A figure so different from a prophet! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amos

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a prophet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a figure so different' is the wordplay.
'figure so different' becomes 'mos' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a'+'mos'='AMOS'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amos that I've seen before include "Biblical prophet and OT book" , "Biblical character" , "Hebrew prophet" , "man" , "30th OT book" .)
