I think that character might be Gino's ancestor, if they're even related at all...and, just as well, maybe the long-haired guy isn't really Lelouch but his great grandfather or something, who must have come up with a complicated plan of some sort involving Geass and whatever crazy concepts are going to be used in the story (insert stuff like time travel, reincarnation, etc. etc.).

This is all pure speculation, of course, but now that this manga has been formally introduced as a "prologue" and so forth, it's what I've deduced so far.

True, but keep in mind that Geass users should be able to reach that "fully developed" Geass...and, what's more, if Emperor Lelouch gained the Code at the end of R2 (as per the popular fan theory) he would have immediately lost his Geass in exchange for immortality. This guy...still has Geass.
...Just so you know, I'm not of those fans who believe in the "Lelouch became immortal theory". I have my reasons, but they're off-topic here, so I'll just say that I'm open to the possibility that the Lelouch in the picture might be the actual Lelouch. Though I have strong doubts on that as well, mainly because of that girl shown in the color pages next to Le-like (my nickname for him until definite confirmation), who seems connected to him somehow, suggesting that he is, in fact, a new and different character. (But, either way, I think I'll just wait for the manga's story to unfold before passing judgment on any of that.)
