There is merit behind the theory of it being whoever hired the Insurrectionist Leader/Alien Team that the Reds and Blues defeated at Sandtrap. Technichally it's a character we don't know, we've never seen them and they are un-named. That was someone who possibly has a large amount of resources, and is ruthless enough to kill anyone who gets in the way.

Personally I don't believe it's the Counselor, I don't see a reason to bring him back other than laziness, and I think they would probably have fleshed his character out a bit more in the last saga if he was going to come up again. Also we've never seen him be manic about recovering technology, and he's never really shown a greedy streak.

If it's the Director, I'm done. It'll be goodbye to the series for me.

The Chairman is a valid theory, you've all gone through it so I won't again. I would prefer that it's not him, because again there's an element of laziness, but I'd have less of a problem if it was this guy than the Counselor because we've seen before that he wants to recover technology.

I hope it's a completely new character (In the sense that it's someone who's never been in the series before season 11). Personally I've been delighted that the only characters who've been introduced so far in the saga are new characters who have no relation to Project Freelancer, the Insurrection etc. because it's kept things fresh. There's the continuity of having the Blood Gulch Crew there of course, but it'll get boring if every new villain that gets introduced is somehow connected to Freelancer. And I really don't want it to get boring.
