Or perhaps the killer wasn't human. The Gholam, or maybe even the Finn's fit the bill there. "You!?" doesn't necessitate that Asmo actually knew who the killer was, just that he at least knew what the killer was.
i agree. the "You" at minimum indicates that the killer was a person he did not expect to see. It may also indicate that he knew the killer and did not expect to see them there.
however, his recognition of the killer can also be based solely on their appearance and/or what they were doing when he saw them.
Further, the fast "you, no"--indicates that the killer is someone Asmo knew would kill him outright.
it can be based on him recognizing the person from personal experience, and knowing they would kill him outright.
However, i see another possibility if recognition was only based on appearance/conduct and not prior experience. The quickly combined recognition and "no" indicates the killer is a person with a strong reputation that running into them is unhealthy.
Asmodeans killer.

I think Fain would be more likely.

Fain was always just a crackpot candidate, but RJ has ruled him out as a suspect anyway.

LOL. I'd like to see Rand squeeze out a "You? No!" while that knife was in flight. *NM*
