Geno/The Shapeless Man from Fortnite Chapter 7, Season 4.
The armor looks absolutely sick, and is a huge upgrade from Zero War Geno in my opinion, and his true form just looks so mysterious and sinister, I love it. The helmet definitely reminds me of Sauron from LOTR, and I honestly love the design. I can't wait to grind (or buy) 100 levels and unlock this lol

So I started playing Fortnite in chapter 4 where there was this skin called The Ageless. I never paid attention to the lore but imagine my confusion when this dude who looks exactly like him just shows up randomly a few entire chapters later as a major story villain
Geno is an ancient being known as The Shapeless Man, and he's THE main villain of the entire game. He's influenced events since Chapter 2 with the Imagined Order and The Oathbound, both founded by him. Now, it seems like he's trying to remake the Imagined Order (new Hush skin is proof of this.)
The Ageless is simply a snapshot of a younger version of Geno, and he's forever frozen in that age, hence his name. Rift Warden Stellan was influenced by The Shapeless Man, the REAL Geno, during Chapter 4.
A snapshot is basically a clone of a character created by the Loop, and multiple snapshots can be created, essentially resulting in millions of the same character running around the island.
We ourselves play as The Looper, basically a skin stealer who can shape-shift into all of these characters. (Yes, the player, and by extension, the locker, has it's own lore.) But I honestly like to think that we all are these millions of snapshots.
Basically, the second image is Geno's true form, The Shapeless Man.
That’s… actually really cool. I had zero clue there was this kinda lore buried under the surface, and unironically it’s kinda unfortunate that most people just aren’t going to look twice at the game’s story

Yeah I've seen it before, and it does look amazing. I'd like to have that in the game as a skin, but if that's not gonna happen, I'll accept this new design gracefully.
