Maybe before mankind, they governed other planets with life (like aliens or something). Their ability to shapeshift might have helped them communicate with extraterrestrial beings. Then the extraterrestrials died off and they went to earth. They might have also something to do with human history( e.g. WWII, Holocaust, Cold War). They could have shapeshifted into anyone, from normal people to important government officials.
