It very well could be a new character; that'd be interesting.

But I'm gonna move my theory to the Chairman since, technicallly, he (or at least the UNSC) does own the equipment ever since PF was shut down and was responisble for providing Wash and Meta with the armor enhancements they needed to capture Epsilon in Revelation. Since Meta died and Wash escaped with his shit, it would make sense for him to want to re-obtain everything from Freelancer. Wash also did tell him about the Reds and Blues in Recreation and he does see lowly of them. PLUS, since he's like one of the head guys of the UNSC, it would explain why Felix and Locus (who fought for the UNSC in the Great War) would work for him; in addition to the fact that the dude probably pays well.
