Yakone could have terroized Amon's family with his blood bending, but the law could not pin anything on him until the day Toph arrested him he got away with it. Perhaps it was the event that pushed Amon to feel bender oppressed non-benders and since Aang did not get involved for a while, he may resent the Avatar or feel he failed. His story may not be all b.s. He may genuinally feel benders abuse their powers even if he himself is a bender. He may loath himself for being a bender. I am just shooting off ideas now.


    True, as Amon often says he makes the benders one of them. Pretty sure if bloodbending was involved in his past he would have used that as an excuse insted of a firebender
    Firebending lends to a reason for why he wears a mask though.

    Too complicated. Better to keep it simple and relatable.

    Ok new theory... Amon is a spirit who gave uphis immortal form, like the koi fish.

    they counter theory is that he would be too old, although we don't know Yakones background if he was part of an mixed family with a waterbender and an earthbender he may have the potential to live longer like King Bumi or Kyoshi

    Probably a relative of Yakonne, like his son

    Age in the Avatar ain't nothing but a number. The old masters in A: TLA were moving like guys half their age. I can't imagine them in their prime. Didn't Sozin and Azulon live a long time like Bumi? I still do not want to say Amon is Yakone yet, but that is just me. We know Amon has to have some connection to Yakone otherwise Korra's visions would not have started when Amon touched her. I don't think Korra say everything Aang wanted her to see. Remember that scene where Aang looks pissed, Sokka and Toph are with him and he jumps into action? That scene was not in the vision Korra saw. I have a feeling that vision is where Amon part of the story comes in.

    I forgot Sozin and Azulon. I always thought the visions started because Korra was knocked unconsious while in a fearful state of mind

    Aang is trying to warn her of something the same way Roku tried to tell Aang about the comet. The user who said Tarrolock was a misdirection I believe is correct. Korra assumes Aang is trying to warn her about Tarrlock alone when in reality the visions have always come to her when Amon or Tarrolock are involved. Aang is trying to telling Yakone incident is connected to Amon. Second son of Yakone seems like a safe bet, but hope the writers have something else in store for us.

    But after Amon knocked her out. I don't think these visions are solely to warn her about Tarrolock.
