Good question, and as far as I know, we don't have the answer yet.
It is implied that the Envoy is the same person as Future Guy. But even that is just an assumption.
We haven't seen the Suliban yet, and the Na'kuhl are not defeated yet. The clown known as Mirror Leeta is still flying around blaming others for her own failures and the battle against the Sphere Builders is an ongoing one so I think there's more episodes coming.
If he is supposed to be Future Guy its absolutely terrible writing.
The Envoy is working towards trying to destroy the federation, whereas Future Guys motives are much more shrouded in mystery.
And Future Guy is clearly opposed to the Sphere Builders unlike the Envoy.

I kinda hoped that Future Guy would've been a Romulan, especially in light of everything that's happened to them over the last few decades.
I would have gone that way as well. With the current story, yeah I don't think you can eliminate any possibility. Up until the reveal I was betting the Envoy (as presented in STO) was Daniels from an alternate timeline or further in the future. That, and anything else, could still happen. But I also wouldn't be surprised if we move onto something else and the current explanation is left as is (cryptic generally doesn't linger for long on any one primary subject.)

My money is on Future Guy a.k.a. Envoy being Daniels - submission into evidence Exhibit 1
After several of the missions Daniels face gets warped out of shape and starts to resemble Envoy when he is revealed at Galorndon Core.
The envoy isn't Daniels. The face thing is a tie in for how he's eventually found dead in Enterprise. Play the full missions and you'll know who the envoy is.

In that case I shall withdraw my speculative musings and go sit quietly in the corner
I never managed to catch very many episodes of Enterprise when it was first released, mostly due to a ridiculous timetable at University that for some reason scheduled mandatory lab sessions that extended into early evening. Any reruns that I do notice these days either clash with something my wife either wants to watch or is recording (though how she finds the time to watch one channel and watch what she records over 3 channels on each of our 2 cable boxes is beyond me!!)
I consider myself lucky if I manage to hijack one of the tv's to watch rugby or F1 live these days ... even the cats seem to have viewing priority over me, although for some reason I am allowed to pay the bill!!
You accuse him of bold face lies, yet you are no better.
Nobody stopped the Suliban Cabal, yes some of their plans were foiled but that's pretty much it. The last interaction known with the Suliban Cabal was when Silik stowed away on the Enterprise to steal the plans for the Na'kuhl's temporal conduit. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest the organization ceased to exist or was disbanded.

Gone doesn't mean defeated ... they could have simply moved their operations to somewhere else. That or the Tholians found out where they lived and shot them up.

In that case it might get a little confusing so let me try explain as vaguely as I can so as not to spoil anything.
Enterprise's first three seasons featured Daniels and the Temporal Cold war. Future Proof ties this game into several episodes of Enterprise that featured this war, as well as one, perhaps two episodes of The Next Generation, one of which, if I'm right, also ties to Enterprise. Basically they've done it in a very clever way because your character is inadvertently the cause of the Temporal Cold War which starts in the 25th Century timeline, features heavily in Enterprise's 22nd Century, and ends in an epic battle in the 27th Century as was seen on Enterprise and which you will get to participate in.
I'd say these episodes have been the best written episodes since STO was launched. The way they've knitted two TV shows together with the game has been great. I strong recommend completing them because the latest/last one ties this game into a linchpin episode of Enterprise's story. I also recommend watching Enterprise so the story makes more sense. My only negative view is, as I said in another thread, the fact they didn't tie Agents of Yesterday into this story directly, rather than dressing it up as a new faction which it clearly isn't. It was a missed opportunity.
You accuse him of bold face lies, yet you are no better.
Nobody stopped the Suliban Cabal, yes some of their plans were foiled but that's pretty much it. The last interaction known with the Suliban Cabal was when Silik stowed away on the Enterprise to steal the plans for the Na'kuhl's temporal conduit. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest the organization ceased to exist or was disbanded.
Besides the fact its point blank stated in ENT the Temporal Cold war ended, and the fact they never showed up or did anything at any other point in time.
IIRC, its even mentioned in the STO mission " The Helix" that the Cabal is long since gone(as it would be since they lacked the ability to time travel and Archer ended the war before they could ever get their hands on the means to time travel.)
But lets ignore facts for your rampant headcanon
Are you seriously trying to argue in linear time with a story arc that involves time travel?
Yeah, Daniels told Archer the Temporal Cold War was ending after Archer defeated Vosk. However, for the player the TCW did NOT end with the defeat of Vosk, in fact it was only the beginning.
In a Time War, anything can happen.
"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid." - Q
it has been flat out stated in Enterprise that the temporal cold war is over and all of the enemies have been defeated and the suliban even says the cabal is no more.
Yet here we are involved in a time war so I have no idea whats going on now
I to have also read somewhere that, the future guy from enterprise was suppose to be Archer from the future who wants to kill is young self or something along those lines I think or could be wrong on that in Season 5 of Enterprise if it wasn't cancelled
it has been flat out stated in Enterprise that the temporal cold war is over and all of the enemies have been defeated and the suliban even says the cabal is no more.
Yet here we are involved in a time war so I have no idea whats going on now
Time travel, from Daniel's perspective ... that last scene could have been after all the players stuff.
True on that, what we see with Daniels and Archer with Daniels saying that the time war is over could be the true ending of the Time War but we the players haven't gotten to that point yet since we haven't gotten to that time period... ugh I have a head ache now with time travel thoughts
Its time travel. none of it makes sense, arguing over it is silly.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
If only there were some race of all powerful beings that could control times ebb and flow in ways unimagined by the lower races... ones with very silly hats.
Very silly hats.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

-and the battle against the Sphere Builders is an ongoing
Have you played the new missions at all? or do you know anything about Star Trek Lore? Because everything you said is a bold faced lie
-The Suliban can't time travel, just like their master, Future Guy, is said to be unable to time travel. And the Suliban Cabal was stopped back in ENT's time. Also, we did see the Suliban in one of the new missions, during the ENT era, where they belong.
-We got the Na'Khul's leader to retreat back in time, to be killed by Archer, we ourselves killed the Na'Khul's second leader, and we went back in time, or were in the past, to stop the Na'Khul's attempts to change history. The Na'Khul are literally as stopped as possible.
-The Sphere Builders are stated in ENT to be ultimately defeated in the battle of Procyon V, a battle we help win for the Alliance. And Archer and the crew of the NX already stopped their plans to alter the past via the Delphic expanse and manipulating the Xindi.
The ONLY thing you said that remotely true is about Leeta still being around. But I know I shouldn't expect any form of honesty on the STO forums.
I never said that the Suliban can time travel. But they were a faction in the TCW and an episode that takes place in Archer's time where we encounter them would be within reasonable expectations. We are time travelling after all. Have you actually played the episodes? Or are you just assuming that because I mention a species or a faction that they must operate on their own?
As for the Na'kuhl: yes, their leader was removed from power so to say. But he's not the only Na'kuhl and even after he was removed, the Na'kuhl kept fighting us. Again, have you actually played the episodes?
The fight against the Sphere builders is an ongoing one because they are active in countless dimensions (hence why we can repeat the queued mission much the same like how T'ket keeps fighting us in the queued missions).
Once again: have you played the episodes?
If you did, you'd know that the so-called dishonesty that you accuse me of is just assumptions from your side and you actually show a remarkable lack of knowing the episodes that are relevant here.

Maybe this was already asked, but I thought it was Cal Dano who was found dead in Enterprise. Daniels was a Temporal Agent. I'm gonna have to go binge watch Enterprise again.

Once again: have you played the episodes?
If you did, you'd know that the so-called dishonesty that you accuse me of is just assumptions from your side and you actually show a remarkable lack of knowing the episodes that are relevant here.
A. WE DID get an episode set in archer's time where we encounter them, did you not play Vorgon Conclusions? Did you miss the cutscene where we see them and the Enterprise?
B. Did you not play Temporal Reckoning? You know the mission were we see the assembled leaders of each respective faction all in one place, and were we outright killed the new Na'Khul leader? And what do we see of the Na'Khul after that? Nothing except a few stragglers who had already left with Noye to go to Procyon V.
C.
1. The Sphere Builders operate across universes. They are only active in two dimensions, their own subspace plane, and that of normal space.
2. The new queue has nothing to do with different universes, its all set in ours. We can replay is because its a game, just like we can kill the same crystalline entity a million times.
3. Even if you have to headcanon your own lore reason for the queue, its because Noye attacked Procyon V in our, singular, unvierse many times.
4. When we remove the literally made up idea of every instance of the queue takes place in another unvierse, which you mistakenly labeled dimensions, you would know that the Sphere builders are STILL defeated there regardless, just like is said in ENT, and just like we accomplish in-game.
For someone asks so often if others have played the episodes, you really don't seem to have a firm grasp of anything that happened in them.
A: A cutscene that is a literal repeatance of an actual TV episode is not what I consider a mission with the Suliban. We just watched there, there was no actual involvement of them or any kind of interaction. It's meaningless.
B: Again just assumptions. The Na'kuhl are not just one or two persons, and the death of those two individuals doesn't mean that 'the Na'kuhl' are no longer involved in things.
C2: There's no point in discussing in-game events if you're going to say that 'it's just a game, so nothing has to be logical or explained otherwise'. But if you want to evade the whole issue by using this cheap excuse, then I'm fine with that. Though I can't help but wonder what the point of this entire discussion would be then.
C1, 3 and 4: Dimensions, alternate universes, subspace planes: forgive me the lack of accuracy, but such technical details are just that: details and the point was that the Sphere builders are not defeated. Even if the Spheres in this universe were entirely destroyed, their allies still possess the ability to time travel and bring it all back. Which was already pointed out by someone else: keep in mind that we're not dealing with something lineair here.
Further, the only thing stated in Enterprise is that the Federation and its allies won the battle and drove the Sphere builders back into their own realm. Beyond that, nothing was said about the Sphere builders or whether they were entirely defeated so again, assuming that they're defeated and unable to launch a new assault because we managed to thwart their plans when they invaded our dimension is just that: an assumption, not supported by any canon.
It's the same thing when people say that we defeated the Collective. We did no such thing, we managed to push back an invasion force. We don't know anything about what remaining forces they have because we've only encountered an expedition force.
