Zephyros
It took me a long time to understand that Waite followed the un-intuitive GD practice of calling what I think of as sons/Princes by the title of Kings, and calling what are essentially the fathers Knights. Or am I still fudging it? Never can tell, I'm so used to the logic of the Thoth. First time I looked through the Hermetic I completely lost it.
Modern fortune tellers don't pay any attention to that, and place the Kings as topmost in the hierarchy, and the Knights as third. Intuitively it makes sense, as the Kings are seated while the Knights are riding, but it's still wrong, and no doubt among the secrets Waite was hiding. In all the discussions about his reticence, this is relatively unmentioned, and is perhaps his best kept secret hiding in plain view.
I could be wrong, but I think Wang mentions this disparity but it has beena while since I read it.
ETA: Just checked, and Wang puts the Kings in Chochma. What's going on here? I don't know anything.
