Yall are putting up theories here, so ill put up mine.

My theory is the Providence is actually the Mercenary from the future/ alt universe.

This is because when you finish the game with the Mercenary is says "so he left, never to be human again." meaning he went on to become a crazed killer with immense power. My theory is further supported with Mercenary's 4th skill. You rush in to deal damage, almost the same way that Providence intiates his fight. Providence has great profieciency in using his sword, as does the Mercenary. The mercenary's sword looks a tad bit similiar to Providence's, though Providence has chips in his, and a wide end, suggesting alot of use. Also, why else would Providence attack the ship? He possibly wanted to kill himself (as the Mercenary) so he could end his future, preventing him from doing tragic things, alas the Mercenary kills Providence and becomes him later. Also, the log reads that Providence moved with purpose, possibly suggesting that his purpose was to kill his past self.
