GURPS describes them as "once proud human warriors" in its history, and in the Myrmidon section itself, "Centuries ago, all the might of the Dark stood powerless before the might of the Light's Myrmidons...". It goes on to say that Balor, unable to beat them, swayed them to his side with the promise of immortality.

If Balor couldn't beat them, Connacht probably couldn't either. They kicked major ass, apparently. Of course, Balor had nothing at that time, while Connacht had the entire armies of the Light with him by the end of M3.
