My own theories on the identity of Amon:

1. Is a rebel deity from the Spirit World who is trying to take advantage of the hot-headed non-benders that seek equality. He will seize power once the chaos of the war ensues. His energybending\chi-blocking not only removes bending, but gives the bender's power to himself. This theory explains why Amon wears a mask (because his true appearance will frighten any possible followers).

2. Is a reincarnation of Evil. Just like the Avatar is the Earth's spirit in human manifestation that endlessly reincarnates, Evil is reincarnated with the birth of every Avatar. For Aang, Evil was Ozai. For Roku, Evil was Sozin. For Kyoshi, Evil was Chin. For Kuruk, Evil was Ko. Evil is always reincarnated because the Spirits believe that adversity is the only path to a utopian society, and that humans need more challenges to make sure they can one day live by themselves without Spirits (learn from mistakes).
