It was posed by someone at Dragonmount:
"Went to the signing in Idaho Falls today and asked BS if we had seen Demandred's alter ego on screen and he gave me a R.A.F.O. card and said that Demandred's identity is the biggest secret in the series and will pay off in the end. I asked if the pacing would be the same in TofM as it was in TGS and he said that TGS was like books 1-3 and TofM would be like 4-6. I'm not sure if this is new or not but thought I'd post it."
If this report is reliable, I think it further strengthens the idea that Demandred has a 3rd Age alter ego (like almost all other Forsaken), otherwise - i.e. if Demandred doesn't have such a disguise - one could hardly say that "Demandred's identity is the biggest secret in the series and will pay off in the end."
IMO, this also speaks against the theory that Demandrd is at the BT. Would he really pose as an Asha'man under Taim? It seems much more likely that he is a high-ranking noble and/or general we haven't seen yet on-screen, e.g. in Murandy. If he would convincingly play King Roedran, though, is somewhat doubtful, especially since Demandred likes proxies. Or perhaps he is indeed the Taraboner general Tamrin.
