...Oh. O.o

When I said :"He's also seen carrying a staff with his right arm" I meant he's using his right arm to carry the staff, not that he's using his arm as a weapon, lol. It's proof that his arm grew back so he must be a ghoul (or he has a really good prosthetic like Juuzou's).

It's still a mystery want went on behind closed doors, but whatever happened, Amon is a much sturdier person than Seidou is, both in body and mind. Also, seeing as how Amon had escaped, and has probably been on the lamb for a while, he probably hasn't been tortured as long as Seidou.

Given the doubt Eto installed into him in the original series, Amon's feelings towards the CCG might be complicated. If what she said was true, the CCG has been involved in some dirty dealings that may have dampened his feelings for the orginization, so he doesn't want to be associated with them the same way he was before. He still seems to be acting like an agent though, so I think he still wants to be one, if only in spirit.

Trying to steal the steel (lawl) could be for several reasons. I actually think preventing the CCG from making weapons could be a reason. Using it to perform an experiment similar to the Quinx has also crossed my mind. Quinque steal is useful for operations in general since I assume that Kanou has to use special equipment as normal knives and needles can't pierce ghoul skin. I reckon it'd also fetch a pretty penny on the black market for similar reasons. There are ghouls with tattoos and piercings, but the only thing that can pierce their skin is Quinque steel. Their reasons may have been as simple as money since that seems to be part of the reason Aogiri was at the auction.

From what I understand though, and I'll need the translations to get the gist better, I think it was the S3 Squad that defended the steel, Floppy just defeated the ghouls who got away. What this means excatly, I'm not sure. He/they didn't seem to help in a hands on manner, but they clearly where keeping tabs on things and cleared the stragglers.

Hmm, I'm leaning on Amon being an "Owl" since that was the next phase of the experimentation. Towards the end of TG, we see a bunch of tubs labled "Owl" that we were meant to assume contained the investigators, so Amon was probably one of them.
