Grey Council… will we meet it in TM? Who is on it?

Agreed.
Also: I suspect one of the things that gives Ebenezer a fair degree of heartburn is keeping Harry & Arthur each unaware that the other one is also secretly a member of the Gray Council.

Langtree showed up when the Grey Council showed up, I doubt that was a mere coincidence.

What makes you say that?
It isn't in my copy of Changes.
"... a dozen separate green bolts of lightning fell all at the same time ... Standing on the ball court were twelve figures."
One of them was Ebenezar. None of the others were identified then.
One other is clearly Vadderung; the "tall lean figure" who opened the Way (to bring in Ebenezar's Kenku) is later
revealed as such when he opens the Way for the Gray Council to depart.
I don't think any of the other GC members are revealed in Chichen Itza.

You're right it has been a while since I read Changes and I got the impression that the tall lean figure was Langtree..

To be fair, Langtry is another who'd be described that way.
Jim's inordinately fond of "tall, lean figures." His own Mary-SueProtagonist is another!
Amongst a dozen grey-cloaked combat-wizards, Langtry could possibly have passed unnoticed by Harry. But I suspect Langtry wasn't there -- the description of his battle-array was specific, and unusual; and his staff was also unusual in that it was a pure white wood, unmarked. I suspect Harry would have noticed.
