It's The Ultimate Question, and I noticed there wasn't any thread dedicated to it on this forum. Oh well, there was, but it was closed alright, and I couldn't respond.
Now.
Who Killed Asmodean?
Here's my answer! It's quite an obvious answer, when you think of it, just because of one little detail. And didn't RJ say the culprit was obvious?
Well...
*drums*
Davram Bashere. Why? Well, first of all, I don't like the looks of him. Shows up for no good reason to 'help' Rand, and then practically takes over all battles. Second, I think Bashere is a Forsaken in disguise. Perhaps Demandred or something. He still needs an identity in Randland. Third, if you, just for the sake of it, believe Bashere's a Forsaken, that means he can channel, and clear up the mess of a dead body in a matter of seconds. Fourth, Asmodean recognises the culprit. If he saw Bashere, but not quite in his Bashere-form, that would've scared the hell out of him. The most obvious respond of Bashere seeing someone who recognises him as 'not being Bashere', is to kill him. Am I still making sense? Finally, and most important, Asmodean dies in a wine cupboard. Bashere, later in the book, comes over to Rand with, guess what, wine! That means he had to have been in de cupboard at the time of the killing! Pah-dah!

Whoah, why have I got the feeling I'm not welcome here?
I just came here to test my theory, but if you don't want my opinion, I'll be gone.

No, you're quite welcome. Tony just has a certain...way about him that sometimes comes off as a little standoffish if you aren't used to it. =P So welcome to The Wheel Weaves, by the way.
And I wish I could comment about your theory here but I lost all interest in who killed him after it wasn't revealed a few books later. It wasn't an important enough character for me to get hooked on. I think the killer was Robert Jordan and he just needed the character gone. That's why he seems so surprised. ^^

I''m sorry if I sounded hostile. I'm just saying that a lot of people in the series drink wine.

Okay ^^ Acutally, this was a theory I had for quite a while, but I had to review it only seconds after I posted my previous message. The chronological order wasn't the way I thought it was. Bashere comes in with the wine before Asmo was killed. But then... who did do it? =P
