Who Was The Person At The End Of The Mandalorian Chapter 5?

The hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian loves to lob mystery after mystery at us with every episode, and the fifth was no different. Case in point: Who the heck is the person who discovers Fennec Shand's body at the end? We can hazard a few guesses.

The episode was something of a love letter to Star Wars fans, as it returned us to where it all started: the desert planet of Tatooine, where "Mando" heads to get his ship repaired after it sustains damage in a dogfight with another bounty hunter.

After leaving adorable lil' Baby Yoda in the care of mechanic Peli Motto, Mando heads to a very familiar cantina looking for work. There, he finds Toro Calican, a guild member who just happens to be posted up at the very same table where a certain Rodian bounty hunter met his end so very long ago. He offers to split the take if Mando will help him bring in his bounty: Fennec Shand, a notorious assassin who has apparently made enemies of the wrong people.

Of course, it turns out that Calican isn't telling the whole truth. He's not exactly a member of the guild, but he sure wants to be, and hauling in Shand is his ticket in. He offers to give Mando all of the dough to assist in bringing in the extremely dangerous, hardened killer and while our hero is just a bit hesitant, well, money talks.

After meeting back at the mechanic's, the two set out on speeder bikes, and it doesn't take them long to find and corner Shand, who puts up a heck of a fight, but is eventually subdued by the power of deception and teamwork. Unfortunately, Mando now has a bigger problem: Shand, in attempting to convince Calican to free her so they can team up to kill Mando and get custody of Baby Yoda, instead convinces him to blast her so that he can attempt the double-cross on his own.

This endeavor doesn't go well for the inexperienced bounty hunter. After a confrontation back at the mechanic's, Mando manages to get the better of Calican, and use the credits he had on him to pay the mechanic for his ship's repairs. He and Baby Yoda continue their flight but somebody knows they've been there. We see Shand's (presumably) dead body being approached and examined by an unknown party, dressed all in black with a long, flowing cape and what looks like a blaster on their hip. Who this mysterious person? We have a few ideas. Keep watching the video as we try and guess who was the person at the end of The Mandalorian chapter 5?
