I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and make a bold prediction. That laser claymore wielding character will not be an Inquisitor, or even the main bad guy at all. It will be Luke. Luke's style of lightsaber combat was two handed and very brutish, with long, wide swings, and a large claymore type weapon makes perfect sense for that style. The glove holding the saber also bears a resemblance to Anakin Skywalker's glove from the prequels, and it is on the hand that Luke lost to Vader, so it would not surprise me if Luke fashioned it after his father.

There have also been rumors that the character might actually be Darth Revan as there are images circulating around the net of a character who wore a mask similar to Revan's brandishing a two handed claymore type lightsaber. I don't honestly know enough about Darth Revan to comment on this, other than that I know he's a pretty cool looking character.

I've heard rumors Luke will turn out to be the bad guy, those seemed far-fetched, but who knows.
Regarding Revan, he is my favorite EU character and has an interesting and at times very ambiguous history. To start, I read the villain would dress "similarly" to Revan, but isn't actually him. That would make the guy over 3000 years old, although in the KOTOR timeline he does live to be over 300. The basic rundown on Revan is as follows:
He was a very powerful Jedi who became the leading general during the Mandalorian wars. He became particularly brutal and willing to sacrifice many to ensure victory, and ultimately he handed the Mandalorians their asses when he killed the Mandalore. After the war he went into unknown territory and found the Star Forge. He wound up falling to the dark side and led a campaign against the republic until his apprentice and friend, Darth Malak, betrayed him and left him for dead. The Jedi mind-wiped him and used him against his former apprentice, but eventually Malak told him the truth of his identity. He rejects the dark side and winds up killing Malak and destroying the forge. He marries Bastila, the Jedi who saved him and helped him defeat Malak's army. His memories from before the wiping fully return, and he goes off to kill the Sith Emperor whom he encountered on his way to the Star Forge. He leaves his wife behind for her safety. His plan fails, he is betrayed by his allies again and the Emperor keeps him prisoner as a Force power generator for 300 years. They poorly explain that his strong connection to the force allows him to stop aging and mentally slow the Emperor's plans for decimation of the republic. After those 300 years he is released by a Jedi team but he's basically insane from his captivity and plans on wiping out all governments, both Jedi and Sith, to restore balance and peace. That's pretty much caught up to what I know is going on.

Apparently they have confirmed that Andy Serkis is indeed the narrating voice from the trailer, he has a "pivotal role" yet "limited screen time."
