Guys I have a theory about LOK that I just feel like sharing. Yakone is the father of Tarrlok and Amon, and they are brothers. They were both present at Yakone's trial where they witnessed their father bloodbending. He had the upper hand until Aang went into the Avatar state, disarmed Yakone, and removed his bending. Yakone was imprisoned but both his sons wanted revenge. But the two had different thoughts on how to do it. Amon blamed the Avatar for his father's defeat and soon he came to hate all benders (regardless of whether he himself is a bender or not). So Amon studied Aang's technique and somehow learned how to energybend himself. So now he is out to eliminate bending from the world to avenge his father. Tarrlok, on the other hand, wished to continue his father's work and came to master bloodbending, even exceeding Katara and Hama. But the two brothers had different ideals and disagreed with one anothers' (Amon thought bloodbending was just another example of benders taking advantage of their skill and Tarrlok thought that taking another's bending was unjust [c'mon he loves bending]). So the two came to hate each other and oppose each others' goals. So now there they are, Amon making Tarrlok look bad and Tarrlok doing everything he can to oppose Amon, even taking it to an extreme. Just a theory. :)
