if he's a wannabe then he's probably read a poker article or two, in which case his raise looks like he's ready to play his hand. He raised 4x's when he was in position AND (maybe more importantly) he was sure to make it look like he wasn't betting $4 (even though he essentially was). This is definitely a raise for value and i'd even guess that he's looking to get it all in on the flop. in other words, i think he's at the very least calling a 3bet.
as for his range for calling/jamming after a 3bet, we're 50% against sets, and there's gotta be AT LEAST a one percent chance he's got something else in his range. I definitely think villain is happy getting QQ+ and 76s all in on the flop. this disagrees with your read, but then again you also said that both you and your opponent were unknowns to each other, so i think this read is hasty and a little overly cautious
