@RIOT, kindred, who are they?

With their voice over they seem to talk a lot about life and death, an emphasis being on death and all others being prey to them (kindred), who we assume are messengers or rulers of death. The story told by the lamb seems to infer that the man with the dark hair is death. So is kindred the man? Since the tale says that he split himself in two so he would never be alone, it would imply that the man is the two,

However the way the lamb tells the tale, the words used seem distant from the man, impersonal and indifferent, telling a tale of a legend passed through the ages instead of one witnessed. Are they just his subjects born from his act of splitting himself in half bound together by not being complete (their masks) without the other?

But then again the wolf asks to be told the story which the lamb reminds him of. Is this an act of remembrance? As if the act of being split is deteriorating his memory, naught but a fleeting light in the past the wolf seeks to be reminded?

Is the dark haired man only one of the spirits? If so is the man, the wolf? Seeking the aid of the lamb to nurture his wounded soul trying to retain his old self, but being lost in the hunt? or the lamb a kind spirit guiding the wolf through the land helping it seek the prey who should die to keep it from destroying needlessly, and in turn the wolf spirit returns the kindness and reminds the lamb spirit through having it tell tales of its past? If the man is only one of the spirits, is the other one an idea created from the split? or something else?

and going back to the first theory, are the two spirits struggling to remember who they are (if they are the man) and in turn help one another slowly losing their memory, struggling to keep it, but only knowing for a certainty that they are to rule over death?

I might be over thinking this but i cant stop arguing on the fact the man in the story they tell might not be kindred.

I have other questions like why they dont have an interaction with elise or yorick or mordekaiser, or is this related to darkins, or what is their interaction with the shadow isles but i guess ill get my first questions out of the way first
