Yes, I really, really hope he isn't the same Balder we know but from an early time, it would just feel like reusing the first game's antagonist with a welcome but still not so good twist. I like Balder, I do, but this would just be cheap for me... I didn't really expect the Masked Lumen to be him, but still, I just don't like it, and don't see it as possible, it would just be a huge retcon for so many reasons, the fact that he actually loved Rosa for one, when she clearly died at the WItch Hunts he started.

I hope he's alternate Bayonetta in a universe where she was born male and a Sage with more traits from her Father rather than her mother, and maybe his love could be an alternate Luka? Or even a never before seen witch that ends up killed in the Witch Hunts? Maybe it's kinda like Loptr for Loki, but genderbent?

Or I hope he's her brother, because of the reasons I said. That could also mirror Devil May Cry 3's story, if Hideki liked it or the director wanted to do something similar, or I don't know... seems too much of a stretch, though. Although I'm starting to get a manipulating vibe from the Mysterious Figure, like Arkham in that game.
