Actually, Episode II already strongly implied his identity. You just need to put the hints in the film together to figured out. (as a side note: Van Helsing from Van Helsing is implied to be Gabriel the Angel)

But people who watch it for the first time, didn't knew it. Sure we, who knew who he is already knew it. But the new comers, didn't. This question can only answered if you look from the show's new comer's pov.
