I'd rather they keep his identity and past a secret.

I prefer villains who are left mysterious and ambiguous. It makes them all the more terrifying and it seems to make the villain a more effective character in the end (case in point, Anton Chigurh)

Some of the greatest villains don't have complex or sympathetic motivations. They're just plainly evil, and it usually works. I've seen way too many times when the writers decided to make a good villain a sympathetic and misunderstood character at the very last minute, ruining whatever made that villain such an effective character before. I mean, look at what they did with Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader, and The Reapers.

God, I hope they don't give us some kind of stupid exposition for Amon where they try to turn him into some kind of anti-hero or anti-villain with noble intentions.
