Judging by context clues, it seemed like the Black Sky was supposed to be what the Iron Fist was to the Chaste; their leader, their most powerful warrior, and able to manipulate chi in some form.

And apparently there was also a prophecy about the Black Sky that was convincing enough for Alexandra to risk it all on Elektra. But sadly we never got any of that background. Main thing she risked was all of the resources necessary to revive someone, which was what they were trying to get more of under New York. They might've expected there to be resistance against them digging, so they needed someone to protect them.
