The history of Amon. Amon, is the favored son of Republic city’s notorious crime boss Hokone. Amon was horribly disfigured as a child during an assassination attempt on his father’s life. Hokone vowed to heal his son and spent fortunes on the best healers to restore his sons appearance. Through this search, he found the stories of the healing properties of the spirit oasis. The same waters that healed Fire Lord Zuko of his scars and once resurrected the avatar. Hakone traveled and came upon the pool, in which he encountered the Moon Spirit Yue who told him that his sons wounds would be healed and he would then be a master of his own body and spirit. As Amon grew into a young man, he studied and mastered the ancient art of chakra blocking. Jealousy soon grew in his brother Tarrlok, who hated Amon and the constant doting on him by their father. Amon left home at an early age and was enthralled by the myths and legends of ancient ways. Amon wears the symbol of the blood moon, a remembrance of Zhao's defeat at the hand of the Water spirit and further traveled to uncover the ancient buried library. Amon became the final student of Wang Shi Tong, who taught him that a person’s bending could be removed completely. Amon returned to Republic City and vowed to rid the world of bending, the same bending that caused him so much pain, yet ultimately liberated and cleansed him. Amon is able to control his body as a water bender can manipulate water, giving him increased agility, strength and immunity to toxins and even blood bending.
