Sanderson has just posted about this and said the "hard core fan freaks" would know who the extra person is and why they were in that artwork. I figured this would be the best place to ask.
If I recall correctly, at one point another youngster was going to leave the Two Rivers, but not be ta'veren. Obviously not essential for any plot reason and cut, but looking back, IMO would have been a big plus to have us get to know another TR youngster over TEOTW and then have them die at the Eye. Maybe would have removed that 'only red shirts die' feel that still persists.
What's the deal with the "extra person" in the artwork for Eye of the World?

Apparently there is an extra person on the front cover and inside cover.

Apparently that's who Brandon Sanderson was talking about. DomA has good points, though.

"Only red shirts die" - tell me about it. Wheel of Time is worse than Harry Potter.

Maybe I'm a sap, but I prefer "only red shirts die" to George R.R. Martin's "only red shirts live." *NM*

I still half expect Egwene to die.

This is being judged on an absurd standard.

It's a shame - no real loss considering all of the "red shirts" the series eventually accumulated.
