It seems the origin of this info is a new article by PC Gamer, in which they clearly state:

"Logan Thackeray represents the Guardian profession in GW2"

It is confirmed on the GW2Guru forums and on this blog post on GW2Guru, by the author of the article, Josh Augustine:

I even double-checked with them last week to make sure that it was okay to post it now, and they confirmed that it was.

IMPORTANT: I do not know anything beyond that. Whether this is the profession that ArenaNet said they would be revealing in January, or how the Guardian class plays or any details about it, or when ArenaNet is planning to reveal more information. All I know is that Logan Thackeray is a Guardian, which will be a profession, and that he's the man in that image.

Regina Buenaobra herself also replied in that same thread, and confirmed it:

Glad you’re excited. :-) We’re excited as well. No need to kill your F5 keys over the weekend. We will have a full reveal of the guardian, along with all the goodies (pics, videos), next Thursday. :-)

So we now also have a date for the profession reveal... Thursday, January 27.

[Edit] for a bit of a preview what this class may look like, see this blog post which combines info from the EoD book (warning: spoilers!).
