Amon's relationships

This page is composed of Amon's relationships with other characters. Amon is a mysterious man who leads the Equalists in a self-styled war against benders. As leader of a terrorist organization, Amon utilized his abilities of manipulation to achieve great success, subverting non-benders to his cause and ensuring that his enemies, and at one point Avatar Korra, were too immobilized with fear to effectively fight his revolution.

Parents
As a boy, Amon lived with his family on a small, unassuming farm. However, their status as non-benders and as a relatively poor family made them an excellent target for extortion by a firebender. Amon's parents were killed by this firebender when his father confronted the criminal, a major factor which contributed to Amon's hatred toward benders and led him to start the Anti-bending Revolution in Republic City.

Equalists
Amon is the leader of the Equalists, a group of activists who believe that everyone should be equal, and want to eliminate bending from the world. He commands them, and seems to have taught them a fighting style known as Chi Blocking. They are known to go to extremes for their cause, with Amon taking bending and attacking Republic City in the name of the Equalists.

Hiroshi Sato


Hiroshi Sato has created and provided all of the Equalist weaponry, namely the electrified gloves and the mecha tanks. Just like Amon, Hiroshi's hatred of benders stemmed from the actions of a firebender for having killed a loved one, in the industrialist's case, his wife. This allowed for Hiroshi to swear his undivided loyalty to Amon's cause, and he began manufacturing weapons for the Equalist regime in a secret factory concealed under his private estate.

The two appear to be on good terms with one another as Amon perceives Sato to be one of the most useful supporters of the Equalist movement. The extent of their relationship with each other is through Amon's assurances that Sato will have his daughter back soon.

Lieutenant
"Amon, how do you want to handle this?"

"So, the Avatar has arrived early. It looks like we'll have to accelerate our plans." - Amon discussing strategy with his lieutenant in "Welcome to Republic City".



As his right hand and the second in command over the Equalist troops, Amon and his lieutenant have a relation of trust with each other. The leader often trusts him to gather certain intel or perform other various tasks that would aid him in his war for equality. The Lieutenant is usually the one who is in charge of communicating Amon the news about the progress of the mission and their enemies' moves. Like Amon, the Lieutenant has a hatred for benders and believes there is no longer a place in the world for them. He is very willing to follow his orders and does so without question. Like the other Equalists, the Lieutenant has accompanied Amon in public appearances as well as fight his enemies, such as during the attack on the Pro-bending Arena.

Benders
"'The era of bending is over! A new era of equality has begun!' - Amon giving speech in 'The Revelation'."



Amon, a non-bender who lost his family, had an intense hatred for benders. Amon first developed his antagonistic feelings when a firebender started extorting Amon's parents, and when his father stood up to the firebender, the latter killed his family, and scarred Amon so severely that he was forced to cover his face with a mask. Years later, Amon would become the leader of the Equalists and after gathering enough members, launched an Anti-bending Revolution to rid Republic City, and then the world of all benders. When Avatar Korra came to Republic City, Amon unveiled his ability to take away a person's bending, forever striking fear into the heart of all benders in Republic City. Amon will stop at nothing to ensure that all benders are removed from the world in the name of equality.

Korra
"'I'm saving you for last; then you'll get your duel, and I will destroy you.' — Amon threatening Korra in 'The Voice in the Night'."



As the Avatar, the ultimate bender, Korra is Amon's natural opponent in his strife for a bendingless world. Upon her arrival, he ordered to speed up the established preparations and carry on with their plans. Amon met Korra for the first time when he ambushed her at Avatar Aang Memorial Island after she challenged him to a duel. Although he had her right where he wanted her, he decided not to take away her bending as that would effectively make her a martyr for the other benders of the world. Although not a bender himself, Amon does not fear the Avatar in the least. However, despite his animosity towards her, Amon views Korra's abilites with utmost respect, as he warned the Lieutenant and the other Equalists not to underestimate her when attempting to retrieve her from the metal box in which Tarrlok imprisoned her.

Metalbending Police Force
As the city's main guard, Lin Beifong and her officers tried to knock off all threats in Republic City. Being Amon's natural enemies, they try to stop Amon at all costs and arrest him. After being captured in the Battle at the Equalist factory, the Equalists mentioned that the officers would be taken to Amon. However, after the escape, Lin Beifong decided to resign from her duty as chief police officer in order to pursue Amon without the law restraining her actions. The captured officers' bending was all stripped before Lin Beifong broke them out.

Tarrlok
"'It is time for you to be equalized.' - Amon to Tarrlok in 'Out of the Past'."



Amon, the Lieutenant, and some chi blockers encountered Tarrlok as he was about to leave the cabin where he detained Korra. Threatening to take his bending away, Tarrlok laughed at that statement and attempted to bloodbend them all. Albeit successfully subduing all the Equalists, Amon himself was able to remain out of Tarrlok's control. Unable to be detained, the masked man easily took away Tarrlok's bending. When asked what he was, due to being able to overcome bloodbending, he replied he was "the solution".

United Republic Council
"'As you've heard the Republic Council has voted to make me public enemy number one proving once again that the bending oppressors of this city will stop at nothing to quash our revolution.' - Amon over the radio after the United Republic Council declared him their primary target in 'The Voice in the Night'."

As the city's number one public enemy, Amon views the council as a threat to his plans. When he demanded to close down the Pro-bending Arena, the council almost complied to his demand, but, after Lin Beifong's intervention, the councilors changed their minds and brushed his warning aside. However, this move played right into his hands as it allowed him to publicly demonstrate his power to take bending away. The council was powerless to stop him and failed to apprehend him afterwards.
