I know that COW is meant to be an inclusive set but reading Hebrews eleven recently gave me some ideas for other cloud heroes. since Daniel and Joshua were added even though they were mentioned indirectly, here are a few other Heroes that may be cloud heroes.
• Anonymous Heroes of the Bible

The remaining heroes of faith are listed anonymously in Hebrews 11, but we can guess with a fair degree of accuracy the identity of many of these men and women based on what the writer of Hebrews tells us:
Verse 34: "... quenched the flames of fire ..." - Probably refers to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego surviving the blazing furnace (Daniel 3).
Verse 34: "... weakness was turned to strength ..." - Hezekiah recovered from his sickness (Isaiah 37:1-38:22).
Verse 35: "Women received their loved ones back again from death ..." - The widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17) and the Shunammite woman (2 Kings 4) both received their sons raised back to life by the prophets Elijah and Elisha.
Verse 35-36: " ... others were tortured ... their backs were cut open with whips." - Jeremiah was tortured and whipped (Jeremiah 20).
Verse 37: "Some died by stoning ..." - Zechariah was stoned to death (2 Chronicles 24:21).
Verse 37: "... some were sawed in half ..." - Strong tradition suggests that Isaiah died a martyr under the reign of King Manasseh by being placed within the hallow of a tree trunk and sawed in two.
