I think Ellen and her brother were still alive during the enslavement by the Holy Knights. They perhaps passed away during the incident. The village definitely exists and the citizens are mostly ordinary humans. You shouldn't really expect Nakaba to think of something so twisted and complex which doesn't make sense. Something probably happened to them before their death, allowing them to be like the gate-keepers of the Capital of the Dead.
