Only one thing makes me think that the messenger was an Asha'man: In an earlier book (LoC?) there is a POV from Graendal when someone makes a gateway, but doesn't fully open it. They sound a chime to which she responds before they gateway finishes opening. She thought something like "it seems someone remembers the courtesy...". The gateway in the prologue to tGS just opens, no pause for "courtesy".
It could be that Moridin, as Naeblis, doesn't think he needs to do that anymore, but I was left with the impression that the gateway was opened by the messenger.

That Graendal is no way muses that the messenger must be a channeler, though. However, I prefer my idea that the messenger is Osan'gar reborn and not just an Asha'man, because his good body seems comparable to those Moridin and Cyndane got.
Transmigration takes a very long time, and it's only been weeks since the Cleansing. We also know that 2nd chances are rare for the DO ... it means that he won't give a third chance to his servants no matter how much they ask.
Besides, calling Graendal 'My Lady'? There is no way he'll be subservient to her, even if he's mindtrapped and filled with all sorts of punishments. Cyndane and Moghedien let her know that they were still Forsaken.

Does anyone else feel the LOC Forsaken plan was scrapped in an unsatisfactory way?

Theoretically they only get killed off in odd numbered books, right?

That would be a great twist--- Elza could end up saving Rand from his own ability to kill a woman
