While they are part of the Circle of Knowing, I don't think Y'shtola, Yda, Papalymo, or Thancred are ever mentioned with the title of Archon. The only two within the Circle of Knowing to hold the title of Archon are Loiusoix and Urianger. On many occasions do NPCs refer to Louisoix as Archon Louisoix, much like NPCs reffered to Ahldbhar as Archon Ahldbhar. Urianger gets the same treatment.

The other four in the Circle of Knowing may just be pupils of Louisoix, hence why they seem to know less than their leader and why Urianger and Louisoix seem to know quite a great deal as to the things happening in the realm - They have previous experience with it.

Yeah, I argued this point quite a bit in the past because it's never stated they're Archons in game, but SE went ahead and made them so. We don't know if there is any criteria to become an Archon, whether that be born in Sharlayan and taught certain knowledge to one day take over a vacant Archon spot or if it's somehow a chosen thing.

Possibly, you can't really see his neck no matter how much you rotate the camera. Nor do we even know if all Archons have the mark. If it's a magical mark, maybe he removed it himself when he left to join the sorcerers. Who knows.

I just wanted to point out this mysterious and lonely Roegadyn off in the corner by himself. Peering into a picture and contemplating his "Master..." even if it's just some random Thaumaturge Roegadyn I'd like to know who he is. After all Hellsguard Roegadyn are good with magic, Sea Wolf (which he looks like) were more like pirates and prefer to beat people to a pulp physically. Just seems mysterious to me even if it's nothing.
