What we do know is that Louie was the leader of the Archons. I always thought of them as something akin to a prophet, who had direct contact with the twelve. We saw the others pray at the stones and invoke the power of the twelve, so that appears to support my theory. Louie sending us through time also seems to be an instance of an archon calling upon the power of the twelve. Perhaps they each have contact with one of the twelve, but I don't recall there being 12 archons running about.
