I think Peaceful Gray could still be the Anak, just that he hasn't made his move yet. Would be the logical conclusion of his balancing plans.

Cold Light eludes me, Ginasta described their intended transformations as being profoundly dogmatic, I don't believe it is Alonon since I believe his apathy is genuine, so honestly that only leaves Ivala's captor, and Ivala herself. Whoever it ends up being, one thing is for sure, Cold Light is definitely the one working with the "destiny" stuff.

Terrible Warmth being Simon caught me a bit by surprise, mostly because it seems we haven't even made any solid plans on using the Tower to make any sweeping changes to reality yet, mostly idle thoughts that fundamental changes might be necessary. Meanwhile our actions have stopped Wendis from becoming a fundamental force and using her power to try to make any sweeping changes, so I am curious about why, and how, the concept of order already identified Simon as a threat. It could just be the simple fact Simon is managing to seduce the avatar of order with his ideals that turned him into a threat.

Also interesting that all the threats order identified are rather orderly themselves, not a single representative with a chaotic ideal. I think perphaps order does not believe chaos to be a threat, because chaos is unstable itself so eventually it will change into a new order, the only threats order see are orders that have the potential of being truly unending, changing the natural order of the universe by forever stifling the potential for chaos.

Peaceful Gray would end chaos by achieving the magical equivalent of the heat-death of the universe, Cold Light would end chaos by creating absolute determinism by fully controlling everyone's destiny, no idea how exactly Terrible Warmth would be a threat beyond potentially seducing the current order into aligning with him.
