I think Moridin was just another dupe of the DO

Was anyone else a bit disappointed with Moridin?
The past few books have hinted at his power, and his machinations, but he really had nothing to show for himself. His entire plan was basically to win the confrontation with Rand at Shayol Ghul. In principle, Moridin is the only true follower of the DO, but you would think he would have tried a bit harder to dethrone Rand earlier on.
Instead, he gave the other Forsaken a few orders here and there, with little effect, and seemingly just to satisfy his pride and show off his Nae'blis-ness.

He believed what he was told just like the others. He's been such an offscreen player since he became Moridin. Personally I think a lot of posters on the boards had these awesome theories about what he was up to off screen and that got us all thinking he would be more than the books really told us he would be. I think Graendal/Hessalam was the most effective forsaken throughout the entire series and her role in AMOL just sealed that opinion for me. Demandred was pretty much Sammael all over again with a little more screen time during a fight, but despite the Sharan twist he didn't really add much to the onscreen experience.

Demandred and Graendal were the only two effective Forsaken, really.

I am disappointed that we didn't have more on screen time from Demandred
