More info about the Advent and the Archon can be found on the XCOM2 site.

In XCOM 2, the ADVENT rules the world with a carrot-and-stick approach. The carrot is the gleaming, pristine city centers, with gene clinics that “cure” humanity’s diseases. The stick is the ADVENT and their troops. When playing XCOM 2, the ADVENT are some of the first enemies players will encounter in the game, and will continue fighting them throughout the campaign. On the art team, we wanted to create a look for the ADVENT that made them stand out from XCOM’s resistance soldiers. The XCOM troops are a guerilla group with a variety of looks and equipment, and so the ADVENT had to look starker and more uniform as faceless minions of alien masters. Overall, the ADVENT look was inspired by the angular shapes and matte blacks associated with stealthy military units. The basic colors of black, white, and red let us make stark, contrasting visual designs and differentiate the different types of ADVENT troops. With this, our gameplay objective is met, and that the ADVENT are visually distinctive from XCOM’s soldiers, while saying something about the world and how the aliens chose to make their soldiers look intimidating.

In other news, if you pre-purchase the game you get the resistance warrior pack as a bonus.

Customize your squad of resistance fighters with bonus outfits, headgear, and custom facial war paint. Instantly unlock a survivor of the old war as a recruit in your barracks.

Thanks Eye.
