Truth be told, that is one of the hardest things ever. Definitely give him a title as a reference point. Sometimes a title works just as well as an actual name. For example: "The Dark-Haired man" could refer to a specific character whose name we don't know. Something like that. Be very careful to be specific and make it as obvious as possible who is doing what at which times. Without a name for a character, you will want it to be obvious when he/she is speaking or making an action, just so you don't confuse your readers. I hope this helps!
