I checked the novel and read some spoilers in a forum and he's Lohan, the king of a foreign land called Croa. He and Asher are allies and supports each otherヾ(☆▽☆)
I think he wasn't really a 2nd lead and he doesn't like Aria romantically (I'm not sure about that fact but many readers claimed that and his attitude towards Aria during the epilogue supports it.) but he uses her to make fun of Asher by making him jealous.

MAJOR SPOILERS
And apparently, Aria's biological father, Chloe, is a son of a marquise in Croa. Due to many conflicts, he was forced to leave Aria's mother, He didn't also knew they had a child. When Asher met Chloe, he had speculations of the paternity because of Aria's similarities to him so one thing led to another, and Lohan was one who witnessed things unfold while also helping a bit.
Lohan had involvement in the plot more than just as a bystander tho. He has a major contribution in the fall of the aristocrats and Princess Iris, but I'll leave it at that (I don't wanna spoil too much so let's just wait for it :>).
Oh and if anybody wanna read the novel, support the author in Web Novel! https://www.webnovel.com/book/the-villainess-turns-the-hourglass_14752233005509405 . This has locked chapters but I really hope people would try to support the author in the official websites, if they can (๑•ㅂ•)و✧.
Like everyone else I'm here waiting for that new CHAPTER XD but I don't know if the same thing is happening for everybody but for me I found it pretty funny that as soon as mangago started to work again mangadex is acting STUPID
