Words you can keep
Someone you know is known. When you know somebody, you don't have to test them to know who they always were.
1) The guy was a relative of him/her, so he didn't need to test him/her to know who he/she really was, he had known him/her growing up.

2) The guy had spent years around him/her at work, so he knew who he/she really was without having to test him/her. The other worker/coworker was known to him.

known issue 

A fault or defect in a system or machine that has been documented, but not yet fixed. A "known issue" differs from a "bug" in the sense that "bugs" are unknown, or at the very least undocumented.
"Customer Service, how may I help you?"
"Oh my god! I bought your new product and when I turned it on it began systematically hunting and killing my friends and family!"
"Yes, that is a known issue."
"What?!"
"It's documented."

Known Shitter 

Someone who is a well-known/relevant member within a community due to their unfathomably egotistical personality. They will oftentimes have large egos but lack any sort of self-esteem. They also display a desperate craving for validation from their peers because they are physically incapable of having their own sense of self-worth.
Ever since that known shitter won the Fortnite World Cup, he hasn't shut up about it. He needs to go get some bitches or something.
