I'm only 1/3 through so there may be stuff further on that proves me wrong. However I believe we have been shown demandred's alter ego - at least 1 -consider he may have more than 1! The scene where rand returns to the stone and lines up the high lords and ladies. Weirmon and the lady can't stand the light eminating from rand, and rand can see into them through their eyes. I think weirmon is demandred. Min assumed that they were just darkfriends-rand didn't say that-indeed whatever he was about to say further was cut off when he saw Tam. This light vs dark effect doesn't work with the low level df's we know are still around rand or even BA-his connection with the light affects those who have an intimate connection with the DO (forsaken). So weirmon is a male forsaken-there is only 1 other male besides moridin-and that's demandred.
RJ said that as of CoT(I think...WH at the earliest), we had not ever seen Demandred's alter ego. So he can't be Weirmon, since we met him in book 4. He is just a darkfriend.
My guess is Demandred is in Shara, and will begin aMoL sweeping across the waste with a huge force and lots of channies. Granted, I said that ToM would begin that way, so I could be wrong. But its the only place he could get a big enough force with enough channelers to challenge Rand on his own. And his primary reason for going to the shadow as to prove that he is a better general and channeler than LTT all on his own, so this is his last chance to prove that.
