[surrogate-gaia-art]

The "Duellist" is a type of No-Man who came into the Great No-Man's Land as noble vanquishers of evil, before succumbing to its curse as well. In their new form, they are maniacal challenge-seekers looking for a suitable opponent.

Duellists in their ghoulish state do keep a strange code of honour, as opposed to ther No-Men. Unnarmed and vulnerable opponents are given a weapon to fight with, or are ignored if a more worthy quarry is within sight.

A Duellist will always bow or gesture before striking, but once they have begun, they won't stop until their opponent lies dead.

#OTD in 1761 – John MacNaghten, a gambler, duellist and criminal, is hanged at Strabane jail for his involvement in the killing of Mary Anne Knox, daughter of Andrew Knox MP.

One of the earliest recorded public hangings associated with Lifford Courthouse is that of John MacNaghten in 1761. Such was the publicity surrounding the case that even though it is over 250 years ago, the incident is still remembered this day and is now part of local folklore. It was in the newly-built County Gaol that MacNaghten was held while awaiting trial for the murder of his…

The Duellist ( 1977 )

the one thing that’s weird about the specs so far is that duellist could not more clearly be assassin with a bonus necrotic damage theme. and it would be maybe a normal alternate name for it if duellist wasn’t an established other thing in these games. obviously veilguard is trying to do its own fresh thing with the specs but then why would you say duellist and lead people to believe it’s duellist like just think of a third name

Ridley Scott: I made a film about two rival officers constantly duelling throughout and in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, and now I've actually done a film about Napoleon!

Me: Great! Could you also do a film about Baron Dominique Jean Larrey, a vital innovator in European battlefield surgery and triage, often considered the first military surgeon; who pioneered the ambulance volantes ("Flying ambulances") to quickly transport wounded men from the battlefield, effectively creating a forerunner of the modern MASH units; co-led the team that performed one of the first accurately recorded pre-anaesthetic mastectomies in Western medicine; was spotted helping wounded men while under heavy fire during the Battle of Waterloo by the Duke of Wellington who purposefully ordered for his soldiers not to fire in Larrey's direction; and when captured by the Prussians after the battle was about to be executed on the spot when he was recognised by one of the German surgeons, who pled for his life because he had saved the life of Field Marshall Blücher's son some years earlier?

Ridley Scott:

Ridley Scott: Um.

Me: Yeah. Didn't think so.

“Nobody understands why you fight with him. It's supposed to be a secret between the pair of you. I believe it's a secret of your very own. I believe you feed your spite on him with no more sense than a blood-sucking louse.”
