Well he can't be the Avatar, because that is Korra. I also don't believe he is a spirit. But, he may indeed have had an interaction with spirits/the spirit world. If at least that part of his "life story" was true, then it explains how he can take away bending. Although, we don't know for sure if that really was energy bending. Maybe he know something about striking certain pressure points in a certain way, which would part of chi blocking instead. The creators did say chi blocking was different from energybending, so we'll just have to see.
