Will there be "named" OpFor & Enemy Characters?

This is a bit of a double question but it just popped into my head.

In the story campaign will you usually be fighting against "Directorate Lance no#701" or will we get a bit more meat and be sent on a headhunting mission to eliminate Captain Adams, CO of the 3rd Boreal Vault Training Company in order to hamper the Directorates ability to train more forces.

And of course this brings me to the second part of the question, I assume that as an end of game boss we will fight Victoria Espinosa because her character write up screams nemesis, but will we actually fight named opponents before hand or will the characters be more like Mel Sturgis from the single player preview and simply be pop up boxes and the actual opponents be stock.
 
Other than Santiago and Victoria Espinosa, no other Directorate characters have been announced. I guess we will have to wait and see if another trailer unveils something, or the game itself after it launches.
 
Even the super pre-alpha worked proper names into the mission. The mission intro gave you a small narrative about Colonel X being a retired Regulan Hussars commander, etc.
So I would imagine the same sort of attention to detail is involved in all other missions.
 
I'd love for there to be recurring OpFor commanders. Even some that you wind up working with later, because "Hey, we're all professionals just doing a job." Maybe they hold a grudge, maybe they become friends. Maybe you don't know which and you have to sweat a little when they are supposed to be watching your six...
