Parts of the Chant from WoT Vol 2, seem to confirm that Corypheus was indeed the ringleader and mastermind of the plot to breach the Golden City, having gone to the other seven high priests of their respective Old Gods and convinced them to join him in his scheme.
I think in-universe, he was forced to use yet another alias because the name "Corypheus" was known to the Wardens. Why he went with Elder One, I have no idea, because it really doesn't describe him in a flattering or imposing way?
I think that Samson's nickname for him is far better, because as cliche and overused as it is, you can't go wrong with "The Master".
Almost a Conductor of sorts.
