Amon

"neutral"

- The era of bending is over! The revolution has begun!

Amon is the charismatic and mysterious leader of a group of chi blockers known as the Equalists, whose ultimate goal is to create equality by ridding the world of benders. A nimble and stealthy fighter, he is fearless in facing his opponents, regardless of their bending skills.

History
At some point in time, Amon became the leader of the Equalists, an organization against the art of bending, based in Republic City. They terrorized the city, striving to rid the world of bending.

While Korra made her maiden official appearance in the Republic City's City Hall, Amon heard her responding to questions through the radio. When his second-in-command inquired him about he was going to handle Korra's arrival, Amon replied that Korra had arrived early and that they would have to accelerate their plans.
