I suppose if Alatar took Pallando 'as a friend' they would be on the same terms, or rank.

I don't think the Valar and the others at that council could make too much of an assumption of rank, at least not beyond any foresight. If the original Istari were Curumo and Alatar, Then if you did nto know much about them, it might go like this:

Sauruman The White
Alatar the Blue (These could be interchangable)

Gandalf the Grey
Radagast the Brown

and ideally, how i would think anyway, is that Pallando might not have been given 'wizard powers', but perhaps a little like if gandalf had a Frodo Clone he went everywhere with. So essentially he is on Alatar's rank (Blue), but I would think he would be lesser than Alatar. But then Cirdan said:

Sauruman (White)
Gandalf (Grey)
Radagast (Brown)
Alatar (Blue)
Pallando (Blue)

And of course then later Cirdan and Galadriel said Gandalf was really stronger, and Sauruman was cast out, and Alatar and Pallando dissappeared, and I guess Radagst forgot he might go back to Aman, or he didnt want to, or he got in an argument with an Eagle.So i think the idea was to have the wizards on the same rank, that is, working together with no one of them taking domination, yet their 'personal' intrests seperated them.
Also I was thinking, did the wizards (all five) only meet together, like formally, at that council in Aman? Because if they each showed up at different times, and spread out across ME, they would be a bit long distance for business partners.
