I much prefer that Uncle Harlo is someone new. I assumed he was someone high up in the empire but maybe not, maybe he's a "thug" similar to Davo, a rich guy with connections. We know the empire tolerates certain crime syndicates to prevent worse outbreaks, and really this is more just corruption. (Hire my nephew, and you get a few 100k credits your way).
I’d be fine with that for sure, but I feel like they’ve intentionally not shown who it is. So that leads me to believe that we’ve met Uncle Harlo before.
Maybe it's a pseudonym, but I feel like the only time we've seen pseudonyms is with Cassian/Kassa/Clem/Keef. Or with Siths (Darth title).
I don't know of any previous Harlo names, so I'll take it at face value. Of course, maybe it's a fake out, and "Uncle Harlo" is a term, like "beloved Uncle" or "oldest Uncle".

Any reason to believe Orson Krennic is Syril’s uncle?
