Sienkiewicz Trilogy/Awesome

• Volodyjowski is made of this trope. A notable example is his duel with Kmicic near the start of "The Deluge"; it starts with Kmicic taunting him about his size. Volodyjowski proceeds to pwn him not once but twice, all the while making it clear that to him it's a boring chore and he's not even having fun or straining himself at all. Kmicic has to beg for a mercy kill, which is apparently delivered, but he gets better.
