Maybe he is a representaion of the will of Jack's ancestors?

I mean, we see him twice in the first episode, after he chooses to ignore the smoke (which came from the burnt village) and when he is seen for the third time in that episode, he's standing behind the dead children, as if he is criticizing Jack for refusing to help them immediately, meaning that Jack could have saved at least some of them if he had gotten there sooner.

In the second episode, we see him right before Jack decides to run to the temple, an act which can only be done if Jack has enough "will".

In the third episode, we see him when Jack is weak and losing a lot of blood, Jack sees him the moment he stops, and decides to move again after finding out that this mysterious figure is following him, it could mean that the "Rider" is trying to force him to move and find shelter by scaring him, because otherwise, he'll die.

Hey, but that's just a theory... 'A SAMURAI JACK THEORY!'
