The third season promises of a reappering villain that will certainly keep the Arrow busy with full-time crime fighting. The latter part of the synopsis reveals the Arrow unable to live his life as Oliver Queen because of the new villain.
"A deadly villain reappers in Starling, forcing Oliver to realize that he can never be Oliver Queen – not as long as the city needs The Arrow," the latter part of the synopsis reads.
This "deadly villain" hasn't been revealed yet but there are already speculations that it will be Count Vertigo. In the original comic line, Count Vertigo is a fallen aristocrat from Eastern Europe who regains his power through organized crime. It is highly likely that the series is aiming for the same plotline.
