Who were the Hyksos?

The term "Hyksos" derives from the Egyptian expression heka khasewet ("rulers of foreign lands"), used in Egyptian texts such as the Turin King List to describe the rulers of neighbouring lands. This expression begins to appear as early as the late Old Kingdom in Egypt, referring to various Nubian chieftains; and as early as the Middle Kingdom, referring to the Semitic chieftains of Syria and Canaan. It is generally accepted that only the six kings of the Fifteenth Dynasty are properly to be called "Hyksos", because not only do they bear Egyptian royal titles, but they are specifically called Hyksos by Manetho. The Turin Canon king list also states there were 6 Hyksos or 'heka khasewet' rulers but only 4 of them are known with any certainty: Sakir-Har, Khyan, Apophis and Khamudy. Khyan and Apophis are by far the best attested kings of this dynasty whereas Sakir-Har is attested by only a single door jamb from Avaris which bears his royal titulary.
The names, the order, and even the total number of the Fifteenth Dynasty rulers are not known with any certainty. The names appear in hieroglyphs on monuments and small objects such as jar lids and scarabs. In those instances in which Prenomen and Nomen do not occur together on the same object, there is no certainty that the names belong together as the two names of a single person.
Manetho's history of Egypt is known only through the works of others, such as Against Apion by Flavius Josephus. These sources do not list the names of the six rulers in the same order. To complicate matters further, the spellings are so distorted that they are useless for chronological purposes; there is no close or obvious connection between the bulk of these names — Salitis, Beon or Bnon, Apachnan or Pachnan, Annas or Staan, Apophis, Assis or Archles — and the Egyptian names that appear on scarabs and other objects.
Three otherwise unknown Hyksos pharaohs are mentioned in archaeological remains. The hieroglyphic names of these Fifteenth Dynasty rulers exist on monuments, scarabs, and other objects.
1.   Sa-kha-en-ra Shalik (Each name is only found separately.)
2.   Mer-woser-ra Yaqub-har (Both names are found together on one scarab.) The element Yaqub is the same Hebrew/Canaanite name as Biblical Jacob.
3.   The "Heka-khasewet Sakir-Har"
