Who are the people in the opening sequence of Mr Robot episode 1 season 1?
When the series starts, in the first scene, we see a group of people in the shadows discussing, as Elliot is narrating about the top 1% of the top 1%. In those people, I can only identify Tyrell Wellick.
Has anyone else from that scene been visualised as a character in the first two seasons? Is there a plan for them?

There’s a powerful group of people out there that are secretly running the world. I’m talking about the guys no one knows about, the guys that are invisible. The top 1% of the top 1%, the guys that play God without permission. And now I think they’re following me.
This scene at the beginning of the first episode of Mr. Robot, 'eps1.0_hellofriend.mov', is continued at the very end, and the start of the second episode: it is the group of men awaiting the arrival of Elliot Alderson (the man on the far left strangely seems to be missing in the later scenes, though).
We have a clearer picture of them at the start of episode 2, however:
Apart from Tyrell Wellick, not one of them is recognizable as a recurring character - which is logical, considering who they are. They are introduced to Elliot by Wellick:
I'm sorry to bring you in like this: technically what we're doing might be considered illegal, which is why I'm surrounded by eleven of our most annoying lawyers.

What is the first episode of Mr. Robot about?
Robot wasn't real; he was a personality Elliot constructed based on his own father, Edward Alderson. Elliot had (and has) Dissociative Identity Disorder, meaning that like Elliot, it was tough for us to trust what we were seeing in the show at any point. As it turns out, Elliot wasn't just an unreliable narrator\u2026Is anyone real in Mr. Robot?
The first personality, the protector personality, was created the day Elliot jumped out the window. This personality was created to replace his father to protect him from intolerable situations - the person Elliot named as Mr. Robot. The second personality, the prosecutor, was Elliot's mother personality.hellofriend.mov | Mr. Robot
