Cassian doesn't actually recognize Dooku from the history of the Clone Wars. When it would have been most relevant, Cassian had been a child, and the circles he'd traveled in on the Outer Rim were not so well-resourced (nor disposed) as to do much research. Once in the Alliance… Intelligence operative or not, there were certain subects he'd… benignly neglected. If they weren't useful, memory storage better allocated elsewhere… and if they were going to render him… incapable of… …There were some he'd been gently advised to leave alone, and, once or twice, had actually taken the advice.
For instance, how insurgent cells like his, despite intention, had actually contributed to the way history played out.
Unless a particular figure or line of record became relevant again, it had been far, far better to move forward, not look (too closely) back.
But Cassian does recognize Dooku. Not from a file, but from a memory.
…And if he's tired of running from something (even memories) that won't stop attacking, then standing and fighting becomes the necessity.
At the very least: turning and facing.
Unlike Dooku's, Cassian's accent is not Core Proper, but his knowledge of correct address is. (And how he knows Dooku's title at all, he leaves hanging.)]
