I've said it before, and I'll say it here; Amon is Amon and that's all he needs to be. Why make him just be a reccuring character from the previous series. Mike and Bryan are more creative than that. Amon just being Ozai would be bad writing, Mnight Shaymalan style "What a twist" type writing where a twist is added for the sake of having a twist. Having such a twist wouldn't be interesting or even logical.

Heck, if anything, I would wager that if we had to guess at Amon's heritage, I would argue that he is likely from the Earth Kingdom. The Earth Kingdom has the largest divide of benders vs. non-benders of the four nations, given that they have the largest population, so him being so anti-bender makes it likely that he comes from the Earth Kingdom. But overall, what nation he hails from is ultimately insignificant in the grand scheme of things. But one thing he is not is just a previously established character from the previous series, and I can say that with absolute confidence.
