Whoever Mikkelsen is playing - one of the best rumours suggests he's actually a fore-runner of Dormammu, but his powers already seem impressive enough to make him a threat in his own right - he's not alone.

The two alongside him makes it seem like all three are followers of the same sect (hence the eye "make-up). Maybe those burnt eye-sockets are a nod towards Dormammu's flaming head - perhaps they're disciples of the creature searching for a way to unleash his evil on Earth.
