I think it would be too far-fetched for it not to be Gaius at this point. Especially after they’ve dragged out the reveal for two patches now.

What else are they going to do? “Hah! We fooled you all with this new character who happens to be mistakeable for Gaius in every way!”

It would be a cheap twist, and wouldn’t make for a better story than it simply being him.
