If you're like me and had an issue with the game hiding your operator behind the options in the character creation phase [because you messed up, didn't like the look of your operator or had an mouse input issue like I did] I have discovered a fix to help create a new operator. First you'll have to disconnect from the internet. The game download/uploads your saves via an UBISOFT cloud server.
Once disconnected make your way to the following directory.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\a8f05897-544b-4f39-a5ef-81914e20cf12\3559
The alpha-numeric string and subsequent numbered directory will probably be different but you will need to go to that last numbered directory.
Once in the last numbered directory, in my case 3559 - you will find a list of save files. They will be numbered as such 1.save, 1.save.upload and so on. I deleted all of these files but I'm guessing that if you only need to remake your second or third operator only remove those save files associated with them i.e 2.save, 2.save.upload and 3.save, 3.save.upload.
Now, start the game with the internet still disconnected, this will allow you the ability to create a new character without the issue of him/her being hidden behind the option tabs. Once created, exit the game to desktop and then reconnect your internet.
Restart the game. Once restarted, the launcher is going to display a SAVED GAME FILE out of sync message. Chose Local File, this is the save file you created while offline.
Once in the game, you can chose either CONTINUE CAMPAIGN or SELECT CAMPAIGN SAVE.
There may be a caveat to this, as mentioned before if you are looking to remake or recreate your secondary or third operator and you have deleted your second or third save files - I believe that this method may only recreate your first save file which is your first in-game GAME SLOT when using the SELECT CAMPAIGN SAVE option.
I do not have a secondary operator so I am not sure if this process works for your second or third game slots [second & third save files].
At this point, I only recreated my first operator and haven't fully checked the aforementioned issue as it is late and I really want to play. If any one else is willing to test whether or not the game only recreates the first save file and first in-game GAME SLOT please be my guest.
I may do some testing tomorrow to know for sure. In the mean time this is just one method to correct the hidden character issue.

This does seem to work - to clarify: the save game files are stored in the uplay folder (mine was stored somewhere else - and thus, totally different folders...)
When uplay started - and synced games - that's when I deleted the 3559 folder; and when I started Wildands, I got the "New Game" button...) - ubisoft REALLY needs to fix this crap. It's absolutely stupid they pushed this out without having it in the beta....
