User blog:Deathblade 100/Game of Thrones Season 6 release: Gregor Clegane (Game of Thrones) vs Horace Altman (Ranger's Apprentice)

Okay in order to celebrate the release of the sixth season of Game of Thrones, I'm doing a battle between two characters who are almost recognizable by talent and deeds in their respective franchises. So let's start.

Horace Altman- the Oakleaf Knight; who killed the evil Morgarath at Uthal Plains, fought the Temujai in Skandia and later fought against the skilled Senshi warriors of Nihon-Ja

VS

Gregor Clegane- the Mountain that Rides; whose infamous acts of torture, murder and pillage made him the most feared man in Westeros

Both of these men are total opposites. One fights to protect the innocent; while the other ruthlessly slaughters everyone in his path and terrorizes all in his path. One fights with skill and talent; the other fights like a brute. However at the end of the day we will see;

WHO...IS...DEADLIEST?

To find out the history of war and modern science collide, as we test the weapons and tactics used by these legends of war. We dissect their strengths and weaknesses for an all new battle to the death. No rules, no safety, no mercy. It's a duel to the death to find out who is the Deadliest Warrior.

Gregor Clegane
"Ah, you Rangers love to be the puppetmasters don't you?"

- Horace, to Will Treaty

Horace Altman was a knight from the kingdom of Araluen (presumably England judging by its location) in Ranger's Apprentice. He was an orphan like Will Treaty and was selected to become a knight. He was bullied in his first year of battleschool and his trainers quickly find out he is a natural swordsman. Horace is later saved by Will in a boar hunt and form a friendship. Horace follows Will and Halt to: Gallica (France), Hibernia (Ireland), Skandia (Scandinavia) and the Arridi desert. Horace had also fought and killed the evil warlord Morgarath in single combat. His swordsmanship led to him being called the "Oakleaf Knight" in Gallica and Araluen and "The Sunrise Warrior" in Hibernia. He later married the princess Cassandra and had one child, Madelyn Altman.

Gregor Clegane
"Killing them isn't the problem, it's finding them."

- Gregor, to Tywin Lannister

Ser Gregor Clegane is the head of House Clegane, minor vassals of House Lannister. Ser Gregor is a notoriously fearsome warrior with a tendency toward extreme violence. During the War of the Five Kings he raided the Riverlands on orders from his liege lord Tywin Lannister. Ser Gregor served briefly as castellan of Harrenhal before withdrawing his troops.

Weapons Evaluation
Primary: Draw. I'm personally calling this a draw. This is mostly due to the superior metallurgy of Horace's blade as well as his expert skill with said weapon against the longer reach of Gregor's sword and heavier damage it can cause.

Secondary: Gregor. With the Buckler, it's usually used as a light defense tool and it can be destroyed by heavy attackers. Gregor's brute strength can not be disarmed as it is literally a part of that person.

Armour: Draw. While Horace's chainmail can stop sweeping attacks and is lighter, it is vulnerable to thrusting and penetrating attacks. Gregor's plate can stop most forms of attack, but it is significantly heavier than the chainmail meaning Gregor will tire faster.

Personal X-Factor: Horace. Horace can utilize his skill with deadly results. Gregor's temper makes him a fearsome foe to face but it sometimes gets the better of him.
