History Characters / TheLegendOfKorraAmon

* CharClone: The DarkMessiah version. Interestingly enough, while it turned out that he was someone's older brother, it turned out to be of Tarrlok, one of the other antagonists of the series.

** After [[KickTheSonOfABitch removing the bending]] from [[TheBully Tahno and the other White Falls Wolfbats,]] his speech at the Pro-Bending Tournament makes it clear he has great disdain for those who bully others and cheat their way to victory and decries those who cheered for them that night (as it was ''very'' clear the game was rigged). While he uses it as a metaphor for non-benders being oppressed by benders, he does (in a roundabout way) defend the Fire Ferrets (Korra, Mako and Bolin), because while they're benders, they fought ''fairly'' and with honor.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Invoked in his early targets for de-bending, since he wanted to portray himself as targeting benders using their power to oppress non-benders (the Triple Threat Triad, an organized crime syndicate, and the Wolfbats, who cheated their way into winning the pro-bending tournament). This is also why he refuses to de-bend Korra at first.

* TooPowerfulToLive: You've got a [[spoiler:bloodbender who can manipulate his enemies' blood simply with but a thought, NoSell other people's bloodbending, ''and'' can remove the bending of others. Thus, it was necessary for him to be taken out from the story for good.]]

* BloodMagic: Amon was a master of the rare and outlawed art of bloodbending. Under Yakone's tutelage, he mastered the technique to such an extent that he could perform it at anytime, without the aid of a full moon, by the age of fourteen. At the same time, he also learned his father's special skill of [[ThoughtControlledPower psychic bending]], allowing him to perform his bending skills not only through physical movement, but also through sheer focus and strength of will. His bloodbending techniques consisted of body manipulation and torture with minimal effort, levitating targets, throwing them around, subduing them, and knocking them unconscious. With his skill in psychic bending, he could also bloodbend one or multiple targets into submission while able to freely move in for other measures to finish other opponents. Additionally, he exhibited the ability to resist bloodbending with little effort, even against his brother, Tarrlok, who had also mastered the skill to a similar level.

* {{Hypocrite}}: He wants to get rid of benders for making non-benders live in terror, while his own strategy consists of doing exactly that. Not to mention that he is a [[BoomerangBigot a bender himself]], using bloodbending to fake spiritual powers. While Tarrlok thinks [[YouAreWhatYouHate Amon is none too proud of his this]], he still uses it subtly to fight, rather than fighting like a BadassNormal. In the end, the Lieutenant is not at all happy to realize this.

** To start, it's the name of an [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Egyptian god]]. It is a borderline MeaningfulName as Amon ([[SpellMyNameWithAnS or Amun, Amen, et cetera]]) not only is associated with the unseen and mysteries, but also with the ''poor and the oppressed''.
** He also shares a name with a demon from the ''Literature/ArsGoetia'' who is associated with {{Wrath}} of the TranquilFury variaty.
