Who were the two blue messengers, members of the order of istari. From the book of unfinished tales I can gather the following -

'Of the Blue little was known in the West, and they had no names save 'Ithryn Luin', the Blue Wizards, for they passed into the west with Curunir (saruman), but they never returned, and whether they remained in the East, pursuing there the purposes for which they were sent; or perished, or as some hold were ensnared by Sauron and became his servants, it is not known'.

The passage goes on to mention that it was not impossible for them to be corrupted. Later, the book tells that the istari were most likely to be maiar. And the maiar that came during the first age to abroad were turned into the surface of Morgoth. Now, if the Istari were Maiar, then the Blue Wizards could have become Balrogs, corrupted Maiar.
