I agree Caleb seems the most likely candidate, but I'd hate for it be him. He was over-the-top and boring, and he's dead. Maybe it's the First merging with someone else? And I don't think it's Riley.
Also this issue made me doubt the Twilight's original claim that its goal is to destroy all magic. Now it seems to be reverting the change brought by Buffy. By trying to break the chain, and now, as we can see, by demoralizing Buffy instead of killing her. Strange, but I can see an ambigous guy in this role, the guy who thinks he's a good guy and is doing the right thing.
Giles seems more likely in this role. Also maybe it would explain how he could find a spell so fast in that Twilight manual, to destroy Roden. Maybe he already knew the spell? Also we saw Giles already bitching about there being too many Slayers, and the shifting of balance. I'll go with Giles for a time being, and his betrayal would be the closest and unexpected, even after his previous betrayals. Because previous betrayals he either regretted and amended for, or did them for Buffy's own good, as he saw it.
