Yeah Ozai was almost always pretty straight forward, a fire bender and the leader of the fire nation.
For some of the more mysterious characters, there were a ton of ridiculous theories though. Especially combustion man. Seriously, what was the significance of that third eye? Where did he come from? Why did he never speak? Why did the elite guard uniforms have similar third eyes? It's because he's Wan Shi Tong/ the sun spirit/ an airbender/ Azula's real father!

Do you think Amon can really energy bend? In Korra's flashback Aang took Yakone's bending away and there was no light show or anything.

My Amon theory:
When Izula shot aang in the back with lightening he died, we know this because aang himself says "i wasn't just hurt was i? i was gone". Katara managed to bring him back to life using a combination of her master level healing skills and the special spirit water from the north pole.
Now some people have tried to use this to say that Amon is a second avatar created because of aangs second death. This can't be true because aang was in the avatar state when he died. and when the avatar dies IN the avatar state the cycle is broken and their will be no more avatars (Roku states this clearly to aang). Obviously aangs revival restored the cycle because we have Korra.
But heres what i think happened, go watch the ATLA finale again and listen to the Lion turtle when he is teaching spirit bending to aang:
"In the time before the avatar, people bended not the elements but each others spirits"
So would it be possible that in a time after the avatar (such as in the event the cycle was broken) people would go back to being spirit benders instead of element benders?
So basically i think when aang "died" and the cycle was temporarily broken it ended the era of element benders and allowed a natural spirit bender, Amon, to be born.
This could also explain how Amon was able to resist blood bending, because in order to be a spirit bender your own will must be "unbendable" according to the Lion Turtle.

I thought it would be interesting if perhaps he had met Guru Pathik, who while not a spirit bender is a master of spiritual teachings. I mean he was able to help aang learn about the avatar state when he himself is not the avatar so maybe he could help a young Amon understand spirit bending.
Ofcourse i really only postulate this because i thought he was a funny old kook and it would be cool to see him in a flashback or something.

Well he was already stated as being the oldest man in the world, and seemed to be in amazing health. I don't think it is unreasonable to think that a man who has already lived to be twice the age of most people in the world would live another 15 years to meet a young Amon.

Also consider that Avatar Kyoshi lived to be 230, and during the events of ATLA Pathik was 150, and if he was still alive in korra day it would make him 220-ish still younger then kyoshi lived to be.
Granted Kyoshi was an avatar, but Pathik seemed to be just as connected to the spirit world as any avatar to the point of having an intimate understanding of the avatar state. I think it is possible he is still alive.
