We've heard of Imperial Inquisitors before, but mostly by allusion in the EU. This particular character appears to be a member of the Pau'an species first seen in Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. Another point of interest included confirmation that the series will be set fourteen years after the events of Episode III - or approximately five years before Episode IV - A New Hope.
The official Star Wars site has the full details of the panel, including a behind-the-scenes video from Dave Filoni.
