Sadly, the character’s identity still remains a mystery. Check out what the Schwartz had to say about the exciting new character debut on Arrow below.

“When we knew our 150th episode was coming up, we obviously wanted to do something special. I know for our 100th episode that we were all very pleased with how that turned out and it felt so nostalgic and perfect, and so we knew we kind of had to try to one-up ourselves. The room came up with the brilliant idea to film it documentary-style, and it allowed us to use all of our favorite characters from past and present in this format, which was something that was really important to us because as you’re hitting such a milestone, you want to see those characters that made the series what it is.”
