Trull Sengar. Survives an encounter vs Icarium (Hell, he makes Icarium fear spears) stand toe-to-toe with Silchas Ruin. Beats the shit out of Clip. Gets stabbed in the back by a nameless letheri.

Also, if Trull was indeed so awesome, why even poison Brys. Trull could have beaten Brys np.

The Sengars didn't poison Brys. He sipped from the same wine that the king and Nifadas committed suicide with. Bad fortune.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

This ^ - still can't wrap my head around the way Trull died either - and it's been a few years since I first read it :unworthy:

Brys was under The Errant's influence - err.. before he became under the influence, so to speak

Both deaths were caused more or less by the Errant, so that's kind of funny k.o.r. puts them in opposition above.

Wild Bill was shot in the back (at least according to Deadwood series :-)
Shit can happen to you if there is nobody to watch your back.
I think you are just bitter that Trull tried ;-( Me too.

Jesse James was killed hanging a picture.

Theorizing that one could poop within his own lifetime, Doctor Poopet led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project, known as QUANTUM POOP. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Doctor Poopet, prematurely stepped into the Poop Accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own bowels was made through brainwave transmissions, with Al the Poop Observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Doctor Poopet could see and hear. Trapped in the past, Doctor Poopet finds himself pooping from life to life, pooping things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next poop will be the poop home.

All of us, weak and strong alike, will be killed by an animal rebellion in the coming century ala Day of the Animals. This kind of thing just happens.

pretty sure there was a line in midnight tides somewhere where Trull thinks something like how it was beneficial that Brys was killed by poison as noone would have been able to beat him otherwise. Let me check again.

I believe any consideration of his own abilities by Trull has to taken in context of his character. He was always very humble and never seemed to realize what a bad ass he really was. The only times we ever see him lose a fight is when his spear breaks because it cannot keep up with his own abilities.

When he finally gets the seemingly unbreakable spear I am not sure how many entities could have beaten him at that point. Shame he died before we could find out. I am sure Silchas and Clip can attest to his potential.

In Reaper's Gale the Letherii Chancellor admits that he had poisoned the wine to kill the king, but he didn't think Brys would drink it as well. As said above, it was bad luck (albeit bad luck 'nudged' by the Errant, as he admits in one of his POVs).
