I'd really like it to be Octopus, considering that we know absolutely nothing about him and he'd be a great character to expand upon. However, I don't think even Octopus could change the facial structure of his bones (cheeks, jawline). It's only been said that he had his nasal bones shaved down (which would match the XoF commander's tiny nose). But Octopus has never been depicted with the blue, heavily scarred skin that this guy has. Also, Octopus has hair. This guy looks like he's incapable of growing hair.

It's always struck me how much this guy resembles the adult Psycho Mantis in facial features. However, my initial speculation that he could be the father of Mantis doesn't seem to add up, as burns would not turn someone's skin blue.
