Here's my theory. Amon is someone new, however, he is related to the past by being the victim of YAKONE. Yakone is the firebender who killed his parents and scarred his face. The reason he hates the Avatar is because Aang failed to stop Yakone from doing this because he held back, as was his shortcoming in the prequal. For how he acquired his ability to take away bending, my guess is that either Aang taught him through guilt, or it was an accident if Aang used it on Yakone and then Amon got interfered and somehow absorbed the power from Aang. Maybe Aang died because of this too.
