First of all, I am sorry for the big image size. I was looking in the some of screen shots which came included in Diablo 3 website kit and I found one that I had not come around. Although this post might be redundant I want to know if the warrior/knight looking people in the image might possibly be mercenaries? They probably are but I just want to know.
they call them "Followers" now.. i think thats the name anyways, but yeah blizzard just makes their characters invisible so they can show what they want in these screenshots.. i've read that somewhere so dont ask me for source, i know what i read.
It's been said that the mercenarys will have their own backstory, so I kind of doubt these are them.
This particular picture looks more like a random encounter to be honest.

I'm totally going with Ranim on this, it looks and smells like a scripted event. Probably NPC's engaging monsters while your passing through. (Sort of like the Barbs from Bloody Foothills on Mount Arreat) Hopefully they got smarter in D3. However I wouldn't discount the possibility of one of them (Leader maybe) joining you as a full fledged Merc. It could give a nice intro to a backstory for the Follower.

I actually made a suggestion thread a long while ago about Mercenarys and quite a few things from my idea turned up in indirect comments about the new "followers"
They appear to be soldiers.

Yes, Barbarians can use shields, crazy i know... let me guess, you used to play D&D before you discovered Diablo 3 ?

They look like low-armor militia to me, not full fighters.
