If Thanok was the Greywolf he would hate everyone for making him wear that suit.Also he would have killed Lerrig before he opened his mouth.You are right he does appear for the first time in chapter 3 of the second book.In chapter 4 of the first book there was a guy named Tremkon, i wonder if him and Thanok have some kind of relation?
Gardon could have made him wear the traditional Ironfist suit, as a way to show that he is Gardon's servant.
Maybe that Greywolf was similar to Gardon in some ways and quickly became truly loyal to him after a couple of days. That or Gardon gave him one of his amulets.
