender who lost his family, had an intense hatred for benders. Amon first developed his antagonistic feelings when some firebenders started extorting Amon's parents, and when his father stood up to the firebender, they killed his family, and scarred Amon so severely he was forced to cover his face with mask. Years later Amon would become the leader of the Equalists and after gathering enough members, launched an Anti-bending Revolution to rid Republic City, and then the world of all benders. When Avatar Korra came to Republic City, Amon unveiled his ability to take away a persons bending, forever striking fear into the heart of all benders in Republic City. Amon will stop at nothing to ensure that all benders are removed from the world in the name of equality.

Korra
"'I'm saving you for last; then you'll get your duel, and I will destroy you.' — Amon threatening Korra in 'The Voice in the Night'."



As the Avatar, the ultimate bender, Korra is Amon's natural opponent in his strife for a bendingless world. Upon her arrival, he ordered to speed up the made preparations and carry on with their plans. Amon met Korra for the first time when he ambushed Korra at Avatar Aang Memorial Island after she challenged him to a duel. Although he had her right where he wanted her, he decided not to take away her bending as that would effectively make her a martyr for the other benders of the world. Although not a bender himself, Amon does not fear the Avatar in the least.

United Republic Council
"'As you've heard the Republic Council has voted to make me public enemy number one proving once again that the bending oppressors of this city will stop at nothing to quash our revolution.' - Amon over the radio after the United Republic Council declared him their primary target in 'The Voice in the Night'."

As the city's number one public enemy, Amon views the council as a threat to his plans. When he demanded to close down the Pro-bending Arena, the council almost complied to his demand, but, after Lin Beifong's intervention, the councilors changed their mind and brushed his warning aside. However, this move played right into his hands as it allowed him to publicly demonstrate his power to take bending away. The council was powerless to stop him and failed to apprehend him afterwards.

Metalbending Police Force
As the city's main guard, Lin Beifong and her officers tried to knock off all threats in Republic City. Being Amon's natural enemies they try to stop Amon at all costs and arrest him. After being caputred in the Battle at the Equalist factory, the Equalists mentioned that the officers would be taken to Amon. However, after the escape, Lin Beifong decided to resign from her duty as chief police officer in order to pursue Amon without the law restraining her actions.

Tarrlok
Amon, the Lieutenant, and some chi blockers meet Tarrlok before he leave the cabin where Korra was. Tarrlok attempted to bloodbend them all, successfully subduing all by Amon himself. He was shocked to see Amon be only slightly affected by his powerful bending. In the end, Amon took away Tarrlok's bending, as the latter asked what Amon was, to which he replied, "the solution".
