This would depend on many things, including the motivation of who exactly is doing the killing.
That said, I suspect the 2 most likely perps resorting to removing someone else are either Traynir or Clyntahn. While one might suppose Clyntahn has the upper hand in the GO4 due to his control of the Inquisition, the wild card is that Traynir controls the Grand Vicar. If the Grand Vicar called for Clyntahn's removal, it would almost certainly fracture the Inquistion; and lead to some sort of civil war within the Church's hierarchy. Who would win is unknown without actually trying it; since it would depend on who supported whom, which could change from day to day depending on the circumstances at the particular time.
Similarly, Clyntahn would have problems initiating something overt against the Chancellor, for the same reason.
Duchairn at the moment is too valuable, since at this point the war is likely to be won or lost on the AOG's side by finances, more than on the side of Charis. Charis has the gold and silver on Silverlode they can use to finance the war effort, if necessary, since it belongs to the imperial family in toto.
That would tend to leave Maigwair as a possible scapegoat, especially if the AOG has more, significant reversals on the front.
Now, this is all as far as some *open* elimination goes. If one considers a quiet assassination, then, obviously, pretty much any one of them could be eliminated. The question is just how much effort and risk one is willing to make/take. Clyntahn and Traynir almost never seem to leave the Temple itself, so it would be hard to arrange anything that looked like a real accident. If that's not a requirement, however, there are all kinds of possibilities. Poison, a servant sneaking in a IED, even a paralytic agent that would allow a weaker servant to strangle a more athletic opponent. Many possibilities. Don't forget the assassins already in Zion, either.
