Maybe all the NPC's you encounter lived at one time and now since time distortion maybe it allows you to see them in your world. At one time I thought the armor sets you find was in fact where that specific person had expired. I'm going mad! Fire sorcery was the Witch's form of magic, but it was obliterated by the flame of chaos, so Quelana had to improvise and invent pyromancy to cope.

At least, that's what I think happened.

Also no, the Witch is that weird maggot like critter in the Bed of Chaos, two of her daughters make up the arms. The pyromancer that is encountered in the game is likely just one of Quelana's sisters gone mad, or perhaps just a random guy who was wandering the ruins.

You're at least partially correct on the npcs, many of them come from different time periods (Logan for example had been missing for one hundred years before the player encounters him for example). Though we can't really be certain wether or not all the npcs are from different times than the player.
