The Unknown, for those who do not know, is the boss that appears in the Land of Departure after the defeat of Vanitas's Lingering Sentiment in the Badlands in Birth by Sleep.
Before we get into the Unknown's possible identity, let's first discuss who the Unknown definitely ISN'T.
Xemnas:
This is the possible answer that I see the most on different websites. I honestly don't see where people get this. Terra can fight this boss. Terra is part of Xehanort and Xehanort is Xemnas. So, if we were to put Xemnas's creation into mathematical terms;
Terra + Master Xehanort = 'Terranort' - Heart = Xehanort's Heartless & Xemnas
If we take Terra out of the equation (Which he would be, since he is in the fight), Xemnas's creation isn't possible. So, unless Xemnas pulled some weird time travel shiat, the Unknown isn't him.
Ansem the Wise:
Ansem the Wise is the possibility that I see frequently. I won't call people that think that an idiot, though. While Xemnas obviously isn't the Unknown, Ansem the Wise isn't so obvious. On the surface, he could very well be the boss. He was around during that time. It's just... the motive makes no sense. That's probably because there isn't one. He has no reason to fight the heroes. It just doesn't make any sense once you think about it.
Master Xehanort:
I don't see this one as frequently, but I still see it. So, i'm going to say why it's wrong. First off, the weapons. Xehanort has a freakin' keyblade. Why would he need swords? Maybe because the swords are more powerful? Well, if that is the case, and Master Xehanort is the Unknown, why didn't he just use those against Terra's Lingering Sentiment? Would have made sense. He probably would have been able to take out Terra pretty easily.
Now that we have that out of the way, let's look at my own prediction.
I think that the Unknown is an enemy that we have not been introduced to yet. Maybe we'll be introduced to him in KH3D or KHIII? I just don't see a connection with any character we currently know of.
This is a prediction thread. So, throw in your own predictions.

You're probably right about it being a new character, but I'm not so sure that they aren't tied to Xemnas or Xehanort in some way or another. After all, he uses the same weapons, right? Maybe he's a template or something.
What I mean is, every other org member used a weapon based on one they used in real life (Axel's Chakrams were reminiscent of Lea's Discs, for example), but Xemnas didn't. Neither Xehanort, Terra, Terranort, or Ansem: Seeker of Darkness used light blades as weapons, but Xemnas does. Maybe this Unknown we face is the reason why. Maybe, because of his particular predicament, Xemnas was born without his own weapon set and absorbs this guy at some point, and that is why Xemnas fights like he does.
As for what or who the Unkown is directly, I have no idea. I would assume he's the by-product of an experiment on hearts or the natural evolution of a renegade Unversed. (I haven't played BBS, so I'm really flying blind here.)
