WHO...IS...DEADLIEST
To find out, we assembled world-class fighters to test some of the most deadliest weapons in history. Using 21st century science, we find out what happens when two of the greatest fictional warriors go toe-to-toe. No rules, no safety, no mercy. It's a duel to the death to decide who is..
THE DEADLIEST FICTIONAL WARRIOR.
In the Fight club, steel clash as we gather doctors, scientists, and computer experts and combat experts. All to simulate a death match between two armored warriors from different world.

Biomedical scientist Matthew Roth will use 21st century equipment to test the lethal weapon of the two fighters.
"This is our first pure ancient warrior fight, but not just ancient." Matthew said. "These two men come from different worlds from our own."
(Shows a African American man with short black hair and brown eyes. He is wearing a black jump suit and a white lab coat over it. He is explaining the fatal stab wound on a dummy.)
ER doctor Ronald Mack will see if the weapons will kill.
"This is gonna be a good match. These guys are bring in things like swords, daggers, maces, and shields." Dr. Ronald said.
(Shows a skinny white man with shaggy blonde hair and light blue eyes. He's wearing a green shirt and blue jeans. He types some data into a computer.)
Computer Whiz Jesse Jacobs will input the data in a battle simulation to see who is the deadliest fictional warrior will be.
"I had to scale down the Crusader down a bit for this fight, he has the ability to heal himself." Jesse said. "He won't be doing that today."
(Shows a Caucasian man with dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. He is wearing heavy chain-mail. He grabbed a sword and takes a few swings.)
Representing the Warden is King Alistair, a Grey Warden himself. He stood side by side by the warden during the fifth blight.
"Don't get me wrong, this Crusader is a great warrior." Alistair said. "In his own world, I have no doubt that Aedan will defeat this man."
Aedan was born the youngest son of the Teyrn and Teyrna Cousland. After his eldest brother went to war for the crown during the beginning of the fifth blight, his family was killed by Arl Rendon Howe. He was recruited by Duncan, the Grey Warden commander of Ferelden, after he found his wounded father. Aedan survived the Joining and became a Grey Warden. However the Wardens were betrayed by Teyrn Loghain Mac Tir and branded as traitors. Aedan than united Mages, Dalish Elves, Darwves, and the soldiers of Redcliff to stand with him. At the final battle at Denerim, Aedan defeated the Archdemon and survived due to the deal he made with the witch Morrigan. .
"He is not only the savior ofFerelden but all of Thedas." Alistair said proudly.
But the expert of Tamriel's Divine Crusader is confident of victory
(Shows a African American man with black hair and brown eyes. He is wearing a suit of armor similar to the Crusaders. He picks up a mace and smashes a fake skull with it.)
Sir Thedret is a Redgruad member of the Knights of the Nine, the order of which the Crusader is the leader. He was saved by the Crusader when he was imprisoned by mages looking for the Shield of the Crusader.
"This man is nothing like the Warden, Hans was chosen by the Nine." Thedret said. "If I'm correct, their "Maker" abandon them."
Hans was a simply knight wandering Cyrodiil, when he heard if a massacre at the Chapel of Dibella. He listened to a mysterious prophet who said it was the doing of Umarli, the King of the Ayelid Elves. Praying at the wayshrines of the Nine, Hans received a vision from Pelinal Whitestrake, the original Crusader. The spirit told him to defeat the threat and gave him the location of the first piece of his armor. Soon after this, he gained both the arms and armors of the Crusader, but followers as well. He then took the fight Umaril and defeated both his physical and spiritual forms. Now hailed as a hero, he continued to serve as his order's leader.
"This isn't gonna be close, the Warden is going down fast and hard." Thedret said sternly.
But how would the fiercely faithful Crusader fair against the ferocious Ferelden Warden.
"I have to give this one to the Crusader. His armor is just a bit better and can save him from most attacks." Dr. Ronald said.
"My bet is on the Warden, he defeated a much bigger threat than the Crusader did." Jesse said.
Both bring in their four favorite weapons of war.
Grey Warden Weapons:
Silverite Dagger
Warden Companion Longsword
Crossbow
Grey Warden Shield
Divine Crusader:
Mace of The Crusader
Sword of The Crusader
Longbow
Shield of The Crusader
First Up, Short Range.
The Warden stabs in with:
The Silverite Dagger, a small yet deadly stabbing weapon.
(Shows the Warden kill a darkspwan with a stab in the neck.)
Sliverite
Length: 1 foot
Weight: 2 pounds
Alistair walks up to the group wielding the lethal dagger.
"This is the silverite dagger, Aedan never leaves home with out it. That's because if he's trap in a room where his sword can't be used effectively he has this to back him up." Alistair explained.
"Alright, we have a gel torso with a fully functional replica of the steel cuirass that the Crusader wore." Matthew said. "We want you to try to pierce the armor."
"Let's do it then." Alistair said
Alistair walks up to the dummy and readies himself.
"Alistair are you ready." Matthew said.
"Yep."
"THREE..TWO..ONE..GO!."
Alistair let out a roar and thrusted at the cuirass, but the dagger glanced off the armor. After that Alistair looked somewhat disapointed.
"Wow, I guess that the armor did it's job." Matthew said.
"That was a weak excuse for a weapon, but Hans has something that's going to smash your man to death." Thedret said.
"An what would that be." Alistair said with skepticism.
The Crusader smashes in with:
The Mace of the Crusader, a flanged mace that breaks bones.
(Shows the Crusader killing a Auroran with a bash to the head.)
Steel
Length: 1.5 foot
Weight: 5 pounds
The group walk up to Thedret as he practiced with a replica of the Crusader Mace.
"OK, this is the Mace of the Crusader, it heavy and can break bones, even a enemies with armor.." Thedret explained.
"OK, we have a gel torso in heavy chain mail and a metal helmet." Matthew said. "We want two strikes, one in the chest and one to head."
Thedret nodded and walked up to the gel torso.
"Are you ready Thedret." Matthew asked.
"Yes."
"THREE..TWO..ONE..SMASH IT!"
Thedret swung the mace and hit the chest of the dummy. He then swung at the side of the head. The mace smashed into the helmet and the head bent in a weird angle.
"Damn, you destroyed the dummy." Jesse said.
"Ya, the attack to the head broke the neck." Dr. Ronald said as he removed the chain-mail. "And you also broke some ribs too."
"Well it's a good weapon, but its slow and Aedan has fought against mace wielding foes, so he knows how to deal with them." Alistair said.
"I think your back peddling from the evidence that we see right here." Matthew said.
So who gets the edge in short range weapons.
"The Mace gets the edge because of both the fact that the dagger couldn't penetrate the Crusader's armor, and the kill power of the mace." Jesse said
In short range weapons, the EDGE goes to the Divine Crusader and the Mace of the Crusader.
Next up, Mid Range.
The Crusader slashes in with:
The Sword of the Crusader, the main weapon of the Crusader.
(Shows the Crusader kill a mage with a overhead slice.)
Steel
Length: 4 feet
Weight: 5 pounds
"This is the sword that Hans got after he killed the ghost of Sir Berich Vlindrel, who tainted it with evil. Hans managed to reconsecrate it at the Chapel of Arkay." Thedret explained. "It's a long and heavy sword, but it is deadly."
"OK, we have a gel dummy with the same chain-mail as last time. Matthew said. "We want you to try an get though the armor."
"OK." Thedret said bluntly.
Thredret walked up to the dummy and readies himself.
"Thedret are you ready?" Matthew said.
"Yes."
"THREE..TWO..ONE..GO!"
Thedret took a overhead slice at the dummy, but the chain-mail managed to hold. He tried a horizontal slice to the stomach but the armor managed to hold again.
"OK, it seems that the heavy chain-mail manage to hold up against the Crusader's sword." Matthew said.
"Nice try Thedret but I got something that's gonna gut your Crusader." Alistair said.
The Warden slashes back with:
The Warden's Companion, a sword made of the bones of dragons and a proven killer of darkspawn.
(Shows the Warden decapitating a darkspawn)
Dragonbone
Length: 4 feet
Weight: 2 pounds
"The Warden's Companion is a longsword made of bone of a dragon." Alistair said. "In Thedas, this is just as strong or stronger than steel and very light."
"OK, we have the same test so let do this." Matthew said.
"Gladly." Alistair said with a smile.
Alistair walked up to the dummy with steel armor, and readies the sword.
"Alistair, are you ready." Matthew said.
"Absolutely."
"THREE..TWO..ONE..GO!"
Alistair took a swing at the steel armor but sword glanced off. Alistair then tried a thrust at the armor but the same thing happened.
"Well, yet again the armor is doing good on both sides." Jesse said.
"But you forget, this weapon is lighter than the Crusader's." Alistair said. "Aedan can get more swings than the Crusader's."
"That doesn't matter, sooner or latter Hans is gonna get through your amror." Thedret said.
So who gets the edge in mid range weapons.
"This is even, neither swords could get though either warrior's armor." Jesse said.
In Mid Range Weapons, both warriors are EVEN.
Next up, Long Range weapons.
The Warden fires in with:
The Crossbow, the Thedan sniper rifle.
(Shows the Warden killing a bandit with a bolt to the neck.)
Ironbark
Length: 20 inches
Weight: 6 pounds
Rate of Fire: 10 bolts per minute
Alistair walks up to the group with the crossbow in hand.
"This is the crossbow, its has the best range and intrinsic damage, especially against armored warriors." Alistair said.
OK, we have a gel dummy with armor on, we want you to hit it from as far away as possible." Matthew said.
"Let's go." Alistair said.
Alistair walked to the firing line and aimed down range.
"Alistair, are you ready." Matthew said.
"Yes, I am."
"THREE..TWO..ONE..FIRE!"
Alistair presses down on the tickle trigger and the bolt flies out and hits the cuirass and penetrate. A trickle of blood came out underneath the armor.
"Nice, the steel armor finally gave way." Matthew said.
"Ya, it hit the heart, which would kill the Crusader." Dr. Ronald said.
"That's an interesting weapon, but I have something that can fire faster." Thedret said.
The Crusader fires back with:
The Longbow, the main long range weapon of the Tamriel Empire.
(Shows The Crusader killing a Auroran with a arrow to the eye.)
Elven wood
Length: 6 foot
Weight: 3 pounds
Rate of Fire: 15 rounds per minute
The group walks up to Thedret as he loads up on arrows.
"This is the longbow, there are several different bow, but the Knights of the Nine and the Crusader prefer the elven type. We can fire about 15 arrow's a minute." Thedret said.
"OK, we have the same test, so try to penetrate the heavy chain-mail." Matthew said.
"Very well." Thedret said calmly.
Thedret walked up to the firing line and strung an arrow and aimed down range.
"Are you ready Thedret." Matthew said.
"Yes, I am."
"THREE..TWO..ONE..FIRE!"
Thedret let the arrow fly and it streaked in the air. It then hit the chain-mail but it bounced off. Thedret strung another arrow and fired. This one managed to get through the chain-mail, just blow the stomach, but not much.
"OK, it seems that the only arrow hit below the stomach, but it's questionable." Dr. Ronald said.
"Nice try Thedret, but you and all Tamreil need to advance as a civilization a bit." Alistair said.
So who gets the edge in long range weapons.
"This goes to the Warden, the longbow is good, but the crossbow has the greater range and penetrating power." Jesse said.
In long range weapons, the EDGE goes to The Grey Warden for the crossbow.
Last up, Special weapons.
The Crusader bring in:
The Shield of the Crusader, a sturdy kite shield that can repel swords and arrows.
(Shows The Crusader blocking a sword from Umaril.)
Steel
1' diameter
Weight: 5 pounds
"The is the shield that The Crusader uses. It can defend against anything." Thedret said.
"Does it do anything else except defend?" Matthew asked.
"No, it's just a defensive shield." Thedret answered.
The Warden also brings in:
The Grey Warden Shield, a heavy shield used to block and bludgeon enemies.
(Shows the Warden block a sword from a darkspawn then hit it with his shield.)
Steel
4' Diameter
Weight: 10 pounds
"This our shield, it's heavy and can be used to bash a opponent." Alistair said.
"So this can be used for offensive attacks." Matthew said.
"You are correct sir." Alistair replied.
"Whatever, Hans is a six foot, four inches tall and two hundred and thirty five pounds Nord." Thedret said. "He's encased in steel armor, he won't feel this."
"We'll see." Alistair said.
So who gets the edge in special weapons.
"This goes to the Warden, he can use his shield for both offensive and defensive moves." Jesse said.
In Special Weapons, the EDGE goes to the Grey Warden for the Grey Warden Shield.
With all the testing done, we are one step closer to see who is the Deadliest Fictional Warrior.
Review:
In short range, The Crusader's Mace had better killing power than the Silverite Dagger.
EDGE: Divine Crusader
In mid range, both warrior swords could not penetrate either's armor.
EDGE: Even
In long range, the crossbow range and penetrating power beat out the longbow.
EDGE: Grey Warden
And in special weapons, The Warden's shield versatility beat out The Crusader's shield.
EDGE: Grey Warden
In order to prevent a single blow from snatching victory, Jesse will run the simulation one thousand times to determine the Deadliest Fictional Warrior.
It will be battle of opposites warriors:
A faithful crusader who was chosen to defeat a great evil.
(Shows The Crusader defeating the spirit form of Umaril.)
vs.
A nobleman who had to defeat a great evil because no one wanted to believe anything is wrong.
(Shows The Warden killing the Archdemon.)
Jesse types a little more data into the computer and then presses the enter button to start the sim.
The Battle:
In a wooded area that transcends time and space, The Warden has defeated what appeared to be bandits. He was searching their camp for anything of use. He found a chest full of money that he did not recognize. Meanwhile The Crusader was walking in the forest trying to find his way back to the priory. As he walks, he notices the bandit camp and a lone figure looking through a chest. The Crusader than walks into the clearing and the Warden turns to see him after hearing the footsteps. The two warriors look at each other with suspicion.
A few second later the Warden pulls out his crossbow and aims it, already having a bolt in. The Crusader begins to back away but the Warden fires and the bolt hit the big Nord in the shoulder, penetrating his armor. The Crusader grunts in pain and pulls out the bolt. He then pulls out his elven longbow and strings an arrow. As the Warden tries to put in a new bolt, the Crusader fires his bow. The projectile hits the crossbow and the Warden drops it. Stringing another arrow, the Crusader aims, and sees the Warden charging him with a shield and dagger.
The Crusader fires the arrow but the Warden uses his shield to block the arrow. Closing in, the Warden thrust's his dagger at the chest of the large warrior but the dagger glances off. The Crusader than pulls out his mace and shield and takes a swing at his opponent, but the Warden blocks it with his shield. The two exchange blows and blocks until the Crusader hits the shoulder of the Warden with a blow from the mace. This forces the Warden back and also forces him to drop his dagger. He then unsheathes his "companion" and charges. The Warden swing his sword out but the Crusader blocks. However, the Warden lashes out with his shield and relives the Crusader of his mace.
Somewhat stunned, the Crusader then pulls out his sword and the two swords clash. Sparks fly as the two try to find a weak spot in the others. Suddenly the Warden lashes out again with his shield and knocks the shield out of the Crusader's hands. Now in a dangerous situation, the Crusader blocks a few blows with his sword and then kicks the Warden in the stomach, knocking down the Warden. This gives the Crusader enough time to grab his mace as the Warden gets up and charges at him with his sword raised. The Crusader get on one knee and as the Warden closes in, the Crusader strikes him in the right knee with all his might.
A sickening crack is heard and the Warden screams in pain as he lands on the ground. As the Warden clutches his right knee, he was turned on his back and he look wide eyed at the Crusader as he swung his sword downward. The sword severed the Warden's head and it went a few feet away and rolled to a stop. The Crusader then raised his sword in the air and yelled.
"FOR THE NINE!"
OVERALL WINNER: THE DIVINE CRUSADER
"When I ran the simulation a thousand times, this was a close match up." Jesse said.
The Crusader manage to get 530 kills, his sword proved to be his deadliest weapon.
Divine Crusader Kills:
Mace of The Crusader- 240 kills
Sword of The Crusader-250 kills
Longbow- 40 kills
Shield of The Crusade- 0 kills
The Warden was close with 470 kills. All of his proved to be lethal, but it wasn't enough.
Grey Warden Kills:
Silverite Dagger- 100 kills
Warden Companion Longsword- 200 kills
Crossbow- 145 kills
Grey Warden Shield- 25 kills
"This came down to the armor the warriors wore, and the Crusader's was better than the chain-mail of the Warden." Matthew said.
"This is outrageous, no way that hulking idiot beat the greatest warrior in Thedas." Alistair said angrily.
"I had all the faith in the Nine that our commander would come out the winner." Thedret said with a grin.
The last scene shows the Crusader roaring in victory with his sword raised in the air.
Next time on Deadliest Fictional Warrior, two of the greatest assassins of very different order will see who is better as:
(Show a man with black leather boots, pants, shirt, gloves, and hood. His face was covered in shadow. He draws a short sword and slashes at the camera.)
A Dark Brotherhood Assassin, the mysterious and cut throat killers who want to create chaos for the dark god Sithis.
(Shows a Dark Brotherhood Assassin killing his target with a stab to the neck.)
vs.
A Renaissance Assassin, the assassin's who fight the evil Knights Templar's for peace in all things.
(Shows a Renaissance Assassin killing a Templar with his hidden blades.)
Who will be the deadliest assassin, find out on the next Deadliest Fictional Warrior.
