Paleus shares the following information on the Dark Ones the night after clearing the monastery.
Dark Ones are native to the Shadowfell. They are sly, murderous creatures clad in black garments. They come to the world with sinister schemes, take and learn what they can, and slink back into the gloom.
The rogue you just encountered was good at getting in cheap shots with his dagger. He could pop out of hiding, dash about unharmed (+AC vs opportunity attacks), and plant his dagger where it hurt. He was dressed in all black. All of his metal gear was made of the foreign "steel".
Dark Ones live among shadar-kai much the way halflings find their place among populations of humans, dwarves and elves. Dark Ones prefer to dwell in homes that are at least partially underground.
You have a strong suspicion that these people are arming the bad guys. The one in the monastery was there for a reason. They are probably helping the Orcs with more than just weapons, but it's unclear what their role or purpose are. They want something and are using the Orc army to get it.
The Shadar-kai are a race of shadow assassins in the service of the Raven Queen.
(((Paleus seems to know an aweful lot about these things.)))
