I feel like maybe the man is an enforcer or a representative for a secret society - I just hope it isn't HYDRA, because they pretty much rode that train front and back for a loooooooong time.

I wouldn't mind if the possible organization is the Enclave http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Enclave_(Earth-616) ) or the Secret Empire ( http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Secret_Empire_(Earth-616) ), a lone organization originiating from a subsidiary of HYDRA. I feel it would make sense better if it was the Secret Empire, because the armed escort bared a strong resemblance to the HYDRA tactical operatives from prior and that in the comics, they have a rivalry with S.H.I.E.L.D.. If it's the Enclave, It would make more sense than the Secret Empire if the events of the new Inhumans series tied in with Season 5. (http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Enclave_(Inhumans)_(Earth-616) )
