So... have we been told yet if it's someone we already know/know of, or if it's a new character?

According to Mod Raven, they already have decided who the voice will be. This does not eliminate the possibility of a new character, but it does make it seem unlikely. Just because they've already decided who it is, doesn't mean it's someone they've told us about yet. It just means they know that character exists.. and I sure hope so, they made the game! Its an existing character. Source?

I doubt there is any source about that. But I think it would be odd that Sliske has arranged the endgame because a person X asked a favour from him, and then we have heard nothing about this person X before Sliske's Endgame. Introducing new characters in early quests in a quest series is good and fine, but doing a deus ex machina like character is to me unsatisfying. Therefore I think it is most likely an existing character (Kerapac, Kara-Meir, Sliske himself, etc.), or at least someone who has been mentioned briefly (the sixth elder god, Queen of Ashes, etc.) Loristic, the Seeker of Lore, the Archivist of Knowledge, the World Guardian, the Diplomat of Cabbages, and the Regent of Miscellania. May anima mundi be with you and hail Guthix!

It can't be Sliske himself. How would he have been able to get the suggestion on how the Staff works?

The closest we've gotten to a deus ex machina at a peak in this particular storyline would be in Ritual of the Mahjarrat. The Dragonkin are shown in the epilogue of While Guthix Sleeps, then they show up in Ritual of the Mahjarrat. But that actually made sense, since it was Lucien being so incredibly powerful that someone else had to stop him. Here, I don't think we're expecting something like the Dragonkin usurping a Mahjarrat as the "main" villain. This is someone who has been the villain all along.

Just sent you the tweet.

For everyone else, here's the context:

"Is Sliske's master an existing character, even if just mentioned in the lore?"

Mod Raven: "Yes, we're not introducing a new character for that role."

So we can rule out that it might be someone we haven't seen or heard before.

I wonder if the 6th Elder counts as a "new character". Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.

Zaros has mentioned the 6th Elder in a flashback. A

Only then can they

There's a new Sliske podcast out. You might want to listen to it, and maybe read between the lines. Raven says something like there have been so many breadcrumbs that it might as well be a slice of bread. Osborne describes Sliske as primarily trying to pull at the status quo. Which I think would suit the Queen of Ashes, since the "downtrodden" might also be opposed to a status quo that would keep them oppressed.

It could be the Queen of Ashes.

We don't know her name, but by her title I'd certainly believe she doesn't care for beauty if it ends up being true.

When Zaros banished Sliske the latter claimed to of always been alone, sounds very downtrodden to me, more of a tragic character than we think, maybe?
