Whether or not it was indeed Loki-in-disguise has not been answered.

Andrew Forson

Andrew Forson is the sixth character within A.I.M. to use the title of Scientist Supreme. The character first appeared in Fantastic Four #610 and was created by Jonathan Hickman and Ryan Stegman.
Forson was the Scientist Supreme of A.I.M. after the organization became public and established their base in the now-sovereign island nation of Barbuda and overthrew the Wizard with consent of the rest of A.I.M.. Barbuba was then renamed A.I.M. Island.
Forson appears as the Supreme Leader of the new High Council of A.I.M., consisting of Graviton, Jude the Entropic Man, Mentallo, Superia, the female Super-Adaptoid, and the undercover Taskmaster. Forson then leads A.I.M. into attending a weapons expo, which led to A.I.M. fighting against the Secret Avengers. During the battle, Forson takes the opportunity to steal the Iron Patriot armor. Daisy Johnson launched an unsanctioned operation to send the Secret Avengers to A.I.M. Island to assassinate Forson, and the group seemingly killed him. Despite Johnson ending up suspended for breaking protocol and Maria Hill being put in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. again, Forson was revealed to be alive all along, and the news of A.I.M. being a new permanent member of the Security Council is known.
Forson finds Superia badly injured after an incident on A.I.M. Island regarding an escaped creature. An A.I.M. Agent then approaches Forson and Superia, showing the two a 2-D hologram of the organism beating the Avengers. Taking pride in this, Forson orders their translocator activated and to retrieve their "lost child". When Taskmaster is shot and seemingly killed by Mockingbird now under Forson's control, Forson revealed that Mockingbird was secretly working for Forson years ago, and that he used Mockingbird to "get Victorious out of the way" so that he could take over the Cult of Entropy. Forson also uses Adaptoids from an alternate reality to combat the Avengers. Using an unidentified device, Forson and A.I.M. accelerate the flow of time in the limits of A.I.M. Island, creating in a matter of hours for the real world year of progress and transforming A.I.M. into a technologically advanced empire. When Smasher comes to the island, Forson has Jude the Entropic Man transform her into his messenger.
Forson is an experienced scientist with genius-level intellect.
