My guess is that Control was the Insurrectionist Leader's mysterious benefactor from Recreation. As you may remember, that season ended with an unresolved plot as the Leader refused to tell Tucker who he was working for. As Control seems familiar with the Reds and Blues and an interest in alien artifacts, I think it could be likely that Control is the Insurrectionist Leader's employer. Now, a question of who that employer is. I don't think it's Hargrave. The Chairman has the full power of the UNSC on his side, and wouldn't hide himself like Control has. The Meta is dead and can't speak. I also seriously wonder where he gathered the resources for an operation like Chorus. It would also be a horrible letdown if he did turn out to be Control. The Counselor theory has a bit of merit; the Counselor always seems cold and detached and often worked from a distance. He also would take an active interest in the reclamation of Freelancer technology and like the Insurrectionist Leader, his story has loose ends. The Director is dead, I refuse to believe otherwise. He was a broken man at the end of Season 10, he took off life support in his compound and you could hear a gunshot as the scene faded.
