Very unlikely that the patron was Taim... Etzel Send a noteboard - 17/03/2010 06:44:44 PM
The scene where he "mis-fired" shows us that if anything he is resourceful at finding where and when people are going to be. Fortune saved those pool fools not Slayers lack of skills :p

Personally, I still think Taim was the one who sent him to kill Rand, not to mention we know that the Asha'man knew where Rand wa staying.


Taim already sent the DF Asha'amn; no need to send Slayer as well. Besides that, we don't know if Taim even knows how to contact Slayer. The patron was most likely a Forsaken, IMO Osan'gar.

I think people over think this whole murder mystery. We know from numerous examples that Ishamael puts names on his "hitlist" as do other forsaken and even Taim. This is a method the shadow uses period. Lanfear said she was putting Asmo on the "list" so to speak. She had time between the end of tSR and the end of tFoH to do this. So it would be in no way shape or form a stretch to think that the shadows assassin would be informed of the new target...

The problem isn't that he couldn't have been ordered to kill Asmo, but that he could have found him and killed him. He couldn't even kill Fain in the Two Rivers, even with the help of hundreds of Trollocs.


This is a typical nonsense-argument: Just because a certain character isn't allowed to kill another character for plot reasons, doesn't mean at all that this character is unable to kill anyone, especially if he is a Top Assassin like Slayer, whose job is it to find & kill people. There is no reason to think that Slayer couldn't kill Asmo with surprise & a quick weapon, especially since RJ even stated that Fain would have killed Asmo, if he had been at the right place at the right time.
