I believe I have your attention, benders of Republic City. So once again the Wolfbats are your Pro-Bending Champions. It seems fitting that you celebrate three bullies who cheated their way to victory, because every day you threaten and abuse your fellow non-bending citizens, just like the Wolfbats did to their opponents tonight. Those men were supposedly the best in the bending world, and yet it only took a few moments for me to cleanse them of their impurity. Let this be a warning to all of you benders out there; if any of you stand in my way, you will meet the same fate. Now, to my followers, for years the Equalists have been forced to hide in the shadows. But now, we have the numbers and the strength to create a new Republic City! I’m happy to tell you that the time for change has finally come. Very soon, the current tyrannical bending regime will be replaced by a fair-minded Equalist government. You and your children will no longer have to walk the streets afraid! It’s time to take back our city. For centuries, benders have possessed an unnatural advantage over ordinary people. But thankfully, modern technology has provided us with a way to even out the playing field. Now, anyone can hold the power of a chi-blocker in their hand. My followers and I will not rest until the entire city achieves equality. And once that goal is achieved, we will equalize the rest of the world! The Revolution has begun!
―Amon's anti-bending speech at the bending arena.

Noatak, better known as Amon, is one of the main antagonists of The Legend of Korra, the sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender. He is the main antagonist of Book One: Air.

Korra and Mako effectively revealed Amon's deception, causing him to flee. Noatak hurried to Tarrlok's cell and suggested they escape together to start afresh. Tarrlok acknowledged that he should have joined Noatak four decades earlier and consented to depart with him. The siblings set off on a high-speed boat voyage across the Mo Ce Sea, where Amon asserted that, with Tarrlok at his side, they could accomplish anything. Nevertheless, upon hearing Amon's original name, "Noatak," he became sentimental about their brotherly bond and shed a tear. In a tragic twist of fate, Tarrlok utilized an Equalist glove to ignite the fuel tank behind them, resulting in an explosion that claimed both of their lives. With the deaths of Noatak and Tarrlok, the lineage of bloodbenders, stemming from Yakone, came to an end.

Trivia[]

  • Amon is considered a far greater threat than Firelord Ozai. Amon was a self-proclaimed freedom-fighter using charisma to gather allies when Ozai was a tyrannical emperor ruling by fear. Amon's overall presence and ability to take someone's bending away was considered downright terrifying.
  • Ironically, Amon's father, Yakone was Aang's final adversary, and Amon himself was Korra's first adversary.
  • Amon can be viewed as the opposite of another Avatar villain, Liling. Liling hated non-benders and viewed benders as the natural order of things, the polar opposite of Amon's goals.
  • Amon's views towards benders bear strong similarities to the views of Lian from the first Avatar: The Last Airbender video game, as both see bending as the source of every war in mankind and that removing benders will bring equality and prosperity to the world.
  • Noatok's hair style at age 17 was made to look like Korra's reminding its viewers that despite being differnt people Amon and Korra came from the same groups.
