No sooner had Ausiello put out information regarding a new Lost character for Season 6 than we got word that John Hawkes (who appeared on Deadwood) would be joining the cast as this new character named Lennon.

Lennon is described as: the scruffy, edgy and charismatic spokesperson and translator for the president of a foreign corporation who is far more powerful than it seems from his position. Lennon can be deferential when it’s called for. He’s the spokesperson/translator for the president of a foreign corporation. He’s a wily negotiator, and far more powerful than his lowly position would seem to indicate. Recurring.

Hrm....but who does he work for?  Widmore?  Mr. Paik?  Someone else?
