What's he promising them? Victory against the Garleans and the liberation of Ala Mhigo? What power do they have within themselves that justifies their pride? Their cause is righteous, but that doesn't justify doing anything, no matter how vile, to free their homeland... Hmm...

If it really is Ilberd (and it slagging is, why else would the guy be masked), he wouldn't make such a bold move without one.
That makes all the Ascians Ilberd as well, seeing that they all wear masks. And Unukalhai.

I think it is a new villain/anti hero/ anti villain we will have to deal with in 4.0 Kinda like Ysaile. As for his ace in the hole:
He probably has something, otherwise he wouldn't be much of a credible threat, but it might just be talk. Political speeches are often like that. Especially done by megalomaniac dictators.
