He is my thought on the identity of the partner who is also the Krolotean competitior.

1) The partner and Jaime's scarab both think the same way, ruthless, clinical and swift action. Notice Sportsmaster's convo with the shadowed figure himself after he zaps the Appellaxian Golem.

2) Blue Beetle and the Partner both have sonic cannons of similar design and function...However the Partner's capabilities are far superior to Blue's

3) The partner is Alien not an Earthling. This was suggested in the season one in episodes 'Disordered', 'Downtime' and in season two episode 3 'Alienated'. Rewatch them for the subtle but unignorable references they provide.

4) The Competitior/Partner has something in common to Blue and the Krolotean's were not blind to that fact striking fear into the Krolotean's.

5) Both The Partner and the Krolotean's conducted human abductions this is shown throughout season two so far and in Beneath for The Partner's desire for young abductees to serve the Light or himself ultimately.

This already known information rather than saying exactly who the shadowed figure (The Partner) is seeks to disqualify some of the assumptions made below. So it can't be Deathstroke, Mongul etc...

Probably a high ranking rogue reach agent or double agent with Scarab capabilities. Serving Darksied by scouting Earth's potential for a resistence for an impending Invasion maybe I don't know Im not Greg Weisman, sorry.
