There has been a hint. The Chosen first started appearing right after Wendis died, and it is reasonable to believe there is a correlation there. Now, the exact nature of the relationship is open to debate. It should be noted that the divine beings had already implied strongly that everything is going according to some grander scheme, Simon's situation itself being strongly manipulated. Allalon hints at this as well, asking Simon how many women near him ended up corruped with him left with no recourse but to take them (Aka, Hilstara, Carina)

Also, take Aka's dialogue about the development of souls (or hers in particular) where she mentions how strongly even small events can affect them, it stands to reason that the Chosen as they are were used as a means to push Simon toward a certain direction (where he had previously been content to take a supportive background role he has since become much more pro-active)

There was also mention by the divine beings that they were more or less enslaved somehow, or at least some where in the past, I'm guessing that means Simon is part of at least one of their ploys to combat the forces that move against them.
