Who is deadliest.

Abraham Lincoln
"So long as this country is cursed with slavery, so too will it be cursed by vampires."

- Extract from Lincoln's secret diary. Abraham Lincoln was raised in the places where slaves were treated with prejudice and without equality. When Abraham's father could not pay back a loan to a vampire named Jack Bart's he punishes him buy killing Abe's mother. Abe made the solemn vow to kill every last vampire in the US. On his first hunt he is almost killed but is saved by a vampire called Henry who trains him up to be able to hunt down and kill other vampires. After several years of vampire hunting he decides to become a politician in hopes of one day being able to rid the USA of slavery, to deprive vampires of a readily available food source.

Connor Kenway
"I realize now that it will take time, that the road ahead is long and shrouded in darkness. It is a road that will not always take me where I wish to go – and I doubt I will live to see it end. But I will travel down it nonetheless."

- Connor Kenway Born to a British father and Mohawk mother, Ratonhnhaké:ton was raised among his mother's tribe. He suffered severely during his childhood, largely from the tribe's encounters with European colonists; a conflict that reached its peak when his village was destroyed by a colonial force. This event prompted him to seek justice for his people and fight tyranny wherever he saw it. His endeavours eventually led to him joining the Assassin Order in 1770, as well as adopting the name "Connor" in order to more easily move through colonial circles.

== X Factors == Speed: Lincoln=70/Connor=85

Connor has shown a great amount of speed both in his movement and attack speed. As an assassin he is specifically trained to get a quick clean kill and can run circles around trained soldiers without much effort. Lincoln is by no means slow and has to have an above average reflex speed in order to face off against his supernatural quarry but he doesn't use his speed much in battle and his large build makes it hard for him move with any great speed.

Strength: Lincoln=90/Connor=69

Lincoln is a mountain of a man and his years of working the land has given him a great amount of strength. Some of his feats include; pulling a plough as fast as any horse, lift a 250 pound log clean over his head, pick up and throw a full grown man, throw an axe into a tree from 30 yards away and go toe to toe with vampires who possess superhuman strength. Connor relies more on precise strikes rather than brute force and while being able to haul himself up tall buildings does require a good deal of upper-body strength he is not much more powerful than a normal person.

Experience: Lincoln=84/Connor=80

Both of these two bring two vastly differing types of experience. Most of Abe's combat experience comes from his battles against the undead with an occasional bar brawl. Connor's experience is more conventional; he spends most of his time fighting trained soldiers and Templar leaders. What gives Lincoln the edge though is two things. Firstly is that vampires are a more difficult foe to face than some random mooks and secondly is his age, Lincoln has been hunting vampires for over a decade whereas Connor has only really been active a few years at most and most of that time is spent waiting around for a target whereas Lincoln spends great deals of time either hunting or practising his skills.

Training: Lincoln=83/Connor=90

Lincoln receives a great deal of training from Henry at the start of his vampire hunting career and learns many different tactics on how to take down a vampire. However most of his skills are self taught and it's very field specific, there isn't a whole lot of general combat skills. Connor has not only received assassin training from Achilles but he has also been taught free-running, bush-craft and archery skills from the elder members of his tribe. This gives him a vast and varied set of skills and allows gives him more options in combat as well as making him more well prepared for an opponent he's not faced before.

Fighting Skill: Lincoln=91/Connor=91

Both of these warriors are extremely skilled fighters, either with or without a weapon. Abe has been shown to be a very successful vampire hunter despite his obvious physical disadvantage but he has also been shown to easily dispatch a large group of human fighters with only his bare hands, even at the age of 50 he was able to hold his own against multiple undead opponents. He is a skilled axe user and can throw it with great accuracy, being able to hit a vampire right in the chest from several feet away. Connor is equally skilled and has shown himself more than capable of taking on multiple opponents at once with ease as well as beating high ranking and more experienced Templar leaders including his own father, even without a weapon. Say what you like about AC3's pathetically easy AI but beating 8 or so Redcoats single handedly without too much struggle is damn impressive.

Agility: Lincoln=70/Connor=92

As previously mentioned Lincoln is a powerhouse not an acrobat and despite facing off against inhumanly agile vampires doesn't showcase a great deal of agility in combat. Connor on the other hand is an incredibly skilled free-runner and acrobat and can effortlessly scale buildings and trees. He even incorporates his agility into combat, waving in and around his opponents, dodging their attacks and then catching them off guard with acrobatic flips and kicks.

Voting System/Notes
Anything less than 5 lines but which is competently argued and thought out will be counted as a half vote. I will inform anybody if their vote is considered a half vote and allow them to amend it to bring it up to a full point.

Irrelevant votes will not be counted at all.

This battle will take place during Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter at some point before Abe is resurrected as a vampire and as such does not possess any vampire enhanced strength or agility. For Connor the battle takes place some point after the events of AC3.

This battle will take place in a wooded area of the Frontier.
