Some questions (SotD, Xur, Shadows, The Nine) (Destiny)

Are light wielding guardians limited to human, awoken, exo?

Xur is a Jovian. And I couldn't help by draw multiple similarities between Xur, and the Hunter that threatened Drifter. Both have same shaped glowing yellow eyes, that hunter mask could totally contain them snake faces, both sounded very similar. Both dabble in weapons of light and dark(?) Both have similar clothes.

I don't know enough about the Shadows and lore in general...so these are all question/theories with no knowledge behind them.

Could Xur have been a Shadow?
Could the Shadows be Jovian?
Could Xur be all gnarled up because he got jacked up by dabbling too much with darkness?
Did he dabble too far and The Nine stopped him and his pittance is to provide weapons/armor of light to those who fight the darkness?

Xur has always been a mysterious creepy character...suddenly he is providing content that is telling the story of The Drifter, The Nine and The Shadows. That cant be a coincidence.

What's ol' snake face got to do with all of this?
