Where is the information about the authors for articles stored?

Post authors are stored in the wp_posts table under the post_author column. Check the database description. The author in that table is stored as an ID number which references the ID in the wp_users table. Additional user information is kept in the wp_usermeta table.

I have no idea what you may have to do to get that synced up with the plugin.
