No, neither Neuronist or Nigredo are part of an actual combat unit. Technically they do count as 'Area Guardians' since they are ostensibly the highest ranking NPC within thier respective area. Both areas are not strategic locations however, so they aren't really counted as such and neither Nigredo or Neuronist were designed for direct combat. They both could very likely put up more than a decent fight against most NW opponents... but would likely be very much in danger against any above average unified NW force; like a full party of Iron Rank or higher Adventurers or more. (They'd likely be able to seriously mess up an Iron Rank party, considering that both tend to focus on debuff type magics... but would probably get overrun without support of some type.)
