Traveling Mage NPC?

Trying to figure out which mod on a new playthrough has added "Traveling Mage" NPCs to Whiterun - one standing by the well and one in the Drunken Huntsman. There are also Monks and Farmers in other cities. There's an option to talk to them, but nothing happens. Do they have a purpose that I'll uncover at some point? Thanks!
