While it can always be said in Star Wars that the Empire represents the villainous side of things, we do get at least tend to get a face - even if its hidden by a mask - for the hero to battle.

We do get a new masked foe here - it's been speculated this might be Moloch, a name that leaked during production, but that's unconfirmed at present - who is in at least a couple of scenes. He's the one in the desert setting preparing for a showdown with Han, while in the Super Bowl teaser he can be seen fighting Becket on some kind of train.

The main villain might still be hidden away, and we don't know one way or another how Paul Bettany's gangster fits in, but going off this trailer than this masked character is the movie's villain, and a formidable seeming one at that, especially as he appears to be the ruler of a gang of some sort.
