We were told the Stranger was a Steef in our very first introduction to him in the X-Factor special. From that, we gathered that Lorne wanted to let us grow attached to the Stranger before it was revealed to the player that he was a Steef, although the details and nomenclature was not known to us. We generally considered this to be an unwelcome spoiler, which is exactly what you're pointing out.
It's like the previews of Abe's Exoddus that made it blatently obvious that Mudokon Tears are an ingredient of SoulStorm Brew, but if you play the game it's rather obvious it's meant to be an unexpected plot twist.
The Q&A thread doesn't need a new incarnation. This incarnation was only created to combine the existing concept with the image request thread.
