Best Answer
As far as we can tell, this character was invented for the show, though the writers don't seem to think so.
In the end credits, the character is identified as Scimitar:
Although the writers claim that this character is a "big DC universe character", there's no DC character I could find named Scimitar. There is a Marvel character named scimitar that bears some resemblance to the character in this show, but I doubt that's who they intended.
It's also possible they just got the character's name wrong.
