I think "them" are the "hallucinations", or whatever creatures may control them. Basically, I don't think that "they" are things whose identities we even know OUT of context.

To the person who replied and talked about chess, Maxwell SAID "Even the king is bound to the board" - MAXWELL is the "king", but he's still just a piece being controlled by the real "player" - the "player" here being The Player's OPPONENT, the one working AGAINST Wilson (or whatever player character is used).
