I'm banking on... one of three possible answers.

1.) Oreb . Sliske has his book, he's the expert on souls, and he may or may not be connected to the afterlife and Icthlarin, Sliske's least favourite god. He was never brought up or even mentioned until Tales of Nomad. I don't think Jagex would just up and BOOM create a new character just for that purpose, but who knows..

2.) 6th Elder God . I have no idea where the name Vos is coming from, but I don't like the name, so I'm not using it unless it's canon. It would explain why they know so much and why they seem so.. emotionless. The down side here is Sliske wasn't facing the Stone when he was talking (not that I always face someone when I talk to them), and an Elder God would refer to the Siphon as the Siphon.

3. Jas/Wen/Ful/Bik . I incorporate all of them into one because if Sliske is acting on the will of one Elder God, there's a good chance it's the will of all 4 living Elder Gods. The same evidence to support and contradict as the previous entry apply.

1. Oreb was mentioned as the author of The Divine Delusion in Kindred Spirits, which was before Tales of Nomad. Considering how the first mention of Oreb is immediately before we see this cutscene, and Raven said he didn't want to make a new character, Oreb is really pushing it.

2. The name "Vos" comes from RuneMetrics, and I don't think it's a name so much as an acronym, like "Vessel of Sixth" or "Vessel of Stone", hinting what the winner of the game will become.

3. Out of the ones listed, I would lean towards Jas or Wen in particular. Though I suspect what Wen wants isn't the same as what her sisters want.

It is not likely Zaros , he would not send his own minions (Nex and Char) to keep eye on Sliske if it would be his servant. And Zaros would call the staff Siphon, he never uses mortal's names for artefacts. And yes, Zaros is liar, but this is not his style.

It is not likely Xau-Tak , it was comfirmed by Jagex, I think. And it would make Xau-Tak too important, it doesn't fit.

I is no young god like Zamorak, Smurf, Big High Chicken god etc, because it would make no sense. Why would Sliske serve them and why would such a god want all other gods gathered, if he could just simply take the stone and staff. And even the "to the point" style doesn't fit to any of them.

It is not likely Nomad or Oreb . They are both suposed to be dead and it doesnt seems any side would benefit from this. (What could Nomam or Oreb give to such powerful mahjarrat with both the syphon and catalyst and what would these guys get from gathering all gods?)

Even known Elder gods don't make sense to me. Why would they hire Sliske to do their work if they are so powerful and could eliminate all the gods (if they want) without smallest effort. And they are asleep in the elder halls of Gielinor, so it is not likely they are controling some random mahjarrat to make a game where some weak gods kill each other to get their stone.

So my teories are:

The sixth elder god , ok this theory might make some sense. If there would be sixth eldergod in need of powerful body for her/his "soul", he might choose the stronges god (the one that will win Sliskes game) and posses him or something like this. But it would be weird she (or he?) calls the syphon staff and if it is elder god, she/he perhaps sould be able to create own body/posses someones body without Sliskes help.

Sliske is a master of tricks and lies. Trick inside tricks inside tricks are his daily bread. Couldn't this "secret room" be just another Sliskes trick?Because Sliske seems to serve only himselg

I doubt it's an Elder god, formless or otherwise.

Best piece of evidence, Xau-Taks words carry more weight than whoever the Master is. Xau-Tak as we know for the most part is just a god, there's nothing he should be able to do that an Elder god couldn't with a thousand times more oomph.

My theory is that Sliske's master is probably Sliske himself. I mean, like, it's very unlikely for one of the younger gods to be Sliske's master. Why? Because throughout the Sliske's endgame quest we've seen those masks representing Sliske's dark and 'light' side, perhaps he has those inner monologues with himself.
It's quite unlikely for the Sixth to be Sliske's master either, I mean why would an Elder use mortal names for the Elder arterfacts? Xau-tak has already been ruled out by Mod Wilson, so we can scrap that one off the list too. We will see it sooner or later anyways :) .

So at the end of the new quest, Jas is all like Why did you kill our agent?
Is this proof that he worked for them, perhaps as some manipulated attempt to awaken the elder gods?

Probably that. But I had a few moments where I thought she could have been talking about the stone instead of Sliske... Brent Corrigan is actually my fav but his name was too long
