I tend to take Graendal at her word and RJ at his when they express that she doesn't know who or where he is and the latter indicates there is no information we would have access to allowing us to figure this out.

I think he is just a lame duck, like many of the Forsaken. He seemed so infantile at the meeting towards the begining of the book that I think we may as well keep on the lookout but not be too surprised at how he falls. He seems more similar to Lanfear than Moridin in many ways. He's more dangerous than Mesaana but he literally broadcasts the ring in his nose that can be used to pull him. Let's get this straight: Semirhage is captured and now in big trouble because she injured Rand when those weren't her orders...and Demandred basically blurts out that he will be the one to kill him in front of Moridin. What a maroon. Pride tends to go before a fall, and Demandred has more than enough for any man.


You just raised an interesting point in my head. In the Age of Legends Demandred was considered an amazing general. However, wars were fought differently then. They had firearms, large scale troop transport vehicles and technological advances that would change the way war is waged. In the current age, there is none of that and therefore he would be unused to how war is waged right now. This I think is going to prove very important. Mat has been setup through out the series as the defacto best living general (and he had the potential even before the memories were implanted in his head with his giving of battle orders in the old tongue early in the series). I am really starting to think that Demandred is going to be in for a real shock when he tries to take on a Mat lead army.
