Does this mean that Aqinos appears in MOD, even though he is not named? (I don't have the book.)
Exactly.

It seems I have to track down the Gamemaster Screen, Second Edition. There are a whole lot of interesting characters in there...
There really are. That book was an unexpected gem, and as you can see I've milked it more than a few times: Droids and the Force, Dark Forces Saga, and Story of Grievous all make reference to it.

Take care,
Abel

While everyone else has been off reading Betrayal, I've been reading The Crystal Star as research for the Empire Reborn wiki article. (I know, lucky me!)

Anyway as I was reading it, I noticed a few lines that may give us some clues as to when the Iron Knights were rediscovered. The article itself says it was approximately two years after starting the Praxeum. That would place in round about 13 ABY, but Abel has said that date is deliberately vague.

Anyway, so Han and Luke are investigating Crseih Station, looking for lost Jedi:
Page 31 posted:
"And who knows what we'll find when we get where we're going? Maybe some more Jedi Knights to help with the school" Han to Luke
Page 34 posted:
"But if I do find other trained Jedi, it'll make a big difference. To the Academy. To the New Republic..." Luke
Page 43 posted:
Han did not believe a group of lost Jedi existed.

Those last two quotes suggest to me that a large group of Jedi have not yet been found. I think Han would be a lot less doubtful if a group of 12 or so lost Jedi had already been found. Luke also seems doubtful that he will find any Jedi.

If they have not yet found Jedi, then in conjunction with the statement in the article it must be almost immediately after CS that they do. The next event in the Timeline is Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, also in 14 ABY. Perhaps the group of students that track them down are in Jaden's class!

Your brave sacrifice for the betterment of Wookieepedia has been noted.

By the livin' Gawd that made you, you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din.

Not a bad bit of sleuthin, Eyrezer. I'd say your conclusion is likely.
