Posted in a different thread but will chuck it here as well.
Let's see, he knows about Crisis, he has the (seeming, although I will get to that in a bit) ability to travel through time, he's (seemingly) invulnerable to physical harm, he's a brilliant scientist, he's not a youngster, and from the online images of TRF, he's not him. So, who is he ?
Well, one guy fits that bill, and crucially, Harrison has even let the cat out of the bag himself in ep 2. "I am a Pariah".
From DC comics, the character of "Pariah" was one of the pivotal characters in Crisis, and would therefore certainly know about it.
He's also invulnerable to physical harm, which explains why even after offscreen being trapped under debris, he is quite alright. Imo the wheelchair bit is simply to avoid answering awkward questions.
He's also a brilliant scientist, whose experiments to view the dawn of time indirectly led to Crisis after he inadvertently opened the anti-matter portal to the dawn of time instead. So in a slight turnaround, for The Flash TV show, his experiment with the reactor indirectly led to the creation of Flash, Firestorm, and the rest after the reactor opened a dimensional barrier.
He's also able to "time-travel" sort of, since he can teleport to the focal point of any catastrophic event. This would also explain why he is seemingly "stuck" at present.
He's imo of a similar age to Cavanagh, has a passing resemblance to him, and crucially, Wells has even said that he is a Pariah.
Just about more than anyone, because of The Flash's role in Crisis, Pariah would be one person who would try his best to guide The Flash into the hero he is meant to become, and also try his best to keep him "safe" by any means necessary until such time as The Flash does (in Crisis) what he is meant to do.
If Wells is not Pariah, I will be utterly amazed.
