BS posted an old interview available on DM in which RJ said this:
Liandra from The Netherlands: I understand there would be a person in The Eye of the World, but that he was cut out or something. Who was he?
RJ: One of the characters who I have brought in later was a fellow named Daniell in TEOTW, and I brought him out because I realized he didn't have anything to do there. I reintroduced hiim later. At that point, he was simply taking up space.

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*

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.
