Re: Gemmels most dangerous/deadliest character

i would say jaim or druss and my reasons would be because they have sheer determination and never give up. i do like skillgannon though

They do fight at the end of Swords of Night and Day, Decado is better as stated by Skillgannon who asks why he didn't kill him when by his count he had 3-4 oppurtunities to finish Skillgannon off. Personally I would like to think that SG was better, but obviously Gemmell wanted it different.

I also would like to throw Tenaka Khan out there as a possible deadliest as he and Decado always debated who was better.

P.S My First Post, Hello to all.

Re: Gemmels most dangerous/deadliest character

Hi Bane,
Perhaps the question should have been how would the original Decado done against his reborn. Now that would be interesting.

That is interesting... I think maybe the Reborn may have won as he seemed to have a berserker type personality and I think you would have to kill him outright to stop him. But then staying cool is also a major advantage... in other words.... I am not sure who would win. And I think that as mentioned before, the original Skilgannon may well have beaten the reborn Decado, as the reborn Skilgannon didn't have full control or balance over his body yet. It was body which was not conditioned by years of training as he was originally, which would have given him better speed and strength.

Re: Gemmels most dangerous/deadliest character

I think that the deadliest character has to be Waylander through his talents of surviving and his skill with most weapons.
I think that the most dangerous character has to be Druss cause no once could face him while he had Snaga. I mea he was ill and helped skilagonnan beat the Nadir in white wolf and he killed Nadir just before he died

Though i think the best swordsman is Decado (both of them) cause the reborn could have killed SKilagonnan. But Teneka Khan did say that Decado was possibly the greatest swordsman of the age

Re: Gemmels most dangerous/deadliest character

The most deadliest was easily Waylander, although his rival Cadoras deserves a mention. Druss would of been a distant second.

The best swordsman is really a matter of opinion, I personally would favour Dace above all. Second to him would be Decado the Ice Killer tied with Decado Reborn and third I would have Antikas Karios who was the cockiest person in all DG's books.

Re: Gemmels most dangerous/deadliest character

for an axeman obviously Druss, for an archer it would have to be Waylander but for a swordsman either Decado or Regnak (though only after he lost virae and was baresark) but Decado would probably still win cause he has source powers

Re: Gemmels most dangerous/deadliest character

come on peaple Druss is the best no single swordsman can stand against the blades of no return. to get close enough to kill him is to die end of story. even if he was stabbed or slashed first that axe is going to end you even without the enchantments on it anymore. whoever trys to kill Druss is going to die even if he succeeds.

Yes, but that is if they were to go toe to toe with him. Waylander is the most deadly because his skill as an assassin would enable him to take out Druss without having to fight him.

Re: Gemmels most dangerous/deadliest character

hmmmm it all depends on if druss saw him coming or not cause if he did see him he could knock the crossbow bolt out of the air and then hurl his axe in return. Its a tricky one does druss have a roylnd style spidey sense? cause if he does waylander would be screwed

Re: Gemmels most dangerous/deadliest character

You cant ambush Druss and kill him with assasin stealth something.

I have read Legend and he proved to have a uncanny skill to know when the air is still and a danger is coming even though he dont see it.

Wink Re: Gemmels most dangerous/deadliest character

Waylander, no question, would take anyone out, he is just so cool, even when he knows he is facing a better oponent - Senta the swordsman - walks right up to him all calm an smashes a headbut in his face - anyway as Ustarte says, "Nothing that walks or breathes is more deadly than the grey man"

Re: Gemmels most dangerous/deadliest character

It's tough to choose but my money would be on Waylander too, becasue he's sneaky/stealthy

Re: Gemmels most dangerous/deadliest character

You have to remember though Ustarte said that in the time of Waylander, not the time of Druss, who is a descendent of not only Angel and Miriel but also Oshikai.

Re: Gemmels most dangerous/deadliest character

I havent read Waylander yet but he cant be better than Druss THE Legend!

Who cares about stealth its all about man vs man. Its not like you can sneak up on everyone.
