Warriors of Darkness

[TribalReturns]

What's up with these guys? I remember them being in ARR opening cutscene and I think they made a brief appearance in Answers as well. What strikes me as odd is in the original cutscene they appear to be peaceful and since it's a perfect combination of races/classes I figured they were meant to represent a generic party i.e. a group of Player Characters. But fast forward to Heavensward and it appears Square has to decided to give them an identity. I remember seeing the Warrior in a cutscene with the Ascian on what appeared to be Eorzeas moon. So, is anyone else puzzled by their origins/motives or can anyone shed some light? (No pun intended)
