A lot of the background Star Wars material is building up something out in the unknown regions/wild space
things like the third book of Aftermath and Thrawn are talking of something out in Wild Space completely separate from the Core's politics and I think they're building that to be Snoke's background
He is Snoke and nobody else.
Controversial, but I believe he is a 100% original, new character.
He is no more Mace Windu or Darth Whatever than general Hux is the grandson of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

I lean towards his being a completely new character as well, but that raises the question: where has he been up to now?

I prefer the idea that he's a new character. I also understand why people think he could be the Emperor's former teacher

He'd have to hide very far away from Yoda -- except that Palpatine worked his way up the ladder right under everyone's noses. So who knows
I definitely do not think he is Mace Windu. Could be Jar Jar, I suppose

New character. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Every day is a gift, not a given right.
I'll die on Snoke Jar Jar.

Yeah, I think he's a new character. Perhaps someone Palpatine had in training somewhere in secret, but possibly betrayed and thought destroyed or something, hence why he's not a Sith but rather started a new order.
"They can be a great people Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you. My only son." - Jor-El
Snoke is Snoke, a new character from the Unknown Regions.
My guess is that he's Darth Plagueis
Plagueis was Palpatine's Teacher. His specialty was force control. Specifically healing
- Palpatine supposedly killed Plagueis in his sleep. Plagueis probably went into some sort of coma and it took a while to put himself back together
- In the book, (although I'm a bit sketchy) The test Plagueis gave to Palpatine was to kill his father. Kylo Ren followed those footsteps.
- Plagueis was referred to as "The Wise" Snoke was also regarded as wise
- It was said Plagueis is going to be a new character.
The Plagueis novel is part of the legends continuity, it's not part of the new canon.
